That0newe1rdo and Yann1qua12DagOat Race to 3BLD mean

[Yann1qua12DagOat]

Yay! @That0newe1rdo we have finally got a thread for this instead of just littering your profile posts with messages!
Let's see who gets a success first!

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Yayayayayyaya

Im winning im farming bld tonight.
Heres my plan :
1 - Scramble
2 - Memo 1 piece
3 - Solve 1 piece BLD
4 - Do an ao5 of this
5 - Repeat but every time i add one piece, until i cant get a ao5 with no DNFs in which ill look at my problems.

This strat prolly got some problems tha but yk ill roll with it for now

By now I'm memorising the edges then executing them blindfolded, followed by corner memorisation and then execution blindfolded. I just did the 1 hour 4x4 challenge and got 40 solves (let's goooo) so I'll be mentally exhausted - perfect for such an exercise! Good luck!

Yeah don't do that strat lol, how much of 3BLD have you learnt?

All, didnt like Speffz lettering scheme so i use dif one, tbh just need to work on my set ups for corners and memo itself

What are you using instead of Speffz?(I would definitely recommend using Speffz). Try doing solves sighted with BLD method, solves with written memo and edge-only/corner-only solves

Basically the same but the middle layer is misaligned by 1 anticlockwise if yk what i mean.
Wait theres a better way to say this.
Speffz has left side starting with E.
My one would have front side starting with E instead

OK I mean that's not a huge difference but I would recommend just getting used to Speffz since it'll be easier to understand tutorials

Yeah im used to it decently but find it more natural in memo to have the slight diff.

I would recommend going with Speffz. I chose white top orange front as my orientation(idk why lol) and now I regret it, I should have chosen the standard orientation.

Yeah, your right about that.
However, I dont know if i want to get good at BLD, and as of now ill think at most ill learn M2 for edges and use OP for corners.
Thanks for the tips on how i could work ny way into doing full bld solves !

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Update :
Rn im actually struggling at memo, to my suprise, so i havent been able to get any solves remotely close to being solved.
Here are PBs for amount of edges/corners i have successfully solved in a solve.
PB : Edges - 3 (untimed) Corners - 2 (untimed)

Are you struggling with tracing within memo or the actual memorisation?

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Are you struggling with tracing within memo or the actual memorisation?

Na, tracing is fine, just the actual memo, how to tell if youve got parity and what to do if youve got a new cycle mainly.

Parity- If you have an odd number of edge/corner letters you have parity
New cycles- Just pick a random target you haven't memoed yet and start a new cycle from there

Ok thanks !
So for the parity bit would i have parity if my memo looks like this ?
AB CD EF GH I (odd number of letters)
or if it looks like this ?
AB CD EF GH IJ (odd number of letter pairs)

Thanks !

 

[CubeLite]

AB CD EF GH I (odd number of letters)

Yes

AB CD EF GH IJ (odd number of letter pairs)

No

It is for odd number of letters, or if you have 1 letter alone, nothing to do with pairs

I just did around an hour of bld practise (4 or so full attempts) and mainly failed miserably - but I got a Ja Perm away from the cube being solved on one of the attempts (ironically, I'd been flexing to my friends how I'd "made" a new Ja perm alg even though it was just swapping the letter C in edges XD). I'm getting closer by the day!
Also, @That0newe1rdo why the steak?

That's really close, good luck!
