Any good algs for UF-LB-FR-LF-BD edge case?

 

[Cuber Mao]

You can find them here:

CLL+1: An Advanced LL Method (Complete and fully generated!)

CLL+1 COLL+1 Around 10 years ago Thom Barlow (Kirjava) was talking about a new LL method. The idea is to solve CLL and a single edge in one algorithm. The second step would then just be an edge 3-cycle. For cross->F2l this means all that’s left is L3E. For ZZ or Petrus, this means all that’s...

You can send me your email in a private message. I'll send you Excel versions. I tried to attach the Excel files to this post but the files are too large.

Does someone have a better alg for ZBLL As 7?
the best ones I've found so far are:
U2 R' U2 R U R' U' R U R' U' R' D' r U2 r' D R2
(U) R' U' R2 U' R2 U2 R2 U R' (U2) (R' F' R U R U' R' F)

Want help to choose a main alg for ZBLL As 17
Which algorithm do you prefer?

R U R' U R' U' R2 U' R D' R U2 R' D R2
R U2 R2 U' R U R U2 R2 F R U R' U' R' F' R2
F (R U R' U')(R U R' U') R U R2 U l D’ x R' U R
U2 (R' U2 R U R' U R) U' (L' R U R' U' L) (U2 R U2 R')

I'm on my last case for the As ZZLL's and I have found 4 great algs but I want some opinions on which one is the best for speedsolving.

Third one doesn't work

The second one is the best one in my opinion, it's short and regripless (If you fingertrick it correctly)
Maybe the first one can be better though with just one regrip but slightly shorter

 

[Lazy Einstein]

My alg is:
R U R' U' R U' R' F' R U R' U R U' R' U' R' F R

May end up switching to Teri's
R2 D' R U2 R' D R U' L U' R U L'

It's 6 move shorter but is 4 gen, has HTM, and L/R hand regrip.

Depends all on drilled times

 

[N's-cvt]

My bad about the third one it actually is R U R2 U' l D'

Does someone have a better RUF algorithm for ZBLL Pi 43?

 

[Swamp347]

Does anyone have good alg for the devils alg?

 

[AlgoCuber]

My bad about the third one it actually is R U R2 U' l D'

OK then, I made this variant of the alg that does the same thing:
F (R U R' U') (R U R' U') R U R2' U' R F' R' U R
Regripless (starting from home grip), and is really fast (easy fingertricks)!
Final U can be performed with a right hand drag or a left hand fingertrick, I prefer the right hand drag though

Best ZBLL 17 alg IMO

R' F R f' R' F R2 U R' U' R' F' R U R' S or R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' U R for F perm?
I like the execution of the first one but I'm more consistent on the second one, everybody keeps telling me to switch but I don't know if I should.

R' F R f' R' F R2 U R' U' R' F' R U R' S or R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' U R for F perm?
I like the execution of the first one but I'm more consistent on the second one, everybody keeps telling me to switch but I don't know if I should.

use whatever alg you want but for me second one is faster than the first (0.95 vs 1.1)

 

[Lazy Einstein]

R' F R f' R' F R2 U R' U' R' F' R U R' S or R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' U R for F perm?
I like the execution of the first one but I'm more consistent on the second one, everybody keeps telling me to switch but I don't know if I should.

The thing about people telling you "X alg is better than Y" is just silly. Each individual cuber has different strengths/weaknesses. If this were simply able to be overcome by practice, all world-class solvers would use the exact same algs. People have different genetics. Different hand sizes, finger movement capabilities, etc.

For the L perm(Ja), I almost double the speed with the LUF alg compared to the LUR or xRUF algs. Yet, I have seen all 3 sub-0.7'd.

Only the fools in cubing stand by a single alg for all cases and passive-aggressively push them onto everyone else.

Drill the 1st for like a week or two. If you can't do it faster, don't switch. Often there can be 1-3 "OO" algs for a case. You really need to assess the finger tricks, alg riskiness, and then your personal preference. As you increase your skills, you can always reassess your algs as you get better.
Just drill, time, pick what works for you, reassess later if you are not at world-class skill yet.

Does someone have a better RUF algorithm for ZBLL Pi 43?

There's no canonical numbering for the ZBLL cases. (Until somewhat recently, SCDB's ZBLL numbering actually had gaps and duplicates in it; I think I reported most of those and they should be fixed now.) If you want us to know which case you're referring to, show us a picture or provide an alg.

 

[Cubing Forever]

I think @N's-cvt is referring to this

Alright, I will do that for future requests.

Yep, that's the case I was talking about.

R U R' U2 F' U F R U' R2 F R2 U R' U' F'
Short, regripless, and fast

From AlgDB, also a great source of algs

 

[PapaSmurf]

This has pretty good ZBLLs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...TBHXPPjZF9k55x8YJgXXs5nhCs/edit#gid=734298135
The fingertricks are kinda funky, but for the most part the algs are good (on average, better than any other sheet). Would recommend this for 2GLL though: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...y3cu8SWtP0gJ0iCtZ5w2yze2SQ/edit#gid=732494515

 

[Llewelys]

Does any one know an Rb perm with headlights on left that doesn't start with a regrip?
I use R2' F R U R U' R' F' R U2' R' U2 R but I'd like a regripless one from start to finish

 

[PapaSmurf]

One probably exists, but as a general alt there's this RUD one: R' U R U R' U' R' D' R U R' D R U2 R
It's one of the few cases where a regrip is better than not.
