Double posting again... People please get PBs :'(

First ever 6BLD attempt and it was pretty damn close!
WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2018-01-08%2Bat%2B18.32.55.jpeg

Off by 10 obliques, and 2 wings. Probably mistakes during memo, or during execution; obliques are pretty hard lol
Those 2 wings idk why they were unsolved, really. Maybe there was a 2cycle I overlooked or something.
Time was 25:58, memo was 16:31.

Just so @G2013 doesn't feel alone :p

This is technically an achievement because it's my first sub-30 single. But since I got the incredibly lucky scramble out of a FB thread (on the BLD Support Group) it kinda feels cheaty, lol.

Also please excuse my superbly bad Edges. It was mostly done using M2, as you can tell, and I took a little shortcut with the B Moves to cut down on the long algs.

wow, you did a float and 2e2e?? That's crazy. Do you float a lot? Seems like you must be super comfortable with it if you did it on a PB single

Also did you actually solve UFL so that it was twisted to force a better 2-twist alg?

I float pretty much edges 3cycles only unless there is something else really easy - This session I was actually working on floating more than just 3cycles, so not super comfortable with 2e2e.

As for the corners, I saw how easy the corners were and realized that an eperm would permute everything. I didn't purposely make UFL twisted. That's just what happened.

Also, this solve was PB memo for sure, sub 9, but I didn't split it.

What is a float?
I was going to answer with something stupid but I decided against it :)

Basically, when you have to break into a new cycle, instead of using your normal buffer, you would switch Buffers. This saves a letter pair and usually it is done with a 3cycle, but you can do it with other things too. (heck, you could even float the whole solve)

EDIT: I forgot to mention that usually it is recognized visually and done at the beginning of execution, but if you are comfortable you can do some really cool stuff with it.

93 moves in 14.57 = 6.38 tps

EDIT: ended up turning it into a 27.09 pb ao5 :)
really proud of that mean of 3 in the beginning too, close to pb and it was on below average luck overall

avg of 5: 27.09

Easy scramble, slightly botched execution, first sub-3 success! (also used a cube cover to practise for the first time)

1. 2:51.964+ B2 U' R2 B2 D2 B2 D' F2 L2 R2 U B' U2 F R F U2 L U' R U' Fw' Uw2
(z' y2)
[B D: (R U2' R' U2' R U R' U')4] // CO (did the wrong alg, then fixed it by doing it again)
[R F2: U M' U2' M U] // UF-UL-FR
[B' L B: F R U R' U' F2' L' U' L U F] // UF-RU and UB-BD
[x2 M2: U' M' U2 M U'] // DL-DF-DR
[z' U: r U R' U' r' U2 R U R U' R2 U2 R] // flip BR, DR
[B': (R U R' U')3] // sexy move is sexy
[D2 y': (R' F R F')3] // a sledgehammer is fine too
D R2 D' L2 D R2 D' // commutator

memo: 1:30.362
exec: 1:19.602
+2 because I didn't want to think about whether I had to finish with L2

(yes, that's 3OP 2OP 2.5OP corners + freestyle edges, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing lmao)

I struck gold!

After almost 30h traveling by bus and some of the craziest trips I've ever had, I made it in time for 3BLD and not only I got my first official mean, but also an official PB and first place!

I'm stoked!

Also NR 10 / Top 30 CR for Single + Mean :D

21.95 solve in a very noisy environment, on cam! Pretty proud to get that, to tell the truth. I got an 18.4 some solves before that one, though, LOL, but not on cam... also it was handscramble over a DNF, so meh.
