I've gotten a few low22 or high21 means lately, but I didn't even react.
However, I just tried to use a few slow comms to see if my accuracy would get better, and suddenly got two ao12s :D I got way happier with those. Can sb explain?

1. 27.188 x2 F2 U2 B2 D2 L' F2 U2 L B2 U2 L2 B' L D' F D2 R D' L2 U' F2 Rw' Uw'
2. 24.521 x2 U2 R2 B2 U2 B' R2 U2 B' R2 B' R' F' D U2 R' B2 L2 B2 R2 U' Rw2 Uw2
3. 24.195 x2 R D' L2 B U2 L U' R D2 B' D2 F2 L2 B2 L B2 R U2 L2 F2 B2 Fw Uw'
4. 25.940 x2 F' U' R2 U2 L2 D' R2 F2 U L2 D2 B2 L U F2 R2 F2 L2 F L B Rw' Uw
5. 24.564 x2 F2 L2 D2 B2 R F2 R2 D2 B2 D2 L' D L' B2 U L2 F L' U F2 R Rw' Uw
6. 24.763 x2 U2 D F U F U2 R L D' L2 B' R2 L2 F' L2 F U2 D2 Rw2 Uw
7. (DNF(24.070)) x2 F2 U L2 F2 R2 D' B2 U R2 B2 U' B' L' F' D R2 F' L F' Rw' Uw'
8. 22.022 x2 B2 R2 U2 L2 D F2 U2 F2 L2 F2 D R' D2 L2 U' L B' U2 F D' R' Rw' Uw2
9. 28.695 x2 R U2 B2 U' R2 U' B2 U2 R2 B R' U F D' R2 F L' F Rw2 Uw
10. 27.165 x2 L2 F2 D' F2 L F' L U' R B' U' F2 L2 D' L2 D R2 D R2 F2 Fw Uw
11. 27.168 x2 R L B2 D2 R' D2 B U B R2 F2 L2 B D2 L2 B R2 D2 L' Rw' Uw2
12. (21.509) x2 B2 F2 U' L2 U R2 D2 L2 D' F2 D B F' D' B2 U' L U2 R D' Rw' Uw

= 25.62 ao12 (part of a 23/30 mean = 76.66%)

Now, the last time I got an ao12 was 1200 solves behind, approximately 2 or 3 months ago.
Also, Manuel Gutman got a sub-me ao12 earlier today, so beating him is clearly satisfying :D Wena lemto!
Mean of splits was 7.7/17.9

Nice! I think you are more accurate with slow comms because you are more confident with them. The solution might be drilling more algs. It is one of my main problems too, I am going to start working on that soon.
Nice memo times too!

After a 8min try where I completely ****ed up, a ~6min30 with 2 flipped edges and an incorrect 3cycle corner, I have a PB of 6:21! Yeah me !! \o/ I was especially happy because there was no stickers already in place (2 twisted corners though), 2 different cycles for the edges, with 1 bad M-slice edge, and the attempts where consecutive (a few month ago, I couldn't do 2 edges memorization, that was too exhaustive).

For me as a future reference:
memo corner :1:07.00, edges: 2:25.21, execution edges: 1:31.79, corner: 1:17.10

Hmmmm, I think I'll try some 3BLD and see what happens.

OK, that'll do.

17.347 3BLD single (PB) while waiting for my 4x4 to arrive at Santa Fe Spring 2018 final round! hahah (I won, as a matter of fact! So I'll be heating with 3bld more often now :p) Fer Lomazzi best judge ever <3

Sadly no scramble is available, for it was handscrambled by Fer. The scramble was around 8 algs so I'll count it as PB (it wasn't ridiculously easy)

The fun fact here is that I came 2nd at 3BLD with a 32 single, though :D:D:D:D
