There is blindfolded help thread already but I have many questions so I decided to make a new thread. If I did wrong, please move this to existing thread. Or this thread can be used for other cubers that are switching to 3-style.
Sorry for bad English because I'm not native English-speaker.
So, my questions are,
1. Switching buffers
I'm currently using UBL/DF buffers since I'm using OP/M2. (and DFr for wings)
So I'm considering for switching buffers to UFR/UF because I heard they are bit better and more algs are available than UBL/DF. And learing corner comms first because M2 for edges is just fine for me now. (I'll learn edge comms after corners.)
Q1-1 How much time did you spend to switching buffers?
I do bigBLD too, so more questions.
Q1-2 There are also corners in 4BLD&5BLD. Should I wait until I can perform corner comms fine or just practice without corners?
Q1-3 In the long term, my buffer for edges will be switched o UF. And then should I switch buffer for wings?
Because If I switch wing buffer to UFr, completely different set of stickers are to be recognized compared to DFr buffer. This will make me confusing. Do I have to overcome or just stick to DFr?
2. Execute order
I'm using letter pairs and know concept of comms but I'm confusing which piece should executed first.
For example, UFR-UBL-UBR is
[l': [U, R' D2 R]]
and first U moves UBR first. And in my letter pair, there is UBL first.
And UFR-UBL-FUL is
[l': [U2, R' D2 R]]
this time, UBL moves first and there's UBL first too in letter pair.
Of course I can exectue correctly if I think a bit, but it takes quite long especially UFR piece moves during setup.
Q2 There are some tips for recognizing what order to execute comms correctly or I have to drill and practice a lot to be comfortable and that's the only way?
3. Parity
I execute corners first.
Q3 So if there is parity, (targets are odd number) Is it right execute comm last target and random target, (for example, UBR) finish edges, and setup to one of PLL algs?
I'm dealing parity awkwardly now, but I have to fix this in future.
Extra information of me
3BLD 1:10ish avg/ ECCE order/ currectly using OP/M2.
