22/23 MBLD NR in 53:13! Took me way to long to get it

53 minutes is not that long xD
seriously, gj

 

[joshsailscga]

Two nice 3BLD sessions today, totaling 70 solves (14 successes).
mean was 1:30.99, memo 34.49, exec 56.49.
Had a 1:09.48 solve which probably could have been pb if I hadn't had a really slow memo and execution due to somebody trying to start and continue a conversation with me mid-solve

Late night 3BLD ao12: 25.50.

Now to work on competition anxiety so I can get WR mo3... (or at least sub-25 )

 

[fp4316]

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

UF is objectively better

 

[mark49152]

UF is objectively better

Objectively on what measure?

 

[fp4316]

Objectively on what measure?

Comms are the same for the most part (or arguably better, even), especially for edges where any case has a sub1-able comm. The reason it's better is because UF/UFR give the best 400+ 1C1E parity algs, and they are the first pieces you see when starting your memo. It's a small difference, but using UF/UFR as your primary buffers is probably the easiest way to be sub-20 global.

And now production of the evolution of my recent 3BLD PB singles:

3:01.54[2:11.05] - So close to sub-3

DNF

DNF

2:48.62[1:44.32] - Yus! sub-3

Thank you, thank you

Now, I need a better mean and ao5. Both are sup-7 and from months ago.
It would probably help if I practiced outside the weekly comp, which I will now!

First 5BLD attempt... 32:06 DNF by three midges.

Calling it a success since I was so close for my first attempt, but still really frustrated.

 

[Jacck]

Merry Christmas to all! And a big Thank you to all who run the WCA and the forums, who delegate, organize and hold comps and a special thanx to all (those very few) who were placed behind me in the weekly competition this year

And here comes the blind accomplishment: Santa and the Weihnachtsgan

dude... fix your comms! this could have easily been sub 18.

 

[Daniel Lin]

dude... fix your comms! this could have easily been sub 18.

which cases are you talking about

 

[fp4316]

which cases are you talking about

that floating buffer is really bad, not sure of a better case though because I am still working on DF

for the second consider [F2 : [E' , R U' R']] or [r U' E' : R' E' R2 E R']

third do L to S 8 mover, sub ~0.7s

fourth do [E' , l' U l] sub ~0.6s

last corner comm you should really use the RUD 9 mover

if you want my unsolicited advice: don't learn UF comms until you learn how to properly come up with advanced comms, it's pointless to try to compare the buffers or learn new comms when in reality you will have to replace hundreds of them later on.

let me test you on some random cases:
DF->RD->FR
DF->FR->BL
DF->FU->BD
DF->UF->RF
UBL->DFL->BUR
UBL->FDL->UBL
UBL->FDR->LUF
UF->BR->FL

Just got my first 4BLD success! My third attempt ever, with the time 19:28.87 [15:14.92], which is over a minute below the Norwegian NR. I'm going for a sub-15 NR single at Nationals in March. Now onto learn 5BLD since I'm also going for 5BLD NR. Also just curious, how good of a 4BLD time is this considering I average ~4:30 at 3BLD?
