Very nice!
Unfortunately you are too good that I could beat you now for a while xD but I think you deserve it because of full 3-style

Today I tried the 4BLD scrambles from US Nationals.
1. DNF (4:33.43) completely failed memo, off by 3 centers
2. 4:20.97
3. DNF (4:44.59) failed memo even more, off by a lot

All 3 attempts were faster than the winning solve, and the success was 30 seconds faster.

Also,
2 cube multi BLD mo3 - 2:27.57
2:14.61, 2:23.65, 2:44.45 = 2:27.57

Next two were
DNF (1:50.04), DNF (2:05.47) :(

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

Oh yeah! I'll have to try that out sometime.

Thanks :)

And if you really want to get faster at bld (well 3bld especially) I would recommend you start learning 3style allready. It's possible to get faster with M2/OP but it's so much easier if you just learn 3style at least for corners.

And when you know it for corners then using it to big cube centers is quite simple/easy :)

I have started learning 3style and I use the easiest ones for corners and centers. I have started to do solves where I solve every corner target with 3style but now I have a little pause (sometimes very big) before almost any cycle but practice makes better ;)

Nice :tu

After a few months you will be faster than now if you just stick with it

Wat, really? :'(



I just wanted to scare people :p
The competition isn't 100% confirmed yet and even if it is, he might not go, or even do 4BLD from the sound of it.

He told me to TOS2014 that he doesn't do 4BLD anymore.

Not sure if he was joking.

just saw this. I don't practice 4bld anymore but like I mean I can probably still sub-3 quite easily so...

Also, I probably wouldn't go to Montreal (too french for me lol)

I worked out the cancellation whilst solving the edge case, but still no dice on the sub-20

If you actually mean 21, wow!

but still no dice on the sub-30 [/spoiler]
But I'm guessing you meant 31, which is still awesome.


21/22 59:40.74[32:00.69]

I was so sweaty (the sun was right on me) and nervous on the last cube that I completely botched an algorithm near the end. I spent the last minute trying to fix it but I didn't really know what I did. Anyway it's PB that's something.

Also 18.42 2BLD PB from the weekly comp.

Not a great accomplishment, but I managed to teach myself pyraBLD.

Got a success on my 2nd attempt: 3:25.94[1:09.82]
For now my PB is 1:23.13

R U R' U R U R' U type thing for centres and free edge comms? (no buffer)?

Execution with my Pyra blind method is pretty fast as edges can be solved with at most 3 comms (and the comms are 4 moves with setups) and centres is TPS spam.

If not, how are you solving?

Yes for the centers. For edges I use FL buffer and set up to the other 2 front slots and do one of the 8 3-cycles (TuRBo basically). Pretty inefficient.

I can't really spam TPS, not just because of my poor ability, but also because I have a bad QJ that pops all the time.
