you need strong memo and do some sighted solves to make sure that you fully understand the OP corners.
good luck on next try.

Yes, sighted solves all the way, especially if it takes you an hour to memo.
sighted first
then do some solves with written memo, bld execution
once this is working (most of the time) go back to "real" bld
As long as execution is not working properly it is no use spending all that time on memorising.
But PLEASE start using a better memo system

Trust me ive done many sighted solves using old pochman and I understand how to do the corners perfectly fine. I think im going to try the 3OP corner training on prisma puzzle and see if I can do them blind. About the written memo blind execution ive done that a few times. Also when I start trying the attempt my heart starts racing and I get really anxious (mostly cause I just wanna know what it feels like to take off that blindfold and see a solved cube in my hands) I dont understand what you mean by letter stickers like say blue white becomes AB (or something like that?) this doesnt make alot of sense to me cause Id have an easier time memorizing a string of colors then a string of letters. Sorry fairly new to blind if someone wants to PM me to help me out it would be much appreciated so we dont clutter this thread.

O wow that sounds really complicated... I get the idea and I can see how that would make memo alot easier but thats alot of time to set it up and be comfortable with it. I think I am going to work on it though it will definetly take alot of the stress out of memo after I memorize my memo techinique....
Funny thing is I really do have a good memory (I never took notes in school because Id always remember everything) but just trying to remember upwards of a string of 30 colors for edges only then yea that took a while. Thanks you for the help =)

With this memo method you'll only need about 12 letters for edges and 8 for corners

Pop on a 4BLD, I fixed it, but at the end it was completely off... and a 57.47 3BLD DNF. Very good for me, would've been a PB and my second sub-1. I practically never get sub 1 DNF's anyway. It was only off by a few moves too. (like 2 edges 2 corners) I really should learn BH, OP corners take so long. Might've been sub 55 without the twisted corner. 22 second memo.
57.47 DNF scramble: D2 L B2 D2 F2 L2 B2 L' R2 D F' R' U' R2 D' U2 L' U' R' - second scramble from The blindfold race!, week 33
Memo: Edges: PAy HeLl CaVe MO ("more") GiFts, Corners: I'Ll WiPe QM ("quim"), twisted corner = BH

That sucks
I have done one attempt and I was so off, my cube wasn't even in the right orientation.

You are already attempting 5BLD? o____O sheesh I've waited way too long I start 5BLD.

haha yeah once I figured out how to use U2 for plus centers its pretty much the same as 4BLD. My first DNF was around 48 minutes, I am sure you are faster than me.

You use U2 for plus centers? O.O I forced my self to learn comms cuz U2 seemed impossible for plus centers.

advanced M2 for +centers ftw.

That is genius O.O I just don't know how you do the M slide centers.

That is probably the better route anyway. I forced myself to learn U2 because I was too lazy for comms still.

36:24.xx 5BLD DNF off by 4 wings.
It's cuz I didn't know how to do parity on 5x5 properly.

SAME COMPETITION. I did a 4BLD and undid sexy move wrong at the end, leaving me 3 moves off solved at the end.

SJC Summer 2012:
Two sub-9 4x4 attempts (8:5x and 8:4x), one off by 3 wings, one off by something else small (but two swapped corners...?) A 21:xx 5x5 off by 3 +centers. And generally crappy 3x3 attempts, ending with a 2:59 safety solve, which I thought I screwed up.
The big cubes would have been PRs (4x4 by ~15 seconds, 5x5 by 3 minutes).
And, no, I haven't been practicing big cubes blind. I just was in a good zone today (except during 3x3). Sometimes I just can't commit images to memory. It was very easy today, but didn't pay off. Oh well. Maybe this will spur me to practice?
