Hmm.. The small multi at the end seems interesting to me.. If I get down to practising more multi(which I really should) I'll try implementing that from now on in my solves.. I guess I fall in the overly safe category now because I think 15+cubes shouldn't be a stretch for me as my exec is fairly decent with M2/3-style (I mainly set up to corner cases I'm familiar with but I'm gradually expanding to full 3-style).
Thanks!

I definitely recommend having a 'schedule', but I've had mixed results with doing 2/3/4 cubes at the end of an attempt. I always stick to one cube at the end and dedicate the majority of my energy and focus on the main bulk of the multi.

Experiment with both ideas

1st BLD success (3rd attempt) I think it was 12 mins or something using OP/OP...

A couple of tries later I got 5:46.30! Then right after that I got 6:01.07

Well... This is so hard to admit but probably pretty obvious, I have faked some solves in the past. I am a ****ing idiot for doing so and I regret it greatly. I Have wanted to come clean for a while now but haven't had the guts. I am not going to sit here and name all the solves I have faked, but I have removed any videos of solves that were fake. Mostly it was just easy scrambles, not rehearsing them but just simply giving myself a scramble I knew was easy. Or I would post an average with fake times. Or editing vids to force a good average. I will say this, yes my 6.03 is legit but since I had so many other times too good to be true I know a lot of people don't believe my 6.03, which just goes to show, karma will catch up to you. I haven't faked any times in a long while and I don't plan on faking any more. I am so sorry to basically everyone for lying. I hope to earn your respect again.

No worries, I respect you for saying this

4:11.73 4BLD with double parity

Probably would have been sub-4 without parities but still 2nd best time ever

I can feel the sub-4 being close now...

Accuracy is quite bad currently tough ~30-40%, but (almost) all successes are sub-NR

Going for sub-30 if we have another Slow N Steady here?

Always going for the fastest time possible. Sub-40 is more likely though. If there is another Slow 'n Steady with 3BLD I'll try my best to be there.

Hari said:

Thanks!

I'm not quite sure since I don't record my times often, and I never look at the time before I blindfold myself. For that avg5, I would guess memo was probably around 10s-12s. Probably anywhere from 10s-18s? Not quite sure. For sub 40 solves I'm guessing sub 15 is a safe bet. Really should record my solves so I have a better idea....

porkynator · Aug 30, 2014

You can use the "BLD mode" on qqtimer: press space to start timer, press space to get the memo split, press space to stop.

notfeliks · Aug 30, 2014

Fastest 3BLD success to date with letter pairs made into weird semi-sentences - 6:09.09. Yay!

Hopefully making the switch to M2 edges from OP soon.

Scramble: B2 F2 L R F2 L' B2 R D2 R U2 B D F' D B2 F' D2 F U'

Edges: Good Job, New City, ReeK, AVLD (couldn't think of anything), Western Australia
Corners: Just Fun, GP, WS (again, couldn't really think of anything for those two, although in reflection something like Goal Post and WayStation should have sufficed)
