The "Request an Alg" Thread

[cityzach]

I need some good algs for the last two edges on big cubes.

Does anyone have shorter 2x2 PLL algorithms than the ones I am currently using?

They are:

Opposite cubies permutation: R U2 R' U' R U2 L' U R' U' L
Diagonal cubies permutation: R U' R' U' F2 U' R U R' D R2

Thanks.

I need new N-Prems.

Suggestions would be appreciated

I use
R U R' U (R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R') U2 R U' R', the bracketed alg is J-perm;
R' U R U' R' F' U' F R U R' F R' F' R U' R, an alg I found on the wiki not so long ago, and switched because I didn't like the z/z' rotation in my old RUD alg. It flows decent too. Can sub-1.5 I think, not that that's fast, but decent I suppose.

z D' R U' R2' D R' (U D') R U' R2' D R' U R

F2L case #6 on Wiki?

Guys, while I'm working on my Intuitive F2L I've picked an alg for each case on SS Wiki since fingertricks seem to come easily for these but for case (6) I can't decide between

d(R'U'R)U2'(R'UR){doesn't flow well for me},

y'(UR'U'R)U2(R'UR){Flows well but a cube rotation}

U'(rU'R'U)(RUr'){Flows really fast using left index finger for last U like Teller West. Only worry is lookahead(Started working on that)}

Which one would you choose & why?

Any other algs for case 6?

 

[Rpotts]

I use all of those algs, the first two are the same, just with a d or y' U at the beginning. The 3rd is also really good and rotationless, which is nice. If I had to pick one I'd go for the third, but I rotate often during f2l so I end up using the first two probably about as often.

Thanks Rpotts, do you use strictly SS wiki algs, Intuitive F2L or a combination of both?

Well, all of the algs on the wiki are intuitive, so I guess both. Paraphrasing Kirjava, "any F2L algs you learn will eventually become intuitive, and all intuitive cases will eventually feel algorithmic."

Here's a thread on F2L help that has some discussion about some of the harder cases. I liked it a while ago, pretty good for a generic "Halp! F2L!" thread, imo.

Thanks again Rpotts, last question, until I get my Intuitive down I have a favorite alg for each case plus mirror if one is listed, is this enough or should I be looking at all the algs for all the F2L cases?(The help link was great too!)

An alg for switching 2 edges on the prof pyraminx

 

[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?

Bump.

lol ottozing you already know the y2 Y-Perm

I can't get the links to work

 

[4EverCuber]

Try again? I forgot to change the privacy settings of the pictures.

Still not working. Could you just upload them here? Or if you really can't do that, you could try describing the cases. Have you looked around the wiki and maybe a few other sites for some algs?
