Finally got my first 4bld ao12!!! And I ended up rolling the original ao12 with 3 solves too lol. It's crazy, I didn't even feel like I was safetying much at all. This also contains a 1:41 pb single (actually pretty disappointing because the scramble was 20 algs, and I had a 1:44 on 24 algs earlier today :/ ), 1:58 mo3, and 2:00 ao5.

47.256 3 BLD, first sub-50 and 4th sub-60

D2 F D2 F' U2 L2 R2 F R2 B' D2 L' F' L' B F U B2 R F' y'

I'm still shocked this was sub-50, great memo and great execution for me (around 25 for memo, I think, maybe less) and after this I'm seriously considering switching to comms at least for corners as I'm still using M2/U2.

Memo:
Corners: MEIQ ADRA
Edges: MeLaBeN CUTRAO
Everything flowed nice phonetically so I didn't use words or anything for corners.

This week's weekly comp 4bld scrambles are insane! I just got a 1:48.91 mo3, PB by 8 seconds :) also 1:54 ao5 cus the solve I did to warm up for weekly comp was 1:59 :)
I agree they are insanely good; I was so very disappointed that I messed up every one of them. :-(
Very impressive results!

Insane attempt and insane solution , especially the alg at the end , which swapped 3 corners,
you could have reconstructed using slice moves , and then totalled the solution up , counting slice moves as 2! Using wide moves feels a bit weird.
