[porkynator]

From Milan BLD Day:
3BLD
First round: 1:02.72, DNF, DNF
Final: 1:03.xx, DNF, DNF

Multi:
5/8 (45 minutes?)
5/8 (52 minutes?)

Comment: 1:02 and 1:03 were both safe solves, very good safe solves for me. No sub1, but it's only my 2nd competition, I don't complain at all. First multi was easy, 2 cornes and 1 edge flipped in 8 cubes; off by 3 edges, 3 corners, 2 corners. Secondo multi was pure pain, I asked many people to kill me after that; 16, I say 16 corners twisted (I don't remember how many edges, but more than 2); only one cube didn't have any twist or flip; one cube had 6 (yes, 6) corners twisted, and 2 swapped. Still 5/8 (3 edges, 2 edges, 2 edges).
I still placed second in multi, since many people decided to focus on big cubes blind.

I still think I can get the ER in two weeks, I did't practice too much this days ago but I will now, there's a lot to improve in this days because now I don't have a good control over my new edge cycles (really pro) and letter pair images so I have a lot of delays in every solve

 

[kinch2002]

I still think I can get the ER in two weeks

Why are you only aiming for ER, when WR is 1 second faster than it?

Nice times btw

 

[lucarubik]

I dont know I'm still thinking about ER cause thats what I've been doing this months ago
thanks I used to be better but after I got pyraminx and megaminx I left BLD a bit, but seeing matteo an of course andrey... I really want the ER... I let it go a month ago by a B3 turn

 

[Walter Souza]

First 4x4x4 success: 27:46.55.

 

[Julian]

1:15.22 solving with edges first!

Now using words/sentences for corners, and audio for edges. Definitely gonna switch to this

5x5 BLD in 7:39.31

Memo was 4:00, so really good execution for me. 10 edges targets, 8 corner targets, 26 wing targets, 6 xcenters and 6 +centers solved.

As usual, I scrambled wrong, but it is still similar: f2 F2 U2 f b l' r2 D2 f l b2 B2 D b B L D B' D b2 D2 f2 u2 D d2 L' d u2 l B l2 F R' B2 b2 U' r2 d B f' D d2 l f' U2 r2 D2 u2 F2 D U L' u r' b2 F f2 L2 u' b

Maybe it's not so cool but I've started to learn blindfolded seriously on ~20th August and I had times between 3:30 and 4:00. After 2 weeks I do times between 1:50 and 2:30, so I'm very happy Now it's harder to get down but I will try to do sub2 avgs.

[Carson]

I have spent the last few days learning M2, after having used strict old pochman for what seemed like eternity. Tonight, I made my first few attempts at full bld solves.
1. DNF (13:18.81) I believe I messed up the BD alg... centers were off, along with other things
2. DNF (13:28.56) Off by two twisted corners
3. SUCCESS (13:03.55)

This is pretty slow, but considering my only success in competition with my old method was 9:xx, I can't really complain. Part of the issue is moving to letter pairs for corners, after having used visual memo for a long time. I didn't note the exact time, but I believe the memo for the success was around 7:30.

Edit:
4. DNF (20:25.65) - Off by two flipped edges
~15:00 for memo
