Today in comp I got a 21:47 5bld success this means my official 5BLD time is now faster than my official 4BLD time

Side note I was two + centers off of getting a 17:34 5BLD success

Side Side note I also got a 1:18 3BLD in comp which is an overall pb for me

Side Side Side note I went 6/6 across two rounds of 3BLD for a total of 2 means (2:06 and 1:47)

5/5 Multi-Blind in 30:27.34 [22:53.48]

Too many outside distractions during memo, but I'm glad it all worked out.

Some of the letter pairs were terrible and I don't have good images for them yet (EH, AL, IF, KC, CZ) as well as waaaay too many flipped edges for my liking. Ended up visually memorizing them in one of the cubes, which surprisingly worked.

Reviewing just once after memorizing the first 4 cubes had a dramatic impact in the time. If I remember who suggested me this, I'll thank them formally because I absolutely loved it.

If I force myself to practice Multi more often, 10 cubes should be doable in a month or so.

I don't use Z so I wouldn't know CZ :P
EH- Canadian (steroitipically say eh and sorry a lot lol)
AL- aluminum can
IF- infection (but I do like Eiffel Tower so I might use that now)
KC- KFC or Kit Clement :P

Ha, funny you should say that because I actually pictured a Canadian friend of mine for EH :P

I settled on Alien for AL and Kurt Cobain for KC. For IF, Eiffel Tower seems like a very good option so I might use it.

I done did a 3BLD!
It only took 15 minutes or so :) (I wasn't timing it, but I did look at the clock before and after the solve.)

I'm using Old Pochmann for edges and corners. After a few more successes (basically after I get the hang of it,) I'm switching to M2.

Edges: AX DeaL SaP ViN, EC UR C (EC= extra credit, easy to remember; UR is the abbreviation for "your" that people tend to use.)

Parity

Corners: BoP CaL TIcK (California on a piñata! With clocks inside instead of candy!)
 
GJ! It gets only better from now on. The first solve is an unforgettable thrill! :D

Let me know if you have any questions regarding M2. Paired with OP Corners it makes for a very strong method overall.

Good job! Also you should think about Turbo, another great method. Personally I like it more than M2. Try both of them and use the one that you like.

I'm not sure if I should count this as PB, because I have a 24.50 mo3 where I used random orientation and box... and in this new one I didn't care about that at all :P

25/33 multiBLD in 59:52.59[38:19.45]. Terrible accuracy but first time getting 33 cubes sub-hour so thats a bit of a milestone :)
69.69 (lol) seconds memo per cube, my best ever by a good bit. 39.19 exec per cube, very bad for my standards now, but that just means I should easily be able to improve memo and get 35 exec per cube and get near 55 minutes total :D

Not sure if I wanna upload the video cus the accuracy was so bad tho
 
There it is! PB single and my first sub-20 :)

I scrambled it in my own orientation and I didn't use a box or anything. My buffers are DF and UBL and I solve corners first.

[U2, R' D' R] // CP (8/8)
[D', R' U R] // HT (8/16)
[U R'; R' D' R, U2] // FB (11/27)

[L U'; U' R U, M'] // PH (11/38)
[U; M', U L' U'] // MF (9/47)
[M2, U R' U'] // AT (8/55)
M U M' U2 M' U' M U2 // EW (8/63)
[x z: U' R U, M'] // GV (8/71)

Memo: ~7.5
Exec: ~11.5
71 STM / 11.5 = 6.17 STPS
