Thanks for notifying. Just missed the ' symbol! Silly me!



Doesn't work. Again. Check your solutions.
Yeah from next time I will do it. Thank You :D
 
Your wish is my command!
My cross notation was wrong so f2l got wrong so here is the corrected solve!
Thank you. Some suggestions:

R' U R U y' L' U L
y' R' U' R U' R' U' R
y' L' U' L R U2 R' U' R U R' // U2 L' U L U' R U R' (as you take out the corner you just set up to an easier case)
y' R U2 R' U y L' U' U' L U L F' L' F // U L U2 L2 U' L2 U' L' (avoids rotations and still gives you 2 edges oriented. This one is an alg you have to learn, but it's as easy as insert the pair ignoring the back slot, and then inserting the back slot)
U' f R U R' U' f' / F' r U R' U' r' F R // U2 r U2 R' U' R U' r' (just like an antisune! A very easy OLL to learn)

Ohh! Thank You for you feedback. I didnt know my solves had so much flaws. Thank You for clearing them out. Do I need full OLL for sub 15? I want to get sub 15 ASAP!
 
I'll start with a fresh scramble.

They aren't flaws, they're just bits that could be improved. Think positively! :) You definitely do not need full OLL for sub-15. I'm sub-15 and I only know the 30 or so easy cases; it sounds like a lot but if you can do the sexy move, sledgehammers and the 2-look OLL algs (which I assume you can) you should have no problem getting up to 30 OLLs.
E: using numbers from algdb.net, which I think are the same as the speedsolving wiki, here are some very easy OLLs if you can what I said above:
Red = sexy
Blue = sledgehammer
Green = one of the 2-look OLL algs, or something very similar
There are some cancellations that can be done, but these just show you how easy it is to learn them.
Some cases (like 13) may be a bit harder to learn at first as they get quite far from just sexy/sledge/2LOLL, so learn them last. They're still quite easy though.

10. R U R' U R' F R F' R U2 R' (the sune is split up, but it's still a sune)
11. r U R' U R' F R F' R U2 r' (pretty much the same alg as 10)

21-27 are 2LOLL

Sorry for overloading you with algs :p Don't learn them all at once: make sure you are comfortable with each case before moving on to the next one. Also, don't learn them in order: learn the easy ones first, they are all just as common as each other. Except a few but that isn't important :p Once you've done these you will have learned 40 algs, which is most of OLL.
