Finally beat my PB of 2:22.86 which was back from 2011. The worst part was that for the 2:23.09, I missed stopping the timer at the end of the solve so it should have been my new PB. Good thing I smashed it a few solves later otherwise I would have been pretty annoyed. Also PBs (compare to yet-to-be-updated sig):

mo3: 2:35.889
ao5: 2:41.334

I should have switched to OP corners years ago haha.

4BLD pb - 3:44.53

First sub-4, and my first 4BLD attempt in 4 days. This is 25 seconds faster than my previous pb, and the scramble wasn't even that lucky. I don't have the scramble, but memo was AIUKZNEQCGPRHLT ZOKIWTADVFHBPSCMAEQE STLMBKIU, which means I only had 9 centers already solved. Memo was around 1:20. I tried getting an average of 5, but I stopped after a second DNF (3:44.53, DNF, 4:21.10, DNF).

Thanks! If I go to a competition that has 4BLD, getting 2nd in US won't be difficult, 2nd in North America is possible, and sub-3:31 could be possible if I learn full center comms and review less (memorizing centers at the end would probably save a lot of review, so I might try practicing this tomorrow).
I wish I could have gone to Indiana tomorrow, but my dad said it would be too far to drive (5 and a half hours) on a day with school.

I can still get NR :) Just need to put some more effort into actually getting faster and not only doing lots of solves.

+/w/c = 14/22/6 and (Corner parity)

PB :D Awesome

Even more awesome because I had one letter in memo wrong during centers but I remembered that I had 3 solved centers on that face at the beginning and was able to do correct comm that was actually against my memo because of that! :D

Scramble in solving orientation and do x' you have 3 solved centers on F and L :)
My memo for centers was MA UB NC RV PT HI YI
That bolded H should be F, but while executing I remembered visually that only F-face center that was unsolved was letter F so my memo must be wrong and was able to correct that :)

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

Not sure if he was joking.

Wat, really? :'(

Iggy said:
Oh crap, didn't know he has a comp with 4BLD coming up. Looks like I'll be pushed down to 5th :P

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.

WOW! Your memo times are about half a minute faster than mine but still our times seem very similar :D

Are you using 3-style or some simpler method?
 
41.64 3BLD official. Just kinda worked for my memo and I went all out, apparently it was fast. Glad to get back into top-100, even if it's just for single because I failed to get a (good) mean. Also sub-4 4BLD official with 3:58.26, should have been faster as the scramble was nice but I paused a few times during recall :/.

Corners - OP, but I know a few comms
Centers - Comms, but I just set up to easy cases that I know and I have to think about it a lot still.
Wings - Advanced r2

Crazy memo to exec ratio :p Do you pause a lot in exec? And M2/OP/TurBo or comms?
Click to expand...
I have a lot of micro-pauses I guess, and I turn slower because slipping a layer is irritating. On that one I forgot part of a cube and had to go through 27 possible letter pairs until one of them clicked.
I use OP corners/TuRBo edges with a few corner comms.

Any tips to memo faster in multi? I generally take that time to memo half that number even though I'm a bit faster at 3BLD :p
Click to expand...
Hmm... review less and do a small multi at the end. For 21 cubes, I memo 1-4, review 1-4, repeat for each row until 16, then review 1-16. After that I memo 17-20, review 17-20, 3bld the last one, execute 17-20, execute 1-16.
A lot of people probably take their time because they know there's no rush, or are being overly careful. Try setting a time limit for memo and just rush it if you start "falling behind schedule".

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
