Hey guys, I know this topic has been raised a few times probably, but I just want to check shortly, because I might do a video series on how to learn OLL faster :)

So do you know all OLLs?
Are a few missing?
Are you really trying hard, but aren't really able to finish it?
Are you lacking motivation?
Or is 2Look OLL enough for you?
 
I know all OLLs for a long while now, some from multiple angles.
Learning them was a hobby within the hobby.
It's a nice feeling when you know them all and can play around with different algs for multiple angles.
But sadly, knowing them all, just on its own, doesn't make you much faster overall.
 
I still need to learn Dot OLLs, right now I just use sledgehammer if no edges are oriented. :p

This is exactly how I feel. I could probably have been faster if I had just spent the time practising 2-look but I wanted to progress my knowledge of cubing more.
 
I still have 16 left after about 2 years of trying to learn full OLL
Basically just have all the knight move shapes, the 2 P shapes that are not F sexy F'/mirror, 2 fish shapes that don't have the 2x2 block, 2 awkward shapes without headlights, 4 lightning bolts that aren't wide sune/antisune, and 2 I shapes that are double headlights.

I did an average of 50 for last layer and found that I was about 1-2 sec slower at LL when I didn't know the OLL (which was only about 8 of the solves)
 
I just started advancing from 2-look OLL a few weeks ago, and I'm at 24/57. I'll probably learn the rest over the next couple of months. I don't spend a lot of time on learning algs, I usually only work on them if I'm having a particularly bad cubing day.

I used to know them all, but I've forgotten a couple (actually, maybe just 1...) since I switched to Roux a couple months ago. So I said "A few are missing, but I'm getting there"
I could have chosen that I know them all though.

For the other p cases I just use an S setup move and then the first section of the standard Tperm. It works fine, and I Like it because I found it on my own.

I know maybe just over half OLL cases.

I say I am missing a few because I don't know the dot cases, so you couldn't give me any OLL and expect me to solve it. However, I always make sure I never get a dot case during my F2L
 
I learned them all at a time when I felt motivated to do so. I think my motivation for learning new algs at the present time is low so I'm glad I did it before. And now I just concentrate on improving my F2L.
