It's good but I suggest starting from EO, inverse/NISS. These techniques are independent of blockbuilding and they help you a lot with a skeleton/solution.
My question is: what is the fastets solve you've ever heard?
The fastest I've heard is this:
Brief update about my 3bld. I've finished learning algs with UF buffer and I used to different order of doing 3bld. I was doing Edges Corners memo and Corners-Edges execution till switching from DF to UF. Now I use CEEC and I'm fine with that. I had a comp last month and I got 1:32.97 with UF...
In my opinion, age doesnt matter for being sub15.. Yes, you need few years to master your f2l, but for sub30 solves it's enough to practice and used to 41 basic cases. Of course young people has a greater ability to learn new things needed in speedcubing - like TPS - but for sub30 you dont need...
I had first sub10 solve with 9.97 time. Scramble: D R2 L' U' B L' F B2 L' F2 L2 D2 B2 L2 U L2 U' R2 L2 U' R2 I cant reconstruct last two pairs. It was OLL skip I predicted with Ua perm.
I thought I'll let you know. I like UF as a buffer in 3bld. As well as new memo/exe order CEEC. I got first sub-1 yesterday 59.66. 5 comms for edges and 4 for corners. I have to learn algs. :)
I was talking with few top blinders and it's personal.
I'll see what happens after some time of practice. Maybe I'll back to EC-CE.
UF.
Sad to hear about triple DNFs in both big blindes, Mark.
Moreover - I gave a try for CE memo and EC execution with UB-UL switch for parity and it looks very promising. After 2 days and around 150 solves my times are down to 1:30-2:30 range with some nice 30-40 memos. I think this order CE-EC is much better: corners in a long term memory are easier to...
I have only sessions with both memo and execution. My execution with DF in full solves was between 20-45. But my mistake giving stats with UF is that I looked only for succesfull solves. Full solves no matter DNF or OK are 1:10-2:00 but it happens sometimes 3 minutes.
