Wow!!!
BTW, how do you memo?

I create a story from letter-pairs for edges and don't review it, then I memo corners but with weaker memo, I just pronounce all words without making stories.

Thanks,
And how long did it took for you to get that fast?

Best 13 cubes attempt! (all that I've got lel)

9/13 in 21:47.95[12:50]
Memo: 59.2 per cube!!!
Execution: about 41.4 per cube idk why so slow (
DNFs: some edge mistakes, idk why + a cube in which I executed both corners' and edges' memo on edges xD

My PB is still my 8/10 though.

 

[CarterK]

6BLD first attempt:

Better than I expected.

Mistakes:
Corners: executed CQ instead of QC
Inner Wings: executed FO instead of OF, skipped over a target when tracing
Outer x-centers: I memoed a pair at one point but took it out as I was reviewing
Obliques: Obliques are Obliques

 

[T1_M0]

PB single and mean

51.48
46.76
57.00
= 51.75 mean

I've always failed all my good-looking means and the previous mean pb was 59.85. Switched to a loose cube, I guess that took away some execution problems.

9 corners, 25 wings, 15 centers, I think I'd call that worse than average

Edit: reconstruction

 

[CarterK]

9 corners

For some reason I was thinking actual corners at first. Just imagine a 4x4 with 9 corners.

It was 1:31 with 1:09 memo if you haven't seen it yet. I think I'll stream a 2-5 next week and another 6bld too. You gave me the idea to stream it

PB done on misscramble... should I count it? D:

18.225[WTF] R2 D' R2 D' F' B2 L F B R' U2 L D2 L' D2 R' B2 R' F2 L' Rw Uw'
Misscramble was 6/10 or 6/12... only 2 cycles, and really easy comms
Corners were
l' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 (R l)
[U R' U', L2]
[L U L', D2]

And edges had many M' U2 M U2 variants. EASY!

4bld pb mo3, previous PB was 3:07 so I'm really happy with this
Last solve had 1:17 execution, I was amazed by that, I think my fastest exec before that was 1:24 on a fairly lucky scramble. This one was 7/20/15, definitely pretty lucky on wings

5BLD 3:48.96[1:29 memo], PB by 30 seconds and first sub-4
Average memo, very nervous execution but still very good somehow.

 

[sigalig]

By a significant margin, the best thing I have ever done in cubing.

41/42 multiBLD PB in 57:30.77[37:05.34] (6UWR)
Coming from a previous PB of 35/38 in 53:26.33 which was my most recent attempt before this, less than a week ago.
I honestly am in shock, I have no idea how I got such an insane PB jump. I will only be attempting 46 cubes at home from now own in order to make 42 cubes feel more comfortable sub-hour at my next comp

Fun Fact: MBLD is the ONLY event a U.S. cuber has never held a WR in

I see what you mean ;D

Woah! I didn't realize that. I'll take it as more motivation to get WR

ugh i'm totally spamming this forum but I'm really happy about this one lol

2/2 mbld in 1:06.07
I was trying no review at all for the first time, and got a 1:16 beating my pb by 7 seconds, then got 1:06 a couple tries later. Scrambles were 12/8 and 8''/8
