Yeah screw official blind events, I'm terrible at them. 6x6+ BLD is cool

 

[AJ Blair]

That was awesome, and the memo is mind-boggling!

How low do you think 7BLD times can be pushed?

 

[CyanSandwich]

Way to beat the UWR by over 5 minutes!

Congrats, you looked extremely happy at the end

 

[Ollie]

About time

 

[DuffyEdge]

Wowee

 

[qqwref]

Wow! Awesome improvement.

AMAZING!!!!!!!

How low do you think 7BLD times can be pushed?

This is such an interesting question. Let's see. With Maskow's MBLD memory (40 sec per <room>) 7x7 can be memorized in ~7 minutes - considering the fact that bigBLD is a bit harder to memorize than a set of 3x3 cubes (because of centers tracking). I just rewatched my execution; it's "pretty fast", but can be way faster (pauses, low TPS etc); With complete execution rush it can be 1.3 - 1.5 times faster I believe. So we got 16 minutes so far.

Also, just remembered that:

Spoiler

Based on the fact that current UWR speeds on 5x5x5 are sub-5, and I'm the only person in the world who's ever really worked very hard on 7x7x7, and my ratio of best times, 7x7x7:5x5x5, is 37:11, I believe that an appropriate amount for UWR for someone good at 5x5x5 who works relatively as hard as I did at 7x7x7 vs. 5x5x5 would be sub-17. So yes, I agree with you - the 7x7x7 UWR should be quite easy to beat.

And I really do think sub-17 should be quite reasonable to achieve; 7x7x7 is a lot easier than many people think it is, especially after you've done several hundred attempts, like I have. I'm just slow because, well, I'm slow overall.

If there will ever be a human with Maskow's memory, Kevin's TPS on big cubes and Oliver's bigBLD skills, he will be sub-17 or even faster at it

 

[Lazy Einstein]

Incredible! Awesome job. Love watching you do big BLD.

 

[Iggy]

Well done! Nice to finally see a good reaction

 

[Mikel]

Congrats!

terrible...i even dare not to turn a 7x7 cube opening my eyes...

Me neither, I can imagine my 7x7 exploding if I do so
