[Unofficial] My first 2x2x2 BLD Video

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Started practicing about a week ago.

There are two solves in this video. The first is a slow one, 1:18, which is why i trimmed it. The second is one i did earlier tonight. Let me know what you think

EDIT: Whoops, i didn't see the gallery. Could a mod please move this for me Thanks!

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

That bad eh?

 

[ShadenSmith]

Haha... I like your scarf!

Seriously though, those are some fun solves to do. I do them a lot to practice corners. You're about 30 seconds faster than me though. Keep it up!

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Hahaha thanks!! A girl made it for me back in high school. Aah, good times.

Thanks

 

[ShadenSmith]

You're quite welcome


what method do you use for your corners?

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

I THINK it's called Old Pochmann, but i may be wrong.

I first orient the corners. And then, basically, each corner has a number, and i just place the corner that's in slot 2 (UBR) into it's correct place by putting that place into the third slot (UFR) and then doing a T-perm, and then putting that corner back in it's place. I just repeat that process until i'm done

NOOO! That is old pochmann with pre-orient. Possibly the worst method! 2-cycles AND orientation! Should_never_ be done

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Hmmm, well, that's the method i learned for 3x3x3 BLD. What method are you talking about? Could you perhaps give me a link?

 

[joey]

I'm talking about the method you're using. If there is a link to it, it should be banished from the interwebs.

I just saw the times and ignored this thread. I've averaged faster than this the first time I've tried old pochmann corners.
But preorient!? WTF!?
Just J and Y perms without orientation! It makes execution and memo easier.

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Well could you guys maybe give me a link to the method i should do?

Constantly telling me how crap MY method isn't helping me.

 

[joey]

www.stefan-pochmann.info is pretty good.

 

[ShadenSmith]

I use 3-cycle for my corner. That shouldn't be too much of a change for you, it still involves pre-orienting. You just use A-perms and solve 2-3 pieces at a time (depending on where you are in the cycle).

Shaden, can you elaborate or provide a link? I'm trying to learn the same thing that dae_ja_voo is and I don't want to learn something that will hold me back when i start 3x3 BLD.

 

[ShadenSmith]

This is the guide I learned from.

However, I use M2 for edges now.

I'm in the process of learning M2 for edges as well. I've done 3x3x3 BLD using a different method but edge memo on that method was just not for me, so now i'm giving M2 a shot.

Does anyone has a link to an M2 tutorial OTHER than the one of Stephen's site?

 

[ShadenSmith]

Eric Limeback's tutorial helped me a lot.

I think he discusses edges in part 2 or 3.
