The "Request an Alg" Thread

[Thom S.]

Are there edges only pll algs with no M moves like the H perm?

M2 U' M2 U' M' U2 M2 U2 M' for Z
As stated There are the wide U Perms (I used them for specific angles) they require a regrip anyway so you can just as well use the RUS ones

 

[PapaSmurf]

Just get better at M. It's faster to be able to do both (see: good Rouxers doing LSE). This Z perm (M2 U2 M U M2 U M2 U M) is by far the best one I've come across the whole time I've been cubing and it has M moves.

Any good regripless and rotationless alg for UF-DB-LF-RU-FR?

(Non-bld peeps can also give their algs for this case. This case has been bugging me for a while.)

 

[Eli Apperson]

Anyone have any good algs for the 3 pure edge flip ELL cases?

 

[xyzzy]

Anyone have any good algs for the 3 pure edge flip ELL cases?

Yes, but have you looked on e.g. SCDB?

The ones I use:

Adjacent:
r U R' U' r' U2 R U R U' R2 U2 R
R U R' U' r' U2 R U R U' R2 U2 r (different angle)

Opposite:
M' U2 M U R' F' R S R' F R S' (2H)
R u R U R' U' u' R2 U2 R U' R' U' R (OH)
R U' R' F U R2 U' R' F' R' U' R U R U R2 (big)

Dot:
M' U2 M U2 M' U M U2 M' U2 M (2H)
S R' U' R U R U R U R2 U2 R2 U2 R S' (OH)
R2 F2 R2 U2 M' U' M U2 R2 F2 R2 (big)

(The algs for adj and the RUu and RUF algs for opp above are centre-safe. The rest are not centre-safe.)

Is there a better V perm for me? I use the one with the y rotation and it kinda sucks.

There’s an RUD one, I’ll find it for you later

This is the best I've found. It wasn't an exhaustive search, but it was a search.

I would like to move only center pieces on a 4x4x4. Can someone assist in providing an algorithm set?
Example 1: I'd like to move a front top center piece with the piece on the opposite side
Example 2: I'd like to move a front top right piece with the piece on the opposite side
Example 3: ... Center piece only
Example 4: ... A full bar of 3 pieces
*Also move to adjacent sides.

There algorithms should only move the centers and not any side pieces.

Thank You!

Ahhh thanks, F M F' is generally hard to do without regrips, can you suggest an alt?

 

[PapaSmurf]

Not really, the case just seems to be pretty bad overall.

I need some Good Ja Perm algs.

 

[Cubing Forever]

I need some Good Ja Perm algs.

1) x R2 F R F' R U2 r' U r U2
2) r R2 F R F' R U2 r' U r U2 r' (I use this personally)
3) L' U' L F L' U' L U L F' L2 U L
4) R' U L' U2 R U' R' U2 R r
5)M' R' F R F' R U2 r' U r U2 r'

pick one of these

 

[PapaSmurf]

And pick the first one.

 

[Cubing Forever]

And pick the first one.

I don't see what's wrong with the other 4(except for the RUL) tho.

 

[PapaSmurf]

1 is just 2 and 5 written with fewer moves (I'd rank them as 1>5>2 as at least you can do the M' R' at the same time). Tbf, 3 is also a good shout if you're good at lefty turining. 4 is meh. I know some people are really fast with it, but I think all the fast turners use 1.

G perms are horrible and i have finished learning Gb and Gd. But i still need help for Ga and Gc. Do any of you have good algs?

 

[Cubing Forever]

G perms are horrible and i have finished learning Gb and Gd. But i still need help for Ga and Gc. Do any of you have good algs?

Ga: R2 U R' U R' U' R U' R2 U' D R' U R D'
Gc: R2 u' R U' R U R' u R2 f R' f' or mirror Ga

G perms aren't bad...you need to practice them a lot. Gc is one of my favourite and fastest PLLs(at 1.3 "stackmatted").

 

[tsmosher]

G perms are horrible and i have finished learning Gb and Gd. But i still need help for Ga and Gc. Do any of you have good algs?

Might help to know what you are using for Gb and Gd. Anyway, here's what I use (both <RUD>):

Ga:
R2 U R' U R' U' R U' R2 D U' R' U R D'

Gc:
D R2 U' R U' R U R' U R2 D' U R U' R'

Other Gc perms:
R2 u' R U' R U R' u R2 f R' f' (if you don't mind the wide moves)
(U2) R2' F2 R U2 R U2 R' F R U R' U' R' F R2 (this one is slower but is so fun to execute)
