This is my second success using TuRBo edges and I broke my (3BLD) PB!!

2:36.57 D' R2 L2 B2 U' B2 D2 L2 U F2 D2 B R' U F' L' F L B R

I seriously thought that my switch from M2 to TuRBo was going to increase my times, but this is only my second success and it's a PB. Wow.

I really thought I have a better PB, but I guess all the other attempts were DNFs

Sweet! keep practicing

Thanks

First 3BLD success using TuRBo edges. I recently made the switch from M2 to TuRBo, and my times haven't increased at all, which is surprising.

Any suggestions for learning TuRBo?
I've tried to learn M2 multiple times, but I have a VERY short term memory. If I focus on something else I'll completely forget the first thing, which is why I constantly forget set-up moves (especially as they can be long and difficult at times)
Is it possible to switch straight from OP edges to TuRBo? If so, how difficult is it?

After 18 attempts i got my first success today! i used OP/OP (i know all m2 algs but i still make a lot of exection mistakes (mostly setup moves for LB and RB) so i havent switched to it yet) and memorized 18 targets and i did it in about 4 and a half minutes. (didnt actualy time myself just looked at the clock before and after)

My memorization:
corners: UV SO. I used audio here "oov so"
edges: WC JA GR KTS YQY DF. For the first part i memorized "WiCky (last name) JaBbed GRey KiTtenS. Then the YQY i merized by tapping and DF was just a flipped edge

Translation:
DBL DBR UBR FRD | DF-UF RD-UB LF-BR RF-BL-BU DL-BD-DL UL-LU

could any one possibly generate a scramble for me so i can store it somewhere and be able to recreate my first bld solve?

i think zanes tutorial does a good job of explaining setup moves so they are intuitive. I havent had a need to memorize any setup moves for both M2 and OP and i dont think you need to either. The m-slice algs for m2 arent that bad. UF and DB are 2 move algs that are repeated twice and FU/BD are really easy if you break them up right. FU: D' (M' [U R2 U'] M) [ U R2 U' ] D M2. then BD is just the same thing just execute the blocks in reverse order (the blocks mirror themselves like the word racecar) and swap D and D'. That just leaves the BU alg which doesnt really have an easy pattern isnt hard to learn either

I got a 2:49.xx solve between the 2nd and 3rd attempts but it was off by two edges really easy memo as well.

Just got a 3:32 mean of 3 and a 3:15 single. I was already in my bed and already a bit sleepy. I beat my old PB single by 20 seconds and got my first mean of 3 (lol I suck)

For 2x2, just look up and Old Pochmann corners tutorial. It's still really good to be already interested in BLD for a month of cubung though.

Session of 12 solves, I got my PB of 2:35.89. Unfortunately, my accuracy overall was a 42% success rate.
