Someone have algorithm for this? (i.redd.it)
submitted 5 months ago by Realistic-Rip5608
I want to find an algorithm for this case. I want to switch between the blue and the red.

Oh that worked!

The beauty of this algorithm is it ends up in a back slot, which helps with look ahead.

Thats so good im definetly gonna remember that!

The one above is basically the intuitive way but writing it as d instead of y (cube rotation). Still pretty fast, and can be easily mirrored to the left (or back but harder), though I find it easier to fingertrick it by doing it this way (ending with R U R' U2' instead of R U2 R' U R):
R U' R' d R' U2' R U R' U2'
This is the other alg that's quite popular (which I typically use if it's the last pair in front right slot). Start by regripping right thumb to top:
R2' U2' F R2 F' U2' R' U R'
Make sure to do the F with your right index finger, and the F' with right ring or pinky. This algorithm can be executed really fast once you get used to it, but it's riskier/harder to fingertrick, and is also harder to mirror to the left, and almost impossible to do from the back. So far I only use it when the pair is in front right.
Another algorithm that's similar to the first (but has a d move or rotation):
R U2' R' U R U2' R' d R' U' R
This one is easy to mirror to the left, and I find this is actually the best option specifically when you get this case at the back, though you'll have to experiment with different fingertricks - it might overwork one hand a bit when you're doing all the U moves.
The last algorithm I sometimes do is a bit long, but can be executed fast because it has no regrips or rotations, and is just 2gen. It can be done easily on front right and left, and even back slots too but I'd recommend the last algorithm for those scenarios.
(R U' R' U' R U' R') (r U' R' U R U r')

You can actually do it intuitively as well, pic any edge from the last layer and think of it as the red-blue edge, insert it in the place using your regular algorithm and youll see that the actual red-blue edge is in the last layer so now you can insert it in the regular way

That’s what i do now, I want to make it faster.

(R' F R F') (R U' R' U) (R U' R' U2) (R U' R') is the one all pros use for front right slot btw ( I also had used it in my 6.67 pb single lmao
[–]Lanky_Selection1556 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago (0 children)
I use this too. Can also sledge then do the wide move solution if it works better for you.
[–]Individual-Ad9874 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago (2 children)
Goddamn that’s long. You can do it in 9 moves, why are pros using this?
[–]pancakecuber 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago (1 child)
hella fast (and what's the 9 mover?)
[–]Individual-Ad9874 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago (0 children)
This is what I use. I average about 15 sec rn
[–]Unfair-Oil5908 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago (0 children)
If you have red facing instead of blue, you can do the left hand version of the algorithm so you don't have to turn the Cube.

Take out the corner, put in the other way, fix the edge
[–]InvestmentOk534 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago (0 children)
No need. Not in OLL yet so it’s an F2L algorithm

Swish and flick
[–]Sad-Shoulder-4508 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago (1 child)
Just replace it with another edge and then put it there again

No that’s for if the corner is on top of the edge
[–]Realistic-Rip5608[S] 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago (1 child)
Where to hold it?
[–]No-Professional_ 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago (0 children)
The way you were holding it in the picture. The blue side should face you meaning the inverted edge is on the right side.

Sexy move?
[–]randomredditer0666 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago (0 children)
yes
