Yeah, anyone can! Like, really!
No, it, like, wouldn't be! Because, like, it's practically impossible to speed BLD, like, that fast!
And Ville already, like, gets, like, those times, with faster memo!

Lucas speaks the truth! He's seen a speed BLD done. Muaha. I'm not lying there either.
But, as for the original poster's question, I agree that currently it seems like freestyle is taking over as being the fastest blindfolded solving method, though, as stated before, it is possible it is only due to popularity bringing it to the top. I do believe, though, that it is inherently fastest as it's 3-cycles with no orientation! I know if I cut off orientation from my own solves I could remove the memo time and loose the execution(however quick) that adds onto my times and get some pretty nice times.
But I'm slow so...

Yes mum
How about Lord Voldemort? (No, not referring to the guy with the same username around here.) I thought with all the Voldy wars going on around here, Yish would be a change for the (relatively) better

blah, never attempted 5x5 BLD after that attempt? Your time in the signature has been that way for so long.
As for something on topic, Freestyle ftw. Hehehe. I wish I would stop orienting my edges before performing M2.

Freestyle basically uses commutators right? Or not?
Then it's not "free". You can use anything you want...

I though its anything and everything, isn't it?

It sounds so easy when you put it that way.
Do you consider BH to be freestyle? The way you describe it, they're the same (BH is just 3-cycling without pre-orienting). But from a different perspective, they're directly opposite - there's nothing freestyle about BH - you know exactly how you're going to solve each possible arrangement before you start, so there's nothing "free" about it.
Well, my freestyle is getting less intuitive all the time as I do the same thing for same cycles almost every time. BH is freestyle, just not so intuitive.
what does BH mean? never heard of it..is there a site which has a list of the algs for that method?

It is all optimal commutators for 3-cycles. For 3x3, it's in the region of 768 "algs".

768 algs???!! that almost like memorizing ZB! does Ville know all of those??

That's Speed-Blindfold-Cubing. ;9
Lucas did it a few times (pretty fast), I did it as well and I bet a few others on this forum too.

I guess out of those 700+ algs there are mirrors and stuff like that right?

It's really not all that bad. You don't really have to memorize them like you would memorize a PLL - you just memorize how they work, and which type each one is. Once you see how they work, big bunches of them look similar. The key is to be able to immediately recall which type it is and see how to do it as you get to it. Then if you practice LOTS, you'll get where they're as ingrained as a memorized PLL.
