Big cube Z/H-perm?

 

[obelisk477]

Any of the {R,U} algs listed here (H) and here (Z).

Thanks

I need a better alg the CLL antisune2 case.

I have these


U' R' U' R U' R' U R' F R F' U R

U' R2 U R U2 L' U R2 U' L

R U2 R' F R' F' R U' R U' R'

But I don't like them so a better one would be great.

I don't think there is an alg that tops the last one you stated (R U2 R' F R' F' R U' R U' R'). How are you doing the F'? I use my right thumb and it's juicy.

What are best non tripod/ZBLL pureflip/twist OLLs?

There's the opposite edge flip and 4-flip ones.

 

[obelisk477]

I think he means corner twists too

EDIT: Like any OLL with the pieces just flipped and twisted in place.

I'm pretty sure he knows that, but those ELLs are probably the best cases that meet my criteria.

I know. The pure 4 flip and opposite 2 flip are good cases.

 

[obelisk477]

Ohhh, I thought you were asking for the best for *each* separate OLL case.

 

[Bindedsa]

Now that I understand your question...I actually like this case, and I can execute it really fast. Its just the f2l edge flip case applied twice. Im sure you could figure it out, but the fingertrick is described here.

I actually already have two better(IMO) algs for this case
r' U' R U' R' U2 x U' L U' L' U2 L
or
R' F' U' F U R F' L' U' L U F

And for the mirror
r U R' U R U2 x' U L' U L U2 L'
Or
F R U R' U' F' U F R U R' U' F'

Hi guys, I searched for the alg I'm looking for, but I couldn't find it, so I'm asking here. I recently started trying to solve the 4x4 with Kenneth's method: http://https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/User:Kenneth:Kenneth%27s_Big_Cubes_Method#ELL_3: which is like k4 in that it is a direct solve. So when I get to the end I use commutators to solve the last layer, but I can't find a good parity alg that will swap ONLY these two pieces and leave everything else I've solved good: All the algs I've found do bad stuff like unorient some corners and move other pieces around. I suppose that's because the alg I would need is very long, but I'd like to at least try it out to see if it's worth it.

Good algs for this 1LLL?

R2 U' R2 U' R' U F' U F U' R' U R2 Doesn't suck.

I can solve a square 1 except for parity. Is there a shorter alg or a way to solve parity without memorizing an algorithm? I don't care how slow it is....

Seconded. However I doubt there is. [emoji17]

For example, on an odd layered cube, you can do r2 U2 *5 and since that is an odd number of turns, it fixes parity. You have to re-solve the cube, but it works. I am sure there is something similar for SQ1!

Exactly! [emoji8]
