How to Read PLL Diagrams?

[Outsmash]

Yeah. Arrow diagrams are pretty much pointless for now.
Blocks (2x2x1), Bars (3x1x1) and headlights are the way to go.

G-perms do not need arrows. Learn the relationship between headlights and 1x1x2 block. Example: _ :' :, :- )
For A perms,the 2x2x1 block and headlights is the way you recognise.(headlights back and block left, or headlights back and block right)
Hope this helps.

Dude, can you explain the cube shorthand you used? _ :' :, :- )

Dude, can you explain the cube shorthand you used? _ :' :, :- )

That's the first time I've seen this shorthand. I like it =D
So the : are the headlights on left. The _ ' , - are where the 1x2 block is relative to the headlights on left (on front, in back right, in front right, and in back, respectively).
And I still don't know the G-perms.
