Got an official 4BLD success yesterday, on my first official attempt ever! 20.xx min because I went ultra safe, but still got me 2nd place and NR #9.

I'm super pumped for the upcoming BigBLD competitions, especially Nationals in July. I'll give some more focus to 3BLD in the coming weeks however because of my next comp, which won't have any Multi or 4/5BLD either.

Normal time but interesting solution I somehow came up with!

1. 23.696[8.56] B L B2 L' D2 F2 U2 F2 R D2 B2 F' U' F2 L2 R D' R2 F L' Uw2
z2
z R U' M' U' M' U' M' U2 M U' M U' M U' z' U' //this was horrible, I know...
(x' M'): U' M' U2 M U'
S': U M' U', R
U x: M', U R' U' //so was this
L', U' M' U
S: Uw M' Uw2' M' Uw

R2, L' U' L U //and this
B2 y' F (R U R' U')2 //this was pretty cool
R U R' U', M'
L2 (cancelled with the previous edge comm, R' M L2 = Rw)

82 moves in 15.13 seconds = 5.48 tps meh

in your walls :3
I got a 2/3 MBLD in ~20 minutes a few days ago, the last cube was off by 1 corner letter pair (WC). This means I'm getting better I guess!! I'll probably go for 4 when I feel like it, my current PB is 2/2 in ~12 minutes

New MBLD PB! 5/5 in 26:53.73 Much faster then I thought is was going to be, but is could have been a couple minutes faster if I did not have as many pauses.
Next step/ goal is 7/7.

My successful 7x7x7 BLD solve this week makes a total of 50 successful 7x7x7 BLD solves I've done for the Speedsolving.com Weekly Competition! (That's admittedly only true if you count the regular 7x7x7 speedsolves that I did as BLD solves back during the couple of years when 7x7x7 BLD was not a proper event for the competition. If you don't count those, it's only 32 successful solves. But I think they should count. :p )

First 444 centres BLD success! (A full 4BLD attempt will still have to wait for me to learn and get familiarised with a lettering scheme for the wings, but baby steps!)

[x' U': [U' 2L' U, 2R']]
[2L 2U 2L', U2]

That is exactly the way that I learned how to solve 4x4 blind. I spent one day just memorizing and solving centers, then the next day memorizing and solving wings, and once I felt comfortable solving both centers and wings and I had the new parity algs or just new algs that I did not know before memorized, I combined it all together and attempted a full 4x4 blind solve.

Keep up the practice and I hope that you get a full 4x4 blind success soon.
