2-Look OLL (Intermediate) v2

This is the new version of one of my more popular videos. I decided to remake it because in the last one I left a lot of questions unanswered, and gave algorithms that were sometimes not so good. I hope that this new version will provide a clearer explanation.

If you find yourself full of questions, please send me a message and I'll see if I can help you out.

Yes! It is a good speedcube. It's a DIY type C.

Yes! I DO know full OLL!

Yes! U2' (prime) IS different from U2. If you don't believe me, do an average for the algorithm with U2, and an average for U2'. See? I told ya'.

Yes! I DID discover the superman algorithm used in this video. How? I found it in my dorm room with a serious case of boredom, a Siamese cube, and a hunch.

The algorithms, for convenience sake:

Notice that I gave each algorithm a number, if you like to take notes or if you need to ask a question about a particular case. Please note that the numbering is artificial and arbitrary (that means I just made it up). Don't memorize the numbers, it won't help you.

[01] The Bar (fix opposite edges):
F (R U R' U') F'

[02] The L (fix adjacent edges):
f (R U R' U') f'

[03] The Dot (fix all edges):
F (R U R' U') F' f (R U R' U') f'

[04] The Sune:
R U R' U R U2' R'

[05] The Anti-Sune:
R' U' R U' R' U2 R

[06] The Double Sune:
R U2 R' U' (R U R' U') R U' R'

[07] The Bruno: (Can't wait for that movie! xD)
R U2 R2 U' R2' U' R2 U2' R

[08] The Triple-Sune:
x U R' U' L U R U' r'

[09] The Superman (aka Headlights):
(R U R' U') (R U' R' U2)*2 (R U R')

[10] The Chameleon:
(r U R' U') (r' F R F')

Speaking of Chameleons, do you know how they change colors? They have several sets of special colored cells in their skin called chromatophores. When the situation calls for it, certain colored cells will swell causing the chameleon to change color. This is useful for hiding, attracting sexy lady chameleons in an attempt to get laid, or for regulating their temperature. Three cheers for chameleons! By the way, octopuses can do this too... and they are WAY cooler than chameleons.

Special thanks to Thrawst, Bob Burton, Yu Nakajima, Erik Akkersdijk, and the OLL Wiki for these algorithms. All of the algorithms in this video, and many more, can be found on my epic website, linked below.

what is the difference of u2 and u2'

[LanceTheBlueKnight]

@SexyPanda939

Not much, but depending on the situation one might be a little better than the other. In this case, doing U2 in the clockwise direction requires the use of your right hand, which would require you to reposition that hand first. It's a little slower that way.

Is it really worth learning full OLL?

Thanks

[LanceTheBlueKnight]

@nimsxmx

I would say, don't try to learn full OLL by brute force memorization. It's not worth it, and it's just going to be frustrating. Instead, learn 2-look and practice it a lot. After a while, you'll start to notice that there are some cases that show up a lot, and you should learn those first.

In fact, I think someone has a site where they list OLL cases by probability... some of them come up like once every 50 solves, and some show up almost never... so learn common cases first!

Edges = 5:25 Bar 5:56 L 6:32 Middle  Corners = 7:40 Sune 8:29 Anti-Sune 9:29 Double Sune 10:15 Bruno 11:01 Triple Sune 11:52 Superman 12:35 Chameleon

[xfcane]

hey lance, take a look at this

chameleon solve alorithm : (r.U.R'.U') (r'.F.R.F')

triple sune alternative algorithm(yellow sticker facing you) : F' (r.U.R'.U') (r'.F.R)

so what i did there was just changing the last chameleons F'. its easier to remember, thumbs up so he can see

[coolkidowen214]

for the L yuo could hold it normal and do F U R U' R' F'

[bakonfreek]

yeah, this is only working about 4% of the time for me, every other time, I have to reset because the edges don't work for PLL

[bakonfreek]

edges keep being wrong even when I do all of the algorighms, or even when I try to fix their allignments before doing algorithms...

[MrTheguyofdoom]

wuts ur fastest time myn is 1min and 10 seconds i know intuitive f2l im learning oll and pll

[b00b3rrymuff1n]

That was amazing. Thank you so much :)

[bigbaseballs1125]

@svderubiks Thanks, but little late now, I already know 2LOLL,

[svderubiks]

@bigbaseballs1125 just take apart your cube and reassemble it with the cases you want to practice (orient corners incorrectly;...)

[ducktape775]

what do I do after 2-look oll?
