Megaminx BLD: 24:20.70 [12:35]And while I was at it, I ordered an MF8 gigaminx. So I guess it's time for me to figure out a better way to do megaminx BLD (non-orient-permute), so I can try gigaminx BLD. :)

I tried to turn mf8 gigaminx at Euro - it turns well, some people say it is the best gigaminx.

I also found out that comms for "x"-centers are similar to comms for x-centers in big cubes, but the problem is "t"-centers (these centers do not form 'x' or 't' letter but you know what centers I mean). I think (at least I didn't find exceptions) every comm for t-centers in big cubes involves m-slice, and there is no m-slice in gigaminx. Any ideas?
 
You can do a pseudo-M move in at least two different ways:
(Rw' Lw f Rw Lw') U (Rw' Lw f Rw Lw')
r (F' Rw U' Lw' U2) r' (U2' Lw U Rw' F)

edit: (U' Lw' U Rw U) r' (U' Rw' U' Lw U F r F')

edit2: u' R u (Rw U' Lw' U) b' R' b (U' Lw U Rw')

Did a 13~14mins 2~4BLD relay and followed by another 22mins 5BLD during lunch time. I'm happy that I didn't messed up the memo as I normally do when I do attempts without few hours break. In fact, I just rested for less than 2 minutes to scramble my 5x5 after the relay.

Awesome :tu Do you still use full visual memo?

I wonder how many other people got a 5BLD before they got a 4BLD. I was considering trying this when I couldn't get a 4BLD success, but never got round to it :fp

Nevins you are on a roll! What was the memo?
And how do you memo coz im getting good memo time using letters but i need to up my game

I forgot the memo, but I do remember there is 20targets for centres, 21 for edges, 7 for corners. No parity on edge. I use letter pairs and make up words with them I group them in 4 for 1 group, 1 group for a finger so I'd make sure the groups go right. E.g If I have KWPL YNCK, I would read KiWi PooL in my mind with my thumb down, then YawN CooK with my index finger down. If I struggle to make word out of letter pairs, 3 letters or 4, I would just literally read that word and store it in the following finger. Its a weird memo method tho. (I mean the finger thing)

Ah so i do use the same memo, must be the execution that makes me that bit slower, i think because i use centre comms i take my time getting it right, r2 isn't a problem
 
OMG LOL. So close to sub 6! New PB again. 4BLD 6:01.13[2:55.38]


EDIT: I solve white top green front, OP for corner, r2 for edge and U2 for centre.
Corner, KWGA, YQLE
Kiwi GA(Audio), Your Quest LE(Audio)

Edge, TSYK, VWHC, JBFL, UPIA, GOMQ ND
This Yuck, Vow HC, Job Fool, Up IA, Go MQ, Andy.

Centre, RMIN, SAJO, VTBW, GL
Room IN, SAJO(Audio), Vet Bow, Good Luck

I consider this solve quite memo-friendly and has easy centres.

I'll be taking my time on 3BLD, I won't do as good in UKO I think, I'm switching to corner comms and TuRBo edges. Might switch to comms for 4BLD too, still doing lots of different sighted solve with it.
