Important F2L Algorithms For Intuitive F2L Users

http://twitter.com/TheWestonian

These are just a collection of a few algorithms that you should learn even if you use intuitive F2L. The reason behind it is the move count. The whole reason someone will learn F2L algorithms is to reduce their move count and as a result, speed up their times. These few cases however, are hard to do intuitively and would require a lot of turns.

ALGORITHMS

1. Pair in slot with edge un-oriented: R U' R' d R' U2 R U2' R' U R

2. Pair in slot with corner twisted CCW: R U2' R U R' U R U2' R2'

3. Pair in slot with corner twisted CW: R U R' U' R U2 R' U' R U R'

4. Corner above destination, facing up, with edge flipped: U2 R2' U2 R' U' R U' R2'

5. Mirror of last case: (y') U2 R2' U2 R U R' U R2

6. Top color of corner different from edge, and misaligned: U' R U R' U R U R'

7. Mirror of last case: (y) U L' U' L U' L' U' L

8. Pair with edge flipped, with bottom color facing right: R' U2 R2' U R2' U R

9. Mirror of last case: (y) L U2' L2' U' L2 U' L'

10. Edge correct, corner on top facing right: U' R U2' R' U R U R'

11: Same as last case, with edge unoriented: U' R U R' d R' U' R

12: Edge correct, corner on top facing front: U' R U' R' U2 R U' R'

13: Same as last case, but edge unoriended: U' R U R' d R' U' R

1:45 Why don't simply do mirror case(L' U2 L' U' L U' L' U2 L2)?

[theWestonian]

@KarlosStudios You could. RU algs are generally better for right handed people though.

You could still use the LU alg if you had it in the FL slot though.

useless

[theWestonian]

@naker115 Oh really? Is that why I average sub 11?

[NatratAtattat]

0:40 couldnt you just do R U R'U' 3 times (that gives you an F2L pair) and then do R U2 R' U2 F' U F'?

[theWestonian]

@NatratAtattat

But that's slow.

[XcodXx200]

thanks helped alot

[magicswimmer1]

Will anyone add me on Skype and help me with my solving?? My Skype is swimman15

[jawbreak1r]

for 0:35 when a single edge is flipped, i personally prefer

R U' R U2 F R2 F' U2 R2

[MasterQuestMaster]

1:52 Very nice sexy move ^^. I, personally, love the 3x RUR'U' for edge in place and corner above facing up :)

[ZebMacahan]

You're the man, man.

1:00 and 1:31 you could use EJF2L after correcting the "bad edges". A lot faster than placing the last edge-corner pair and OLL - it does both in like 14 moves. Algs here: cube.garron.us/MGLS/I
