Wouldn't that destroy the wings positions?
It was going to be a U2 away if I did the 'correct' target anyway.

How could you break into a new cycle with a U layer target? You only break into a new cycle when all of the U targets are solved.For 4BLD centers, using the U2 method, if I break into a new cycle with a U layer target (whose alg isn't U2), and the cycle ends, could I just do U2 instead of doing that target's alg? I've been considering this and don't immediately see any problems.

If you solve to the point when your buffer is solved, but not necessarily all the U targets, do you not break into a new cycle?

Has one ever tried to do 5bld into a checkerboard or even superflip pattern? Shouldn't be that hard for 3bld tho
You mean solving it as a regular BLD then add the checkboard pattern before taking off the blindfold? Because that's the easiest way to do that.
I guess this is more math, but on 4BLD, given that you always choose the best possible orientation (most solved pieces), what's the least solved pieces you can get? What cube state accomplishes this?
I think it was calculated you can always have 5 solved centres or more.
That's the one, I tried searching for it and failed. So, 4 is the worst theoretically possible, but hasn't been demonstrated in practice. Anyone up for working it out?
What about wings and corners?
Who chooses their orientation on wings and centers?
Who chooses their orientation on wings and centers?
In certain special cases you may have two edge groups created and in the correct locations with respect to each other. If the centers were not in a terrible position for this cube orientation, then I would be tempted to choose that orientation.
It is very probable that you will choose your orientation based on the number of solved centers, but there is a non-zero probability that your wings or even corners would convince you to choose the orientation based on those pieces instead.
I probably wouldn't even notice any solved wing or corner clusters before starting to memo those piece types (so after already memoing centers) because I focus so solely on centers to first choose orientation and not waste too much time on that and then actually memoing the centers
