(y) (R’ F R U) (R U' R2' F') R2 U' R' (U R U R')

is supposed to be fast
That one is called the Collin Burns oll 55, it's decent but it's slower than R' F U R U' R2' F' R2U R' U' R (the one that @fun at the joy posted) and also the Collin Burns one doesn't let you avoid diag PLL whereas with R' F U R U' R2' F' R2U R' U' R you can avoid diag by doing it from the U2 angle

How would you finger trick that?
 
I've been trying to find an alg for v perm I like, so I found two different algs, this one, "R' U R' U' R D' R' D R' U D' R2 U' R2 D R2" but I don't really like all of the D moves, the second one, "R' U R' U' y R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R F" is shorter, but I don't really like the rotation in the middle of it. Any suggestions on which ones better?

I used the second one, but avoid the rotation with a d' instead of the U' y:

R' U R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R F
 
I use the second one but with F moves (and i have some cool fingertricks shown in the video, put it at 0.25x speed)

 
Do you guys know a good alg for this case?

I currently do L' U2 L R U' R' U F' r U r' but it's quite slow.

edit: R U' R' F U F' U L' U' L seems better, but it still isn't great. I'd like a solution that is 3-gen and is still fast

Just do another case

Edit: Why are you *eye roll emoji*ing me lmao, I'm right
A big part of going from beginner F2L to a more advanced version is pair prioritization : you don't do the first thing you see, if what you see is a bad case

Here's the order of good to bad cases:
1. both pieces separated in the U layer
2. both pieces attached in the U layer
3. one piece in a slot and one in the U layer
4. both pieces in a slot (at least one of them misoriented)
5. both pieces in different slots

There's a bit of fluctuation of course, some cases from a category may be better than some cases in a better category, but this is a general rule.

So the case you're showing is definitely one of the bad cases.
The alg @Coneman gave is a good one: short, easy to fingertrick, doesn't hinder look ahead (preserves a P shape and more)
BUT it's such a niche case that you won't get to practise it at all during solves. If you get that case again (maybe 200 solves later?), you won't remember the alg quite exactly and you'll choke. You won't have practiced it enough for it to be worth it
In thousands of solves I had to deal with that case maybe once or twice, because I was on last 2 pairs and both pairs were inserted wrong in the last 2 slots.
If you watch example solves / reconstructions from the best cubers, they never deal with that case. They just choose a better pair instead.

TLDR; pair prioritization is a thing

The RUSPOP alg is better.
@Owen Morrison if you had done F R U’ R’ U’ R U R’ F’, it would have been a Jb perm with no AUF, which IMO, is better than a U perm. Plus, the U perm is where you locked up, so it may have prevented that. The one issue with that U perm alg is that you didn’t use the RUS-POP one that you used on your stream the other day.
Well I recognized the OLLCP for that case which is why I did the alg I did instead of that other one.

You know what's better than both RU and MU? RUS
