What's Your Favorite Algorithm?

[fanwuq]

Agh, there's no way I would be able to pick just 1 favourite algorithm. I like H, A, T, and Z, all for their speed. Oh, and don't forget the Sunes (Sune, anti-Sune, Double Sune, Triple Sune), my execution speeds for these are insane, I'm not sure if there's anyone faster than me O.o (sub-0.5 avg for sune[ 0.35 pb ], sub-0.7 avg for anti-sune, sub 0.9 double sune, sub 1.2 triple sune). My favourite trigger would have to be my trademark R' U2 R trigger. (I'll make a video of these soon)

0.35 second sune? That is crazy! I can do that at 1.29 seconds 3x3 loose diy, and 1.23 seconds pyraminx.

My Fastest alg is an R2 alg....

R2

 

[Feanaro]

My favorite algorithm by far is the Z. I'll just pick up my cube and do that one over and over. A close second is R' U R' U' R' U' R' U R U R2 and R2 U' R' U' R U R U R U' R.

3x3x3 PB: 18.22 sec.
3x3x3 OH: 1:17
3x3x3 BLND: 2:55
2x2x2 PB: 7.35
4x4x4 PB: 2:30

I would agree with you a few month ago, noob. But Using algorithm does make more sense to me now. It is specific to get a certain task done.

So you must be using this word 3000 times a day, when you walk, speak, scratch you nose, look for the remote controler, etc.
Most people weren't using this word before they started cubing.
And in mathematics, you don't label "algorithm" anything you want, like a path in a graph that gives a solution to a problem.

This alg is just fun: R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2

True, one of my favourite OLL algos. Got this algo from the OLL compilation thread.

This alg is just fun: R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2

True, one of my favourite OLL algos. Got this algo from the OLL compilation thread.

Really? I much prefer R' F' L' F R F' L F for that OLL case. And it works well with it's partner for the 'T' OLLC case (R' F' L F R F' L' F).

 

[fanwuq]

one of my favorite too, except I do l'U'L'URU'LUx' same as R' F' L' F R F' L F.

or I do the beginning of the E perm. x U R' U' L U R U' r' from x2

 

[ROOT]

well i love M moves, and im in the process of switching to roux, roux rocks if you love m moves.

 

[coopersacatfilms]

Perms T,Y, and H

I don't use it in speedsolves, that's why I said it was just fun.

 

[Enkidu]

R U R' U R U2 R' Then U' Then the R' U' R U' R' U2 R

My 2 Fav's.

 

[FU]

I don't use it in speedsolves, that's why I said it was just fun.

Why not? It's fast... I just timed myself and got lots of 1.3x, 1.19 best

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

I got 1.15 with that, but I got 0.88 with x R' U R D' R' U' R D.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

F2l algorithm: U' R U' R' U2 R U' R'
R U R' U2 R U R' U To set up.

 

[FU]

I got 1.15 with that, but I got 0.88 with x R' U R D' R' U' R D.

Surely the one without a cube rotation gives a better lookahead for PLL

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

My favorite algorithm is probably a some 2x2x2 alg.

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

I got 1.15 with that, but I got 0.88 with x R' U R D' R' U' R D.

Surely the one without a cube rotation gives a better lookahead for PLL

Well I kinda execute it as: l' U R D' R' U' l B
Look ahead for PLL is pretty good.

 

[jtjogobonito]

M' U' M this is one of the F2ELLs for my method, and by far the fastest.

 

[ShawnCunningham]

T-perm and sune.

 

[LarsN]

Orient four edges in step 2 of my orient first method:

M' U M'

The fastest of all
