Yay, I took the time to sit down and learn M2! It was actually easier than I thought. Just using M2 instead of a T-perm. What is considered a usually better BLD method, 3OP or M2? If their about equal, it's okay, but if it's like Roux to Fridrich (for the speed aspect anyway) then I want to know.
Dunno, since Roux and Fridrich are equal for speed
I think M2/R2 (or M2/classic poch) generally has a little more potential than standard 3OP, but 3OP is a much better stepping stone to freestyle/BH, if you think you will want to go in that direction.
Hmm...
Maybe a UWR-list only for BLD events?
Could be fun And it would also be a nice inspiration do do inofficial puzzles BLD.
Like rainbow cube, 2x2x3, Domino Cube, 3x3x4 etc.

I am so happy!
It has been a while, since I have been really, really happy about a cubing record.
So, I did some BLD solves a few days ago, and I got like 10 DNFs in a row, then one success, but it still was very frustrating.
Then today, more BLD. Again a lot of DNFs in a row (~10 again).
Then I finally got a success. It was a fast time too (1:46), which almost felt like a first success
I tried some more solves, and after another 2 successes I thought, "oh nice... This can get a successfull avg5!" (It's been a while since my last one.)
Then:
Wow, 5 successes in a row. This can get my PB of how many solves I can get in a row
Then: 6, 7, 8, 9 successes. Now I started to get nervous. I was like "WHAT... This can get a successfull avg12!"
Argh, DNF... hmm, 2 more attempts and 2 successes.
I decided to do 2 safety solves.
1st: success *phew*
-the finger shaking started-
Solve number 12.
Very slow memo (on purpose), because if I would DNF the solve, I'd be very sad and disappointed.
After my execution, I took a deep breathe and pulled off my blindfold.
The cube was solved. It was an awesome feeling

I want to thank Mike Hughey, because he has been a big inspiration for me by posting his PB averages of 12.
Wow, congratulations, and I'm honored by your thanks. By the way, it took me ages to get a PB average of 12 as fast as what you just got. You've gotten fast very quickly - very awesome job!
I don't think I ever had an avg12, let alone this fast!

Inspired by Mike and Cornelius. After 11 solves I had a 1:39.98 average, so I thought 'I have to get this last one sub-1:40'. Then the last scramble was lol.
Wow, totally awesome. By the way, I totally failed on that last scramble. It took me forever to memorize, because it was just so weird and confusing. And even after that I DNFed it with 2 flipped edges.
Finally got my overall 3x3x3 BLD average in CCT above 70% successful - I've been trying for that for a while now. My CCT times got lost 2 1/2 months ago, so this is only over a period of 2 1/2 months.
Cubing History:
Best time ever: 1:13.58
Best RA of 12: 1:42.06
166/230 Solve average: 1:50.37
And it would also be a nice inspiration do do inofficial puzzles BLD.
