What set of OLL algs should I learn first? ( and PLL )

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Hey guys, I have so far learned the all edges oriented and t shape OLLs, and I have learned U, H, Z, A, E, J, T, Y, and N perms. Which algs should I learn next?

Finish PLL then you're fine till sub-20 then you can learn the rest of OLL.

Here's the thing - my average is already 22, and I have a really good amount of sub -20s in my average

i learned the cross olls before i learned full pll, its pretty easy to remember!

I guess another question is, how do you tell G-perms apart from each other?

Thanks!

Evan if you're nearly sub-20 there's probably more to watch on then just OLL so you should work on other things.

There is a list of OLL that are really easy to learn. I would start with them.
Squares are also easy, because it's just a wide antisune.

Some of the dot cases are hard to learn, but they save you an additional step in 2 look oll.


For the G-Perm, if you put the headlights to the left, you can use the same alg for all 4 G-Perms. Just inverse it or mirror it.
If the block is up (Gc) or down (Ga) , you start the alg in this direction, if the block is on the backside, you do the inverse alg, starting it into the direction of the gap besides the block.

Ga (block down) -> (R'2 U R' U R' ) (U' R U' R2) (D U' R') (U R D') <- Gd (block right down)
Gc (block up) -> (R2 U' R U' R ) (U R' U R'2) (D' U R) (U' R' D) <- Gb (block right up)

It's hard to explain but if you understand what I mean it's really easy to remember. Just count the number of moves you have to to in the direction of the block and when to change the move direction on each layer.

Besides the easy OLL cases I would concentrate on learning full PLL first, including the harder ones like G-Perm.

Thanks so much for the help!

Try to avoid N perms while doing OLL

Learn full PLL and become fully comfortable with it. After that you can learn OLL if you want, or you can wait until you’re faster (it’s totally up to you)
