    I started learning 3-Style and I made my own tool to parse Jack Cai’s sheets and create flashcards for the algorithms. I even made it generate the algorithms that Jack Cai marked as “inverse of …” by inverting said algorithm. Since it’s best to start with pure commutators, I made the tool replace all appearances of pure commutators other algs with the pair name. I think it’s very useful, much more intuitive and makes learning much faster. Hopefully I’m able to learn all of 3-Style before uni break ends.

    (Btw: I posted on the last discussion thread but it doesn’t seem to show up. I hope this one does)

      Sounds fun. I still don’t completely understand commutators so I never learned 3-Style. What method did you use before and what were your times?

      Strange. We did have a lot of issues at lemmy.world yesterday so maybe your post got caught up in that.

        My PB is 3:07 with M2/OP. I’m going against the usual recommendation of “practice a lot of memo before learning 3-Style” but I’ve also read a few comments against doing that saying to just start with 3-Style immediately. Also knowing full 3-Style just sounds amazing.

        Do you do BLD too? What are your times and method?

          I don’t do BLD. I learned it once a while back because I wanted to get an official time, and I managed to get a ~7 minute time at a comp. Since then I’ve never really practiced. I did OP I believe. I looked up 3-Style because I thought it was interesting but haven’t spent any time on it, or on understanding commutators.
