Weird..but cool!

[Lotsofsloths]

I am usually a 5-9 min. BLD cuber, using M2 edges with Pochmann corners, but then, all of the sudden, I'm practicing my BLD and I am getting consistent secuessful solves, all areound 3-4 min(nothing above 4:59)!
this is soo awesome!
Did anyone else experiance "jumps" like this?

 

[RobinBloehm]

yeah, I dropped during a one hour train ride from about 5-6 minutes right down to 2:50-4:00 minutes, doing about 4 solves during that ride...

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Wow! thats pretty impressive!
Now the questions is: can I maintain this? lol

 

[Inusagi]

I got two solves correctly and they were at sub 6 both of them. After that I tried some solves, and my times jump the other way! Now I never get a sub 6 min. and those two solves below 6 min. were the only one that actually was solved after I opened my eyes.

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

I guess this happens to everyone. I was at 7-9ish forever with a few 6s, and over the course of like 5 solves I got to 4-5, 6s are terrible for me

 

[alexc]

This happened to me, too.

Easy I jumped down in time too this week all of a sudden I have no problem staying under 2:30 and I dont do more than 1 solve per day usualy some days I do more but you dont have to do much to stay down in time.
I use M2 and Pochmann corners too.

Uh... Maybe if I did any BLD solves this would happen to me >.< At least I'm making good progress on the ones that I do practise. Well done Daniel, keep working on it!

 

[Karthik]

Yes this did happen to me when I was around 4-5 mins.I suddenly started getting sub-2:30 times one day.
Hope this happens to me again.

 

[Leo]

I guess you could say this happened to me, I went from total DNFs over 12 mins to getting a 6 min time, DNFs are just as good practice as regular solves, just not as cool

 

[Dene]

I just did about 5 solves, still all 4:30ish. I do see a breakthrough coming though. ^^ ^^ ^^

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Once I'm at sub 4 min for sure, I'm gonna go into multi BLD.

 

[Inusagi]

I am not getting any better. My last 20 solves has been DNF. It may sound crazy, but I am speaking true.

 

[Nghia]

That's great to hear Daniel, as for me I'm getting a lot of DNFs lately (so Inusagi, don't worry that much about your DNFs, were they far off or just very close ?) mainly because my hybrid/unstable memorization method. Once I'm settled, I'll be ready

Oh and btw I just got my PB at 2:52

Most of them were not far. Like Tyson Mao did on CNN. He did the wrong U perm at the end, and got 3 pieces wrong. I did the same mistake today.
Also, I had a solve where I discovered in the end that I had forgotten CO. And I opened my eyes, and found out that evrything was correctly except CO.
My cube is evil...

 

[McWizzle94]

lol BLD times can go down really fast! I went from about 4:30, I took a break from BLD for about a week, and then I got about 3 minutes. Now I am usually between 2:30 to 3:30.

 

[Inusagi]

I finnaly got a cube correct blindfolded after 20 tries! Sadly, my time didn't drop.

LUCKY!
I'm 3:30-4:59

Same here....Haven't got one yet after my two only solves...

After getting a success in competition, I didn't have a success for months...
Then I did one per day and got better.

(Turns out I was doing EO wrong, which would explain all those EO-only DNFs )
