Any tutorials on the 3-cycle set-up moves? (Macky's)

[pajodaep]

hello guys,

i'm new to 3-cycle, and so far i noticed that the set-up moves are really difficult compared to the 3-cycle. i decided to shift to 3-cycle to get really fast. anyway, are there any tutorials/links for the set-up moves or do i have to discover it for myself? thanks.

"I'm new to 3-cycle, and so far i noticed that the set-up moves are really difficult compared to the 3-cycle." <- I don't quite get that.

You're allowed to use F B U D L2 R2 as you setup moves. That's all you need to know.

I should be making BLD video tutorials soon so that may help once I make it.

He probably meant 2-cycle.

Good news: All video's for my VERY extensive tutorial has been shot. I will do the editing and uploading next weekend. That means that next monday everyone should be able to learn 3-cycle blindfolded by watching about 1 hour of video on youtube.

After that, I am going to learn regular Pochmann, M2 and maybe some other techniques and make videos of those methods as well. That will probably take a couple of months.

Wow, 1 hour, nice, I guess I might not have to make one then.

I don't understand a bit of M2 so when you make it, I'll learn it.

The only problematic setup moves you can get are during CP when you have a three-cycle of one corner in one layer and two diagonally separated corners in another layers.

If the two corners are in the top layer I usually do something like (R' D R D')3 to bring DLF to URF.

If the two corners are in the bottom I do something something like this (suppose i want to cycle ULF->DLB->DRF), U R2 U' D2 R2, then cycle ULF->URB->ULB, and then undo setup: R2 D2 U R2 U'.

Edit: Remember that your setup moves aren't restricted during orientation.

i think the easiest way to learn methods is by reading not movies
i never can learn watching videos ..but that's me..
anyway...right now i'm learning macky's tutorial...and i can say blindfol cubing is waaayy..easier than i thought

It really isn't as hard as many people thinks.

That's not true. The restrictions depend on how you define an edge to be correctly oriented. I've got these restrictions: R L U D F2 B2

Your making it too easy for noob cubers to learn BLD, haha
