it might be the wrong alg, or you are doing it from the wrong angle.

I have also had this same problem with the E perm. Sometimes when I do the alg, I get an H Perm. So sometimes, I have to execute the alg from the red/orange headlights, and sometimes from the green/blue headlights to successfully solve the cube with the alg. Its really annoying.

with e-perm make sure that the pieces need to go up/down not left/right

I just kinda figured it out. If I do the E Perm alg (x' L' U L D' L' U' L D L' U' L D' L' U L D) from the green/blue side, I have to execute it from the red/orange headlights. But if you do the E Perm alg from the red/orange side, you have to execute it from the green/blue headlights. That is, if you execute the alg from the wrong side, you get an H Perm. So in solves, I do not know when to predict which side to execute the alg on.

OHHHH thanks that makes my life so much easier.

But I still don't know what is going on with the V Perm

What V perm alg do you use?

 

[Scollier]

What V perm alg do you use?

I attached it in the video description, but I can put it here as well: R' U R' U' R D' R' D R' U D' R2 U' R2 D R2

 

[Skewb_Cube]

When you do your V perm alg you'll get this colour pattern, so in this example you put the blue face facing you and execute the alg, that's it.

you have to put the block on the front left, instead of the back.

I practice my move efficiency by solving on a 42 mm zhanchi. Is that stupid? lol

What is the benefit of doing U2 R U2 R' instead of U R U' R' according to algdb.net?

It gives you an OLL skip in certain last slot cases.

Wow that was quick. So would you only use it for the last slot case?

Yes, unless the pair is set up so you can just do R U2 R' instead of U' R U' R'

 

[qwr]

AFAIK there are three common F2L inserts in front right edge: U R U' R', U2 R U2 R', R' F R F' (sledge). They are used for partial edge control, i.e. avoiding dot OLL.

when is it too late to be CN (Color Neutral)?

@Micah Morrison became CN at sub-9, so I don’t think that there is a “too fast.” It is definitely recommended to do it ASAP, though.

will it be hard to do CN at sub 30?

Well, It'll be easier than when you're sub 15 or sub 10, so go for it.
