Question for people who use partial-edge control, how do you deal with this case?

[rubiknewbie]

I am mostly interested in using partial edge control for OH.

In these 2 cases, there are no edge oriented going into last slot. What algorithms do you apply (especially for OH) for these cases? Or do you ignore edge-control and go on to do the dot OLL cases?

 

[Rpotts]

First one, R' F R F' aka sledgehammer as people like to call it. It will orient the front and right LL edges.

Dunno bout the second one, I usually just R U R' because I know all of the no edges OLLs, even though many of them are pretty slow.

R'FRF' and RU'R'U2R'FRF'. cba to work out the ZBF2L

First one:F' U' F R U R' U' F' U' F R U' R'
Second one:R U2 R' F' U' F R U R' U' F' U' F R U' R'
I get Sub 30 using these algorithms (I found these by myself)

These.

First one:F' U' F R U R' U' F' U' F R U' R'
Second one:R U2 R' F' U' F R U R' U' F' U' F R U' R'
I get Sub 30 using these algorithms (I found these by myself)

lolololol. If you really hate dot cases that much, just force a couple to orient using the algs Kirjava posted, but seriously, 2 Look OLL is better than using those.

I don't hate dot cases THAT much .

I think for the second case you might be better off trying to solve the F2L case + the OLL case which will come up, then move on to PLL.

I posted all of the algs I found (I only bothered to find around 10 algs) in one of blah's thread (yeah sorry not that helpful )

First one: obvious.

Second one: I was so kindly given: U2 L F' L' U' L F L'

 

[Robert-Y]

First one: obvious.

Second one: I was so kindly given: U2 L F' L' U' L F L'

Wow, thanks for that alg

(I should've just used cube explorer to find a nice alg )

 

[rubiknewbie]

1st case I may remember to use sledgehammer.

2nd case I may use RU'R'U2R'FRF' for OH.

LF'L'U'LFL' is like an OLL case which I don't like for OH. I may try for 2-hands.

 

[Sa967St]

first one:
y l' U' l U2 M' U' M

 

[Meep]

2nd one: (y U') M L' U L U' M'

 

[keemy]

first one i just sledge hammer but if you use left hand for OH you may want to try this conjugated sledgehammer L R'URU' L'

2nd one
i do (x) l U' l' U2 L U L' U (x') but i use my right hand for OH so you may not like that if you use left.

Second one:
R U' (R2 F R F') U2 (R' F R F')
(aka pair up and double-sledgehammer)
