Suddenly berkeley comps are going to be a lot harder :p
oh, so you live the bay area?

Do you know any other semi-fast people around here?
At the last berkeley comp everyone was pretty slow except for Riley

Yep, I go to Berkeley. Tim is not so bad but he doesn't really practice anymore. I actually organized the last Berkeley comp you went to but I was super sick and wasn't even able to come. You can look me up on Facebook if you want. My name is Ishaan Agrawal.
 
Nice. Scramble is nothing special either. Are you on 3-style yet?
The scramble had really smooth memo, from my orientation at least, 10 edge targets and 8 corner targets, so I found it pretty easy. I'm still using M2/OP, I'm kind of considering learning 3 style soon, but I think I may focus a bit more on non-BLD events soon.
Also thanks to Rob Y because I got the 45 on his cube :)

What do you think is the fastest you can go with M2/OP? Sub-40 with sub10 memo?

Yeah it's not a hard one, but it's not like you had a bunch of pieces already solved so nice job getting a PB on it. Nice time for M2/OP too. What's your memo/exec split like now?

Memo usually is about 30 seconds, but it can be sub 20. Execution is usually about 30-35, but I isually have a couple of seconds pause between corners and edges, so I average about 1:10.

Lol, with these times you will surely reckt everyone else at Singapore 333 cube comp
 
First 5BLD success! On my second attempt. Took it ridiculously slow because I just wanted to make sure I got it. Total time, 45:25.30, 30:59.83 memo.

My first attempt was off by 6 +centers, and I realized it was because I solved midges before centers, and I use a couple M2 algs that I didn't know permuted centers. This time I went +centers->xcenters->wings->midges->corners, and it worked. Also had parity on everything but wings.
you can thank me later

My first comp was Berkeley Spring 2016, got my first official BLD solve at 4:40 lol. And yeah there were a couple 1:xx solves I think but Riley was by far faster than everybody else. At BASC 9 it was a similar story. Somehow I got third place in multibld with 3/3 in 20 minutes while Riley had first with 16/17 haha so yeah...not a lot of fast BLD solvers it seems
 
Finally got my first successful 3BLD average of 12! (meaning no more than 1 DNF)
About time...

Once I got to that 8th solve I really started trying to be safe, which definitely is obvious from the times...


EDIT: Oh yeah, first 3 solves make a 1:34.44 PB mo3 :)

Your times are crazy fast for bigbld and mbld compared to 3bld. Just practice those more?
