5x5 BLD guide needed!

[modem]

cant find with speedsolving/com or friendly links posted (

founded 4x4 BLD some guides. it is the same way to solve?

... or will be pleased to hear the advise for 5x5 BLD.

Thnx.

PS Skills: 3x3, 3OP (Macky's method + advanced) sub 3, memo visual+PAO+etc.

Did you search?

didnt

file name content no "5x5" so coud't find by websearch lol

thnx

There's a couple of very useful tutorials on commutators for big cube BLD in the How-To subforum. You'll have to dig way back though, they're pretty old.

there should be no problem solving a 5x5 Blindfolded if you can solve 3x3 and 4x4 Blindfolded, and let's say if you also got the ability to think a bit on your own ;-)

3x3 only ...

Now thinking about 5x5 %)

I want to jump through 4x4, or must first be acquainted with the methodology for 4x4?

 

[hippofluff]

why would you skip 4x4 BLD?

Not necessarily, but all the moments you need to learn for 4x4BLD you need for 5x5BLD. So it seems simpler and the logical way to do it.

The main new thing about big cubes blind are doing the centers (and I know of no other way than commutators).

assume that the decision of the 5x5 is a combination of 3x3 + 4x4. Thus, solving the Professor, I shall possess technique for the 4x4 automatically.

will it work?

Yes, absolutely it will work. When doing typical blindsolving, a 4x4x4 is just a subset of a 5x5x5. I often console myself on some failed 5x5x5 BLD solves by noticing that, while it was a failed 5x5x5 BLD, it was still a successful 4x4x4 BLD (if all I missed were + centers and/or central edges). If you can solve a 5x5x5 BLD, you need to do nothing extra to know how to solve a 4x4x4 BLD. The biggest difference is that with a 4x4x4 BLD you can reorient the cube to make less work for yourself, where you can't do that with a 5x5x5 BLD (unless you use blah's suggestion, which takes a bit of work to learn to do).

 

[modem]

thnx a lot for answers

I will begin to practice according to your hints %)

 

[Ville Seppänen]

The first big cube I solved blindfolded was the 5x5x5, simply because I didn't have a 4x4x4. So yes, you can do it first, but it is a lot more to memorise than a 4x4x4 so it can be really frustrating.

The main new thing about big cubes blind are doing the centers (and I know of no other way than commutators).

blablabla

U2 is/uses commutators.

 

[DennisStrehlau]

Well, i think U2 is the best.
My accuracy is pretty good with U2.
If you have any questions, especially about breaking into new cycles on the U-Face, feel free to ask, cause this is quiet tricky.

Greetings...Dennis

 

[Ellis]

Are there any guides on U2 or websites? I'm assuming there are probably some here on the forum but I haven't searched yet because U2 is a hard term to search for.

I'm only seeing a short explanation as an alternate method with no examples. Am I missing something?

 

[byu]

Isn't there an example solve at the end?

 

[Ellis]

Ah yes, you're right. I didn't even look because he was just giving it as an alternate, I didn't expect there to be an example. Thanks.

 

[byu]

No problem
