hellocubers' quest to solve the 3x3 in under 15 seconds with CFOP

[Megaminx lover]

What algs do you use for the N Perms? I use F' R U R' U' R' F R2 F U' R' U' R U F' R' for Na (inverse is also good) and r' D' F r U' r' F' D r2 U r' U' r' F r F'
(Alt: R' U R U' R' F' U' F R U R' F R' F' R U' R )

Nb is fine. I have a 8.75 single full step with Nb, and can execute it easily sub 1.4. Na is the literal embodiment of “worst PLL”, but probably still sub 1.5able, however other plls have similar problems like V, F and the R perms.

Gc or Gd is worst PLL

Dude that Na is way better than R U R' U (Jb Perm) U2 R U' R'

I use lefty Na for nb

I use lefty Na for nb

I'm pretty slow.

 

[Waffles]

r' D' F r U' r' F' D r2 U r' U' r' F r F'

I'm pretty slow.

Use the exec above

r' D' F r U' r' F' D r2 U r' U' r' F r F'

Use the right fingertrick or you will struggle with this alg.

Anyway, I just practiced on 3x3 and got PB 35.485 ao5!
Also, 2x2 ao200: 9.27

 

[hellocubers]

Just learned this alg for ub perm! M2 U' M U2 M' U' M2.

Yo, I have a tip for you:
When you drill algs like pll or oll, try to do them with good fingertricks, no matter how hard they are. Keep practicing until you can do them well, then stop for 2 minutes, and then go back and practice algs again. You should do this 5-10 times, with each algorithm you need to improve on, like for your case, N perms.
And find the best way to do. Not the easiest, the best, which may be hard to do at first.

every pll is technically "fine". Relative to other plls, nb is garbage though and imo worse than Na, since the best algs are mirrors of each other, but since im right hand dominant, nb has a slight grip shift in the rdf alg

like for you case

Weird. Maybe I hate Na so much because the only reasonable alg is righty? I know that’s the reason I like Ja and Aa perms

Use F' R U R' U' R' F R2 F U' R' U' R U F' R' instead of R F U' R' U R U F' R2' F' R U R U' R' F, imo it's slightly better

I do use the second one, if I used the setup to Jb perm one I would just DNF the solve if I ever got it.

 

[hellocubers]

Time to post here again. Anyway i'm learning ZZ just for fun.

When you try to do a U Perm (M2 U' thing) on a 2x2.

that's basically doing U' U2 U' lmao

I'm used to turning the 3x3. My main event is 2x2 but I practice 3x3 so much that I would do whatever edge PLL there is on a 2x2.
