How do you learn PLL?

[ElderKingpin]

Im beginning to learn full PLL and i want to know. how do you figure out set-up moves? and how do you tell what cubies go where with all of those arrows?

What setup moves?

and how do you tell what cubies go where with all of those arrows?

Um, you follow the direction of the arrow and see where the piece goes. Is it so hard to understand?

All PLL set-up moves (excluding A's, U's and G's) are the PLL itself.
And the arrows are there to tell you which piece goes where lol.
For instance... Z perm:

The double arrow means those edges are being swapped.

uhhhh i memorize the algs and i learn muscle memory

I use Dan Harris' site to recognise PLLs and keep executing algorithms to see which one is good.

When I learned PLL I just kept doing the algorithms until I got them down. Recognition comes in after a while of doing it naturally. If you're lazy like I am, learn some mirrors/inverses and that takes the count down to ~14.

Recognize the situation, AUF if needed, look at where evrything needs to go, and perform. I rarely like doing x y z rotations, but at least it relieves the pain of performing B and B' moves. The only hard part is probably the 4 G Perms.

same, when I was learning the PLLs I learned them from cubestation.co.uk.

and how do you tell what cubies go where with all of those arrows?

The arrows show which cubies need to be swapped or cycled with each other. The cubies that don't have arrows point to them are already solved.

I used the wiki's algs and just a lot of practice.

I am learning that G perm is among the slowest for me too. The execution is not very smooth.

I just solve as much pieces possible, then recognize which alg to apply from there. If I can't tell which case it is, I adjust the U face until I recognize it.

I am in the process of learning full PLL. I find just picking one per day and doing continuously until it is basically just muscle memory. I agree that the G perms are the slowest/hardest to learn and recognise.

 

[magicsquares]

Basically just muscle memory for memorization. For recognition, go to http://www.cubewhiz.com

Bob Burton has great recognition tips there.

Recognition is not a big problem for me. Executing the G perm is the problem, it's quite a troublesome and interruptive algorithm for me. Time to look at Wiki.
