Case Names! ;D
Picture
CLL is part of the EG method for solving a 2x2 cube. These are the algorithms I use to solve the top layer after the bottom layer has been solved.

They all look the same! What do I do?

As you should be able to see (if you're ready to learn CLL), once oriented the top side will be yellow. After that you simply figure out what relationship certain colors have to one another (opposite colors, same colors, or adjacent colors) and can distinguish between each case. If you need further explanation, Rowe and Rowan explain this recognition system pretty well in some of their videos.

Thanks for letting me use your CLL Images, David.

Sune Cases

                 R U R' U R U2 R'                           U' L' U R2 U' L U2 R' U' R2                            R U' L' U R' U' L         
             F R' F' R U2 R U2 R'                              L' U2 L U2 L F' L' F                        U2 R U' R U' R' U R' U' y R U' R'

Antisune Cases

                  L' U' L U' L' U2 L                    U2 R U2 R' F R' F' R U' R U' R'                       L' U R U' L U R'
                F' L F L' U2 L' U2 L                             R U2 R' U2 R' F R F'                        U2 F R F' U R U' R U R' U R'

Note: It is pretty easy to reflect the first, third, fourth, and fifth Antisune algorithm listed. Plus, the other two have AUFs, so I recognize the cases from the position given or the opposite (a U2 away), depending on how it ends up positioned after solving the first layer. To solve the case from the other position simply reflect the algorithm you know if it's one of those four listed, or just AUF and do the standard algorithm. For example, the first case changes from L' U' L U' L' U2 L to R' U' R U' R' U2 R.
