Now to improve my success rate. Tips?

MBLD, It gives you a great idea weather you need to break into a new cycle. The two events really help each other.

brb gonna try a 2 cube MBLD now

 

[AlphaSheep]

Of my last 7 attempts:
1 success
1 had just two edges and two corners swapped (I just forgot to fix parity)
1 had just a 3 edge cycle left
1 had just a 3 corner cycle left
3 had one edge and the buffer flipped.

And all of these were about 2 minutes faster than my previous PB.

In fact, it feels like I've only got three problems left to work on to get a 100% success rate -
1. accidentally swapping 2 letters during recall
2. missing flipped edges during memo
3. forgetting to do the parity fix (I think this one's sorted though)

3BLD -- 5:06.73
I can't remember the last time I had a success, until this morning. Not super fast, and I messed up an alg partway through (how hard can a J-perm be?) which I had to go back and fix (because I sort of knew what I had done wrong, so I had to undo the alg to that step, fix the step, then complete the alg...), so I was pretty surprised when I saw the cube was solved.

I second this even though I don't do single BLD all that much.

I dont second this idea. IMO there is no sense in doing mbld while your success rate in single bld is <50%. You'll just mostly end up with ong memos and frustrating dnfs.

I say better practise 3bld until you have good accuracy before moving to multibld (or bigbld). It's much less frustrating that way

This worked for me when I was trying to improve my 3BLD. It took a little while but I got it. Still, everyone has different ways of learning and getting better so whatever works will work.

I agree with you on accuracy. But I got a lot better at 3BLD after practicing multi, since doing multi attempts lets you: rehearse letter pairs, replace bad ones with better ones on the fly, improve execution time etc.

I got the closest to a success I had ever. The time was also my best it was a 5:30.88 DNF.

The cube was six edges off.

HD QA BV LI MJ TE was the edge memo and on MJ I think a did MD instead Still in the 30 attempts I've done that is the closest. I need no work on memo and have words for all letter pairs. Thinking of them on the fly is hard when you get bad ones.

I saw you posted in here and I thought you finally got a success

Keep at it though!

hopefully soon. I feel if I had made that mistake I would of gotten a success. Still it could to get closer to a solved cube.

2:55.08 3BLD the other day. My semester break starts tomorrow, so it looks like it's time to start learning M2 edges.

Yeah I agree with you that MBLD helps 3BLD also (and vice versa). But as you also said: It's better to practise 3BLD until your accuracy gets better

P.S. Some simple math: If your accuracy on a very slow and safety 3BLD solve is 40% for example you get only 0.4^3=6.4% chance to get 3 cubes MBLD right...
Even if you can raise it to just 60% you already have much better chance at succeeding. 0.6^3=21.6%. That's over 3 times as high as with 40% accuracy

Very lucky centers centers/wings/corners = 10!!/27/8 (+wing parity)center memo was done at ~25s rest of the memo was pretty normal and execution was good but nothing that amazing... Centers were just so damn lucky

lol, accuracy on a SAFETY solve should be 99%
