That is quite a fast improvement... O_Othese are rough estimates
sub 10:00 a few days (after my first success)
sub 5:00 1 week
sub 3:00 1 month
sub 2:00 1 month
sub 1:30 1 month
sub 1:00 3 months
sub 50 2 month
sub 40 1 month
sub 30 2 months
sub 28 1 month

I rushed my memo and my execution and got a 3:50 DNF with 2 twisted corners because I did the wrong commutator. Then I tried again and got 4:20 success. LOL I am getting better yay
Well, Before I used M2/OP. M2 really helped me to learn 3-style. I always think a commutator in terms of the following: Among the 3 pieces, I choose one of them to be my "start" piece. The piece that it goes to is the "interchange" piece. The third is the "end" piece. Then I execute ABA'B' in the way that A sends "start" to "interchange", and B sends "end" to "interchange". The alternative way that I think is like M2; One of the pieces targets another, and I can set up the third piece to the target location. If the first pieces goes to the target, I do that thing first, otherwise I do the setup thing first. Both of these ways of thinking are fairly easy for me. Oh, and BTW, 4BLD helped me to learn 3-style. My memo is still very slow (2 minutes). However, I am learning letter pairs. Literally. I already have memorized words for all of [A-D][A-Z]. I hope that this will help. Does anyone else do this, learning words for all of the 576 letter pairs?Do u know full 3style at that speed and level? New to 4bld and 4 mins full 3style is crazy
The thing about sub50 reminds me of my open-eyed 3x3 sub20. I finally can state that I average sub18.5-19, so I am definitely sub20. I'd say, someone has not passed a barrier unless they can do a ao12 anytime and it is passed the barrier. What do you think?So well, this is my BLD progress during the last 4 years. From many minutes to sub50.
Sub5, late 2013?: I learnt BLD and I didn't really practice it. So I averaged like many minutes. I don't even remember when I learnt BLD! I think it was back in 2014. So well, I averaged like 5 minutes. I did one solve now and then. I used a weird Orientate/Permutate method that I pretty much made up myself, using sune combos, (JNT) permutations, and edge orientation algs to solve the cube, as well as visual memo for corners entirely. I call this method G2 Method for 3BLD (G2 is my nick); I used it until last year (partly, read on to figure out why.)
Sub4 mid 2014?: From mid to late 2014, I was avging from 4 minutes to 2 mins 30 seconds. I finished 3rd at a comp in 2014 (Torneo de Invierno 2014, June 28th 2014) with a single of 3:32.96. Still didn't practice 3BLD. I would still use my weird method.
Sub3 mid/late 2015?: I suddenly became sub3. I would always do 2 minutes and something times, without effort. I think this was when I switched from my weird method to a M2/G2 hybrid. I would do corners with my weird method and edges with M2.
I got 2nd with a 2:20.75 single in La Plata 2015 competition held in November 14/15, 2015.
Sub2 early/mid 2016?: I magically become sub2 without even trying or practicing, just a couple of solves now and then as it always was! I arrived 2nd at La Plata Open 2016 with a 1:43.96 single, held in June 18/19, 2016. When I finished memorizing I thought: "that's all? that's it??? oh sheet". It appeared to be super easy. And it was. XD
Near Sub1 December 2016: This is the only barrier I am SURE about when it was. Or, I should say, from now on. I decided that I was going to start practicing 3BLD seriously, as well as other BLD events such as 4BLD, 5BLD, MultiBLD. I even did some PyraBLDs and SkewbBLDs XD. I learnt commutators for corners, stopped using my ugly G2 method, and that brought my times down drastically. I practiced A HUGE LOT and brought my memo down to about 25 seconds, and my execution to 40. I got many sub1 times but my avg was not sub1 still. That's how I finished last year in terms of BLDsolving. And I also learnt advanced M2, which is super easy and helped me a lot!
Sub55, basically now: I have been practicing diligently since December 2016, and I have managed to get my memo sub20 consistently, and my execution to 35 seconds in average. I am currently trying to learn comms for every corner letter pair and for edges, and I will switch to UF buffer after the DST Torneo de Verano in February 18/19, 2017.
Sub50, good days only: This barrier is broken only on my good days. I average sub50 and I can't do anything about that XD But it goes away the next day mostly. So it's like a barrier that I already broke but which "unbreaks" itself. Whatthefock
Sub40: ?

Another question: How did your memo get fast? what memo method did you use and what did you do to make it fast?
Early July 2017 I had my first success with 20 min memo and 6:30 execution. Early August 2017 I am sub 10. Right now (Mid August 2017) my PB is 1:45 with an average of 2:30
For the first 2 weeks I use OP/OP. Now I am using M2/OP. I plan to start using 3 style method after i can consistently be sub 2What method are you using?
