LOL that is why I only learn one algorithm at a time. Just learned the N(b) pll

I learned that one as my last PLL. I still hate it. It is probably my slowest. What Alg do you use? I use:

(z) (U' R D' R2' U R' D)2 (z')

 

[mark49152]

Yeah I hate that one too, and Na. I use the same alg but on LUR. What I really hate though, is G-perms. The execution isn't that hard, but they are all so similar that half the time I end up doing the wrong one.

Good to see you're learning the dot OLLs! I learned those recently and quite enjoy them. It's satisfying getting what used to be an "oh no" case and then solving OLL in one step.

(z) (U' R D' R2' U R' D)2 (z')

I do two times: (R' U L' U2 R U' L) but it also takes a lot of time...

I actually like the Na. I use (z) (U R' D R2 U' R D')2 (z') after finding it on YouTube. I can perform it quite quick (around 3 secs I think). About the G-perms.. Oh man.. it took me forever to overcome what you are experiencing now. But now, I never make mistakes with them and it's all just muscle memory. They are slow (compared to others like the T-perm) but it beats a two look PLL any day..

I have used that one quite some time. I think I will start using that one again as I really really hate the one I am using now.

Yeah I don't find the Gs hard and there are some nice finger tricks to make them faster. I really like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Af8Is8e20

Actually it was trying to do them faster that screwed me up. I mix them up more now that I start them from different angles rather than always having headlights to the left a la Badmephisto.

Your N perms look interesting, I will give them a go. They remind me of the E perm which is one of my favourite algs, thanks to Jskyler's vid teaching me how to not fumble it

I do (R U R' U) (R U R' F') (R U R' U') (R' F R2 U') R' U2 R U' R' for the mirror case so it's

(L' U' L U') (L' U' L F) (L' U' L U) (L F' L2 U) L U2 L' U L it's way longer but it's easier for me, and yes it's also my least favorite pll (and my slowest)

edit: Before learning it I Used to do Jb U2 Jb U which is not as bad as it looks

(R' U L' U2 R U' L) two times

 

[Cubenovice]

I do (R U R' U) (R U R' F') (R U R' U') (R' F R2 U') R' U2 R U' R' for the mirror case so it's

(L' U' L U') (L' U' L F) (L' U' L U) (L F' L2 U) L U2 L' U L

I use these too
Note it is just a R U R' U set up into J-perm, AUF and put the air back in

 

[mark49152]

Verdict on your Na alg (z) (U R' D R2 U' R D')2 (z') - awesome! How do you execute it? Seems to work for me with just one regrip while doing the U', then I do the UD' at the same time, and the final D' with my thumb. Flows very nicely. Thanks! Shame it only comes up 1 in 72

Like this. I tried to film a slow execution:

*goes download and put on slow mo slow mo*

*giggle*

 

[sneaklyfox]

Wow, so many regrips. I use the same alg but R2 opposite direction (like R2 instead of R2') and use middle finger for the R and left ring finger for both D and D'.

Ok, ok... I did a video...

Wow... that looks so fast... I will have to re-learn this one LOL

*delete's Marcel's vid en downloads this one*

LOL

 

[MarcelP]

Later... when I grow up and become world champion these video's might be worth something.. so, do not just delete them )

Do another ao12 now that you're warmed up those were great times

I did a complete Ao100 of 29 something.. Those first 12 where the fastest. I tried to film a few solves now but the magic has gone for today LOL.
