How to handle these cases intuitively

 

[JackJ]

For the first one I would do U2 R U R' U' F' U F

 

[maggotcuber]

i would do U'RUR'U y' R'UR for the first case and just mirror it for the other

 

[ilikecubing]

ahh ok i get the idea...thanks alot guys

 

[frogmanson]

Second one: (U2) R' F R F' U2 R U R'
First one: (U2) R U R' F R' F' R

 

[speedcubingmasster96]

1st : (U') R U R' U y' R' U' R or or (U2) R U R' U' y' R' U R or (U2) R U' R' U' y' R' U' R
2nd:Just the same only mirror cases

 

[Hiero]

i would do U'RUR'U y' R'UR for the first case and just mirror it for the other

Mine is similar. U' R U R' d R' U R.

How to handle these cases intuitively

I dunno - I can't see what the next pair is!

 

[avgdi]

It seems like everyone is splitting the pair up first then inserting it. I usually take the pair out first. I'll have to try it the other way.

But here is what I would do:
First: F' U2 F R U' R' U R U R'
Second: R U2 R' y' R' U R U' R' U' R

If you started cubing using LBL you may find that just snapping in the corner F' U' F or R U R' style and then following up by the LBL edge flows quite nicely.

For the 2nd one this would be R U R U R U' R' U' F' U F where I must say my F moves are more y L moves.

Perhaps not very efficient for movecount but very intuitive

 

[BigSams]

Mine is similar. U' R U R' d R' U R.

That's the one I used... until ZZ came around and rocked my world! But I second this for normal F2L.

EDIT: for the 2nd one, I used to use dR'U'Rd'RUR'. But ZZ took care of that too bwahahaha.
{d} moves ftw.

 

[ilikecubing]

these cases as well pl

 

[Cubenovice]

I find that these are nice cases just to learn the alg for.

Intuitive: just kick the pair our and see from there...

 

[Godmil]

Hmmm, never thought about a good way of doing those cases, I'd normally just pop them out and see where to go from there (first one gives a bad case if you do R U R')
Ok for the first one, my best way would probably be y (L' U' L) y' U2 R U R' U (R U' R')
Hmmm, two cube rotations. I'm keen to see what other people would do.

EDIT: Ok, just got this awesome alg from Dan's Cube Station: R U' R' d R' U' R U' R' U' R

Avoid cube rotations with d, d'

EDIT: Ok, just got this awesome alg from Dan's Cube Station: R U' R' d R' U' R U' R' U' R

I do that (intuitively), but I do y' (U) instead of d since I don't use d/d' moves during f2l.

What would u do for a case like this,take out the pair and then insert it OR use an algorithm such as (R U' R') d (R' U R)

and what will you do if such a case is on the B face,will you make a y2 rotation?

I'd take the pair out and preserve it - it may be longer but I'd be less likely to make a mistake!

But the algorithm you gave IS taking out the pair and inserting it >_>
You can try U' R' F R F' R U' R'

 

[ilikecubing]

You can try U' R' F R F' R U' R'

I got that algorithm from the wiki lol,U' R' F R F' R U' R' is good but i try to prevent F moves as much as possible,so i think i will go with taking out the pair and then inserting it.Thanks
