2x2 BLD?

[PikachuPlayz_MC]

Do you guys think 2x2 BLD should be an Official WCA event?

 

[ketchupcuber]

no cause all top 2x2 solvers one look anyway it would basically be 2x2 with only fast solvers

 

[PikachuPlayz_MC]

good point. but what about all the other solvers?

 

[ProStar]

It's fun to do, but It wouldn't work as a WCA event.

 

[PikachuPlayz_MC]

why? tell me more about that

 

[ketchupcuber]

why? tell me more about that

because its the same as 2x2 the world champions would be the same

 

[RiceMan_]

I would be good if we're in 2004 but like @ketchupcuber said people can already 1 look 2x2 so I don't think it should be a thing.

 

[ProStar]

All the best 2x2ers 1-look it, the only way to be good at it would be to be good at 2BLD. It would be just as luck based as a normal solve, it would easily take <10 seconds for fast people, we already have enough BLD events imo

The top solvers would be the same as the top 2x2 solvers, and all of the records would be dominated by lucky scrambles, and I dare say that we don't need any more luck-based events. The best method for 2BLD will be exactly the same as the best method for 2x2. It wouldn't be adding anything novel to the lineup. If anything, 2x2 multiblind should be added, as it takes away all of the issues above. I would love to see people attempting 120 cubes or more!

I agree about the multi bld

If we have another BLD event added, I'd definitely go for 2MBLD over anything else. It'd be a fun transition between 2BLD and 3BLD in terms of memo length for beginners; I did 2MBLD for a while before I learned 3BLD to practice memoing larger amounts of info. It'd definitely be really cool to see insane attempts, and you couldn't just 1-look it

 

[PikachuPlayz_MC]

i poll changed

 

[Mischiiii]

Yeah i think as many pointed out that it’s to easy to one look a solve in general.

I guess 2BLD is a great stepping stone to get used to 3BLD. I will definitely learn 2BLD first after finishing full OLL in 2 weeks.

people would be doing like 150 cube attempts and
1. no one has that many cubes
2. no cube cover/blacnket thingo casn hold that many cubes
3. you would have to generate and scramble 150 cubes and while one cube takes like 4 seconds, it would take ages

 

[kubesolver]

I would like to point out one major difference between 2BLD and 2x2x2 even on the top level.
in 2x2x2 the fastest hands win, in 2BLD the fastest thinker wins because the inspection time is included.

Having said that I don't think it would be a good event.

problems with 100 cubes for 2MBLD could be solved by reducing the allotted time to 30 or 20 minutes.

If there was a 2BLD event in the WCA, no one would get world record because everybody has one anyway.
Bump @ProStar

 

[Deleted member 52530]

2MBLD is I guess ok? Cause then if you one look it you won't have the record abecause someone who did more cubes then you has it

 

[alexiscubing]

And then there comes a 4 mover and kills the event

 

[Sub1Hour]

And then there comes a 4 mover and kills the event

The event would be dead before it lived. The top 2x2 solvers already one look their solves, so basically the only thing that would change is that they don't get inspection for their solution and instead just use a second or two of their solve time

Bump @ProStar

The bump war is over. And I'd like to ask why everyone seems concerned when a new event is proposed that "no one new will get records". That seems like the main argument against something like kilominx, just that it's bad because Juan Pablo would get a record(I know that kilominx is different then mega, just an example). If you cube for records, you might as well quit now
