Another U-perm thread

[DaveyCow]

So my PLL counterclockwise U-perm is (solid side on L): R2 U' F B' R2 F' B U' R2
I end up regripping a bunch (like I do y for the F B' etc... - I'm no good at S or E slice moves but its kinda fun to do the way I do it. It's just way slow though. I think Ima try changing to (solid side on F): M2 U M' U2 M U M2

But I was wondering how fast can people do my R2 ... U-perm? Is it just me that's way slow at it?

 

[TheZenith27]

Try these:
Counterclockwise: R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2
Clockwise: R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R' (Backwards of first algorithm.)
Solved block on B face

3th alg that i show.

 

[Weston]

I can do the R2 alg sub 1.

This is one way of doing it.

I prefer a slightly different way though. I use my index finger and ring finger to do the F and B' simultaneously, and then vice versa for the F' B

 

[n00bcub3r]

for your R2 perm i can't execute that fast either. i use R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 but that is just like regripping all the time. I think i may use your M slice perm instead no regrips

I use M2 U M' U2 M U M2 and the best I've gotten is .61. But sometimes I'll still use the 2 gen one if I want to do it from the front.

For cases from the front, just just invert the M' with M

ex. M2 U M' U2 M U2 M2 --> M2 U M U2 M' U2 M2

ah nicey - so yeah I need to fix my figertrickery on that..... looks kewl the way you do it

<M, U>
Is that not 2-gen already? >.<

Personally I use M2 U M' U2 M U M2 as well, but that's mostly because I'm a Roux solver (that algorithm pretty much turns the cube into a Roux solve).

Skip to 8:40 . its the same alg as urs. (My F face is kinda on the R side )

I'm surprised nobody has linked here yet. The ones already mentioned are the most common ones

Edit: It doesn't have :M2'u'M'u'2M'u'M2'

 

[Vinny]

Fixed...

Thanks, I didn't notice that until now.

fun one i found a few weeks back.... (R U R' U') (L' U' L U) U (U R U' R') (U' L' U L)

ah thats nicey! and i luv yur hunting story btw - i saw/saved those a few months ago and it helped my intuitive F2L alot (though my F2L still sux because of horrible lookahead - must practice more!)

I got a 1.48 on R2 U' F B' R2 F' B U' R2 (executed basically as written - I used the right index and ring to do the FB' and F'B). So it's not too bad, it can definitely be sub-1 if you have decent TPS (I don't). The MU and 2gen ones are probably better in the long run though.

 

[Hershey]

I got 1.06. PB with this alg.

I execute it as R2' U' F B' R2 F' B U' R2' and can consistently do it sub .75.
However, I don't use it in solves unless it comes up in the proper angle because it's riskier for me to perform than the standard RU algs.
