How to force OLL skip on 4x4 [video]

[pedrinroque]

this is a tutorial about how to force an OLL skip when we have OLL parity + 2 corners to orient.
The basic idea is to meet the U color (in this case yellow) of one of the corners with the flipped edge.

awesome, I hope I can do it intuitively. Just get the bar in front with setup moves right?

Oh wow, this is awesome. Thanks!

oh yeah, this is the speed version of the edge flip, except not a true edge flip. i use this normally rofl, i guess i really should think of it a bit more on maybe how to set up this case since i know how the alg affects the edge and corners. i don't think and plan while i solve nearly as much as i should lol

Amazing! I hadn't thought of this before.

That is a very smart and awesome thing to do.
Please also do a PLL parity fingertrick tutorial, i love your sub1 parity

This is going to be very useful Can this be applied to the OP alg Rw U2 Rw x U2 Rw U2 Lw' x' U2 Lw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw'?

as long as your OLL parity alg flips a dedge and two corners next to each other

Actually, no, not for all cases. Notice the difference between the two algs. This OP alg swaps the UL and UR edges, but the one in the video does not. (The alg in the video is a "double parity" alg) Notice what happens if you conjugate this OP alg by B L, as pedrinroque does for one of the U cases. You will flip 3 edges instead of 1. (In fact, I regularly use B'R' [OP alg] RB as a 3-flip OLL parity alg in my solves, but with the alg in this video, that just solves a 1-flip U case.)

If it help you, its nice to me

thats the idea

I see. I guess I have to come up with my own setup moves then :/ thanks.

simply awesome

I like the idea behind this, but I wish it worked with lucas parity I still learned a few tricks though Keep up the good work!

I've seen a thread similar that uses the OP algs you use. But its more like short algs as the setup moves.

iirc you can try R' F R F' [OP] R U' R'. I have not got an even cube with me now as I'm in a class. I'll try to dig the thread later to see if I can get it out.

EDIT: Found it, was looking for it for sometime to realise that I searched 4x4 instead of even.
This, this and this.

 

[canadiancuber]

whats the parity algorithm?

 

[Akiro]

Could you please write down the double aprity alg from pedrinroque??
