Don't worry, @abunickabhi recommends 3-style to every beginner.

3-style is intuitive.

3-style is intuitive.

Doesn't it also have over 1000 algs? Or do you recommend making comms on the fly?

Comms on the fly is good idea as well.

I would recommend knowing the 818 algs intuitively beforehand and drill those algs well.

 

[CubeLite]

I think I'm going to also train clock because I already know 7-simul flip from a while ago and I just did some solves and average around 20 but my turning is really bad and also to put the memo in turns is complicated and I think I could get faster than how I was with the clasic method in around 1 week

I just did 2x2 and got a PB2 single, PB3 ao5 and a PB ao12:

I tried to do Multi-BLD with 2 cubes and got 2/2, the second cube was also with guessing, so I'm proud that I guessed right

[bldcuber314]

Solving 2 cubes blindfolded is definitely a bigger achievement than guessing a letter correctly so be proud of that instead- congratulations!

You guessed a WHOLE CUBE AND SOLVED IT BLINDFOLded????

I memorised two words that had g but the first word had e, not g, and had to guess, and guessed correctly the letter e.

I also did some clock solves and already average 13 seconds with rarely any DNFs, and a sub 10 single

 

[CubeLite]

OMG, I got PB single in the weekly comp, the first sub 3 minutes solve, and also got a mean, which is nice.
Single: 2:50.25 seconds
Rest of the solves: 3:24.48, 3:51.14

I did another Multi-BLD attempt with 2 cubes but DNF one of the cubes by 2 twisted corners.

And I also dropped my clock times at about 10-12 seconds, with a 10 seconds ao5 in the weekly comp, I got today three 9 seconds solves and a PB single.

omg, i can't do it, I tried 2 cubes today, because yesterday I got 1/3 so I tried going back and got 1/2 just because on the second cube I didn't saw that the A/Q piece is fliped, so I didn't got trough it at all and the cube was unsolved by only 2 fliped edges.

Should I try for Multi-BLD 2 cubes until I'm comfortable or should I go to 3 cubes, and when I can do 3 go to 4 cubes and so on?

I'm at the exact same point for multi,and I'm only doing 3 cube attempts right now(I've had a 2 cube success)
