3x3x3 OH BLD would be cool

Rules same as BLD & OH mix together

Think just how much time that would take, though. Experienced BLD methods use slice moves frequently. Not feasible imo.

And about Skewb, seeing a 5-move intuitive solution seems like a bit of a stretch even with today's fastest Skewb solvers. I honestly don't think Skewb will see sub-5 averages for a long while simply because of the turning style of the puzzle. And I'll certainly never see a sub-4 Skewb average.

I personally think there would be way too big of a gap for DNFs, because dropping the cube could happen. I think that Square-2 should be implicated into the WCA. However, not many people have Square-2s at all.

I agree on Square-2 since now there's the cubetwist and Calvin brand Square-2 also working on making one 90% done on it

Averages like those have happened before (multiple times) without even seeing the intuitive solution: First step -> Done, 3-4 times out of 5 solves.

Quite wrong I think, it is just like regular OH, people use different algorithms that are easier to maneuver one handed. Here is an example. Credit to Timothy Sun:

yes that is the OH BLD that I want

But OH BLD is totally pointless. It's the same reason some people want 7x7 gone- it's basically the same thing as BLD. And they both have their own separate events.

I wasn't aware of this. This is insane =O

aron has one slightly faster as well.

Oh man I forgot about this :P

The Skewb would be nice, though I would personally like to see the 2x3x3 and the 2x2x3 cuboids.

But then it would be World Cube and Cuboid Association :P
