What This COLL Subset Does
Antisune COLL is the mirror of Sune COLL. It applies when you recognize an Antisune OLL pattern (three corners oriented, one corner needs orientation, but in the opposite orientation from Sune). Like Sune COLL, it solves both corner orientation and permutation in one algorithm, leaving only EPLL to finish.
When to Use: After F2L, if you see an Antisune pattern on the last layer AND all corners are already oriented correctly, you can use Antisune COLL instead of standard OLL + PLL.
Recognition Logic
Step 1: Identify Antisune Pattern
Look for the Antisune pattern: three corners showing the top color, one corner not showing the top color, but in the opposite orientation from Sune. The pattern looks like Sune but rotated or mirrored.
Step 2: Verify Corner Orientation
Ensure all four corners are already oriented correctly. If corners need orientation, use standard OLL instead.
Step 3: Identify Corner Permutation
Determine how the corners need to be swapped. Antisune COLL has multiple cases depending on corner permutation.
Example Algorithms
Note: These are examples. Full Antisune COLL subset contains multiple cases based on corner permutation.
Case 1 (Diagonal Swap):
R U2 R' U' R U' R'
This solves Antisune COLL when two diagonal corners need to swap positions.
Remember: After executing COLL, you'll need to recognize and execute one of four EPLL algorithms to finish the solve.
Why This Subset Is Useful
- High Frequency: Antisune patterns appear in approximately 15-20% of solves, similar to Sune
- Mirror Recognition: Once you know Sune, Antisune recognition becomes easier
- Time Savings: Can save 1-2 seconds compared to OLL + PLL
- Complementary Learning: Learning both Sune and Antisune COLL covers a significant portion of solves
Common Mistakes
- Confusing Sune and Antisune: Make sure you can distinguish between the two patterns before attempting COLL
- Using COLL when corners aren't oriented: COLL only works when all corners are already correctly oriented
- Wrong case recognition: Ensure you're identifying the correct corner permutation case
- Forgetting EPLL: Remember that COLL solves corners only; edges still need EPLL
⚠️ Important Note
This is a subset. Full COLL has 42 cases.
Antisune COLL is just one subset of the complete COLL method. The full Antisune COLL subset contains multiple cases based on different corner permutation scenarios. Learn these cases gradually as you become comfortable with the recognition and execution.
