Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I just got my second 3BLD success of all time! Hooray!

The whole thing where N is the number of targets you're supposed to have, and then you add 1 to N for every new cycle and subtract 1 from N for every solved piece is really helpful.

I'M SO EXCITED LET'S GOOOO

edit: I just got 3rd success and it only took like 14 minutes or so omfg i'm a god.

. . .4th. . .guys this is really fun

D' R2 F2 L2 D' L2 U2 B2 U F2 U F' U' B2 D' F' L' F' R2 D2

Edit: Re-watched, and I don't think anyone makes funnier faces when they do BLD than I do. :p Might have to work on keeping a straight face...

Getting back into practising, got a little demotivated with my low success rate at 100% comms so now just using the ones I'm sure of/can think to do at full speed:

1:39.80 Ao5 w/ 1:35.17 Mo3

(1:32.76[47.07]), 1:39.58[46.13], 1:33.17+[42.19], 1:46.64[55.21], DNF(1:27.70)[31.85]

Last solve was DNF by an S' that messed up edges, not entirely sure how I managed that.

Sweet! I just got my fourth 3BLD succes today too! It was about 9:00 min. Anyway it's become my favourite part of cubing.

Wow, nice. US Nationals this year could be quite amazing for BLD, what with all the new awesome solvers coming in this year (you, Sreeram, Cale, etc.) plus all the good people we already have. Maybe a sub-30 podium? :)

Edit: I see Poland has already accomplished that (in 2013!). Still, the US may be able to manage it and join the club this year.

Thanks all! :) I've been trying to beat my on video best (used to be 28). Got a 27 two BLD attempts before the 25, but the timer was a bit cut out of the frame, so I was pleasantly surprised with the 25, hence the post-solve reaction. :p

Also, Ollie, I am definitely not faster than you yet! Still trying to get comfortable incorporating new moves into solves ha. :) Still DNFing way more than I should.

Even outside of Nats this should be a good year for US BLD! :) At the minimum I think we'll see 3BLD, 4BLD, and 5BLD records broken (no idea about multi). A success for Cale in 5bld this weekend basically equals US NR and NAR, and 4BLD is possible for him as well.
Anyone sub 40 with a nice scramble has a shot at beating 3BLD NR.
Hopefully the location for Nats will be announced in due time.

Sub 30 podium would be very nice to see, though sub-1 podiums aren't too common in the US outside of major competitions (though there was one at my last comp - Virginia Open Fall 2014).
 
First sub-1:30 mean:

1:16.81[28.03], 1:25.25[40.06], 1:43.49[40.51] = 1:28.52

Whole session from today and yesterday was 21/50, mean = 1:38.70. Success rate kinda sucks but other than that decent considering it's the first proper session I've done in a while.
 
Broke my 2BLD PBs. Single took the longest but I suddenly broke it by over 2 seconds.
