TPS is a factor of course , not a huge one , but still it is , and obviously he doesn't have any pauses in his execution , so I guess if someone like him put the effort and time in learning BH and be good at it , the HIGH TPS will make a difference , not a huge one , but it will obviously be an advantage , I'm no expert in BH like you of course :) , but this is what I think honestly

Antoine does have really high TPS in general, but it is simply not true that BLDers are a bunch of slow-turners. Just looking at the numbers, a fast BLDer usually has about 5-6 TPS, which may seem slow compared to fast 3x3 solvers, but cycles are often really awkward and contain a lot rotations, so there's just no way to turn as fast as someone doing F2L pairs.

I agree with that :) I'm a very slow turner and some cycles makes me feel so slow while doing them
I guess I thought that someone with high TPS could execute faster because I have a good think ahead and no pauses at all and I know which cycle I will do while doing the one before it , so I thought that my slow TPS is actually what's slowing me down , looks like I was wrong

so if not the TPS that's holding me back , then what is ?

There's a good chance it's your TPS. At one point my problem was TPS too.

I was just trying to say that TPS doesn't always translate into being fast at 3-style the way it helps in OP/M2.

Agreed. I am currently working on executing without pauses and then slow upping the TPS.

New MultiBLD PB: 4/4 in 19:50.02

Memo was strong, only had one execution error which I expected in memo xD Old PB was 2/2 in something. I've had 3/4 before, but never anything 100% more than 2. Corner memo took about a minute to recall on the last cube.

...what the ****

On twisttheweb with Louis, first solves of the day, first sub-1s! Still solving edges first.
First scramble is really lucky, last was just really good memo and execution.

Corners: NAh, BiG J [cw]
Edges: NJEL TPC [flip]
I think I scrambled wrong for the 58.

Seriously though what the hell.

Everyone will laugh, but first bld complete solve of any kind. 2x2 BLD: 4:00.86
the memo (lols): Being URD URL means breakdancing(BDD), UUR Normal.
Normal means just do corner changing alg. :D

I really want to get good at this... and do 3x3 ofc

Congrats, it feels so good to get your first success. I recommend you check out Noah's tutorial for 3x3, it's not as hard as it seems. I started just as the tutorial was coming out, and now I've got a sub-4 PB.
