Thanks! I'll try a solve now! Just failed a solve by 8 corners
DNF by 3 Edges
Thanks! I'll try a solve now! Just failed a solve by 8 corners
I'm also a beginner who does M2 edges with memo corners-edges and execute edges corners and audio memo is EASY, in fact, I can almost say it's not even memorizing.
Here's an example:
JF-NV-CD-BA-WG-D
This is the edges I just got from randomly scrambling the cube, to memo it all I did was:
1) Saw the first letter is J, looked for the second letter and got F, the word JefF easly pops to mind.
2) While repeating the word JefF in my mind I continued to look for the next 2 edges, I got N and V, the word NoVa is the first word I thought about.
3) I say "JefF NoVa" a few times while looking for the next 2 edges, I find C and D and I think of CoDe, now I just repeat JefF NoVa CoDe.
4) The next 2 edges are BA, I personally thought of BAd but there are many options here, BAt, BAll, BAck, BAse, whatever, now I got JefF NoVa CoDe BAd
5) This sentence isn't really hard to remember if you repeat it in your mind, the last few edges are always the hardest but they're not too bad either, now I get WG and I think of WaGe, I add it: JefF NoVa CoDe BAd WaGe
6) now the final letter is D, you can make up any word that starts with D or you can just simply remember that after you're done with the edges to do D and then fix parity.
7) Now that I got this long sentence, I repeat it about 2-3 times before I begin solving: JefF NoVa CoDe BAd WaGe D JefF NoVa CoDe BAd WaGe D JefF NoVa CoDe BAd WaGe D
8) I start solving, remember to never stop repeating this sentence while solving and remember to repeat all of it cause I sometimes repeat just the first few words and then the last ones are forgotten very easily.
9) Since in M2 you kinda solve in pairs, you start with the first word, J and F, you solve them, and now your sentence just got shorter: NoVa CoDe BAd WaGe D
10) You solve N and V, your sentence now is just CoDe BAd WaGe D, from this point it becomes VERY EASY, the words will stay in your mind even if you don't say them because of repeating them so many times in your mind before that, and they're very few words too.
11) Just solve CD, it's just BAd WaGe D now, solve B and A, solve W G, solve D, fix parity and try to remember the corner images you memorized a long time ago, because they were images you will remember them well.
The better you get with execution the easier memoing becomes because execution doesn't take any of your attention and focus, the better you get edges will also be faster and corner images will be fresher in your mind so remembering them won't be hard.
DNF by 3 Edges
Well of-course you think it's good, I learned it from your video.Very good explanation! My one piece of advice is to avoid two syllable words like NoVa, which will slow you down considerably once you're faster. I like to treat every two syllables as one entity, so I end up with three two syllable words (or gibberish). Having something that is two syllables fills time that could have 4 letters in it rather than just two.
Try to keep on going, you'll get used to it eventually...DNF by 11 edges and 8 corners
And I don't really get what you mean with the syllables, could you give an example?
Why can't i both speedsolve and blindsolve? I tried some BLD today, and then i tried speed again and my times were much slower. Do i have to choose between one of them?
BLD requires thinkahead while speedsolving requires lookahead. These two skills are almost mutually exclusive, so it can sometimes be a challenge to switch between them.
Getting better at BLD doesn't mean you will get worst at speed solving, just when doing BLD for an hour or so and then doing speed solving right after that makes speed solving a little bit slower, but in a few solves it gets back to normal... It happens to me when I do BLD then regular, or ZZ then CFOP, or not touching the cube for a long time and then doing solving... everything takes warming up and BLD just doesn't warm you up for regular solving.But i'm not sure which one i want to do... Both are awesome!
Does anyone one know what is the difference between BLD and 3BLD
I don't think 4BLD has much to do with 3BLD, 4BLD requires a much longer memo so everything is very different. Just try it out, you got nothing to lose.At what time would it be a good time to start practicing 4BLD?
At what time would it be a good time to start practicing 4BLD?
So I'm learning how to do 3BLD with Old Pochmann, and I'm having a hard time remembering all the set up moves. Is there a specific way that you've learned how to remember the set up moves? thanks.
