Hey guys, I'm relatively new to this serious BLD thing but I got a 7/7 MBLD on my first attempt, when my last MBLD attempt was a PB of 4/4! Just learned the rooms method, and I'm just amazed at how powerful it is. MBLD has gotten immensely easier overnight, so many doors opened lol (sorry, but pun intended)

I did 7 since I only have 7 3x3's...I guess it's time to buy some more!

Wow, nice! My PB is 8 points from like a year ago, I bet you'll beat that on your first attempt

 

[sigalig]

Got a successful 4BLD average of 5 and mo3! The average of 5 contains my 3rd-6th ever 4BLD successes. 3 of these successes were PB singles also. My second success which I got a couple of days ago was 17:34, so I'm really excited about this

When I got that 13:06 PB I punch the table and cut my hand cus I was so excited lol.

(I manually added the memo times after the total solve times 'cus I don't know how to get CStimer to do that automatically.)

Dude that's crazy. By the looks of you WCA profile, you've improved really quickly. And PS, I'm in the bay area too. You should have come to BASC 9, it was super fun.

 

[sigalig]

PB mo3 with a PB single wooo. Crazy thing, PB mo3 before today was 2:09.11...yeah I think I just have terrible consistency cus I try to push my memo too hard. Today I got lucky.

What's your memo techniques?

 

[sigalig]

What's your memo techniques?

I use letter pairs to make words to form a sentence for corners, and then I usually group every four letters into a made up word for edges.
For example, that 1:22.33 single my corner letters were JQWKCT which I made into "JacQues is WeaK so he didn't make the CuT".
For edges I had OCABHULDNQOQ. So I said in my head the word OCAB, then HULD, then just remembered there's an N at the end. For the Q O Q, or any 3 target long cycle like that, I typically just remember visually what the cycle is and execute it at the end.

thanx, switching to 3style really made me faster
I wanted to go to BASC 9 but by the time I was signing up it was full. And it doesn't look like there are any comps around here soon.

At my next comp I'll try to beat my PB by more than 2 minutes

There's no any secret. I thought the same like you. Only pracitce. I do memo now in 20-30 sec and I do exactly the same things when I memoed in 1 minute. Only practice and time.

Ah that's too bad. Yeah I'm sure you'll beat that PB by a whole lot...I guess I'll shoot to beat mine by at least a minute for the next comp. I'm assuming there'll probably be a Berkeley Fall 2016 but if not then most likely at least a Berkeley Winter 2016. Maybe I'll see you there.

Yeah I guess I knew there isn't really a secret, since the methods for memo that I use now are the ones that Noah Arthurs talks about in his video about how to get faster at 3BLD, and he said these methods got him to an average of ~12 seconds for memo.

Finished my first blind solve yesterday 16:43

...that counts as an accomplishment right?

Edit: 3x3 BLD for clarification lol

Lots of sub 40s from today
39.74, 36.21, 36.29, 35.99, 36.79, 32.01 and 33.03

and a 44.90 with a pretty bad scramble
B2 L D2 U2 L2 U2 R D2 F2 L' F2 U' B' U' F D' F2 R F2 L B'

hoping to get sub 40 in comp

Probably the biggest accomplishment in all of your blind endeavors! The hard part is over. My first 3bld success took probably a week or so and ~15 attempts. 4bld took two days to learn and 2 attempts. It gets easier and easier with practice.

 

[sigalig]

3BLD PB, 1:10.26[30.69]. Beat my last PB by ~9 seconds. Really trying to push to that sub-1 barrier...

and a couple random good solves
