New E Perm

[Scigatt]

I found this E-perm while fairly recently: (F (l' U' L U)(l F' L')) U2 ((l' U' L U)(l F' L' F)). Everyone on #rubik said it sucked, but I find it relatively(sup-1:30 PLL attack) fast and comfortable. What's wrong with it? Here's how I execute:

1.Start with left thumb on D, left fingers on U, right fingers on B, right thumb on F.
2.Use left thumb for F turn
3.Wrist l' turn, then use left index for U', then wrist for L, all while keeping grip with left hand(sliding thumb out to change to L turns).
4.Use right index for U turn, while regripping on left(fingers on B, thumb on F)
5.Wrist for l, left index for F', wrist for L', left index and middle for U2, again maintaining grip.
6.Regrip on left again(fingers on U, thumb on D)
7.Repeat steps 3 and 4
8.Wrist for l, left index for F', wrist for L', and twist wrist forward slightly and use thumb for F, keeping a (loose for the last turn) grip throughout.
9.Untwist wrist and use left index and middle for U2.

Can you get sub-2s on this regularly?

 

[Scigatt]

I don't think I can get sub-2 on any PLLs consistently, so no.

:s well it might be a good beginner's alg

hmm... I just found this one: z U2 (R2' F R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' U' F') (R2 U2)

for lefties: z' U2 (L2 F' L' U' L U L' U' L U L' U' L U F) (L2 U2)

There are a few ways to execute the beginning and ending. For the ending, I think some people might prefer to use the same ending in Yu Jeong Min's A perm (for those who know what I'm talking about, sorry to those who don't).

i'm using this from now on.

I have another-
L R B R' F R B' L' R' B L F' L' B'

@Holypasta: Hmm, do you not prefer the other one I/fanwuq found?

(R2 U R' U') y (R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' F) (U' F2) I think it's better the first one I found, although I use either.

@Sg. Speedcuber: Haha, that alg is rather old and unpopular but I'm sure it could be turned into a nice alg.
