4BLD pb: 4:19.68
finally good lord
Could've been a sub-4, but i've been practicing slowing down on my exec a bit to raise my accuracy. (also my yuxin is prone to popping so there's that too)

edit: 4bld mo3: 5:26.98, i safety solved the HELL out of that last solve. 5:02.88, 4:19.68, 6:58.39

LOL still at 20% accuracy with 22/110. Two successes today were 1:19 and 1:22. The 1:22 could have been much faster because during edges I was supposed to execute e but did o by accident, so the sequence went o-e-e to undo the mistake. Obviously those are not the fastest algs in M2, so that cost me a bit

Are you rushing?

sub me

are you using full 3style?

are you using full 3style?

3style corners and centers, partial r2 and comms for edges. Haven't learned the algs for the middle slice edges yet

Yes, I've been really pushing my memo times trying to make them faster. My theory is that once I get used to that speed, I will eventually be able to start pulling my accuracy back up as well. Is that valid or would you suggest something else?

that's the best strategy imo. safe and slow=no improvement. push limits=get faster

Hollllly moly. I just surprised myself.
Yesterday I got excited about Please Be Quiet 2017 being announced, and decided my main goal is a 20/20 multiBLD. Tried it yesterday, not expecting to get sub-1 hour and I ended up getting 11/20 in 1:13. That was dissapointing.

Just tried it again today (1 day later!), got 17/20 in 1:02.44! I rushed memo and somehow only forgot the corner memo for one cube, a 3 edge cycle for another cube, and a 3 corner cycle for another one. Really proud of this--has me definitely thinking that 20/20 is possible.

[edit: I always film executions so that I can see where I went wrong and what not, and I got 16 cubes before the 1 hour mark so this actually beats my PB of 13/15 in 59:31.27 lol]

About 4 3:10 singles I'm pretty happy with today but no sub 4's

Wow, nice!!! That's a huge jump in times and accuracy (Now I feel pressured because my pb is still 20/20)

As a side note, I have a competition on the same month as PBQ 2017 called Singapore Open 2017. My goal is 25/25 but obviously to achieve that quickly I need to start working a lot on my memory system as well as switching to M2/3style.

Yep, agreed. Accuracy will naturally come back later on, providing you are not developing any really bad habits.

Sounds good, thanks for the advice!

4bld 4:10.14.
Memo was ~1:55 again, but my exec was on POINT. If I had an aosu (or thunderclap springs for my yuxin) i could exec MUCH MUCH faster without risking pops. And this was for speedsolving weekly 49 too

Pretty sweet 3BLD session today, ten solves, slowest memo was a 36, fastest was a 27.
2/10 successes (how am I so consistently at exactly 20%!?)
New single pb as well, 1:08.77. Splits were 32.56/36.21

Interestingly, I find that probably 40% of my DNF's are because I do edges (and usually find them correct), then completely forget corner memo. I think I am going to need to focus on better images for them. My edges are getting much better since I refreshed my letter-pair list recently.

I don't think UF is better, but it might be. That's why I'm learning it so I can compare to DF. Once I become 100% comfortable with UF I'll see which buffer I'm faster with
