Ok... I've been looking through various guides and I watched badmephisto's video and stuff. I get the part where you have to shoot the piece, but when I actually try to do it on a scrambled cube, I mess up and I don't know which set up moves and stuff I should do. It all gets very confusing. I also didn't get the part about cycles and breaking cycles. When I see a scrambled cube and try and solve it like that, I get very confused and I don't know what to do. Please help!
 
First of all, this kind of breaks Rule #3 of the forums:

3. When starting a thread, make the topic title as clear as possible. Don’t just make a thread titled: ‘HELP HELP!’. People have to see the topic of the thread by reading the title.

But to answer your question, that is for blindfold cubing, not regular cubing while looking, although it still works.
 
I'm sorry about the title... It's just that I need to practise without a blindfold the method beforehand to get the idea right?
 
Yeah, basically. What I meant was that this probably should have been in the Blindfold Cubing section, not Speedcubing. But perhaps you will learn better from a written tutorial, the tutorial I learned from: this one. Try that.
 
There was a blindfolded cubing section? Sorry for the disturbance... I've tried reading that. It was more of a scan read. I'll try again.

Where have you been?

I don't know if I've watched badmephisto's blindfold tutorial... are you using T-perm with both J perms? The setup moves shouldn't be long. If you do it with your eyes open, trying solving all the corners first so that backtracking your setup moves will be easier. But really what you should be doing is right after you finish whatever perm you were doing, think about which piece you just switched, where it came from and how you got it there, and reverse those 1 or 2 moves in your head. Sometimes I think doing each piece with your eyes closed may be easier than looking at the scrambled cube because you're really concentrated on the specific piece and its not hard to imaging the few setup/undoing setup moves.
