Hey does anybody have this oll with no D moves

This is really bad, but R' F2 R U2 R U2 R' F2 R U2 R' F2

Learn the algorithms with D moves, there's absolutely no reason not to. Unless you're missing fingers but I can't see that from your pictures.

All the algorithms without D moves are too long or cumbersome unfortunately - there's no simple substitute. You'll have to stomach it and put some fingertrick practice in.

Here is a 2 gen alg that I use.
R' U' R U' R' U2 R2 U R' U R U2 R'
It's just backsune+sune with a cancellation in between
Keep the headlights on the back.

Just learn the one with D moves, if you are having trouble it is good to practice your D moves because they are used in a lot of algs and cross, and can even pop up in F2L. However if you really want an alg without D moves, you can look into the COLL algs for that case because some of those algs don’t have D moves

Why the hate for D moves? Learn to turn properly. RUD is a good move set.

Yes you can learn this without d moves but it is significantly slower. You'll be doing 4 extra moves or more.

 

[Graaaby]

ok ill try one with d moves

Only 1 extra move:
R' U2 R F U' R' U' R U F'

 

[Skewb_Cube]

You should start getting used to do D moves, because lots of algs from either OLL or PLL have D moves, which those D moves are part from lots of the standard algs. For example, there's the E perm, G perms, Ra perm, A perms, etc. And also when doing the cross, lots of times people use D moves.

Edit: And also don't make a whole new thread for just asking for 1 algorithm of 2 Look OLL. You can easily do some research through the forums, jperm.net, cubeskills.com, etc, to avoid doing a new thread.

If you put a prime on the R2, why not on the U2s? Clearly double flicking that with the left hand is way better than the right.

For the OP: Really just learn the one with D moves, it's an important skill to learn

 

[PapaSmurf]

Learn the one with D moves. They are super important. Also there's a request an alg thread which you should use for later requests.

Yes. I was kind of in a rush when I wrote this though, so I didn't bother with the U2's.

<insert mandatory "You should use the RUD algs because they are the actual best and 0 competent people disagree.">

alternatives:
sune+backsune is nice
R U R' U R' U2 R2 U R2 U R2 U' R' and it's F/B mirror is also pretty okay but IMO it requires eidos to be good
R U R' U' R U' R' U2 R U' R' U2 R U R' is okay too

and for pure U (which is not the same as a U OCLL), I like:
antisune U2 backantisune is probably best
R U2(') R U2' R' U' R U' R' U2 R' U2' R U R' is something I found that I like
the first U2(') depends on if you regrip right thumb to D. For me, that feels faster as a raw execution of the alg, but it also requires a regrip.

<insert mandatory "These are good algs for the 2GLL cases that they solve but they absolutely pale in comparison to the RUD alg. Just learn D moves.">

what about for OH? Then RU alg is easier?

Here is a 2 gen alg that I use.

Is this a good alg?

Is this a good alg?

I use finger drag for the U and eido U2 for the alg
R' U' R U' R' U2 R2 U R' U R U2 R'

 

[GAN CUBER]

can someone tell me a short v perm alg thanks

 

[xyzzy]

can someone tell me a short v perm alg thanks

The shortest is 14 moves. You can't get any shorter than that.

The R' U R' d' alg (which used to be the standard alg) is exactly 14 moves. The RUD algs that seem more popular these days are a bit longer (16 moves).

 

[Cubing Forever]

can someone tell me a short v perm alg thanks

What about this one ?
R2 U F2 U' F2 R' D R' D' R U' R' U R (14 HTM, 17 QTM)
Almost (RUD)

Reading a lot of info here thank you!
