What are your 4x4 BLD memo/solving methods?

[kinch2002]

Memo: Freestyle, with audioloop corners last
Execution: Freestyle corners (i.e. BH-ish but I can't quite do it atm ), comm centres, advanced r2 edges

I've gotten a lot of center DNFs....duno why.

More specialised centers practice it is then! I have YET to get a success, till now. Have you, Arlen?

Thank you for advice Tjen And yes, still haven't got a success yet. Hopefully soon

Well, what do you excute first ? Are you certain that everything you do before centers is actually centers-safe ? That's a very common mistake...

For 4BLD I first memo centers with letters, building sentences with them, then wings with the same system, than corners visual.
Solving: First corners with OP/BH, Centers with comms, Wings with advanced r2.

What do you mean, advanced r2?

Between the normal r2 algs I use some comms, setup hard cases to easier ones.

F.i.
DFr -> BRu -> DRb: U R' U' r2 U R U' r2 U R2 U'
DFr -> UFl -> FRd: U2 r2 U R U' r2 U R' U
DFr -> FDl -> LFd: l' U2 (r2 B L2 B' r2 B L2 B') U2 l

 

[DrKorbin]

DFr -> BRu -> DRb: U R' U' r2 U R' U' r2 U R2 U'
DFr -> UFl -> FRd: U2 r2 U R U' r2 U R' U
DFr -> FDl -> LFd: l' U2 (r2 B L2 B' r2 B L2 B') U2 l

DFr -> BRu -> DRb: R' U' r2 U R' U' r2 U R2
Explanation: do a setup R' U', than you have a 3-cycle DFr -> UBr -> BRu, and there are some cancelations.

BTW, does anybody use D R2 D' r2 D R2 D' r2 for DFr -> UBr -> URf ? It is 2 moves fewer than standard r2, but not very finger friendly, so I'm wondering if it is worth to get used to it.
And also, to those who use "advanced" r2: how do you do DFr -> URf -> ULb? DFr -> UBr -> DBl? DFr -> URf -> LUf?

For the first two cycles I don't have short cuts.

DFr -> URf -> LUf: U2 L' U r2 U' L U r2 U

 

[DrKorbin]

For the first two cycles I don't have short cuts.

DFr -> URf -> LUf: U2 L' U r2 U' L U r2 U

It is DFr -> URf -> FLu, not LUf (more exactly, it is it's inverse, but it doesn't matter)

1. U per special U'
2. Per special
3. U 8 move comm U'

I wouldn't actually do any of these myself, because that's too advanced for me to think of quick enough to be worth it in a solve. If I ever started learning specific cases like this, I wouldn't call it advanced r2 anymore - it just becomes freestyle because it's no longer based on r2.
