5bld

Hello speedsolving forum. I was watching this video. In it stanley describes some bigBLD center tips for U2 method. I've practiced and successfully implemented for X-centers. But, I can't seem to figure out the method for +-centers. It isn't explained in the video, the only thing stanley...

Ive been trying to get into bigbld recently (I'm sub 1 on 3bld). But I have had no successes and I would like some help with getting them. I want to be a top bigblder and I don't know what to do. I use intuitive 3 Style for Corners, Wings and Centres. Does anyone have advice for this? My last 2...

In this post I will give the results of an analysis I ran using R to answer a couple unanswered questions for 4x4x4 BLD and 5x5x5 BLD. Background On 4x4x4 BLD it is common practice at the beginning of the solve to rotate the cube such as to maximize the number of solved centers when viewing the...

Welcome to the Race To Sub-X for BLD! This race thread works similarly to the other Race threads. Every week on Tuesday, I will post 5 scrambles for 3BLD. You set a Sub-X goal, and if your average is below that goal, you have met it, and that week is a success. Three successful weeks in a row...

Hey everyone, hope you are keeping safe in these times. I'm in the works of setting up a discord focused on the blind events, and non WCA blind events as well. The goal of the discord is to create a friendly, constructive environment for cubers to discuss the art of blindsolving. I am aware that...

This will be the latest change since 333ft changing from mean to average! Announcement: https://github.com/thewca/wca-regulations/issues/681 Commit: https://github.com/thewca/wca-regulations/commit/8b3a38bf71836c42eab409f574612daee6a124f4 Discussion...

yeah i think my memo had a GJ overdose

hi. i was thinking about increasing my success rate in BLD solves. usually i get 1 DNF in every 5 solves on avg. so, avg12 is so rare for me. one way could be reciting my Letter Pair list. i can also recite my algs to make it handy. but you guys may have some more tips on improving success rate...

A couple of points to clear up before reading these. By freestyle I don't specifically mean '3-style' or speed-optimal 3-cycles (which this does indeed use) but I mean using a range of techniques including solving from fixed and floating buffers in the same solve, using a 'pseudo fixed buffer'...

Close enough. And sorry for the crap lighting, it's honestly the best I can do in the available situation. UWR is 4:23.14 and I have gotten some close sub-4:20 DNFs recently.

Yay! My second ever 5bld success and first on video! I had a pop at the end but luckily I fixed it :p

Memo = 6:49 N'bad! Getting faster too :)

PB is 4:32

Learn Roux? We are announcing our site in order to get feedback directly from the cubers. Our site is not 100% done, but I am constantly updating the site and making video's to improve the learners experience. We would really appreciate constructive criticism, mainly on our way of...

We both use Roux. This is my first day at attempting to do a Skype Team BLD and we came out with some pretty nice solves. Please watch the entire video for a nice reaction.

As the title says. It must be true. Any tips? :D
