Nice PBs @muchacho (impressive sub-20 OH single!) and everyone. It looks like today is 4x4 PB day and I don't wanna miss the party, so here I come with mine:
PB Ao5 = 1:08.19 (was 1:08.79)
PB Ao12 = 1:10.66 (was 1:12.08)
A session of 36 solves averaging low 1:14.xx and with 4 sub 1:05 singles (no more sub 1min yet but a couple close calls).
Also, even though I don't track them, a very nice Mo3 of 1:05.64.

Also, fun fact, yesterday I did some 5x5 and tied my PB to the hundredth :( Got another 2:20.20. It should have been faster, though, but I looked at the timer at 2:10 while finishing OLL and got distracted... and also I got one of my worst PLLs, specially for big cubes (E-perm). I would accept suggestions for good E-perms for biggies ;)

You inspired me to go for it... I just had my first ever attempt at MBLD with 5 cubes, and I got 5/5, although it took me a few seconds over fifty minutes, so technically it's 4/5... Still, that's a very pleasing start! :)

Well done. As @mark49152 says you'll be fine for time by your next comp.
I was planning to do 4 at lunchtime but other stuff got in the way so I tried 2 instead. Got 1/2 as I remembered the wrong superhero for my very last letter. Grrr,

You both Marks inspiered me to make first attempt of mbld. I did it yesterday and finished with 1/3. I've messed edges when undoing something. And on the second forgot about twisted corner. Lesson learned: adding twists and flipps to memo images for edges and corners not as single image. I've figured out to use letter pairs which dont occur on 3x3 (like UB/BU) and add it in the end of the sentence/image. Previously I add it as a single image which often led to mistakes.

I use double letters for edge flips so UR/RU in Speffz is B/M so I could use Bob or Mum. It reminds me to use a flipping alg rather than shoot to both stickers.

That was what I meant. :) For parities I use a pair with FD.

I use superheroes for parities but I wish I hadn't started. They are really good images so only using them every 2nd solve seems a waste. Using an extra sticker from the buffer piece makes sense. You get multiple options and can memo everything in pairs which is neater. It would be hard to change but maybe now is the time.

I use both stickers because I already have images for those from corners and BigBLD and don't want to add more :). I used to sometimes shoot to both stickers but these days I rarely make that mistake as I just know that a "net" image is a flip of the N/T edge, etc.

It definitely flows much better than the one I was using, especially for big cubes but I might even adopt it for 3x3.

I use it in OH.

I just made an attempt of 5bld. 6 minutes to memo everything except +centers. 5 to memo +centers and corners (I have a problem with +centers - I need just practice it more) and next mistake when twisting corner and dnf after 30 seconds. I love 5bld. :)

Very nice @Jason Green
Do you do any 2 sided PLL recognition? Pretty sure it would save you at least half a second.
Click to expand...
Thanks. Very little 2 sided recognition, maybe J perms and... That's all I can think of. I agree I'm slow to recognize the case. Chris Olson judged my 2x2 once and I told him I could recognize my PBL in the time he could solve it. :)
 
Mo100 3x3 PB: 19.493 (old was 19.894 from 5 weeks ago). Oh how I love/need sunny days. I guess I should buy some good lights to not be dependent on natural lighting.
