I've tried separately corners and edges, I haven't done it a lot, though.
I have no problem memorizing and executing corners, I have finished like 4 out of 6 right after my first success, with edges I have problems with both memorizing (many times when recalling my memo I find that I have twisted a piece in my memo and I have to re-memo it again) and execution (setup moves mainly)
I will follow your advice and keep practicing them separately until I'm under 2 minutes for each of them. Thanks!
I recommend you memo and execute like this, I learned this from a video by Noahaha, this is how I do it (and my best is a little below 4 minutes, it was a DNF but just because I thought there was parity when actually there wasn't):
For every corner 1 letter
2 Corners make 2 letters
2 Letters make a word (image)
Another 2 letters make another image
2 images interact which is easy to remember even after a long time, like DG BN - Dog eating banana or something, just imagine a big dog eating a banana in a really messy way, it will stick easily.
This way you remember 4 corners just by thinking about a dog eating a banana. Another 2 images interacting like this and you're done with the corners.
Use this method to memo all the corners, then move on to memorizing the edges: for this you don't need to use the images and you don't even want it to stick long: just make a long sentence out of the edges, for example if you have:
ECKOAXTHASJFS
Then it could be:
ECKO AXe THe ASeJ FaS
As you memorize them just start saying:
E, C, EC, K, O ECKO, A,X, ECKO AXe, ECKO AXe, T, H, ECKO AXe THe, A, S, J, ECKO AXe THe ASeJ, F, S, ECKO AXe THe ASeJ FaS, ECKO AXe THe ASeJ FaS, ECKO AXe THe ASeJ FaS, ECKO AXe THe ASeJ FaS
Then close your eyes and keep reapting the sentence in your mind, you can even physically say it. The sentence doesn't have to make sense, just easy to say and remember without getting confused. As you solve the edges the sentence will get shorter and shorter, after the first 4 edges and it's just AXe THe ASeJ FaS, after another 2 it's just THe ASeJ FaS, you'll be finished with the edges in a really short time.
After you're done with the edges, try to remember what you memorized for the corners, since you used images and the edges didn't take that long you'll be surprised how well you remember the corners.
Try this, first just keep doing the thing with the edges over and over. The first time I used this memo for edges I got 3 minutes easily for the edges, after a little practice I can do it in like 2 minutes, and I'm really slow when it comes to finding edges and knowing where to shoot after cycle breaks.
Perhaps the camera ran out of memory/battery?
