the worst algorithm you know

[KingOfThePanda]

R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2

This has to be pretty bad, I learned it 10 years ago when I first learned how to solve the cube. It may just be the way I do it but the gripping just feels awkward.

The ironic thing is that is the main A perm, just with cube rotations

I use cmlls for 2x2 cll:
R U' R' U R' D' R U' R' D R

That is one of the best PLLs actually. A better way to execute it is to do an x rotation and do R' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 R2

Ab Perm:

do J perm with all wide moves 5! times...

 

[RedstoneTim]

When I started cubing, I learned PLL from the same person I had learned beginner's method from. Those are some of the algs I used:

Ga: L2 u L' U L' U' L u' L2 B' U B
E: x U R' U' L U R U' r2 U' R U L U' R' U (still use a variant of this for OH)
Nb: F' U' F L' U' L F L' U' L U L F' L2 U L U F' U F
V: R' U R' U' x2 y' R' U R' U' R2 x' U' R' U R U

an old ab perm with 5 jb perms ( R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U R U) (( I forgot the notations, wow)

wait that just lead to another Jb, use mine, wide Jb five times.

Those are really bad algs, I don't know why they would teach you those.

The focus was probably on movecount and <RU(L)>-gen turning since the video is a few years old (which it already was when I started cubing). Looking back at the tutorial, I probably came up with the Nb perm myself (probably got the idea to conjugate a J perm from some other video and thought my setup move would be better, which is obviously not the case) and didn't rotate for the G perm because I thought that rotations were really bad (which they are not).

worst n perms
Na: R U R' U R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U2 R U' R'
Nb: R' U R U' R' F' U' F R U R' F R' F' R U' R

if anybody disagrees with this then you really need to see my n perm algs.

What are your N Perm algorithms?

An alg I made up that does an H perm on U and D:
R2 (U D') R2 (U' D) R2 (U2 D2) R2 (U' D) R2 (U D') R2

There's no reason to use that instead of M2 U2 M2 y M2 U2 M2

How do you do that Na regripless?

How do you do that Na regripless?

First F' with right thumb, second F move with ring (like a D push), rest is pretty straightforward.

Na: F' R U R' U' R' F R2 F U' R' U' R U F' R'
Nb: r' D' F r U' r' F' D r2 U r' U' r' F r F'

The inverse of this Na alg might be better because you don't have this small grip change at the beginning.

That feels really awkward, especially compared to the Jperm setup

You'll get used to it if you drill it. I could barely sub2 it but now I can do it <1.3s consistently. Some can do it sub1 as well.
