anybody know of a decent f perm when its at this angle? i allready know good algs for the other 3 angles.

If you take this common alg: (y2) R' U2 R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' F
and remove the (d') rotation, it becomes <RUF>:

(y') F' U2 F' U' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' F

Other algs from the (y') angle:

F r2 R' U2 r U' r' U2 (R2 x') U' R' U L2 (U' x')
L2 D R U2 M' U2 x U' r U2 R' F R U2 (x)

F U' F' U F2 R U R' U' F' R' F R F2 (U)
F U' F' U F2 R U R' U' F' U F2 r U r'
F' U R' F' R U' R U R2' F R d R U2 R

@Brest, cool F perms.

I might learn some ZBLL/OLLCP or any other type of hax (useful for 2 handed 3x3 CFOP).
any thread/alg list/method recommendable?

...some list of most easiest to recognize and execute maybe?

 

[TMOY]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any algs they like that orient some corners and some edges simultaneously?

(Lw U Lw' U' Lw U2 Lw' U2)^2, for example, orients 5 corners and 4 edges.

 

[oll+phase+sync]

(Lw U Lw' U' Lw U2 Lw' U2)^2, for example, orients 5 corners and 4 edges.

Replacing Lw with R makes it to a well know CLS, but even if I could orient the last 5 corners and 4 edges, how to continue the solve?

for ollcp, i would HIGHLY reccomend checking out this thread

another thing you might be interested in would be rls or rv

another one thats nice is coll.

thanks brest. i really like F r2 R' U2 r U' r' U2 (R2 x') U' R' U L2 (U' x'), i do it more like this

F r2 R' U2 r U' r' U2 x' R2 U' R' U r2 u'

thanku!

yeah, i saw RV and thought it's cool
i'll... learn both RV and the OLLCPs in the thread
not sure on which to work on first though but tysm

edit: about COLL... i know a couple, might learn more

i think ollcp is worth practising more because its easier to recognise than rv.

although i kinda got lazy with it and have decided to stop using ollcp and just use coll.

Replacing Lw with R makes it to a well know CLS,

Yes I know, I use it for BLD (it's really a nice alg for 3OP corners). I discovered my alg precisely by trying to replace L by Lw in the original alg and seeing what I got.

but even if I could orient the last 5 corners and 4 edges, how to continue the solve?

No idea, I posted this alg only because the OP was curious of such algs.

 

[Schmidt]

For Skewb:
I solve my Skewb by picking a center, insert corners and orient them(on top layer) then I put the bottom center in place which usually solves one of the middle centers also. Then I pick the center that is in the middle (of the remaining three) and put that at the bottom(Up,Up,Down,Down) .This is done four times to complete the centers.
So here is the Alg. Request: Is there an easier way of doing this "U-like perm" (and H and Z also as they might come up sometimes too)

EDIT: Nevermind, I found them here. The picture of the Z is off by a y or y'.

OH right handed

sorry if there another thread like this but i can't see any, so for those who use right hand for OH, what algs do you use?

 

[blakedacuber]

just mirror the algs in the OH algs thread?

 

[Noahaha]

Sorry if it's been asked before, but does anyone know a 4x4 OLL parity alg for Petrus that is shorter but can affect the F and U faces?

 

[ketchuphater999]

you know the clockwise edge rotation(R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R'), and you know that it rotates just the edges without doing anything to any other piece on the cube. I want to know if there is an easier/shorter algorithm that rotates the edges and the corners won't be the way they were?

Sune: R U R' U R U2 R'
Or did you want to preserve corner orientation?

 

[ottozing]

anybody know of a g perm for this auf?

(l R) U2 R' F2 R' r U' r' F2 R F U2 l'

L2 u L' U L' U' L u' L2 (y') L' U L

(z) U2 r U' R U' R' U r' U2 (y x) R' U R

r2 U (x' y) U' R U' R' U r' (y) U2 R' F R (x)

yeah I want to preserve the orientation of all the pieces but the permutation of the last layer doesn't matter to me(as long as the edges are rotated the way that I want them to, of course)

Well, I would use J-perm: R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R'. I find it faster than U-perm.
You can use any PLL which cycles 3 edges (a PLL which swaps 2 corners and 2 edges can be AUF'd into an edge 3-cycle PLL).

Does anyoe have a short squar 1 partity alg that works and isn't (5,2) and for example 2 you can only do 3
