It seems like I'm getting 21's daily now, which is good! My accuracy has dropped from a month without actual solves, though. Hopefully I'll get it back in a week or two.

there is one more, letme see if i can remember it just for fun
ok not even close, but its a fast one too, u can do those with the left hand and from behind, so each case in 4 different ways, i use it for U, B and F face opposite corner flips, its easy to find a cancellation in the x rotations, pretty much like in an A perm
edit: probebly usefull to twtist opposite corners in the right layer now that i think about it, or for the left layer for that matter
R' U (R D' R', U2) modern style
i prefer to do M turns instead of x in edges, so M' [R, U' M U], or just R' U' R' U' R' U R U R U
thoughts
dam twists are fun, its actually not that crazy to use free buffer comms for corner twists at least, and by actually not that crazy i mean not crazy at all

New MBLD PB
24/25 MBLD in 58min 27.22s

Silly execution mistakes

Impressive thing was that this was done about less than an hour after a failed 30 cube multi attempt (I did a few 5x5 solves in between)

Damn, nice! Got me beat again.

My last 3 attempts at 25 cubes have all been 21/25, so many dumb mistakes. (Overlooking flipped edges, tracing to the wrong side of a piece during memo, swapping two letter pairs, etc)
Any advice for getting rid of stupid mistakes? I feel so helpless in trying to avoid them :(

I also kind of do pretty badly for large attempts sometimes.

My advice would be to do smaller attempts (example 11 cubes), focus on speed or accuracy or both, and also get used to doing consecutive attempts. Do a 3 cube multi the night before a big multi attempt, and make sure you end with n/n result before you stop (or something similar).

Also go through your list of letter pairs, for example: if Vi and VE mean the same thing mean the same thing initially, change them to mean something different, Vi =Violet, Violent, Violin VE =Venosaur, Vend, Vending Machine

For flipped edges/twisted corners, I use the same technique as Eric Limeback: in one of his videos where he raises a cube to identify whether there is something twisted/flipped in memo. (Problem with this is it wastes more space)

Aaaaand now I have a sure-fire way of taking note of Parity. Thanks for the idea!
 
On a related note, I tried 25 mbld again last night, and while the accuracy was pretty frustrating, I'm pretty happy with the speed. ~88 seconds per cube for memo, ~41 seconds per cube for exec. Not PB per cube for exec nor memo but overall my fastest attempt at 25 cubes by over 2 minutes which is cool (54:30.21).

The four very frustrating DNFs:
- 1 cube: 2 flipped edges because I overlooked the flipped edge in memo
- 1 cube: 2 flipped edges because I shot to the wrong side of the piece when tracing memo -_- (this was the 3BLD cube)
- 1 cube: 3 cycle of corners because I did two letter pairs out of order (IK EC instead of EC IK)
- 1 cube: off by M' and 4 edges because my finger slipped and I did an M' instead of M2 during edges uGHGHUSHGUHDUFI

Wait, your pb ao12 is 1:42 but you say you aren't sub-2 globally???
That seems weird, I remember my first ever successful ao12 was 1:35 and I only got it because I wen't really slow and careful to make sure I got it, and I definitely considered my global sub-1:30 at that point.

What do you use to gauge your global average?

I'm very inconsistent :(

Since I keep pretty much all my solves in a single session, I gauge my global by subsequent Ao12's, with Ao5s in between.

For example, I rolled that PB one with a few more solves (like 5 or 6, I think) and right now it is sitting at 1:49.xx.

Before this, my PB Ao12 was 1:59.xx and after getting it, I managed to roll a couple more, but none were sub-2 (despite a good amount of sub-2 solves thrown in the mix).

So I keep rolling this current Ao12 and watching how it goes. When I inevitably DNF, I'll keep watching my Ao5s and if I get 10> (non-rolled) which are sub-2, that's when I expect the next Ao12 to be in this range as well, and to be able to confidently consider myself sub-2.
 
Ayoo!

Rolled out some more sub-2 Ao12s today. Aside from the usual brainfarts and "what just happened?" moments, I'm very consistent today and with great memo.

Guess I'm finally reaching a somewhat intermediate level in the event :P

Two PBs today(Got both of them on weekly forum competition):
5BLD: 8:19.59[4:17.19] - I felt that it was sub-9, but was not expecting sub-8:30 o_O. Beats previous PB by 44 seconds.
4BLD: 3:32.09[1:16.71] - Good memo, but terrible execution. Beats previous PB by 0.27 seconds.
