The Awkward Case Thread

[soldii3runit]

what algs are you using?

Nb {(R' U L') U2 (R U' L)} {(R' U L') U2 (R U' L)} U'

I follow the yellow pieces. its one short alg repeated.

Na - R U R' U (R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R') U2 R U' R'

J perm with a couple extra beginning and F2L insert at the end

 

[JasonK]

have u tried the mirror of the right R Perm? for the left R Perm

Yeah, I use that or R U' R' U' R U R D R' U' R D' R' U2 R' depending on AUF. I can do them both in 1.5x, which isn't too bad, I just hate performing them...

That OLL.
I always forget that alg. In fact, I think I might go learn a new alg now. I use the R U2 R2 U' R U' R' U2 F R F' atm, but it stinks.

Lefty R-Perm still torments me...I do the RUD one but it's not good for me. And I have a "wacky" one I do, but it's not fast enough. Sigh...

What's the alg?

 

[Sa967St]

E, Na, Nb, Gc.

 

[teller]

What's the alg?

R U2 R2' U R' (U' D) R' U' R D' R' (U2 R' U R')

Na - R U R' U (R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R') U2 R U' R'

J perm with a couple extra beginning and F2L insert at the end

your nb is the exact same as mine except i start with a z rotation. as for the second alg, its only good if you have extremely high tps on the j perm part (which i dont )

R U2 R2' U R' (U' D) R' U' R D' R' (U2 R' U R')

you have some seriously cool pll algs. you should make a pll video some time soon

 

[Robert-Y]

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

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

The reason I dislike these algs is because I find the z + regrip too time consuming. I prefer the standard <LUR> or <LUF> algs.

yeah the regrip is a pain, but after that they're pretty fast algs.

N-perms unless I'm doing one handed

 

[ottozing]

another case i hate is the f2l case where the corner is above its slot with the cross colour on top and the edge is attached in the UR position and the FRU colour matches the RU edge colour.

R perms one handed

OMG! That is also my worst case ever! I can never remember the alg for it, it's actually the same as yours there.

I like F U' R2 D' R' U2 R D R2' U F'. I've got a nice execution for my Ra on one of my Youtube alg vids. I've also switched to a fun alg for one of my N perms, been meaning to make a vid of it. I've not practiced enough to get it fast yet, but I'm sure it can be.

Edit:

Most of the ZZLL's I learned feel to me like it would be faster to do OCLL+PLL.

 

[Yuxuibbs]

For the people that hate N perms:
R U R' U J Perm re-insert f2l pair
L' U' L U other J perm re-insert f2l pair
I don't like L turns but it's better than a lot of the other algs I found.

 

[aznanimedude]

i used to hate N perms, youtube made me like them =D
although i guess i like them the least out of all the PLLs

i also don't like the Anti-sune COLL where one diagonal is the same color and the other is opposite color, it just strikes me as i don't like it for some reason o.O

R perms one handed

Try these.

 

[cityzach]

i dislike Na, but i love Nb.

I HATE Z perms though.

The awkward case when you know J-Perm, then L-Perm comes up in a solve and you do J-perm, resulting in a solved side being shown... You slam the timer, but still have an edge cycle to go.
