A bit easy but still a good time

Still pretty damn good! Can't wait to finally get back to 4BLD

 

[DennisStrehlau]

Yes! I just got a 1:05.87 BLD solve. I already had two sub-1s, i know, but this was done with M2/TuRBo corners.

~ 35 seconds memo
~ 30 seconds execution

Happy with the execution time

Greetings, Dennis

1:25.78 BLD
New PB after so many attempts of breaking 1:40! I think it was because i trusted my memo and didn't review, giving me a sub 40 memo, i still use old pochmann corners but i had 4 targets only, edges were as normal with M2, also my success rate has improved and average times down to abot 2:05. Can say the same about success rate on 4BLD and 5BLD

1:43.33 single
PB by 22.00

Done in the Blindfold Race 2012-39 scramble 7. Had ~40 second memo (edges in 23!!) and did a BH comm on one of my corner cycles. Used some freestyle edge stuff rather than do a 3 cycle with M2. It could've been faster, but I paused at the end for a few seconds cause I felt sure I should have had more edge images, but I couldn't remember any others.

Nice! Great improvement!

I haven't practiced bld in like, two months.

Thanks I stopped reviewing my memo so many times and almost all my times are sub3, most sub 2:30. My accuracy is still lame though, but I think it's getting a little better. I had my first bld ao5 the other day! I'm doing nothing but blind and pyra until CSP but that is seeming to mean mostly bld with a little pyra lol

TuRBo corners execution (while blindfolded of course):

I got these 4 results out of ONE average of 12:

average of 12 - 14.56 seconds

average of 5 - 13.80

mean of 3 - 12.63

single - 9.18

I am getting faster and will get more fast..

Question to the people who use advanced M2: Do you guys use it intuitively or do you know the cases that work and those wich doesnt work and how to set them up?

Greetings, Dennis

Got my first ever sub 4 out of nowhere. 3:40.28. I'm getting to a point to where i'm just doing BLD solves no problem, less and less DNF's, now if only i could find a competition near me that hosted BLD

Another short victory for POOP!
I'm also 3styling EP because it's getting a lot easier.

Question to the people who use advanced M2: Do you guys use it intuitively or do you know the cases that work and those wich doesnt work and how to set them up?

I don't use it but I have the strong guess that it is like M2 or even F2L: First it is intuitive but with some practise you just know the cases.

I don't use it but I have the strong guess that it is like M2 or even F2L: First it is intuitive but with some practise you just know the cases.

Definitely this for me. I started by trying to find setups wherever I could, then with practice it got to the point where I can just associate a letter pair with an alg, including cancellations etc.

Thanks guys. I thought about some ways and i also find that THIS is the best way to do it.

EDIT: Whats your average for edges with advM2?
And what do you think how fast execution can get? I also mean like compared to normal M2. How many seconds can you save in avg?

My first sub-1 with TuRBo corners! I am SOOO happy!

58.70 seconds

Memo ~ 27 seconds

Execution ~ 31 seconds

No lucky cases or anything. Good "look ahead" on the corners while solving. So i could think of corner #3/4 while solving #1/2 and so on..I feel really comfortable with TuRBo already..

Failure and accomplishment... Inspired by Maskow's 72/77 video, I tried 12 cubes. (12 is the amount of "decent" cubes I have, as in cubes that don't require wrist turns to turn) The most I had ever tried before was 8, and I didn't even solve all of those. Anyway, my memo was 1:03, and the total time was 1:29. Result: 5/12. 3 of those I knew I messed up, the rest I don't know what happened. One of the unsolved ones was the first cube. >.<

Unsolved cubes:
1 off by 2 corners, 2 edges
1 off by 3 corners
1 off by 3 edges
1 off by 6 edges
1 off by 5 corners
1 off by 8 corners, 2 edges
1 off by 4 corners, 4 edges

It was a great, difficult attempt, and I feel proud of myself for trying it.

New 3x3x3 BLD TuRBo record:

58.03 seconds

No lucky cases or anything. Normal scramble.

(PB is still 57.52 seconds, but i didnt use TuRBo for corners at this time and now i only use TuRBo)
