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

 

[y235]

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

That's the one I use, I hoped for something faster

M U L F' L' U' M' ?

It doesn't preserve the orientation

Another alternative I got from a friend, very similar to the last one TDM posted:

R' F R2 U' R2' F R

I swear thats an EG1 alg... oh wait it is nvm lol im dumb

 

[Hssandwich]

F' L U2 F2 R U' x'

R' D' R U' R' D R U R U' R'

R' D' R U' R' D R U R U' R'

Damn that's good.

Damn that's good.

U2 + inverse works too and starts with sexy: U2 (R U R' U') R' D' R U R' D R

R U' R' U R' D' R U R' D R is also pretty nice.

Is there an algorithm for OLL parity and PLL parity at the same time?

What I mean is that if you have an OLL parity on 4x4, instead of solving it to continue to the PLL stage and see if you have a PLL parity as well. If so instead of doing two algs just have one that would flip edge pieces as well as switch places with the opposite side edge pieces.

Yes. The two most common algs are:
Rw2' F2 Rw U2 Rw U2' x U2 Rw U2' Rw' U2 Rw U2' Rw2 U2' x' [U2]
and its front/back mirror.

You can do r instead of Rw to preserve corners and swap two edges instead.

I use U' R' U2 R' U R' U' R U2 R

 

[SpeedCubeReview]

Yes. The two most common algs are:
Rw2' F2 Rw U2 Rw U2' x U2 Rw U2' Rw' U2 Rw U2' Rw2 U2' x' [U2]

U2' ?

 

[obelisk477]

U2' ?

For fingertrick purposes. You'll notice that the first Rw2' has a ' as well, indicating the direction of the double turn

I need an F-perm that's easy to memorize. That's it.

(R' U' F') T Perm (F U R)
lol

 

[YouCubing]

(R' U' F') T Perm (F U R)
lol

It's that easy?
Ok, I tried it. 12/21 PLLs!

Don't forget you can cancel the last F move!
