I originally learned M2/OP for the sake of learning BLD over a year ago. I got some success and then dropped it because I didn't like the memo portion of 3BLD. I start playing around with commutators and became interested in BLD again. I found out that I could learn comms only for a Beginner's BLD method thanks to the Oroczo method; first shown to me by Corey Sakowski then explained in Jay's post.
In my interest of using Oroczo as a beginner's method, I also started thinking about planning ahead to practice in a smart way.
This is why I am making this post. Hopefully others with experience can find any gross errors in my thinking and point them out.
anyway, here is what I have been going over so far.
Thought 1: EF is better than CF for 3BLD:
Reasons 1:
Edge comms use inner layers(MES) and no one should be faster with MES+3 gen versus 3gen(RUL/RUD/RUF) algs.
So executing "slower" edge comms first means bad finger tricks out of the way, it compliments memo methods(Explained is reason 2), also allows for spamming faster corner algs for glorious finish(no twists and flips ;P).
Reason 2:
EF is better for memo. One can memo faster because one is covering the larger target group with the faster memo method of audio.
Reason 3(nub reason/UF user):
EF parity is better for UF buffer users that are beginners like me. With the swap between UF/UR means I can force a J perm every parity instead of using the OP target.
I do this by solving the lasttarget>helper>buffer
OR
I could still make 21 OP style algs if I wanted but I can use J/L perm instead of Y perm from normal OP
2nd Thought: Flips and twist at end:
Reason 1:
You can setup into 1LLL algs at end.
Reason 2:
You can do rotations for setups to flips and twists and not have to worry about undoing rotation part of setup.(Small but good reason)
Reason 3:
No delay in audio edge memo to execution.
3rd Thought: Do NOT put anything on buffer:
Less letters is better. I have 22 edge and 21 corner letters. I dropped JKQXZ(use X for edges). This means I can use K words for C as well and I can double up on bad vowels. (J/A words for A, Q/Z/U words for U, etc)
4th Thought: Don't rotate unless you can NOT sub-1.5 a comm:
I have been all over about this one. For intuition reasons, I feel that unless one cannot sub-1.5 a comm, one does not need to find a "better algs" for speed and feeling good.
(Exceptions obv to algs going from like 1.5 to 0.5 with an x' or something)
But yeah, random beginner's thought on how to prepare before I start practicing.
