Cube Rotation or AUF before PLL?

[DaijoCube]

I do AUF before PLL, then a cube rotation, then the PLL, and stop the timer.

I do that to. But since a week and a half I try to recognize PLL without U, U' or U2. I only do cube rotation. I will do U2 if it's y2, but I will y or y' if it's a U or U'

I would love to recognize all cases from any position.

I always recognize the case even without rotating the U face to line up the case. but I hardly ever rotate the whole cube. I usually sovle the whole thing with out cube rotations. It's good practice. But sometimes I forget like when I'm in a heated battle with a friend and I'm in a rush. XP

I try to AUF most times, but if it's a y or y' away then sometimes I just do that.

Good to know that you don't +2 most of your solves.

My point was that I generally try to just use U moves but I will occasionally rotate, although never if it's a y2.

I am inconsistent depending on mood. Sometimes I U2 PLL U2, sometimes I rotate the cube PLL, if I feel confident I may do T perm left hand.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about these details cos I have way bigger problems, mostly the F2L.

Anybody got that T perm on right algs(that isn;t the left handed mirror)? Couldn't find it on the wiki.
Thanks, it would save me a U2 then another U2.

EDIT: Nevermind found one. Thanks.

Starting to U2 now. Recognition plus yx is nasty right now.

PLL execution

Just a quick question: When you are done with OLL, how do you do? What I mean by that, is if you misalign the top layer so that you can perform the PLL algorithm and the align the top layer, thus solving the cube.
Or, do you align the PLL and then rotate and perform the algorithm? Peronally, I use the first trick described. If you do it any other way, feel free to describe that.

Why bumping an one and a half year old thread?

He didn't bump it. I merged his thread with this one because they're on the same topic and the older thread had some good replies.

I'll try to prepare the top layer with a U or U'.

In some cases I'll just mirror a PLL (e.g. T permutation).
