Curunír's 3BLD progression thread | quitting 3bld :(

My first 2/2 was 14 minutes lol. When I was averaging 3 minutes on 3BLD.

well I average like 35 seconds so its not really a comparison

So I have a comp in 9 days and the last time I did a 3bld solve was in November. Is there a chance I get a success?

Yes, although it would help if you practiced a lot this coming week.

Yeah but I know M2 but can’t get success with it and totally forgot OP for edges. So I feel like unregistering

I think you can do it. I would say just try and relearn M2 as fast as possible because it’s really easy, no real algs needed (except for C, I, S, and W) and the setup moves are very intuitive. You know how to solve corners, correct?

I know M2 and corners but I don’t know why but can’t get successes with it

Try taking a video of your solve and seeing where you messed up, you could also post it on the forums if you can't find the issue. Here are some M2 setup moves I find more intuitive for the side faces(L and R faces)

H- u' L' u (M2) u' L u

E, F, G- Do an L move to setup to H.

N- u R u' (M2) u R' u'

M, P, O- Do an R move to setup to N.

I find these setup moves better as they are easy and intuitive, plus they are fingertrickable and you don't have to rotate.

I do all of these and I still mess up EVEN WILL SIGHTED. I’ll just relearn op

Do you how to do I/S and C/W?

 

[bldcuber314]

Do you how to do I/S and C/U?

*C/W. Yeah, this is a pretty easy mistake to make. Also forgetting to do parity when sighted.

 

[JDAW6]

Do you how to do I/S and C/W?

I know everything EXCEPT when parity happens

 

[BVCuber13]

I know everything EXCEPT when parity happens

Bruh it’s just D’ L2 D M2 D’ L2 D
Do it after edges and before corners

Do I do this every solve?

You do it just when you have an odd number of letters for edges and corners, when you have an even number of letters for edges and corners, you don't do it

Ok the thing is I am practicing only M2 edges and just can’t get successes. I am 99% sure I will be unregistering for bld

 

[Garf]

Yeah. I mean, when you are memoing edges with parity, you can swap the UB and UL edges and say that WO becomes A/Q and WB becomes D/E. In other words, when you get to one edge, you memo as the other edge. You end up getting an even amount of edges, compared to an odd amount of corner swaps. Then what happens is that during the solve, the edges will be swapped and you don't have to worry about parity as much.

What I'd suggest is that when you memo for edges, count the # of corner swaps you need to do before memoing edges. That way, you can practice doing parity that way. That helped me with parity a bit.

Just try to do some solves where you write down the letters

I am dnfing by 5e every time. I have no confidence in this event
