Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[sigalig]

So in preparation for the competition this weekend that has all blind events including 3 MBLD attempts, I was doing a bunch of big MBLD attempts at home, 1 every day. I wanted to see if I could manage this without the long term memory making successive attempts worse. Turns out that the long term memory was definitely an issue.
On the second day in a row I forgot an entire cube on a 27 cube attempt, which almost never happens to me in MBLD. The third day in a row, I forgot 4 cubes. That felt soooo terrible--I've never had such an issue with forgetting stuff in MBLD.

So I reluctantly decided to make an entire new memory palace. Now I can do daily attempts and alternate palaces and I think it's working very well
If you have had this issue with long term memory before I highly recommend that you suck it up and just take the time to make a bunch more rooms. It'll totally be worth it.

Previous PB was 38.80. Also, last 3 solves were mo3 36.45(PB by 0.85 sec)
I am extremely happy with that, especially with the 1st and the 5th solve! They are 3rd and 2nd fastest solves ever(the PB is 30.17).

I seem to be making progress, even though I'll get 3.xx solves every now and then during sessions. Got to work on my memo and improving my M2 execution - which is ok, but I never risk canceling setup moves when I have 2 or 3 consecutive targets on the same face, for example. This could save me precious seconds.

5BLD - 4:49.52

3-style practice and Wushuang are great

[Fábio De'Rose]

Due to unrelated circumstances, I'm stuck at home and lost a comp outside of town. The good thing is that oh my gosh, I'm on a roll. Broke all PBs except for Ao12 (yet).

Also got a 2/2 Multi-Blind in 10.xx which is a 2 points PB. Pretty good day so far.

5BLD - 4:40.94

memo was around 1:58
right after a terrible 5:29 which was 2 solves after the 4:49 from yesterday

hyped for comp next week

 

[Fábio De'Rose]

Even though I have compiled a small list of pure OLLs and PLLs which work as 3-cycles, I rarely get the chance of using them, or just freak out and do it old Pochmann school. Some corner cases are already well implemented into my solves, but never used the Edge cases at all until now.

Today on what marked the 500th successful solve of my session, I finally got the chance and went for the kill. It was very exciting, because I can actually sub-1 the alg with ease. This is the one:

x2 M' U M U2 M' U M x2

This may not mean much for most people, but it's the kind of small step that I cherish in my learning curve.
