2. When would you suggest learning M2 edges? (See my signature for how many BLD solves I've done.)
anytime you want to. M2 is so much faster than T perm edges and really does not take that much effort to get used to.

Not a very efficient memo method. I recommend using the color method for the edges (make a story or scene out of the words) in Old Pochmann. Then for M2 you label the spots where the edges belong. That way you won't have to learn whole new labels. Remember you can use J perms along with T perms too.I just tap the locations in order and it gets forced into temporary muscle memory. I think I'll label all 24 locations soon and then learn M2 shortly afterwords. As for my BLD times, honestly, I only timed my first DNFs and my very first success, other than that, I have yet to time myself.

I disagree. From what I've heard, visual memo is one of the fastest memo methods around for single cubes.
Do "people" say that you can't get sub-60 with move optimal BH edges? A lot of people saying that this isn't the second best edge method, while speed optimal is the best? How many claims M2 is faster than pure BH-edges? And what would you have "proved" by doing sub-60?
I'm just being weird and trying to prove a strange and mostly irrelevant point that move optimal BH edges can be fast enough to get a sub-60 single, even if non-optimal algs are faster.
I couldn't imagine M2 would be faster, but maybe that's just me. And please do not give responses only with "This cuber uses M2, and he's so good", because you could probably be sub-60 with any commonly used method.
Anyway; My recommends is that you start with move optimal center safe edges, except given U-perms and M'U2MU2, and then expand to non-center safe, and then non-move optimal.
I haven't kept statistics, so this is purely anecdotal, but generally, it feels like most of my sub-1:10 solves are ones where I use a lot of BH edge cases. If I have to do many extra moves, I generally can't sub-1:10. Or at least, it feels that way.
Dude! How many journeys do you have?
I'm currently trying to learn one journey of 100 places (which is 10 groups of 10 places, based on the city where I live and places I go). Am considering using various "parts" of this when doing memo so that you get used to using all of it and don't over-use any.
Wow man, you must have a lot of journeys. Can you give a brief overview?
I think letters are faster.
Source: I'm fast at memo.
My assumption is "If there is one unsolved corner at the end and it needs a clockwise twist, this means your buffer corner will need an anti-clockwork twist". This thinking is correct, yes?
@Chris and Mike: what are your average movecounts for 3bld? And if you've reconstructed fast solves, what's your lowest known movecount?
Is there any worse?Any better approaches/algorithms for doing this?
InterestedI recently wrote down what I think is the fastest algorithms for orienting any corner with UBR, and if there's an interest I could upload it?
Me tooInterested![]()
I got 121. Your edge flip and corner twist were a little more efficient, and your parity was significantly better than mine.Solve #1
Total is 114 moves.
I got 95. You twisted corners and flipped edges more efficiently than me, and you saved a few moves with pure BH edges over me.Solve #2
Total is 89 turns.
I bet it's not. You had flipped edges and twisted corners. Add a couple of 8-move 3-cycles and remove the twisted corners and flipped edges, and you easily go sub-80, with no solved pieces.This would probably represent closer to my lower limit on a solve to be honest.
I got 123 and 85 moves for those scrambles.
Try this scramble: D' B2 R2 U B2 R2 U B2 R2 B2 D F D L2 U2 R D2 U F2 U F'
Started counting moves for Old Pochmann on Chris' first scramble and gave up counting around 150 as I was still doing edges...
