Big Cube BLD Discussion

[Zane_C]

Centers would be too much for me to memo using auditory loop, but that's maybe just me. I'm thinking when I start practicing 4BLD I'll use auditory for corners, journey for centers and edges.

Well I also struggle with it, That's why I throw in some visual to aid me.

Anyone know of any bldcubebld tutorials on youtube made by current cubers? I found a couple made by people a few years ago that have pbs of like 20 mins for 4bld. I'm thinking of doing a tutorial for comm centres and r2/M2 edges. Or maybe I'll start out with a less ambitious clockbld tutorial. Any thoughts?

 

[Yes We Can!]

That'd be really awesome
I'm thinking about starting to do 5x5 BLD but first I'd need a proper centers method
As you are pretty experienced I would think you would do a good job.
Definitely do it!

What, you're still using T-perm? >_>

Like comms

 

[Yes We Can!]

I understand comms but I'm not very safe with those, so I couldn't imagine doing that BLD!

I find them easier bld than sighted because I remember setups (and which 3 pieces I'm cycling) much better when I'm bld.

I think it would be good if there was a thorough center tutorial by a top 4BLDer. I personally would be interested a clock BLD tutorial too.

Completely agree with this. Commutators are so much easier to do and to visualize for me when blindfolded. Doing them sighted always seems a bit harder for me.

I remember when I finished my first ever 4x4x4 BLD attempt in competition, at the 2007 Virginia Open. Daniel Beyer was sitting next to me, and I was off by just one 3 cycle or something. I remember staring at it when I was done, and in the overwhelmingness of it all, I couldn't even do the commutator to fix it. After I stared at it for about a minute, Daniel took it from me and fixed it. I'm sure if I had just memorized the letters and closed my eyes, it would have been easy to fix, but I couldn't handle fixing it while looking at it.

When I started learning 4x4x4 BLD, I always did commutators with my eyes closed, even from the very first try. I never actually watched them. It's only lately that I've started trying to get good at doing them while watching, and it's still harder for me.

I was considering making some BLD tutorial videos.

Don't take that as a promise

Will there be talking?

Obviously...

I don't know anything about M2, BH or bigcubes BLD
Currently I know pochmann and I want to first improve my memory method from images to full Person Action Object, master it using pochmann and then move to advanced methods.
If I do that, is it going to be useful for M2 , BH or bigcubes BLD?

You should at least learn M2 before you spend all that time on improving your memo. M2 is SO much faster than T perm, and it's very easy to learn.

thanks for encouraging me. but once I wanted too learn it all the video tutorials on youtube sucked. I wish I can find a good written one, print it and take it with me on the vacation of new year.

 

[Toad]

D-Sheppz please make a 4bld tutorial! I'd love it

 

[kinch2002]

Ok I have a slight problem. I'm leaving uni on Monday morning and I don't think I can finish a 4bld tutorial before then. I might try to film stuff at home, but it's much less likely to happen. If all else fails, you'll have to wait until January.
