Where can I get a good explanation of what to do when the buffer piece becomes solved before I finish doing the edges? (Classic Pochmann)
I move it to an unsolved spot, but it seems like it comes up again and I find it extra work to try and memorize moving that piece multiple times.
Also, when I am memorizing I have a hard time remembering all the unsolved pieces that the buffer can be moved into.

Thank you.

It sounds like you already know exaclty what to do :
"knowing" your pieces will come with practice

Well, what I do is that I put my fingers on all the pieces that I've memorized, so when my buffer comes up, I just look for any piece that my fingers aren't covering. And once I've memorized all the pieces on a certain layer, I can take those fingers off of it to free up space.

how can i do parity with BH-corners/Turbo-edges?

Depends which order you solve the corners/edges, here's just one system for each order:

-If you solve edges first, you could finish the edges with UB and UL edges swapped. The parity alg will be solving a single corner Old Pochmann style.
-If you solve corners first, you could finish the corners with UBL and UBR swapped, then setup the last edge to a PLL algorithm (often R-perm).

MBLDers, what is your stock cube of choice for cheap, but decent?

 

[vcuber13]

how many do you plan on getting?

 

[Julian]

I don't really know. I'm not sure how many I'll be able to work up towards by Nats. We'll see, I guess.

Any good algs for UF>RF>BD? I've tried D' [R', D' M D] D; x' U [M' U M, D'] U' x; Uw [U M U', L'] Uw'; and D2 x [M', R U R' U'] x' D2, and I don't like any of these

z' R2 D R U' R' E R U R' d' R2 z

or

z' R2: [D R U' R', E]

x2 U r' (Ub PLL) r U' x2?

 

[jla]

x' y: [D, M' U M]

I'm not really used to using comm notation so tell me if I did something wrong

 

[cubernya]

x' y: [D, M' U M]

I'm not really used to using comm notation so tell me if I did something wrong

x' y D M' U M D' M' U' M y' x
If that isn't what you intended, you did something wrong

 

[jla]

That's what I intended
It solves the cycle UF>RF>BD

This is exactly what I do, you just have to get used to it.

is there a TuRBo equivalent for 4x4 centers and edges already listed out somewhere?

Bump?

Crappy, but works.

Don't know if what you are asking for exists but for centers commutators are pretty straigh-forward, no need to take an intermediate step.

For edges: You could take "std" algs for various slices and use set up move to bring 1 or 2 pieces onto that slice
example assuming you keep the standard r2 buffer Drf:
For the r slice you already know the comm from the r2 method
Move 1 or 2 pieces to Fru or / and Urb and solve with F r U r' d r U' r' d' F' and Fd r U r' d' r U' r' F'
