Is it cool if I use my OLLs/COLLs for most U layer cycles, or should I be learning commutators?
Depends if your COLL's are Commutators.

Not all of them are. One I use a lot is:
r U R' U' L' U R U' x'
Are you implying that I should just be using commutators?
That would be fine for BLD. It is a commutator. xP

Wow lol. Say there was one that was not a commutator. Would there be harm in using it, big cubes aside?
Example?
As long as it's a pure 3-cycle, you're fine.Wow lol. Say there was one that was not a commutator. Would there be harm in using it, big cubes aside?
Depends how good your visual memory is. The speed and ease of a memory system varies from person to person, from my understanding most people find letters faster and easier.With a visual memory method like tapping, wouldn't recall be faster and easier?
On first thought, it may seem to be faster as there is no coding/decoding involved. However, it does depend on the process you use to go from the letters/images to the alg. Personally I'm learning BH so that I can can go straight from letters to alg without caring what stickers I'm cycling. So if I did visual memo, I'd be quite stuck sometimes and have to code them into letters before knowing what alg to solve them with.With a visual memory method like tapping, wouldn't recall be faster and easier?

Long live short-term memo.

When I memo corners, I memo letters but somehow always return to check just first two letters and then I instead of memoing them, I see how to solve them. So I memo last few corners, while first two I find the exact comm and then immediately execute it.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Wow. I thought that to do BH 3-cycle, you must identify the case (pure comm, A9, cyclic shift etc), and to do that, you should imagine where your stickers are.Personally I'm learning BH so that I can can go straight from letters to alg without caring what stickers I'm cycling.
There are a ton of mirrors and inverses and stuff in there. After a while, memo turns directly into com execution.Wow. I thought that to do BH 3-cycle, you must identify the case (pure comm, A9, cyclic shift etc), and to do that, you should imagine where your stickers are.
How are you learning BH, so you can go straight from letters to algorithms? Do you learn an algorithm for every 378 images?

I memo edges first, then corners. Then solve corners and then edges. Letter pair words/sentences for edge memo, audio corners. My new main problem is remembering how my edge memo starts, right after I executed corners. Any ideas?
14 algs. Each pair of letters gets associated with one of the algs (I learn an alg-set at a time so that's easy), a rotation, and whether it's the inverse/mirror/both. See here. I'm learning for UBL buffer though rather than UBR
