Curunír's 3BLD progression thread | quitting 3bld :(

[Jorian Meeuse]

so a question to those who use ltct (I think this applies @Jorian Meeuse and @Cuberstache )
I have learned about 20 ltct algs so far and I am wondering what is the best way to train recognition for them?
I use anki for my comms but I'm not sure whats the best way to use it for ltcts

I think I remember only 1 LTCT alg lol but how I used to recognize them was (and I don't see any reasonable alternative, really) by the parity letter and the letter of the U/D sticker on the twisted corner, and the notation I used was like A[Q] for example, where A would be the parity target and Q the twisted corner. There's not much recognition to train here I think, it's more of an if you know you know situation.

 

[Kivvi]

so I kinda haven't update this for a while so

from now on I won't be updating for every PB and only posting particularly interesting solves/averages


my goals moving forward are sub-20 global before august 2024, learn ltct and floating dis month/next month and do at least 10 3bld solves a day.
I might not post for awhile whilst I'm grinding so yeah don't get too concerned if I don't update for a week or 2

You are solving 3x3 faster blindfolded than me without a blindfold. This. Feels. So. Weird.

thanks for the advice

 

[GloopyGum]

You are actually improving incredibly fast right now... I remember only a few months ago I was significantly faster than you and now all of your PBs are faster than mine

 

[Curunír]

yeah, I'm probably goin to start actually floating rather than only floating for easy 3-cycles
so I'll probably be slower than you for a little while again (have fun while it lasts)
and youre still faster in comp than me

stupid solve I got on a 10-alger (my tps is kind insane today)

about a week ago I went into an existential crisis when I realised I was faster at 3bld than OH

 

[Lord_Oscar]

Jesus. Come to a comp and smoke James.

Can you do multi?

 

[Curunír]

Jesus. Come to a comp and smoke James.

Can you do multi?

I so far have a 100% accuracy in multi
because I've only done 2/2 and 4/4 attempts of which I have done one each
I am by no means at James' level for multi though

 

[Kivvi]

Are you gonna practice multi in future or focus on normal 3BLD?

 

[Curunír]

Are you gonna practice multi in future or focus on normal 3BLD?

I'll probably do multi in as future but I only have 4 3x3s so I would need to buy more cubes

 

[Curunír]

comm optimisation time

so I am going thru dis sheet putting in all da comms I use and checking if they are optimal
green=good
purple=replaced (with previous comm in note)
yellow=not sure

in other news

I lost my 100% success rate in MBLD (it was going to happen eventually) by DNFing my second cube in da weekly comp

I am now using this LTCT trainer
thanks to @TheSixthSide for telling me about it

anyway I'm probably going to slow down a bit in my solves to make sure I've got all of my comms up to standard (TPS spam was kinda getting a bit difficult)

I'll update my PBs when I feel like it

How do you get PB on a 9 alger lol
Also funny how you use a different alg than me for each of the edge cases, I use
R' FS' R S R2 S' R F'S R
ML' U M' U2 M U LM2
U' L E L2 E' L U M
Lw'M' U' L U M U' L' U Lw
M' U2 M' U2 M2
Although in the solve I EU SK which is kinda sad

i think low 4
I honestly thought it was gonna be DNF and then I somehow it was a success

Without lifting the cover and orienting I hope? Because with that I can only trace through it around 4.8 while already knowing the memo haha (although I am a bit washed so that might contribute)

 

[GloopyGum]

I'm pretty suspicious of this result tbh. 14.82 on 9 algs, and with pretty bad quality comms as well? Doesn't seem probable to me.

Maybe post a video of you doing a 3bld solve? Just one solve should be enough to tell whether you are legit or not.
