56.69 lucky. like 3 edges solved.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Yes!!!! Finally I broke my string of 10 big cube BLD DNFs! I got a 9:35.19 on the first 4x4x4 BLD this week (I DNFed the second one), and then for the third one I got 7:45.31! My first ever sub-8! Woohoo!!!!! I've been waiting so long for it - I thought I might never get it.

@byu: Yes, it's not lucky. Amazing - you've already got a legitimate sub-1 solve! You're unofficially world-class now! (Now you need to make it official at a competition. )

Congrats Mike! As hard as you work for it, you really deserve this milestone! I don't think it'll be long before you're averaging sub-8 ;-)

Thanks so much, Chris! That means especially much coming from you!

Anyone want a video?

Yes.

That's amazing. I'm astonished that you can do it that reliably.

Oh, and I'd also like to mention that I got a nice near-success at the end of my birthday: 3x3x3 multi - 9/10, 50:59.40 (32:26). Just 2 edges flipped on cube 6 - I memorized the wrong sticker on a piece.

 

[Faz]

Mike - Speedbld 2x2 is very reliable. I get 2-3 move first sides , then see the oll, then pbl.

Video of 3 solves is uploading.

 

[byu]

I always get mixed up. Is speedbld solving the cube using a normal non-BLD method, or is it execution only timing?

 

[Faz]

It is just like normal Bld, except you use your normal speed method.

 

[MatsBergsten]

Yes!!!! Finally I broke my string of 10 big cube BLD DNFs! I got a 9:35.19 on the first 4x4x4 BLD this week (I DNFed the second one), and then for the third one I got 7:45.31! My first ever sub-8! Woohoo!!!!! I've been waiting so long for it - I thought I might never get it.

Aha, missed this. What a birthday present!! Congratulations!!!

first time ever doing a nonstop average of 5, and a new PB! sub 5!!! oh and the first one was really hard so i went slow

Funny. Nice way to take advantage of the rules. It's pretty clear you're not even trying to bother to memo AUF. And if it makes you consistent, why not? I think it's great that you can be that consistent. Nice job!

I think that the WCA may change these rules

3x3 BLD PB (non lucky): 2:27:34 (1:04:15)
I didn't realize lubing my cube would make such a difference in my execution speed!

3x3 BLD PB (non lucky): 2:27:34 (1:04:15)
I didn't realize lubing my cube would make such a difference in my execution speed!

I know, I just cleaned and lubed my cube and just got a PB of 4:08.xx (2nd scramble in the weekly comp)

I just trusted my memo 1st time and went for it and it paid off. I hope I can get faster, it might be time to learn M2 for edges.

 

[SimonWestlund]

3x3 BLD PB!

3:02.46

Learning M2 ATM.. gonna learn either R2 or OP for corners soon. Right now I use a kind of bad method that I don't know what it's called..
