Least Favourite PLLs

I hate the N perms, and the R(a) since it's similar to the Ns

I also hate the left handed G perms as they are god damn awkward.

The E (or F? The one with the solid strip where you swap two adjacent edges and corners) is kinda weird too.

I don't really mind the V cuz I execute that one quite easily.
 
I always lock up on E, no matter how much I practice (I use the one Rowe made famous, not sure how popular it was before that).

I tried this for a while but can't do it fast. Keeps locking up. Therefore I still use the one with (R U R' U')x3.

I don't like clockwise U.
For OH.

I prefer clockwise U for 2H and anticlockwise U for OH.


I like slice moves, but I ddin't know how many people don't like them.

I don't mind slice moves, but don't like the fact that I have to regrip the cube to do it.


F and V perms are honestly my next favorite after T and U...why does everyone hate them so much??

For me it's because of regrips.


For execution: F/V
For recognition: E/N's
How are Ns hard for recognition...?

For me N sometimes has worse recognition than E cos E is uniquely haphazard, but N I have to differentiate from J so I sometimes have to recheck to make sure.


I'm suprised at how many people hate R's. These are among my favorite PLL :O
<3 R's.

Many people hate Ra but like Rb. I was one of them until I switched to left hand mirror for the Rb algorithm and now they are not that diff.


R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' U R
F perm alg that I just learned. Still not too fast, although it does contain most of the T perm in it.

I use this sometimes. It's supposed to be good but I just can't get the R' U' F' fast, and slow down at the end too.


Y perms. Seriously. I do F R U' R' U' and then i do something else and like 4 seconds later the cube either ends up solved or entirely scrambled and i have no idea what happened to cause either

I like this which I learned from Dan Knights. It is sexy. Switched to the less moves one by Chris Hardwick but switched back to Dan Knights' due to less regripping. But for OH I use the Chris Hardwick's.


Ranzha that Na perm is really frikken long...

i currently use the n perms on pochmann's site:

R U' R' U l U F U' R' F' R U' R U l' U R'
and
R' U R U' R' F' U' F R U R' F R' F' R U' R

I also use pochmann's which is supposedly improved over the older ones I use but still my worst perm. The last part locks up easily for me (Will pop Edison cube violently!). Also it is almost totally instinctive for me. If I go through the whole ordeal smoothly it is sexy, but if I miscue I will screw up.

I am considering trying the Ranzha's conjugate though it is really long. If short and slow is as slow as long and smooth, might as well go long and smooth.

I hate F - perm I solve it with (R' U R U' R2 F' U' F U R F R' F' R2 U') Anyone know something faster?

I can't stand F perms, but this is the best I've made (and it's optimal!!!):
(U2) r U' l U2 r' U r' R2 U2 R2 x U' M'

I'm not a fan of all the R' U' F' [T Perm] stuff. The setup/undosetup takes up a lot of time. My F perm is not a whole second behind my T perm so this just isn't worth it imo.

?
And thats a pretty good alg. Still don't like the PLL though lol.
And you are really learning ZBLL (from your sig) Lol good luck :tu
