yellow top, blue front: L' B' 2L' U2 2L' U2 F2 2L' F2 2R U2 2R' U2 2L2 B L

should work

that's a good one, much shorter than what i had

Some pages with 4x4x4 last layer algs:

or just do reduction

Is there a faster way to solve OLL parity on the 4x4?

The alg I use is:
MR2 B2 U2 ML U2 MR’ U2 MR U2 F2 MR F2 ML’ B2 MR2

Choose the alg you like best, I use the third one

So I switched my v perm to the pseudo 2 gen one, and I was wondering if there is a way to do that for all plls? (Other than adding a ton of rotations to the standard alg)

No

(Other than adding a ton of rotations to the standard alg)

Unless this

No

Ha thanks

looking for a fast alg that does this U' F D R' F' R U F D' F2 L F if anyone for some reason ahppens to have one, so i dont have to go trough cubexplorer's

u' x U L' U2 R U' R' U2 L R U' R' F x' y

Checking all the different algs in the videos I came up with a question I have been pondering for some time but never really asked here. Do you know if there are people capable of identifying PLL parity before executing OLL parity so that they can use one OLL parity alg or other and completely avoid PLL parity later on?

I doubt it's worth it, and I don't know anyone who does that.

I'm looking for an alg that flips the UF and BD edges. (because setupping with B2 or D' R2 sucks)

what about setting up with U2 or D2 xd (U2)

[F U' R F' U, M2]

I created one from the standard DF UR flip : M' U M' U M' U M' U M U M' U M' U M' U M2
Put simply : (M' U)4 M U (M' U)3 M2

Here are some <M,U> algs with only M' and M2' moves

U' M' U M' U M' U2 M' U M' U M' U M2' U2
and mirror
U M' U' M' U' M' U2' M' U' M' U' M' U' M2' U2'

U' M' U M2' U M' U M' U M' U2 M' U M' U2
and mirror
U M' U' M2' U' M' U' M' U' M' U2' M' U' M' U2'

I use (M U (M' U)3)2. (Which is just an M2 conjugate of the one you posted.)

 

[Nameless]

(M' U)4 M U (M' U)3 M2

I use (M U (M' U)3)2.

U' M' U M' U M' U2 M' U M' U M' U M2' U2

I will race these three algs. Thank you !

Well, while I'm at it...

I'm looking for two <RU> algs that twist UBL and DFR.
For the moment I use :
• R U R U2 R' L' U' L U' L' U2 L R U R2 to turn DFR clockwise
• R2 U' R' L' U2 L U L' U L R U2 R' U' R' to turn DFR counter-clockwise
There should be more efficient algorithms for this.
