Cubing swear words.

I don't understand the hate toward E perms, I don't mind them at all. F perms make me want to cry though.

I'm kind of a big fan of "what the parity."

Oh I was only suggesting these algorithms as an alternative for those who don't like the common ones.

However I think this algorithm: (R2 U R' U') y (R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R') y' (R U' R2') is very good for big cubes (well I love using this alg on the 4x4x4), I find it more reliable and erm.. less lock-uppy than any other algorithm I've ever tried. Highly recommended for big cubes 5/5 :p

Maybe you should ask fanwuq for tips, I know he can sub-2 with these algorithms, I don't use these algorithms for 3x3x3, I use the one found by Lars Vandenbergh.

Sub-2 isn't that hard. Can anyone do E-perm faster than 1.19? I like my alg for it, it's just 2 OLL's: RU'R' D RUR' D' and then RUR' D RU'R' D'. So no weird u2 or cube rotations. Just plain simple and RUD.

On topic:
parity wins by far I'd say. But POP might be a good one too. Instead of like: oh shoot (shoot can be replaced by any far more ruder word if you like) you could just say 'Oh POP!'.

People sometimes insult people with classes by calling them a 4-eyed... something. You might as well do this with cubes. Oh you POPing 5-paired piece of crap!....

Whatever, funny-ness isn't my forte :P
 
N-perm might be a swear word. But I think most people think of it more like a jinx, like: "Don't ever say N-perm! You might get it in a competition!"

The swear word I hear most at competitions is "verdamt!" which is a great swear word even if your not german :)
 
@E perm haters: Have you ever tried:

(R2 U R' U') y (R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' F) (U' F2)

or

(R2 U R' U') y (R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R') y' (R U' R2')

Fanwuq and I found this alg :)

Robert,

How fast can you execute these algs? I agree that they "feel" fast, but I can't make them faster than my standard E perm alg. 18 turns is a lot, even with lots of sexy move style stuff. I have to say that I don't like these algs, but if you can give us tips on how to execute quickly I am open to keep trying them.

Chris

After practicing about 50 times, I got an average of around 1.8s using the first alg. That's about 0.3 seconds faster than the standard <R,U,D,u> alg. During a real solve, I'm quite a bit slower, but it's speed is still about as fast as standard alg and much less likely to lock up. I find the U'y very natural to do as a d' turn. This alg doesn't require any regrips at all if you don't count the d'. Start the alg with R index at FDR and do R2UR'd'. After the sexy moves, R' transitions directly to F using R index and L index pulls the U' then R index double triggers F2. This is my main alg on the real cube. I'm too used to the LUR alg for hi-games.net. Virtual cubes don't lock up or have awkward regrips, so a short alg is always faster unless there are way too much finger repeats.

Edit:
Erik is right, sub-2 is not so impressive, but I don't have lightning fast fingers. I would say the times with the standard algs should be about the same, this one is just feels better and is easier to control. If you get an E perm in competition, you are probably already angry and chances are you will pop and lock up on an alg that you don't like. Use an alg only if you like it.

@Fanwuq, yep Erik is right, his E perm is quite good for big cubes, I should've tried it out before. Now I use Lars Vandenbergh's algorithm for 3x3x3 speedsolves and one hand, and I use Erik's algorithm for big cubes and computer :)

Anyway... no one has mentioned:

What the Fridrich?!
What the Harris Chan?! / What the Hardwick?!

OH Sh...otaro Makisumi!

Oh for Petrus' sake! :p

I can't take anymore of your BS! (Blind solves :p) (You're too good!)
 
@E perm haters: Have you ever tried:

(R2 U R' U') y (R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R') y' (R U' R2')

I just switched to that one, actually. I like it a lot better than the RUD one, but the real pain is recognition of an e perm. I just keeping AUFing and looking for a 1x2 block that never comes...

I recognized the last one exactly the same way :)
And I switched too.. A day before a comp. Is that a good idea? idk but I did :D I can exec my last E perm with 4.10 (on first try) and that was 4.26 on first try when I read the alg from the sheet

Just tried: 3.18
