Any tips for letter pair images for corners and audio edges??

You should have a letter scheme, and learn your letter scheme by heart. If you're a beginner, I recommend, not that I am a pro, (I am a beginner myself), but I would suggest learning in letter pairs for corners AND edges. Don't take my word for it though!

Oh, I get it now. Problem is, I think I wasn't supposed to apply the parity algorithm, since I was using scrambles that were only scrambling edges.
I'm really struggling here. Here's the the scramble: U2 M' U2 M. This perfectly represents the problem I am having. DF has to go to UB and UB has to go to DF. When, and how, in my memorisation, should I shoot to UF ? (The UF edge is unsolved in the scramble)

If your bufer is DF, the cycle is UB - UF. I do it: M2 (shoot to UB) and M U2 M U2 (shoot to UF when you are after M2). Done. No parity.

There are two algs for shooting to UF:
- U2 M' U2 M' if UF is first in the pair
- and M U2 M U2 if UF is second in the pair (when you shoot it after M2).
The same algs are for shooting to DB but you do it inversely.

Ohhhhh damn! I was shooting to the wrong one, thanks for the answer man, saved me. Thanks a lot. Now it works haha
 
Can someone please help/explain the M2 edges setup moves?
I really want to learn M2 to get faster at 3BLD, but I can't get my head around the set up moves.
When looking at the cube, I can memorize fine, but when it comes to solving it takes me a few seconds to think about how to set up the pieces without disturbing the rest of the M layer.
The most difficult ones I find are the pieces that are already in the M layer. If someone could link me to a list of simple algs which get the desired piece (or sticker) into the buffer position (UB) then I would be very grateful.

You don't do the pieces in the M layer in the same way you do other pieces. Stefan has a list of his setup moves here.
(I didn't like how he did the M slice pieces, so I learned from here instead)

Look in the description of cubing worlds tutorial :)
 
I know how to blindsolve, i've had successes a few years ago, but lately when I decided to actually yractice, I keep having trouble with memo. I find it really hard to visualize my images so I can remember. Do you have any tips/techniques to do this? Or a different strategy that doesn't involve visualizing?

Get good letter pairs [emoji8]

How did you guys find you sweet memo method that works great for you, and what method do you think is best???
Click to expand...

Well letter pairs are generally considered the most effective way.

Then you could use loci/journey method for slightly slower but longer term memorizing (I do this for 5bld and multi) OR sentences for little faster memorization ( I do this for 5&4bld) but it's not as long term and secure as loci/journey (at least for me it isn't) OR you can use audio for fast and very short term memo (I do this for corners of 3,4&5bld)
 
I mean how do you build it in your memo system. In the solve I didn't count the targets.

I need a easy trick to memo parity. I often forget it.

I have one image that I use when I get parity. I know it's none of my usual images, and I'm even less likely to confuse it with a normal image because it always comes at the end of my corner and then edge memo. That way I can be certain I have parity when I come to execution.
