Visual.....

I said, I can't do visual fast...

Practice, practice, practice...........................

ok.... I just thought that somebody were destynated to get a good time with different memo method, and I thought that it wasn't possible to do visual fast for me...

@Inusagi: Several people (AlexC and Tim come to mind) do journeys really fast - sub-30. I can memo in 40 seconds on a good solve using letter pairs for the edges, and numbers for permutation and hexadecimal for orientation for the corners. Tim memos really fast with just single letter images, not image pairs. I'm pretty sure all of the common memory methods out there can work sub-1 with practice.

And yes, I suspect that Joey is right that you could do visual in sub-1 with more practice. It's mainly just practice.

@Alex: You're now sub-1. Don't you qualify for "OMFGSUB-1"?

No I don't I have never gotten sub 20 memo. My memo on my 57.52 was 21 seconds.

Ummm.... I don't do a journey for 3x3 blind. I only use that for multi. For 3x3 blind, I use four letter sound images for edges and visual for CO and CP. I believe this is what Alex Yu does too, so it is really fast. I average sub 35 and can get sub 30 quite often. My best is 21 seconds. For CO, I just sort of visually "see" it in my head. For CP, I tap the pieces in the order of the cycle. For edges, I combine four letters and make a word and I remember the sound of the word. E.g. T G A D could be t gad (tee gad (rhymes with bad))

I've got sub-20 memo with visual before, and average around 25-40s, but my execution sucks so my PB is 1:28, and I had like a 1:14 DNF. Visual gets much easier with practice, I can memo corners in under 10 secs almost all of the time.
