I now hold the UWRs for the 2x2 Transform Pyraminx! Once I do more solves I'll update it with more averages

 

[cubeshepherd]

Yes!! 10/10 MBLD in 51:23.10. Memo was around 33.

First time attempting 10 cubes and I got a complete success. I really did not think that it was going to be 10/10 let alone sub 1 hour, but what a relief for me to have that done, and I am really happy with the result.

 

[asacuber]

so these were fake?

30.92

Feet single
That would have been like NAR less than a year ago...
thats fast
too bad great lakes champs doesn't have feet

also very nice 53.70 mega single
E: also a not-nice-but-actually-nice 1:00.005

He does have wr but he also refuses to upload any non comp solves. He is obviously very fast but it’s possible he pads his times a little

1.81 and 1.79 official 2x2 avgs, previous Pb was 1.80 so I was pretty happy to be consistently around there, included 1.05 on an 11 mover

I don't know if this really counts as an accomplishment but today's my 1-year anniversary of being on the forums!

I got my first sub 30 oh pb today when i was at school.

 

[cubeshepherd]

Some Clock PB's
Mo3: 8.73
Ao5: 8.94 First sub 9 Ao5, Yey!
Ao12: 9.75 First sub 10 Ao12
Ao50: 10.59

 

[ToastasaurusCuber]

I just got my first pure sub-20 avg!

 

[asacuber]

hoping to get an official sub1 avg at some point, it's 1:01 atm

OH mo3 pb: 14.10
12.52, 14.05, 15.73
c'mon just want sub 14

also good 15.55 ao5
14.99, (13.86), 15.02, (20.05), 16.64

New Clock PB's and also some OH PB's

Clock: I am officially globally sub 10 on Clock. The Ao12 and below are sub SR and the Ao50 is two-tenths off of sub SR, so this is looking pretty for me to get the SR next month.

Single: 4.39
Mo3: 7.04
Ao5: 8.26
Ao12: 8.76
Ao50: 9.54
Ao100: 9.94

3x3 OH:
Single: 12.04
Mo3: 16.56
Ao5: 17.70
Ao12: 18.53
Ao50: 19.99 First sub 20 on Ao50

Like Clock, everything except for the Ao50 are sub SR, so again looking good for the competition next month to get the SR.

Again, I am really sorry for the double post, and normally if this had been a minor accomplishment I would not worry about double posting, but the reason for this post is the following:

I just attempted my first ever 5x5 BLD solve, and although it was a DNF, it is a pretty big accomplishment for me because I can now say after 2 and a half years of cubing I have solved/ almost completely solved, all official WCA events.
This is something that I have been wanting to do for a long time, and I am really happy now that I have done it. Hopefully soon I will get a 5x5 BLD success, but for now a (DNF(32:48.37)) will have to do.

Beat my 4x4 PB literally twice in a row. Got a 37.45 and then immediately after that a 36.81 (previous PB was 40.68 from late 2017).

 

[cubeshepherd]

YES! First 5x5 BLD success: 22:07.31[7:49.46]

I have now done unofficially every official WCA event successfully, with having just did my first 5x5 BLD solve successfully. So technically I am now a Unofficial Bronze WCA member. Now all I have to is get all these events officially in a competition. Easy, right?

I've been cubing for over 4.5 years and I still have no idea how to do BLD commutators so I can't do 4BLD or 5BLD :/

If you are interested in learning how to solve a 4x4 blind then I would recommend Corey Sakowski's series on learning 4x4 BLD:

He goes through everything that you will need to know, in order to solve it blind, and I really enjoyed his series.

Once you know how to solve a 3x3 and 4x4 blindfolded, learning to solve a 5x5 is not that much harder. Solving a 5x5 BLD, for me is similar to solving a 4x4 and 1 1/2 3x3's blind. So once you can solve those, solving a 5x5 BLD is not to hard to pick up. The tutorial that I used for 5x5 BLD and that I liked is this one:

Lastly, I am really bad at commutators as well, and I only solve the 4x4 and 5x5 cubes blindfolded like I do a 3x3, in regards to the way I set up and execute the pieces, so I do not think that is you just want to learn how to solve them, you need to know a lot of commutators.
If I am not wrong I still think that solving a 4x4 and 5x5 BLD is still using commutators, but for me it is different then the commutators that I use in something like FMC. I would recommend learning 4x4 and 5x5 BLD if you like 3x3, and for me there is something really nice in memorizing a cube, putting down your blindfold, solving the cube, and once you look the cube is solved, (Or unsolved like a lot of mine are ).
