5BLD (or Panda) do you have a decent OH diagonal corner swap PLL that disregards M slice...?

I use the Y perm at the moment and it kills the wrist to perform it because of stupid F turns -.-
 
RUR'U'L2URU'R'U2L2UL2UL2 --a Y perm

That one is perfect, so much nicer to perform... even with 2 hands =o

EDIT : Added to cubing pages CMLL and PLL alternative

I am trying to do as good blockbuilding as I can. (Hard when using CFOP in one year and never practised blockbuilding)
I am doing a 1x2x2 block and then inserting a pair. (most often)
How many moves should I average for the 1x2x2 block? What is the maximum of moves that I should use?
 
I don't think Gilles does blocks on UD normally.
Also, that's a corners first website, lots of cool cases there which I may start using for LSE, but he was just demonstrating how E can be useful I think. That's not how you solve your SB..

Gilles, can you make a video on how you make your blocks on U/D? I'm curious because my way may be different.

I just wanted to show that for some people, using E could be as intuitive as M.
I don't know if it can be as fast. Nowadays, nobody does it this way.

For the 2nd block, even if you don't use E, R/U/u can be fast.

No video sorry, I'm not fast. Never tried to be.

I wonder if I should complete learning COLL for Roux. (I know just a few cases) or should I learn good CMLL algs?
If I learn COLL what algs should I learn then?

1. Both! 2. All of them!
COLL is slightly easier for EO prediction tho so you may want to start with it. Tho CMLL is shorter

Depends what methods you use for other cubes really..

Personally I will learn CLL before anything Roux specific because I use K4 on the 4x4 and the M slice needs to be retained, however ELL doesn't matter in the slightest so I can mess with that as much as I like

As a side note, I added a CLL page to my site this afternoon and have started learning CLL in the hope that it can drop both my 3x3 and 4x4 times to sub 20 and sub 60 respectively =)
 
I am having problem to improve my LSE. I am solving both fast and slow so I can solve without pauses. I am still averaging like 8 seconds.
I don't know what is wrong. It feels that I turn pretty fast and that I don't get many pasues at all. I am still so slow. Anything that I could do or practise?
I think I know pretty much every case for all 3 steps and how it works, but I guess my transitions isn't that good. How do I practise them?

Go slow and dont pause at all. Work on predicting the LR case after EO.

LSE : I am still averaging like 8 seconds.

Slow turning, and learn some EP tricks, M' U' M' can sometimes be more beneficial than M' U M' ... or even M' U' M / M' U M as these can save you an unnecessary M2 :o

PS. *whispers* L6E ... just don't tell 5BLD :eek:

-------------------------

5BLD, and Panda if you know them, which order did you learn the CxLL sets... or just learn the easy one first and hard ones last?

I already knew the H set a while back and I am currently working my way through the U and T sets. One a day if its a new case and 2 a day if it's just readjusting my recognition or the case has a mirror / inverse... I prefer doing an LU mirror to an RU case because all I have to do is flip my execution and not learn another algorithm + LU turns feel much nicer than RU :o

... also which stickers do you look at for the Sune and AntiSune sets? there doesn't seem to be any obvious bars on my images, although I may just be blind to them at the moment :p

if you need, there is a link to my images in signature.. just click the CLL or CMLL page, if nothing it shows you which orientation I use for the sets :)

Not that its at all relevant to the recognition, because they are identical, but I'm learning CLL as opposed to CMLL... even though the algs I have are pretty much the same anyway. Only 1 of my CMLLs even affected the M slice... and only by M2 :confused:
