What system are you using?

Kinda like letter pairs, but with some weird stuff. Once I've settled on an exact system, I'm planning to post to the random BLD thread with the history of all the methods and variations I've used over the years. Spoiler: I've noted down some details so far and apparently I'm on 'version' 7.1 just now. My last good BLD in comp (~8:30 5BLD) used version 4.1, so I've probably tried more stuff than anyone else.

I look forward to seeing it. I'm trying out sentences at the moment and I think it will be a huge improvement on what has gone before once I'm used to it.

Wasn't sure whether this should go in the accomplishments or failures thread. So I decided, be an optimist!

Just got a very, very close attempt with M2. Buffer and UF edges flipped. Would have been first success with M2 (although I haven't had many attempts) The time was 5:30.97, which is pretty good for me!

Looks like an accomplishment to me. Did you memo wrong orientation, miss it or forget to execute?

Did a cool thing in a BLD solve

1:02.048 R2 B2 L2 U2 F D2 F R2 F2 R2 U2 L' U' R2 F' U B R' F D' U

Only reason I did it was because I forgot to swap UB and UL during memo and didn't realize until I saw the D layer 2 swap lol

I think that's pretty good, I'm only about 10-15 secs faster... It's all about being confident in your execution If you aren't you'll take it slowly if you are you'll move like it's a typical speedsolve.
