Method Choice

[cubing3751]

I am new to BLD. Should I learn M2/Old Pochmann first or 3OP?

Thanks in advance.

Most people say Old Pochmann since it is the basics of BLD.

Old Pochmann or M2 if you get it. It will let you get used to the "sticker memo" you'll need for more advanced methods.

 

[riffz]

I recommend Old Pochmann and then switch to M2 for edges once you get the hang of it.

I would definitely learn Old Pochmann first.

I already know the basics of Old Pochmann already though...

What's stopping you from actually start solving then?

I've never done BLD or looked into it, but is old pochmann just y-perm corners and comm edges?

y perm corners and t perm edges

I don't know..... I always felt that Old Pochmann was too basic... or my cube sucks.... Yeah, I think it is that my cube sucks.

Why should your cube's quality allow you to solve a cube with one method, but not another?

Maybe it's not the cube but the amount of moves Old Pochmann takes and the speed he can execute them with his cube. I use Old Pochmann for corners and I feel as if it is really inefficient.
If this wasn't what he meant, then I have no idea what he meant.

If you are new to BLD you shouldn't worry about speed at all.
Just practice to get memo and execution right.

If you already know Old Pochmann: can you actually succesfull BLD with it?

Some ways to reduce movecount in Old Pochman is to add some algs that shoot to different positions.
This can save a lot of set up moves.

Some basic ones for edges:
J perms shoot to UF and UB
"mod Tperm" shoots to LU

I'm sure you can find at least one mod Y perm in the forum too. Shoots to a different sticker on the FDR cubie...

That is what I meant.

I recomanded Pochamnn method because the memo and solve are simple. Try badmephisto`s tutorial.

I recommend his tutorial, but I strongly suggest that you do not memorize like he does.

How do you memorize then?
