Blind fold solving fastest method

[AJelsma]

Uh yea what is the fastest method for bld thanks

and an explanation would be great

 

[Stefan]

Apparently freestyle.

 

[AJelsma]

i havent been doing to much blindfolding (solves and also learned recently)

There really is no "fastest" method, or at least not yet. Until we reach the limits of each method we really can't tell. However, as of now, the fastest BLD-ers are using freestyle.

Atm Freestyle but that's popularity, with any method it should be possible to sub-1 if you build up a better memory or memorisation approach. That's just my opinion though, maybe you could ask Alex or Ville?

 

[aegius1r]

I think all the methods can do sub1? If you're familiar enough with your method and memo'd fast...

 

[DavidWoner]

freestyle generally uses the fewest moves, and that definitely goes a long way towards speeding up your times.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

where do I find Freestyle?

where do I find Freestyle?

You don't, it finds you

where do I find Freestyle?

You don't, it finds you

Or, you can find it inside you (creepy stuff)

Freestyle is just 3-cycling without pre-orienting.

It sounds so easy when you put it that way.

Do you consider BH to be freestyle? The way you describe it, they're the same (BH is just 3-cycling without pre-orienting). But from a different perspective, they're directly opposite - there's nothing freestyle about BH - you know exactly how you're going to solve each possible arrangement before you start, so there's nothing "free" about it.

Well, my freestyle is getting less intuitive all the time as I do the same thing for same cycles almost every time. BH is freestyle, just not so intuitive.

It's kinda like intuitive F2L becoming less intuitive with practice and repetition, right?

Exactly!

Actually, that's what BH is supposed to be like, too - you start off learning BH intuitively, and then it becomes less intuitive with practice and repetition. So I guess BH really is just freestyle - it's a different way to approach the same thing. And I guess the only thing that's distinctive about BH is that it's optimized specifically for minimum number of moves.

When I read freestyle... I was thinking you guys remember every single location of the pieces and solve it using fridrich. I'm such a pro BLD solver./Sarcasm

That's freestyle, too.

Can anyone actually memorize the entire cube and how it turns, then solve it blindfolded using a normal non-BLD method like LBL,Petrus,Fridrich?!?!

That would be insane... You would see like 40 second times if fast cubers could memo in 20 seconds!!!
