Maybe this one? (y x') R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R U' R' D' (x)

I will try it.

By the way, I was mindlessly repeating the new Na-perm [I finally chose this one (z) (U R' D R2 U' R D')2 (z')]
and I'm already getting 2.6 times with it. I think I'm gonna stick with it :)

R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R U' R' D' is definitely the best E perm out there ; regripless and crazy fast once used to D turns. I can do it in 1.57 while most of my PLLs aren't sub2.
For OH the same alg is good, an alternative (that works better for me) is: R2 U R' U' y R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' y' R U' R2.

I can only recommend the conjugated T perm for F (both OH and 2H).

What did you use for Na? There is R U R' U R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U2 R U' R'.

This one has no rotations so, maybe I shoud start using it also for 2H

Yeah you should.. It is easily sub 3. I use that one too.

For Na I use z U R' D R2 U' R D' U R' D R2 U' R D' z'

Except for the rotation/regrip at the start. Here's a similar alg with no rotation: R' U' R' D' R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R2

Nice alg.

Yes, this is the same. :)

BTW nice Na perm. I knew it but never used. Seems fine. 2,3 with it!

Wow... that's pretty nice! Never knew about that one.

Edit: Just realized this is also one of the E-Perms I use on Megaminx. Makes it a lot easier to remember. The standard E Perm also works on a different case on Mega.

This is awesome. I'm going to try some of these n perms, mine sucks! Actually all my perms are pretty slow, I might be close to 2 on a couple but the rest are probably 3 or 4.
 
Just got home from work and .. oh wow, what a lot of PLL feedback. Great stuff all. I will stackmat time my PLLs if I find time tomorrow.

As for current topic of conversation, Na, I use ...

F' R U R' U' R' F R2 F U' R' U' R U F' R'

But I perform it without regrip with the last F and F' done with the right ring finger push and pull. The hardest of my PLLs to explain. I'll also YouTube that tomorrow and link it.

Good choice of Na and I believe the one Brendan Vallance chose when he did a video with sub 1 second for all PLLs a few years back :)

Okay, didn't expect that quite yet... 3bld 02:11.48 (44.8 memo). A solve where everything came together. Quite easy memo, 5 edge cycles, 3 corner cycles and one twisted corner, no mistakes or memory lapses and no long breaks to figure out how to execute cycles. I don't expect to beat that in a while. Old PB (from yesterday) was 3:01.

I've been looking at some PLL algs if there would be something there to help with parity, but haven't found anything really useful yet. I found that solving last two corners and edges can often be done with shorter algs if the corners aren't correctly oriented like in PLL, so I've learned some of those instead. Had to learn something new anyway as I don't know PLL. Jb-perm seems to be the only easy one that works well with my buffers, but since I already have a good one that swaps my UFR buffer with LUB, there are very few cases that would benefit from setting up to UBR instead.
 
Nice time Jan.
Today I've decided to back to M2, because it's so familiar and my times around 2 minutes become annoying to me. And I've made a 2nd solve 1:20 with memo around 30. Algs from turbo works with M2, but they do different things. Mark's thread about advanced M2 is a great inspiration to me.
 
Should I learn full OLL and PLL for OH? It's not an event I care much about but I find myself doing it a lot when I'm casually solving or walking around. Mostly, I find it annoying having to 2-look a case for which I already know a 2H alg.

The only PLL algs I found impossible to do for OH were H, Nb, U (since I used MU), V and Z. I learnt a nice F perm also. Nobody really learns full OH OLL, most people just do the ones they know and avoid those that they don't know (it shouldn't be that many). You can also learn some COLL.
