If by need help you mean 'I can't seem to learn it', just sit down and learn it. On this sheet are some good algs; choose one and learn it.
I think the alt F Perm should be the main alg because it's shorter and is a lot faster than the regular F Perm (at least for me tho(it's my main alg)). The setup to T perm is worth it only if it skips AUF(my opinion, I guess not the best)
 
Move optimal G Perms that can be used for 3c3e insertions (maybe) :
Ga: B2 R2 L2 U L2 U' L2 D L2 D' R2 B2
Gb: R2 F2 U R2 D' R2 D B2 U' F2 B2 R2
Gc: F2 R2 L2 U' L2 U L2 D' L2 D R2 F2
Gd: F2 R2 U' F2 D F2 D' L2 U R2 L2 F2
Was doing a casual FMC attempt. got 3c3e on a handscramble, got frustrated, tore and threw my sheet in the bin and looked up CE for these insertions lol. The solve was supposed to be high 40 lol

The old-school G perms with wide moves are also optimal:
R2 u R' U R' U' R u' R2 F' U F = R2 D B' U B' U' B D' R2 F' U F

And there're the antislice G perms too:
F B U2 F' B' L' U R' U2 L U' R

If you only do FMC casually, you really shouldn't be learning algs solely for FMC. You won't remember them when you actually need them. (Or at least, that's my experience.)

That Antislice G perm can be rewritten like this:
y' R L U2 R' L' y L' U R' U2 L U' R. If that y' at the start is eliminated with pre AUF, then the alg is actually a good OH alg

ya. I got it off of a sheet that came with my cube so for sure. That sheet also recommended the g perms with wide moves and rotations and a z<RUD> ja perm.
Was it z D' R U' R2 D R' D' R2 U D z' ?
Asking bc it's just a rotation of the popular <RUL> algorithm which is also awkward to execute.


Also, a ridiculous Y Perm that no one should use lol:
F R U' R' U' R U R' F' (H perm) R U R' U' R' F R F'
 
Was trying to find some alt-angle algs for ZBLL T 2 since I didn't really like my "old" alg (R' U2 R U' R' U F' U F U F' U2 F U2 R) or the top one on Juju's list and I got these two… things.

S D r' U' R U R f' U' f M' D' S'
r U M' B' R U' r' U B U' r U r' U' r'

The second one is "regripless", but has some fabulous overturning. I couldn't get the execution for either of these fast or reliable, but the best singles I had with these were a bit better than with my old alg.

(Ended up settling on R2 U2 R' U R U' R U2 R U L' U R U' L anyway, which was about 0.5 s faster than the other algs I wrote above.)
 
I already posted these on the 2x2 discussion thread, but I'm posting them again because I've played around with them a bit and I think they're better than the traditional wisdom of J/Tperm starting with R' and ending with R2 (I've never found that particularly fast; only works on bar on left without D moves and even then is 15 moves). These algs have no D moves and I've tested them to be fairly fingertrickable (no regrips).

The idea is to mix R2 F2 R2 / R2 B2 R2 anti-CLL alg with the fast diag adj PBL (R2 U' R2 U)2 R2 (can also swap U and U'). Let me know if you can execute these faster than the modified J perm.

I might actually learn these
All of them except for bar bottom left I'm confident are better than doing D moves then modified J perm. I'm not sure about bar bottom left case.

I looked through the algs generated by cube solver and there's more possibly viable bar bottom left algs:
F2 R F R' F2 R U' R U R2'
my fingertricks are not that advanced to do that many F moves.

it's quite fast ngl, i found some good fingertricks
