Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[sigalig]

This may seem like more of a fail, but I guess it depends on perspective

First ever 6BLD attempt: 45:40.72[28:57.02], DNF by 2 obliques.

First reaction was "Holy **** I completely expected to take off the blindfold and see a scrambled cube"
Delayed reaction was "**** now I have to try this again"

Berta just got Spanish NR in 4BLD and I still haven't convinced her to switch to center coms, will try harder

Congrats Berta! She has a very good chance of a gold at Worlds.

Advanced U2 and r2 are quite move efficient, and centre comms are overrated IMHO. I did the math and will post it if I can find the time

Where would I learn advanced U2?

Where would I learn advanced U2?

it's the same concept as advanced M2. there isn't a tutorial tho. If your buffer is Ubr then you'd try to set one of the targets Ufl.

setup: l2 d' l' U2 l d l' U2 l'
the cycle is (Ubr) Bul Rdf
we can do an l setup which will turn it into (Ubr) Ufl Rdf
then solve with U2:
U2
l d' l' U2 l d l'
then do l' to undo setup

6bld: 50:44.08 [32:00] (weekly competition)
first success after 5 DNFs.
Last 5 attempts I tried memo with PAO, but I haven't had time to write down and learn the words, so I create them on the way - quite stressing and pretty slow.

Not to mention Ishaan got 3bld NAR today. Even more surprising than that: it was on the last solve of his first ever successful mo3 o.O

I still reckon centre comms are really easy and everyone should do them. Pretty sure I used them for my first ever 4BLD, back when I was really terrible at BLD, didn't have a proper memo system, and wasn't using comms for other pieces yet because I was still playing it safe. But my opinion doesn't seem to be popular on this one .

Also, yeah, Berta is getting crazy good. Worlds will be interesting!

and 3 corners

Oh, I thought mine was the contentious opinion .

I agree centre comms are easy, at least for the simple cases, and I do use a few of them. The move count difference from advanced U2 isn't that great though, so it doesn't take much thinking time to make comms slower. U2 is kinda brainless in the same way OP is, so zero pauses.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread for it.

Edit: World class people should learn comms and take every small advantage of course...

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

Well I don't think that part is controversial, more for beginner/intermediate level solving. I get that U2 is less thinking, but centre comms are a really nice way to get comfortable with comms to then start using them for other piece types.

OT: I actually did 4BLD today for the first time in several weeks. It was even solved! ... I have a lot of practice to do before Worlds.

5BLD 10:45.87 [4:33.29]

Finally a successful sub-11 5BLD, although at one point I did mess up when trying to use one of the only comms I know and had to undo it afterwards, so execution could've been a little better, nevertheless I'm very happy with this.

I don't find them easy enough. I need to relearn 4BLD (for the third time) and the U2 buffer seemed silly so I wanted to switch but I haven't worked out all the algs for it...

Now that I know my memo is up to it I'm relearning 4BLD too. I'll be using centre comms (plus U2 for the tricky cases) with Ubl as the buffer. I've worked out some algs and I know I've written them down somewhere...
