good or bad?

Depending on how you fingertrick it could be good. I quite like it though i have practised alternating between pushing and flicking quite a lot which this alg definitely need a lot of (also i don't know the alternate alg)

Does anybody use the r' D r U2 (repeat) N-Perm? I found it yesterday and I think I may start using it instead of the R U R' U (JPERM) undo.

I use it but the other one is probably better- i only know it because i'm too lazy to learn the other one and don't even need PLL most of the time.

I use the RUD one

What about my 5gen one (scroll up)?

Nice. Also useful as a TTLL... I was solving this case as U2 L2 setup to an R perm.

I don't like the F move at the end though. There probably is a better alg

I recently created this new algorithm for the double headlights case in 2 look OLL. (Now that I research it I dont think I discovered it but anyway this is why I prefer it.) Instead of using F(R,U,R',U')(R,U,R',U')(R,U,R',U')F' I use R,U2,R',U',(R,U,R',U')R,U',R' To me it flows much better and is one move shorter (if you count the U2 as one move). This algorithm rotates all corner pieces and dosen't change their orientation. I use this alg to get sub 20 times. This is my first post and I don't know if I'm doing it right but I wanted to share this algorithm.

Sorry but I think the alg you "created" is the one everyone uses.

Oh well sorry. I used F(R,U,R',U')(R,U,R',U')(R,U,R',U')F' for the longest time and i was messing around for a while and came up with that one.

I use R U R' U R U' R' U R U2 R', I feel like that's a pretty good headlight OLL because it runs just like sune and is short. I can easily sub-1 it. I do like your algorithm though, but I am comfortable enough that I don't need to switch.

 

[sqAree]

Actually it's exactly the inverse of his alg. I like his alg more because I prefer U' over U as my right hand is busy with R moves. But that's maybe just me.

Ohh, I was wondering how they were so similiar and exactly the same movecount. Makes sense. I guess it's a preference thing.

It's a double anti-sune.

Welcome to the forum and congrats for coming up with an alg on your own. There's a great website called algdb.net that lists most of the common algs for various cases and lists how many people use the alg. The double headlights case is here:
http://algdb.net/Set/OLL/OLL 21

You'll see that the alg you posted (double anti-sune) and the other alg (F triple sexy) are roughly equal in popularity.

You may be interested in going through some of the other cases and seeing if there are other algorithms you prefer over the ones you're currently using.

 

[Aaron Lau]

um this is not necessarily better than the f triple sexy because they have different corner permutations

Yes but they're purely talking about CO and not CP so i don't see how this is relevant.

I guess, i was just saying that the alg isn't necessarily better but i see what u mean since they're only taking bout CO.

Also, what does this mean?

This algorithm rotates all corner pieces and dosen't change their orientation.

Isn't the point of rotating the corners to change the orientation?

He is saying that all of these algs are usable. This case is perfect for solving corner permutations as it is very easy to recognize, so I always check the colours on the corners and decide which alg will permute my corners.
