your exec is terrible. huge pauses in execution

Yeah I know.

whats the best way to do parity with fullBH and corners first?
I switch UBL and UFL with the last corner-target and at the end I do a J or R-Perm. Is there a faster way?

I switch UBL and UBR and then setup my buffer piece and last edge target to to upper layer and do T flip-T or R-perm.

examples:

if my last edge target is UL I'll do F2 y (R-perm) y' F2

last edge RD: f' F' (other R-perm) F f

last edge BD: M2 y (flip-T-perm) y' M2


I think you get the point from those examples

Any good algs for DF->FL->LD
and DF->BL->LD

 

[Ollie]

DF->FL->LD

Depending on which cube I'm on I usually do M2/r2, but a decent alg could be u L U' [M'] U L U' [M] U L2 u'

DF->BL->LD

Same again, but there is u' L' U' [M'] U L' U' [M] U L2 u

I'm going to be in the car for 12 hours. You think I can learn full corner 3-style?

Also, how to solve +-centers on a 5x5. I'm going to do a lot of bld.

Thanks.
Just found DF->FL->LD: S [L' : U M2 U'] S'
And DF->BL->LD: L U' B' (U2 M' U2 M) B U L'

I like those pretty much. even with S and B turns

You can use either U2 or r2 method , personally I prefer r2 ( easier for me )

Okay guys, this is a 3BLD question.
When I solve 3BLD I use M2 edges and Old Pochman corners. When I solve I solve corners then edges.
For memo purposes I am switching to edges first, but I can't figure out parity for edges first. (For corners first parity I would do the R perm and then after edges were done I would do U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U then another R perm)
Could someone tell me how to fix parity when edges are done first?
Thanks!

NEVER MIND. I figured it out.
Answer: If I do U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U which fixes parity and swaps the two edges used in the Y perm, the odd amount of corner swaps fixes it.
So corners first parity has 3 algorithms to fix and edge first parity has 1 alg to switch.
Good to know.

 

[Renslay]

No, corner first can be done with 1 parity alg as well.

Parity with edge first execution:
edges, [P], corners

Parity with corner first execution:
even number of corners (leave out the last corner), edges, [P], last corner

or:
even number of corners (leave out the last corner), edges, last corner, [P]

where [P] = U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U

If you have to ask about + centers on 5x5 you are not ready to learn full corner 3-style.
Commutators?

(For corners first parity I would do the R perm and then after edges were done I would do U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U then another R perm)

Where did yu learn this "R-perm - parity -R-perm"? I have read about people using this and I'm really wondering where this comes from.
It really makes no sense to swap your edges three times
R-perm swaps your edges
Parity swaps your edges + solves M slice
R-perms swaps your edges

No, corner first can be done with 1 parity alg as well.

Parity with corner first execution:
even number of corners (leave out the last corner), edges, [P], last corner

or:
even number of corners (leave out the last corner), edges, last corner, [P]

where [P] = U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U

or:
corners, [P], edges (where you shoot M slice targets to the opposite target)

I have just started to learn 3BLD. So far I get the concept. I watched various tutorial video's. Right now I am practicing edges only. Baby steps The problem I run into is that I seem to forget the set up moves that I did. So when have to un-do the setup move I make mistakes. What other than 'practice' can I do to over come this problem?

Concentrate more. (And practise.)
You should always use the same set ups so you don't have to think which one you just used. You propably use Classic Pochmann which means there are only 1- or 2-move setups (except for LU which needs a 3-move setup). So as long as you know which piece you just solved, you should be able to know which setup you used.

Thanks, yes I use OLD Pochman. This is what I use for set ups:

From tutorial BYU:

UR none T none
RU L d' L T L' d L'
UF none Ja none
FU l' Jb l
UB none Ub none
BU l Ja l'

DF l2 Jb l2
FD l' Ja l
DL L2 T L2
LD D l' Ja l D'
DB l2 Ja l2
BD l Jb l'
DR D2 L2 T L2 D2
RD D' l' Ja l D

FL L' T L
LF d' L T L' d
BL L T L'
LB d L' T L d'
BR d2 L' T L d2
RB d L T L' d'
FR d2 L T L' d2
RF d' L' T L d

But with my eyes closed I kind of free style the setups.. I think there lies the problem. I should memorise the setups so that it becomes an automechanism.

Or maybe pause before doing a setup and think about it... it shouldn't be too hard to come up with the optimal setup.

I always used outer layer turns if that was possible. For example the setup of DL would be L2 and never l2, the setup of BR would be d2 L' ad never d2 l', and so on. Use this or a similar set of rules to decide which setup is prefered for you if you can choose between more than one easy setups.

How do I stay quieter while doing blind solves?

Whenever I solve(not that often), I'm always saying what I'm thinking out loud. It's gotten to the point where I need to do BLD solves in my room with the doors closed so I don't bother anybody.
