A Collection of Algorithms

[Piotr Grochowski]

This thread used to be for showing algorithms, but recently a thread where you show whole cube solutions (and cases for the algorithms) was merged here. A good example to follow is my 2x2 solution (at post #1981)

My PLL algorithms updates (changed U-perms and Z-perm):

My PLL algorithms updates (changed U-perms and Z-perm):

Please try to learn better j perms and g perms, on algdb.net it shows the most popular one first, In general that is the best, though not always, also usually 3 gen is better than 4 gen, I saw some rather horrific j perms there

So there's this adjacent parity alg for swapping UF and UR: [R U R' U' Uw2 Rw2 U2 : 2R2]

You can rearrange it a bit to get an alg to swap UB and UL: [Uw2 R U R' U' Rw2 U2 : 2R2]

Found another adjacent parity (UL-UF) based on the same idea: [Uw' R U R' Uw' Rw2 U2 : 2R2]. This one flows pretty nicely and is even two moves shorter in QTM than the sexy parity sexy' alg, but it's a bit tricky to switch between U and Uw moves.

Just to complete the collection, there's [R U' R' U Uw2 Rw2 U2 : 2R2] for UB-UR, but I don't quite like this one.

An unusual F-Perm: F2 U2' R2 U R2' U' R2 U2' R2' U' F2 U2' R2 U' R2'
Good or not? You decide.
Good for big cubes?

An unusual F-Perm: F2 U2' R2 U R2' U' R2 U2' R2' U' F2 U2' R2 U' R2'
Good or not? You decide.
Good for big cubes?

It doesn't seem very fingertrickable and requires a rather annoying regrip or am I executing it wrong?
And isn't it higher qtm than the standard one

 

[Pyjam]

I do not regrip a single time.

An unusual F-Perm: F2 U2' R2 U R2' U' R2 U2' R2' U' F2 U2' R2 U' R2'
Good or not? You decide.

Imo it's a bit too long in QTM to be good. It's much longer than the standard alg, and both are RUF, so I don't think it'd be better than the standard on bigcubes either.

Generally any of the <R2, F2, L2, B2, U, D> algs aren't good for speedsolving. Which is unfortunate because programs like CE generate a lot of them.

Two algorithms for 3 twisted corners, not in http://algdb.net
R2' D' R U2 R' D R U R' F R U R U' R' F' R
and reverse: R' F R U R' U' R' F' R U' R' D' R U2 R' D R2

 

[Pyjam]

No regrip RUF Z-Perm: R U2' R' U' R' F' R U2 R U' R' U' R' F R2 U' R'

An interesting LSLL algorithm I discovered while messing around during fmc asia:

R U R'//insert pair
R U R' U' R' F R F'//LL
This cancels down to 8 moves, but it can be done like this:
U2 R U B U2 B' R', which is 7 moves

 

[Pyjam]

COLL / ZBLL L for 2 twisted corners :
R D R' U R' D2 R U2 R' D2 R U' R D' R'

 

[Arc]

I made a new CMLL alg, or at least I haven't seen it before.
r U' r' U2 r' D' r U2 r' D r

Its mirror is good as well.
r' U r U2 r D r' U2 r D' r'

Hey everybody!

So I was on Algdb.net yesterday, and I was looking at G perms, specifically the Ga perm. And I found this really nice 3 gen, R U F alg! It is super fingertricky, and even though it is a bit long, it can be very fast! Tell me what you guys think!

y R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F'

 

[Hazel]

I like it, but it just seems too long to be fast... I'd love for someone to prove me wrong though!

It is long, but it can be done fast. However, I don't think it is probably as good as the R U D variant.

Yeah, there is no regrips. Just have to be able to double-flick U2's with your left hand (something that I'm getting better at, but I'm still not great at it).

No regrip RUF Z-Perm: R U2' R' U' R' F' R U2 R U' R' U' R' F R2 U' R'

That isn't bad, but using M moves are way faster.

This is a J perm cancelled into a T perm. Good for big cubes, but the standard alg(s) are better for 3x3.

I guess I didn't realize that! Thanks for the information! How much better are the "regular" algs for 3x3?

The one that most people use is quite fast if you fingertrick it properly. See this video

I know some people use the RUD algs too.

This video would have definitively convinced me to choose a different algorithm if it wasn't already the case.
