Congrats on the first solve! Huge milestoneLearned the 3BLD method on Sunday. Yesterday, I tried very slowly on edge swaps and corner swaps separately, and it worked (took me almost an hour in total)! Today on my bus to work, I tried memorizing both at the same time but failed. On the way back I finally got it right! It just took me a long time (~20 mins mem + ~8 mins exec) to solve it but I am so happy! I think I will start to do more, and record myself!
I went very slow on the memo; it could have been like 3x faster if I wanted LOL, but I took it slow because why rush on a first attempt. My 2nd attempt was very close: 3 cycle on centers and 2 corners remainingyeah that is good and it was a fast time for your first attempt
I have not yet got a success but have had a few close ones and all my attempts have been slower than that
I would advise you just do a full attempt as after a few it will seem quite manageable as the memo is equivalent to a 2.5 cube multi bld(this happened like last month but I forgot to post about it I guess)
Got my second 4BLD centres success and managed to solve the rest of the cube in three more looks, making for a four-look 4×4×4 solve. First look was centres, second look was most of wings (gave up because I realised there was something wrong with my memo; luckily all of what I did recall+execute was correct), third look was corners and wings, fourth look was to notice that I did the very last edge comm the wrong way and so I redid that. There were five or so cycle breaks in the wings, which was kinda annoying and probably threw me off when I was memoing. A three-look solve is very doable if I don't mess up, but a two-look solve or even a full 4BLD success still seem quite distant.
