I average around 2:00-2:20 on 3BLD. Do you guys think it's worth it for me to learn Eka/Orozco?

If you are serious about bld, then try learning 3-style. Both Orozco and 3-style uses comms but 3-style does it in a more efficient and is faster. I transitioned from m2/op to 3-style around the 2 min mark and recommend others too.

You can get sub-1 relatively easy with M2/OP. From what I've heard Orozco is a good compromise between 3-Style and not tons of algs, but I'd probably wait a little longer

I say go for it, learn Orozco or Eka if you want, and then use it to transition, or you can stay on it. I feel people don't like Orozco as a method itself, which I find odd, I quite like it.

Yeah, it seems like there's a lot of RUD turning in Orozco, and I'm a big fan of RUD turning.

I'm sure this question has been asked many times, but should I learn 3style edges or corners first? Which one is easier to learn/ will make a bigger difference in my times?

I'm a noob at 3BLD, so take this with a grain of salt. I think 3-Style corners is easier to learn and it will make a greater times in your solves (since M2 is fairly fast already).

Are there any tutorials or resources for solving non NxNs, like megaminxes, blindfolded?

Enoch Gray has a bunch of BLD tutorials on his YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJZt93WO-evfsfi7YlVmrQA

Yeah, corners is easier to learn because the algs are more similar. Edge comms have face interchanges, slice interchanges, and M' U2 M U2 type comms, so there's more going on. Also, assuming you use OP/M2, 3-style corners will make a bigger impact on your solves. Ultimately though, it doesn't matter since it's not like you have a comp coming up without enough time to learn both.

I would learn 2BLD first, just to learn the concepts of BLD.
Ok, don't have a 2x2, but I'll memo only the corners

Solving a cube blindfolded seems like a pretty difficult task, but from what I've heard, it's into that hard. I have tried multiple tutorials in the last day or two and just haven't gotten anywhere. I thought about just giving up on it, but I think I could do it. So, I am going to start getting serious about it. I doubt I'll see any fast improvement, but we'll just have to wait and see. If you guys have any tips that you could give me, I would GREATLY appreciate it. Please sub to my YouTube Channel and thanks for reading.

Please do not self promote on this thread.
My thoughts on Blind is that it is a super interesting event, that requires a lot of preparation.
I learned from watching jperm's video, and from asking him some questions that helped me at least successfully do two solves, one I fortunately caught on video.
I eventually gave up from frustration because of the amount of time it took to pick out all the pieces, write them down, create a mnemonic device, go extremely slow to avoid mistakes, only to open my eyes to a half solved(if that) cube.
I'm certain the mistake wasn't in the solve, rather with missing a step in set up. Parity seldom seemed to be come up.
I would spend 10 minutes setting it up then nearly that long "solving"
I just focused back on my speedcubing and let it go.
I may try again someday.

I pretty much gave up

Sorry. I originally had it on my own thread so it's technically not my fault. It got moved.

you can ask the mods to move it back. They should have a reason why they did it.
Is there an agreement on what is the best buffer for bigBLD centers? I know for 3BLD UFR/UF is considered optimal, so I want to use Ufr for x-center and either Uf or Ur for +-center to make it consistent with other piece types. Does anyone know if these buffers are good or bad?
