I tried vodkaBLD and it doesnt work...

I did ao5 - best on cam though not PB.

My try at being fast (sorry, video quality is bad). After seeing the solves I can't believe I'm that fast (well, I'm not, around 22.5 is what I average), it looks awful.

17.863, 23.206, 18.509, 17.959, 19.559 = 18.675

I have to take my hat off, sir! That's what I aim for but, to be honest I'll never get there.

 

[newtonbase]

Alcohol seems to have a worse effect on my sighted solves than on 3BLD but that might just be my perception. We should do some in depth testing at Guildford (and the UKs etc...).

Pretty cool! Your solves must be very efficient because the times are great even with pauses. I see lot's of room for eliminating these pauses.

No matter what.. sub 19 average with Roux is impressive

 

[h2f]

Thanks. And yes, I see it too. Pauses hurt my eyes when I watch it. I must improve two things: cross and lookahead. Sometimes I do cross in 5 seconds and still I can finish sub20. On the other hand - I have a fast cross and finish over 20. So many things to make them better.

I broke ao100 sub19 with 18.97.

Lovely overage Grzegorz. Nothing wrong with your turnspeed either, seems effortless for you at that speed. Reduce the pauses and there is such great improvement to be had

 

[Selkie]

@muchacho Nice average David, your pauses seem to be minimal and it is just me or is your L6E stage very fast!?

@newtonbase I think proper experimentation of BeerLD at UKC is unavoidable sir

 

[h2f]

@muchacho Nice average David, your pauses seem to be minimal and it is just me or is your L6E stage very fast!?

Oh yeah, you're right - David's LSE is very decent. Nice average David!

 

[muchacho]

Not really fast, but L6E was always my best step... but it won't improve much more now, it's hard to be efficient there, and I would need to fingertrick it differently.

 

[newtonbase]

@newtonbase I think proper experimentation of BeerLD at UKC is unavoidable sir

Que sera sera. I shall embrace the inevitable.

Lovely overage Grzegorz.

Ha ha!

 

[teacher77]

Get well soon @teacher77 in the meantime maybe try a bit of OH? I'm guessing it would be the wrong hand but it can help you understand the algs more.

Thanks ! It didn't take long to heal. I did a litte OH indeed but mostly slow untimed solved. Those must have helped because I broke my 10+-average PB 2-3 times since last week. Now down to 33.84 sec.

My single PB still is my 24.51 sec from august 26 though. Seems unbreakable now : although my averages go down, I find that all my times are driven towards the average. Probably because recognition time is longer with 30+ algs in mind than when I only knew a dozen, stopping me from performing as well on the cases I could solve fast back then.

 

[newtonbase]

That's perfectly normal. You'll always slow down a bit after learning new stuff. The improvement is long term.

 

[Jason Green]

I got my Weipo and GTS today. I filmed an unboxing but want to edit it because the kids were on there being crazy (I'll leave some but it was too long). The Weipo is definitely my main right away. My only other 2x2 was the Fangshi, it's fine but this one is quite nice. The GTS I am doubting at this point will replace my Yuexiao. I've only done 50 or so solves so far, but having a hard time getting my normal average. I like the feel, it's very light to turn and fast. I need to do one or two ao100 before I decide, although if I get through 50 and am a couple seconds above normal I'm not sure I can stomach finishing. It does have a good chance of becoming my OH main I think.

 

[Shaky Hands]

Anyone tried beerBLD?

Alcohol seems to have a worse effect on my sighted solves than on 3BLD but that might just be my perception. We should do some in depth testing at Guildford (and the UKs etc...).

I had a successful BeerBLD last night when a friend was visiting. A lot of background noise too.

 

[muchacho]

I thought I was not going to get a sub-21 Mo100 any time soon, but I was wrong

20.742 Mo100 (old was 21.221 from almost 1 month ago)

Maybe I should just do more solves, I'm "only" at around 60 solves per day for the last 6 weeks.

Finally I got a nice singe fullstep. Though when I did a reconstruction I'm surpriesed I had a good time - theres so many rotations in it.

I was asked to do a blind solve by a 7yo at a kid's birthday party today but I bottled it. They got a regular solve instead. The thought of making a dozen 7/8 year olds wait 2 mins for the action to start with no guarantee of a result filled me with dread.
The nice part was my daughter bragging about my ranking - though it sounds a lot better than it actually is.

Yeah I know. I have only been asked once, and luckily it was OK. I started memo while people were still talking and did it slowly and thoroughly since they'd forgotten I was even doing it. Then when I started execution, someone said "look he's started" and I took that quite slowly too, since it still looks fast to non-cubers and I really did not want a DNF .

That's perfectly normal. You'll always slow down a bit after learning new stuff. The improvement is long term.

Well as I said, my averages are still going down. Slowly but surely approaching 30 sec. So I'd say I'm seeing improvement right now. It's only in individual solves that I see less "very low" times.
