When doing CFOP it was R2 U' R' U' R U R U R U' R / R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R', because it was easy to remember.

Now with Roux, I use M2 U M U2 M' U M2, but "intuitively", it’s not in muscle memory (yet).

Which one do you use?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I use the RU one (the first one is different). Solved side at the back. I wanted to find algs that can solve with solved side at the front or minimizing AUF at the end.

R U R' U R' U' R2 U' R' U R' U R - Ua with solved side at front, U2 AUF

R' U' R U' R U R2 U R U' R U' R' - Ub (flip side of above)

Looking for more algs like this. I don't know if there's a mirror of the above 2

M U one but not the common one I see everyone use. It's the same one done from the other side (solved face on front).

Oh I thought solved face on front is the more common way to do MU alg? I don't use it but I like that you can do it from either side.

I can't do M moves very well so I've avoided MU algs

I use the RUS U perm. I know it's unpopular but it's really satisfying to execute.

It looks really cool when other people do it. I just can't execute it well enough to use it.
