what is zbbl

Do you mean ZBLL?

For the bowtie OLL, I do x U R' U' r x' U R U' R'. The rotations make the alg flow better. Using F instead of rotating and doing U for the first half is a little more awkward

Ok thanks. Next time I come up with an alg, I'll check it on the wiki and algdb.net to see if they're original first.

I've heard about the {M, U} U perms and I've tried them but I use the {R, U} ones because I find it hard to perform the M clockwise moves.

Same here. A lot of people wind up executing "M" like r' R or R r' instead of flicking the M layer backwards. As a for instance: Jayden Mcneill put together a video of all his PLLs with execution, and he uses R/r combos instead of M for those U perms. Check it out.

I meant like at 3:05 of the video, where he pulls his ring finger up and pushes the M layer down. It's that reaching that is kind of awkward and uncomfortable for me. I guess it just comes down to practice.

Or personal preference.

I use the same fingertrick for that M move (but different fingertricks for the M2s), and I don't find it that uncomfortable. But I use a smaller cube (54.5mm), which might make it easier.

AoLong or WeiLong (Or maybe the FangShi (in which case that'd be a typo (it's 54.6)))

The MoYu.

SHUANGREN! IT'S THE SHUANGREN!
seriously, can people please call the ShuangRen the Shuangren, or I'll start to call every MoYu cube 'the MoYu'...

Spoiler

oh and btw, I use an AoLong

I think it's because of the size maybe, both the cube and my hands. My Moyu Weilong is 57mm counterpart so it may be too big.

Do you do it regripless? I don't see how I could get that faster than mine, also in a solve you'll have to do a z2/x2.

I do it without any regrip ( something like R L' R' L F' L' R L R' F). I can do it in ~1.00

 

[kcl]

Unfortunately, it isn't new. It's definitely a good alg though; it's my favourite for that case. It does have the disadvantage that you can't do it for a back slot though.

I tend to use something like R2 U R U' R' U' R' U' R U R' for that case in the back.

R U' R2 U R2 U R2 U' R

2-2 swap of pairs, not too useful (I guess you could use it to multislot the 2 edges) but it's fun to execute.

 

[TDM]

R U' R2 U R2 U R2 U' R

2-2 swap of pairs, not too useful (I guess you could use it to multislot the 2 edges) but it's fun to execute.

This is almost really useful for ZZ... but U R2 U2 R' U2 R2 is better imo.

Another F2L alg: R2 U2' R2' F R2 F' U2' R' U R'

 

[rjcaste]

Another F2L alg: R2 U2' R2' F R2 F' U2' R' U R'

Is the F' executed with the ring finger?

It feels so good to execute that alg. It just flows so smoothly.

 

[Lazy Einstein]

It feels so good to execute that alg. It just flows so smoothly.

Has a R2' U2 F R2 F' U2' R' U R' feel.

Well, I'll practice it, is it possible for you to make a vid?

 

[TDM]

Yeah, that's how I do it.

Has a R2' U2 F R2 F' U2' R' U R' feel.

I found it using that alg. It's R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 to swap FR/BR, then your R2' U2 F R2 F' U2' R' U R' to flip the edge.

R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 R2 U2 F R2 F' U2' R' U R' -> R2 U2 R2 F R2 F' U2' R' U R'
