Race to 4x4 BLD

[Faz]

Oki doki.

Whoever is learning 4x4 BLD at the moment, and hasn't had a success yet, can be in this race.


Competitors:

Fazrulz - Progress: Finalising center commutators, and working out a memo system. Yet to attempt a full solve.
Happa95 - Progress - no 4x4.
Riffz - Progress - just started learning.
TheBB - Progress - Attemtped one solve. Large DNF.
Mati rubik - Progress - working on centers.
SimonWestlund - Progress: I know corners and edges (I still havn't tried to do them BLD on a 4x4 yet though), trying to learn centers.
Vault312 - Progress- still figuring out U2, know how to do r2. Edit: screw U2, niklas all the way.
KevinK: Progress: Working on edge memo.
Not kevin Progress: can do edges and corners, but can't do centers (I don't get commutators...) and a memo scheme.
Chuberchuckee Progress - no 4x4
McWizzle94 Progress: Done maybe around 30 solves without a success. A few were pretty close though, and I my time is around 10-15 minutes.
Micael progress: can do edge (r2) and corner (obviously). Already have a well known and safe memory system (image-action + room) for 3x3 and multiple bld. Never try a full attempt yet.
rjohnson 8ball - beginner
Maxcube - beginner
Virkill - working on centers.
Kian - beginner
ThePizzaguy92 - individual steps

Aww man, I already did it twice. Guess I can't compete.

 

[happa95]

progress: no 4x4

progress: no 4x4

damn, you're so close!

 

[riffz]

I'll do it, can I have some links to the best tutorials?

[TheBB]

I'll join.

I know center commutators, but I frequently screw them up. I know how to do edges except for the parity algorithm. Not yet attempted a full solve.

 

[mati rubik]

me!

progress: Working in centers

 

[TheBB]

Tried one . Off by 3 centers, 14 (!) edges and 6 (!) corners.

I guess there is some scope for improvement.

 

[SimonWestlund]

I'll join. I don't know if I'll get to it in a few weeks but still, fun to race

Progress: I know corners and edges (I still havn't tried to do them BLD on a 4x4 yet though), trying to learn centers.

 

[Neroflux]

i got one off by 15 centers, 8 corners and 21 edges.

so 3 edges were solved? Well, it's still a lot better then I am so I shouldn't be talking

That's mine, it's not the best, but a lot of people have told me it's good.

your mom doesn't count, haha just kidding I've glanced at it and it seems good.

when i got the scramble 3 edges were already solved

 

[DavidWoner]

I'll join.

progress- still figuring out U2, know how to do r2.

Edit: screw U2, niklas all the way.

 

[KevinK]

I'm going to join. I've already done one attempt (failed) that took one hour and seven minutes. I haven't even thought about 4x4 BLD since then.
Progress: Working on edge memo. In my attempt, I had to start over edge memo because I had memorized the edge next to the one that I should have. I was able to recall everything during the solve, I just memorized incorrectly.

So many new 4BLDers

This is great! Pretty soon well have a lot of competition on 4BLD

 

[not_kevin]

I'll join, but it might take me forever to get it, because I don't really do it.

Progress: can do edges and corners, but can't do centers (I don't get commutators...) and a memo scheme.

 

[Chuberchuckee]

I want to join, but mefferts still hasn't shipped my 4x4.
