Hello. I am learning BLD. I need some help on parity. I use CO and CP for Corners and use Old Pochmann for edges. Memo wise, I always solve corners first. It makes it a lot easier. However, I looked at badmephisto's tutorial and He says he solves edges first because parity is easier. I can not do edges first. I have tried and I dont even come close to solving. If i solve Corners first, I get VERY close to solving it. So i need help on how to solve parity for corners first. I get the concept but I just cant get it.



Thanks:)
 
its the exact same thing, it doesnt matter what you do first, odd number of swaps for anything=R perm, he does edges first and parity for example purposes. trust me, its the EXACT same thing
 
?
WTF2L is everyone using R perm? Why not just leave the last corner until you finish or simply do another Y perm?
For me:
1. Letter memorize edges
2. Visual memorize corners while counting.
3. Execute corners up the largest even number.
4. Do all edges.
5. If last odd corner isn't done, U'F2UM2U'F2U and finish last odd corner.

Edit: For Classic Pochmann edges, Parity Fix would probably be a R perm, not the above alg.

Hmm... Guess Parity fix in Classic Pochmann is R perm? I never used that method, LOL.

Edit3:
Ok, I just tried a sighted classic Pochmann solve with parity.
My way still works and the Parity Fix really is a R perm.
What I don't get is why people still use R perm even when they do use M2 for edges.

I dont use the y perm. I like the R perm better. I like the WTF2L idea though:D
 
Yea, and R-perm, I dunno what I was thinking there. God I feel stupid for posting that.

You can delete your own posts!

I edited everything embarrassing out. I went on about how fanwuqs idea for Y perm and saving the last corner would work for old pochmann. It was really quite silly.

It works fine for M2, and the same idea does work for classic Pochmann, just R perm is the parity fix (which I didn't realize at first) and it can even be done right after all corners and before all edges. I do not like classic Pochmann edges (never used it). Way too many moves and not as easy to think about than M2 or 3OP.

You could do with with classic pochmann, but it's not saving you any moves. Just an unnecessary extra thing to worry about in your memo.
