Oh what about M D2 M' U2 M D2 M' U2 M2 ?
Edit: Oh ok
Edit2:
Or M' D2 M' U2 M D2 M' U2

Not sure if that works; Never did m2 and dont have a cube in front of me

 

[RyanReese09]

Ah so that will shoot to UF? And I just need to inverse for DB? Gotcha.

Hopefully

Note that it is just an 8 move comm with the m2 at the end / beggining

Yeah I saw :3.

It works, the first alg with M2 at the end.

It'd be sick if I got 4/5 successes on the 18th . Come to River Hill!

I am D

I am also hoping to get successes... I havent done one since I first got my success which is terrible, but I havent had the time really (I realize the irony of this as I am typing on the forum....)
Good luck! (P.S., Not sure if you knew my name or not, but I was the person who just friended you on facebook)

I was wondering who the Asa was. I assumed some Indian rando who friends every cuber in sight.

I'll find you and we'll chat .

Time to stop flooding this thread though.

Ok, Thank's. I know all algs from speedsolving, recognition then... =) =) =)

@Eric, true, it was spelling amnesia

 

[EricReese]

Right now I just make up letter pairs on the fly during a solve. I already have a typed/printed out letter pair list in my room. Would it be worth it to learn the letter pair list I have typed out?

Do you have to buy an official blindfold for a competition, or can you just use a towel/bandana?

Towel/bandana is fine as long is it can't be seen through.

There is no "official" blindfold.

Of course.

Yes.

Especially for multi blind; Say You have the word Mouse. Now, I might make that up for MS, and I would use it in a single for solve. I would not use it for multi blind though, because it might get confusing... Is it MS? Or MO? Perhaps a bad example.

(Now looking at that, I am changing my MS in my list from Microsoft to Mouse )

Urgh, ok I'll learn it. I had tried memo'in it before, I had got to like G's (probably forget a few of them obviously now). Thanks for the advice guys.

Use Mnemosyne or Anki. It's unbelievably helpful and you won't waste your time reviewing things you already know.

For all of you who use M2 or freestyle, how do you solve parity?

For all of you who use M2 or freestyle, how do you solve parity?

R-perm after corners, U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U + R-perm after edges.

But I know of 2 other ways.

 

[EricReese]

I use M2/OP so I solve corners first then I would do an R perm, then solve edges, then do U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U then R perm again, and its solved.


ninja'd ;-;

 

[NeedReality]

For all of you who use M2 or freestyle, how do you solve parity?

I solve for corners, then I do U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U (No R perm for me - I don't feel comfortable doing it). I just remember that the M slice will start wrong for each letter pair during a parity solve (M2/OP).

 

[cuboy63]

How about anyone who uses freeestyle/BH for corners(like Amos, Zane, Aron, Chris, Mike, etc.). How do you solve parity?
