Now I'm officially switch to M2 + Old pochmman...


average... sub 5 minutes
PB 3:40

But soon, I will get faster...

What are your avg Memo and solve times? im at the same point as you now

Good to know....
Memo average 1:30 to 2 minutes....
solving time... around the same time...

what's your BLD method? I wonder how we can get faster... My target for now is just rearch sub 3, then learn all OLL.....my speed sucks...

Come on tim, learn english as long as you didn't so much as glimpse at the 5x5, I'll let it pass.

Haha, all movies in german television are synchronized, so it's not my fault .

I thought you didn't have a tv

That's true, but my father has one

Well, it's not good for your BLDing. Throw it out.

Not true - it's great for BLDing! The more you practice BLD with distractions, the better you do in competition.

yeah, how could you say its not good? he got his first 5x5 success in a long time while watching tv so its obviously not bad.

EDIT: third success, 6:12.72, its a PB, but not by much.

This is addicting, I just wish I was more accurate with my edges. My last 5 DNFs have all had solved corners.

average... sub 5 minutes
PB 3:40

But soon, I will get faster...

What are your avg Memo and solve times? im at the same point as you now

Good to know....
Memo average 1:30 to 2 minutes....
solving time... around the same time...

what's your BLD method? I wonder how we can get faster... My target for now is just rearch sub 3, then learn all OLL.....my speed sucks...

I also use M2 and Classic pochmann. My PB is nog 3:13.59.
Memo also takes 1:30(good) tot 2 min(bad ), and a good solve takes also around 1:30.
soon i want to try and time edges with a buzzer at 1 min. and then drop that time bit by bit. goal is 1 min memo for the whole cube. But i'm still in progress of learning the Letters for the corners.
And i also notice the solving part gets faster when you get more used to it.
so goal for now: 59 sec memo and 59 sec solve

I'm also using the same method and at about the same speed!
For me, times are quite inconsistent. Memo can be 45 second to 2min30 seconds, usually 1min30seconds. Execution is usually a little under 2 minutes.

PB is 2:30, average is just under 4 minutes.

MY ACCOMPLISHMENT:

Pyraminx finally blindfolded! Visual memo and time was 2:24 using TuRBo. It takes forever to realize which alg to use for which cycle. I think I'll probably practice speed more and get better look ahead to speed BLD it.

So I should get a wife and kids like you

I can agree to that. My first 5x5BLD solve was on a crowded bus!

4th success: 3:59.58, from the weekly comp:

Its on video, I'll get it up today sometime.

 

[fanwuq]

Congrats, David! How did you get a pb by over 2 minutes?
I wish I can do that.

I only did 2 BLD solves today. First one was quite nice

2:55.49 D L F D B' F D L' D' L2 R B' F2 L2 U2 R' D' U' F2 D B2 F' D2 L2 B2

2nd was the worst DNF I had in a long time. Time wasn't horrible, but no pieces were solved at all.

 

[DavidWoner]

Congrats, David! How did you get a pb by over 2 minutes?

Just have low accuracy and be very inconsistent with your times.

 

[VirKill]

I also use M2 and Classic pochmann. My PB is nog 3:13.59.
Memo also takes 1:30(good) tot 2 min(bad ), and a good solve takes also around 1:30.
soon i want to try and time edges with a buzzer at 1 min. and then drop that time bit by bit. goal is 1 min memo for the whole cube. But i'm still in progress of learning the Letters for the corners.
And i also notice the solving part gets faster when you get more used to it.
so goal for now: 59 sec memo and 59 sec solve

My PB is like 3:10 (classic pochmman), with lucky scramble 2 edge solved.
with m2+old pochmman it's 3:20 non lucky

Hey, that buzzer idea is great. I think I should start train them separately. Like, edge memo, corner memo, with countdown timer.
59 sec solve will be the long journey for me....It takes 40 second (ish) just to solve corner with old pochmman

Another accomplishment today : 3:47.42 secs in the morning rush!

 

[martijn_cube]

yeah 59 is to fast for me too, for now. but i've had a sighted solve of 1:27. and a read-of-paper solve of 1:15. so i think with good practice a bld solve can be faster then that, because you now what is next.
I like the M2, but i'm reading about commutators for the corners. maybe i can change to that in the future.

 

[vloc15]

8 min and 16.49 seconds
my third BLD solve ever!hahaha

so many DNF's

 

[VirKill]

I just got a new PB! 3:03.27! (2 corner in the right place)

my read-of-paper solve is 1:45 my sighted solve is even much slower....
Yea...corner commutator is very appealing...but I assume that learn it and get used to it will takes a looong time for me.

by the way, for a minutes I pretend like I'm in a competition, doing BLD solve and.... It was 4:13!!!! Oh, my god... I thought I constantly sub 4....I should getting used to do BLD under distraction and pressure...

 

[MatsBergsten]

Learning Turbo

Finally, after 21 long days with only DNF:s (and not too many of those either) I'm on the road again with a 3x3BLD.

Turbo? No, almost 5 minutes. But not a DNF

 

[cmhardw]

After not practicing BLD at all for about 2 weeks I finally tried some 3x3x3 BLD. First solve was 2:25.82 and second was 1:35.63, no DNFs! I'm very happy with the second one, and I hope the first one is me just trying to knock the rust off. I can tell that I need to rehearse my images again to regain my speed and fluency with encoding, but otherwise I'm glad to be roughly my old speed despite not practicing for a while!

Very nice, Chris. I've often wondered what a long time off would do to one's times. (I've not taken two weeks off ever since starting - it's scary to think of doing it!)

(Oh, and thanks for the phone text message Christmas greeting! It took me a while to figure out it was you.)

3:03 is very nice. my best fail is 3:02.
I'm reading joels commutator paige now, trying to understand it. But it will indeed take a long time to master it. But still the memo i now use can also be used for freestyle i think, so thats a good thing. first priority is getting memo down, en doing a succesfull solve on a competition. after that i can try to use freestyle stuff.
