Uncommon BLD method combinations

[riffz]

Not at all, it appears that I ignored the "uncommon" part and just posted the method combinations I have used.

Lol yea I figured

Zane's Dad has a mad method. Met him at the Australian championships.

"T-Perm. Only T-Perm. For corners and edges".

Asked him how he fixed parity "T-Perm... and then just remember that your first 2 pieces are going to be swapped". Hardcore. Chuck Norris would memo like this.

Lol! I will definitely try this!

Orient everything. Then, Old Pochmann.
Got a 1:33 personal best today. It can be fastish.

Seriously, I am impressed by your time. I cannot think of a method with a bigger move count.

I use M2/R2. Strangely, it seems to be uncommon.

I uploaded this about a year ago:

Yeah, it was really easy.
I'll post another one. It's been awhile.

I think Zane's been trying to convince him to include Y-Perm, but that he claims it's a waste of moves

Awesome dude if you ever get a chance to meet him. The more I spoke to him, the more this method started making sense.

I am pretty bad at BLD, and use 3OP corners and OP edges, (really need to learn M2 for edges) but for parity I just remember the first to pieces are swapped at well. I started this habit because the video I learned blind from, had a horrible explanation of parity, so I just decided to do it this way.

That's a solve from today. It was a decent solve.

351 moves (STM) / 65 exec secs = 5.36 tps

I now use free 3-cycles for edges (I don't know if this is proper freestyle, but I just memo and solve in whatever way I see using commutators), and boomerang or old pochmann for corners, depending on whether I like the orientation or not.

I have only tried once and was off by a 3-cycle that I simply forgot to do for some reason.
I think this combination is uncommon...

 

[mariano.aquino]

i use R2 for corners, mixed up with commutators, and M2 for edges. is that uncommon..??
i haven´t met many people who use R2 yet...
guess that´s the uncommon part..!

before learning any method, i used to use that T-perm-only approach!

 

[wontolla]

I use M2 and commutators for corners. Apparently it's uncommon.

I think of the commutator at the memo stage and then just execute. Weird stuff.

 

[Renslay]

I use Boomerang/M2, PB 1:42.98. My average is about 2 minutes. I think less than 10 people use Boomerang...

 

[5BLD]

Hello Renslay
So you finally decided to post on these forums... Yeah, it seems to be very rarely used. I like it but I'm not sure about using BH instead for multiblind, as there's no preorientatiom.

Not even 10 people know about the method...

Rensley, can't believe you joined speedsolving! Yay!

 

[Renslay]

5BLD: My suggestion is use BH. Preorientation is not MBLD friendly.

Hershey: there is a hungarian article about Boomerang, so many hungarian cubers know it. I remember that there was a huge interest about it in that time. I just don't know how many blindfolders actually use it. I do.

 

[riffz]

What is boomerang? Using comms to solve one corner at a time?

I use M2 and commutators for corners. Apparently it's uncommon.

Uhh, I don't think that's uncommon.

 

[vcuber13]

if i understand correctly, you do sledgehammer *3 for the swap, but it does a 2x2 swap

 

[5BLD]

Yup. That's the gist of it.

Shortcuts include incorporating R2 into solves and using R2 U R2 U' R2.
It's nice, but I don't like preorientation.

 

[JCrown]

I'm using :

edges/corners

M2/TuRBo
M2/3OP
full 3OP

 

[drewsopchak]

OP/Turbo. Switching to bh soon.

freestyle/freestyle xD

WOW! that's a rare one.

WOW! that's a rare one.

indeed is.
