I’m currently learning full OLL slowly and also some PLL, but I’m picking and choosing the algs I’m learning. I recently saw the linked video for a fast U perm and it made my solves so much faster because I seem to use it in A LOT of solves.
So I thought I’d share it, and also ask what your most used algs are? Post links if possible, let’s all get faster together.
Damn, I’ve never seen that U perm. I’ll have to try it! It’s funny, the 3 U algs showed in that vid – I used the first one for the longest time, but recently I switched to the second one, and it’s in my muscle memory now. But the 3rd one looks really fun and if it’s faster, why not. You’re right, that alg shows up in a lot of solves.
I’m not really at the point where shaving a quarter second off my algs is what I need most… I’m averaging like 25-28s depending on the day :) Mostly working on F2L, and memorizing the last few PLLs that I don’t have yet. I’m impressed that you’re working on full OLL… that’s down the road for me! :)
While I’m here, in other news, I beat my PB by 2 seconds a couple days ago, thanks in part to a PLL skip. 16s!
I’m averaging 50 seconds ish and best at 37 atm. I decided to go Irish and do OLL first because 2 look PLL doesn’t feel like it takes as long as 2 look OLL.
I too am trying to concentrate on getting F2L faster and more intuitive but find a lot of the videos on YT about F2L seem to be needlessly complicated algs for something that is relatively simple using the simple algs I’m already using. They seem to concentrate on rotationless algs which I understand the need for, but not really for me right now
