Your own personal algs

[Bindedsa]

No I found r U R' U' r' F2 R2 U' R' U' R U2 R' U' F2 though, if that's what you meant.

It was you, I'm guessing if you forgot you don't use it?

 

[ottozing]

Oh, I read your alg wrong. I thought it was r U R' U' M U R U' R' cancelled into T perm, haha

Yeah, I was probably the first to find that, and I do indeed use it.

 

[Robert-Y]

Huh, I could've sworn you were the guy who found the alg that bindedsa mentioned too...

I have way too many algorithms to list so I'll just share one which I think is really cool.

Setup: R' U2 R U2 R U2 R' U' R U' R2' U2 R

What do you notice about this case? It almost looks like a regular sune. But if you did a sune, you would end up with a U perm. This tells you that the edges have been cycled in the wrong direction. But you can change this.

1. Simply swap UBL and UBR, and UB and UF by doing R' U2 R. So now we have effectively transformed the case into a sune.

2. Do a sune: R U R' U R U2 R' U2

3 Undo the setup moves R' U2 R and you're done.

The whole alg becomes R' U2 R2 U R' U R U2 R' U2 R' U2 R.


I hope you've enjoyed reading this and learning this algorithm

I also found R' U2 R2 U R U' R' U R U R2 U' R', for the same case. It's just cancelling the Antisune into an OH Z perm, yours might be better, but I'm too lazy to switch.

I'm probably the only one who does partial edge control with the split pair case (not very often though. I sometimes just can't get over my muscle memory and do the alg)

EDIT: and I found the alg by myself. Sadly it wasn't unique.

do you mean doing: M R U' R' U M', If so I also use that for OH. Only when the pair is misoriented though.

Yes that alg. I also sometimes use it to orient all edges on LL. The edge case is easy to recognise.

That's the only time I use it.

 

[guysensei1]

You don't use it to avoid dot cases?

 

[Bindedsa]

You don't use it to avoid dot cases?

I would rotate and use
R' D' r U' r' D R2 U R
or for TH where I don't orient edges every solve I use
U2 r U' r' U' r U r'

I found this F2L on my own: R'2 F R F' R and called it the "super sledge". Which also led me to R' U R' F R F' R. And l R U' R' U l'. And all lefthand mirrors.

Then of course it turned out to be pretty common. Especially that 2nd one, which Jayden McNeill had in one of his F2L vids. Chris Olson showed off the inverse of it in a recent video: R' F R' F' R U' R

I still haven't seen the "super sledge" in any tutorials. But the mirror l2 F' l' U l' is on the wiki.


Edit: Chris DID show super sledge in the same F2L vid, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIFh0sXDkMM

Dang. Wish I had seen that second one before. That's nice.

I'm pretty sure I showed off super sledge in my video.

 

[sneaklyfox]

Too lazy to type. Thanks to Ranzha for a better alg.
anyway
W OLL - R' F' U' F2 U R U' R' F' R

Ooh, I like this. I'm going to use it.

Aaaaaah... just watched it again, and yes, yes you did. Fixed!

Wow, I just spent waaaaay too long looking for this, like over an hour. I should stop dedicating myself to pointless tasks. I do like your name for it, it's used in a few ZBLLs like: R U R' y R' U' R U R2 F R F' R or R U R' y U R' U R U' R2 F R F' R and in this Pureflip/twist 1LLL case R U R' y U R2 F R F' R, and it's nice to have a names for things.

W OLL - R' F' U' F2 U R U' R' F' R

The inverse isn't half bad for the awkward P-OLL either.

R' F R U R' U' F2 U F R

Wow... lots and lots of application for it.

And yeah, I've noticed that having names for things helps me remember them better

I found this 2x2 adjacent swap

R' F R F' R U2' R' U R U2' R'

 

[KevinG]

I found this 2x2 adjacent swap

R' F R F' R U2' R' U R U2' R'

I already use this[emoji12]

 

[TDM]

I found this 2x2 adjacent swap

R' F R F' R U2' R' U R U2' R'

Sameer used this in his WR average iirc. That's where I got it from.

 

[henrysavich]

I found this one alg for all adj. swap OLLCP's of the corners oriented two flip case, great for OH

x' R U' R U2 L' U L U2 R2 x

its mirror and their inverses account for the 3 other adj. swap OLLCP's
