Suggestions on how to get faster at 3x3 & 3x3 bld?

U is the buffer so you never actually memo it. Only memo A, then do the parity alg

Thanks so much!! (idk what else I would've done lol)

Quick beginner question: (I was wondering if anyone ever thought of doing M2 "from the back" so that instead of rotating upwards to solve the pieces of the L and R sides it could be solved with F moves)

For L and R sides you can also use wide moves, e.g. for M, you could do R u R u' M2 u R' u' R'

I find that wide u moves only are faster for h and n, or is there a faster way to finger trick them for the others?

Also, do you guys find better to memorize a person for a letter pair or an object? (for corners since its visual) (or both?)

Probably stick to H and N with wide moves I personally find M to be better with a rotation. It doesn’t matter though just do what’s easier for you.

M2 isn’t hard to learn, I got only 3 pure OP successes before switching my edges method

I’m still new to memo so others will have better advice but I mostly try to make objects but if someone’s name strongly corresponds to a letter pair and it’s easy to remember I’ll use that. Often mixing both will make visual easier imo since it can be people interacting with objects but honestly just do some solves and practice since that’s the only way to find out tbh

thanks, same here (also learned M2 right away). Also, quick question that has been bugging me for M2: If I do the alg for I (speffz scheme) twice and get that scramble cube for some reason when I memo it, it comes out as I I, which doesn't solve it. I am wondering if I'm doing anything wrong (I have flipped the last letter already). Also another question is what time would you guys reccommend switching to audio memo for edges? Thanks and sorry for my beginner questions

If you scramble the cube by doing the alg for I twice, then memo then your memo should be SI so you should do the alg for S twice to solve. I'd recommend switching to audio once you can remember your audio memo, and it's faster than images. Don't choose a target time before you switch to audio, just experiment with it
