I know what you mean. But i mean solving first gives you a faster memorization.Whatever. I just tried some different methods for memorizing and right now i think the oldschool method is the best
I start with one image for edges, memorize all the edges and just go on with corners. Then i solve them the same way. So i have one streak of images (~10-12 images) and just solve them. I just realized, that i have the fastest execution that way and i almost never forget any images. Its funny how simple it sometimes is. But i had to go thru some different ways of memorizing to see that THIS easy way is the best way for me. Even better than memorizing corners for some seconds and just execute them "while forgetting". So i am happy that i tried different things because now i know that i dont have to think about other ways/methods that MIGHT work better for me..
I dont even use any locations or so any more. I just memorize the images, take a look on the first 2 edges after finishing memorization to make sure that i didnt forget the first image and then it works like a domino effect.
I even think about executing the parity in a new way: I just execute the parity algorithm after finishing edges OR just between solving the different corners when i stuck. That way, i use the time, while thinking about the next corner.

Obviously different things are best for different people. I'm just crazy about audio edges =D

What are the best 3x3x3 BLD avg solvers? (memo + execution of course)
Like when they go for safety solves i mean.
If someone would bet i cant solve the cube blindfolded in under 2 minutes, i would probably bet on that. Because even if i take my time i would be sub 2 minutes for sure (if i wont totally mess up).
I guess there are a lot of cubers who would bet on solving the 3x3x3 BLD sub 1 minute for sure, no matter how hard the scramble is, right? Or even faster ones??

One answer BLD question thread blind
I would go for a minute and I average below 45 so I imagine people who average 30 would go for 50 seconds.

That sounds right. Marcell,Haiyan and a couple others would probably be safe with sub-40

Awesome..
Must be so great to know that you always solve the 3x3x3 BLD sub1..
Of course you can do a mistake but you know what i mean. You could also go for a sub10 minutes 3x3x3 BLD solve and still mess up because you do a mistake or the cube slides away or anything like that..
But sub1 in avg must be..WOW..i REALLY want to get there.
But i am on a good way i think. Today i already had 8 sub1 solves. And i got my first sub1 one month ago..

When using OP for blindsolving, it is the same sticker on the corner when it is for example UFR and URF, it doesnt have anything to say which order the two last sides are in?

You are correct. It does not matter. It is the U sticker of that piece. In terms of symantics, I think UFR is more proper and was used in Chris hardwick's list, but others use URF. I still like to think of it as URF since my lettering scheme wraps around the pieces clockwise.

I dont know about any written guide but i think a lot of people learned it by watching Zanes videos.

Otherwise i could help you if you want to. I didnt write a tutorial yet but i could help you because you only need help for the M-slice edges. So you already understand the basic concepts of M2.
Let me know..
Greetings, Dennis
The main reason I want a written guide, is that the internet here is so slow that loading a youtube video takes twice as long time as watching it (in low quality).
Btw, I don't know how to solve parity with M2 either.
From what I understan, you have to keep track of if you have done an odd number of M2's or not when solving those m-slice edges?
It would be great if you could help me

Yeah, you are right. I will send you a message later. Parity is the easiest part. I dont think that there is any BLD method that handles parity easier than M2.

You even quoted him "I would prefer a written guide"...and you post a link to the video.
Besides that he already knows about the video. You have to read first before you double post something.

I learnt old pochman a few months ago, did a few successfull solves of like 10 mins plus and got bored and quit. I have tried again and still get it just fine, but it just bores me so me so much that I want to try a different method as it might give me the prod that I need. Being such a noob at blindfold is this a good idea? If so what method should I learn? My least favourite part of solving is the corners. My current memo i have assigned a letter to each edge piece, and each corner piece and use a story through my house with two objects in each room.

M2 for edges. And if you are a beginner, use pochmann for corners. When you can solve corners in 20-25 seconds, star looking for another method. And when you memorize, you should put more than 2 objects in each room. At least 4.
