New 4x4 BLD PB!
3rd success.

24:47.70. I hope to get sub-20 soon, I already had a 19:40, but it was off by 4 centers.

Your execution is very-very slow(~ten minutes). I think you should practice more with your eyes open, and learn a better method for wings (r2 is way fast and it is not hard). These are just tips btw, you're improving quite well, congratulations!

Yeah I told him, he said he doesn't care about speed

 

[Mike Hughey]

I think in general you're doing fine on execution speed if your memo speed is the same as your execution speed. As you improve on memo speed, your execution will improve with it.

It's strange - I've noticed my memo speed and execution speed have always been very close to each other on cubes bigger than 3x3x3. I think it's because, as you get faster with memorization, you also get faster with recall. Actual execution speed is not such a big deal on big cubes BLD; it makes a little bit of difference, but fast recall with no delays is much more important than turning speed.

A nice thing about r2 is that it really is ridiculously easy to learn (I learned it in one weekend, when I was still pretty bad at big cubes BLD), and you no longer have to even think about the algorithms to perform, so you can focus almost entirely on recall of the next pieces to solve. I think the fact that it makes recall easier is probably the most powerful thing about r2. Eventually something like BH can be just as good (and more efficient), but r2 gets you 90% of the way to BH almost instantly, with very little effort.

The reason, why my execution is so slow is, that I use a pretty long algorithm to swap two wings.
I will soon try to switch to M2 on 3x3 and r2 on the 4x4, as I promised Maarten that I would

Sub-20 soon!

at edges method. It's funny watching it over and over .

But still, 1000x better than anything I can do bld.

That's 18 in a row. Solves 2-13 are 36.57 average. I will catch up to him, eventually.

Once you get 1:1 memo-exec ratio, you'll be 20sec average.

???? How eventually? And how fast is he at home?

So today I decided I should try out BLD since I've never done it before. I just wasn't interested in doing it to be honest but I thought I should give it a try since every cuber seems to have tried it.

I figured I'd start with 2x2 BLD so I read some stuff about 3OP and tried it since I noticed I didn't need to learn any new algorithms (it was just PLLs and OLL triggers) and I did it after like 3 completely failed tries! It was actually fun and now I think I might actually try to do 3x3 tomorrow.

I know it's not much but it's the first time I ever did BLD (even though I speedcube alot) so it's my first BLD accomplishment!

I cannot figure it out

And who is that "him" that is faster than this?:confused:

 

[Yes We Can!]

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!
I am so happy right now!
First sub-20 for 4x4 BLD!

It was my 5th success in total, I destroyed (no other words match to my new time ), DESTROYED my old PB of 23:47.70.

Now I got

17:57.94

The memo was just really fluent and I managed to do it in sub-10: 9:53.
I had no recall delays, which was awesome, since I didn't repeat the memo very often before I put the blindfold on.

-happy Cornelius

PS: It was the third scramble of the weekly competition 06, my second success for this week's contest

Congrats Cornelius! I also remember my first sub-20 4x4x4 BLD, that is a big milestone!

Are you addicted yet?

Also, Ville.... That average.... !!!!! Amazing!

Thanks!
I think, I have been addicted from the first time I solved a 3x3 BLD (which is 1,5 months ago) already
I love BLD!

3rd place in Chicago Open today with a 1:39.xx =]
Congrats to Mike Hughey and the guy with the red hoodie (I think his name was Chester but I'm not sure....lol)

I hope this doesn't belong to the failure thread.

Multi BLD 50/54
Memorization 7 hours, execution 1:45 hours.

Dennis should get his signature changed

Wow. That is certainly not a failure!
