I never really do BLD averages but since i use the Prisma Puzzle Timer, i do.
So as you might know, i am still new to TuRBo corners. And i am also new to my memory method (used it for not even 10 solves) because i just decided to memorize everything with images, in just one streak, without locations and with some other innovations. And then i got an average of 5 wich is just crazy for me..

The 1:03.28 one was actually 1:01-1:02 mins but i missed the timer twice..

BAAAAAM!

What exactly is your new Memory method? and what innovations are you using? I have been spending most of my cubing time on mnemonics and would be very interested in any sort of innovation or trick people are using (like on mnemotechnics) especially from cubers.

Cool
Thanks a lot. I don't mean to keep anyone up; it's normal for answers to take time.

Not even PB, but I have been struggling so much with my new memo system, so I did a super-super safe solve. Earlier I used one image per piece (like blood for BL and so on), but now I use speffz letter pairs with audio for corners and images/words for edges. Execution is Pochmann.

 

[DennisStrehlau]

3x3x3 BLD PB!

4th sub 1 within 24 hours..i am getting better..
10 edges to solve and 6 corners to solve.
Memo was about 22-24 seconds, dont remember exactly.
Took me like 2 minutes to realize, that this is my PB

51.40 seconds

Dennis

And another 3x3x3 BLD avg of 5 PB:

1:09.02
51.40
DNF (1:02.31)
58.15
1:01.46

average of 5 - 1:02.88 mins

WTF?!?! I never got 2 sub1s in a row yet and then that! 3x3x3 BLD mo3 PB. I think this will take a while to rebreak that..

57.63
52.93
57.53

-> mo3 56.03

I thought you were much faster?!
What are your PBs for big cubes BLD?

Dennis

 

[DennisStrehlau]

3x3x3 BLD PB:

51.18 seconds

After ~35 solves without even one sub1 (just 2 or 3 DNFs) i finally got one and then even a PB. All the stupid solves before were worth it though..
No lucky cases or anything. Should have been sub50..

Awesome improvement!

PS: I can't wait until you apply the new method to multi

Thanks Michael!
Yes, me too. But i have to practice multi-memory then first. I didnt do it for quite a long time.
But anyway. I have fun practicing single BLD at the moment. And this is all because of YOU!
You have been the person who made me learn TuRBo and try to get better. Then, when my execution became faster, i started practicing memorization. But all that, just because of YOU!
Thanks so much man!

I'm glad I could help

I practice big cube BLD more than 3x3 BLD

5x5 BLD: 20:44.84

4BLD 8:33.03 PB [4:20]
It was a reasonably nice memo and easy but when i took the blindfold off i missed the table and the cube hit the floor but the timer is what made me go crazy, smashing PB by 3 minutes!
Nevins beat me by 17 seconds but i think were good for UKO
other note, im averaging sub 1:30 3BLD now

 

[PianoCube]

I got my first success with M2 today (2nd attempt). 12:16.15. It was with parity, so now I know I understan how to solve that.
Memo took me twice as long as usual, and execution was just a bit slower because I had a lot of pauses to do a lot of thinking.
I were lucky, as I didn't get FU or BD as targets. I haven't memorized those yet.
