Well, a fun accomplishment for my 1000th post: I finally got around to starting to learn BLD. I did a corners only solve using OP and letter pairs, and was successful on my first ever try. Being experienced with cubing and having done sighted solves using OP and M2 before helped, obviously. Just never tried BLD before, unless you count partial speedBLD attempts. Perhaps I'll try to keep it up and have a successful first ever edges attempt and a successful first overall solve.

Memo was on and off for half an hour. Execution was 5:24.33. Very slow, but I don't mind. It's a fun first page in the BLD solving chapter of my speedsolving life.

Thanks everyone for being part of a great forum; it's been a fun 1000 posts. ;)
 
my order from lt is defenetly lost at this point, its been 7 weeks, but im able to sub30 average eyes opened, no inspection
also my edges memo is 6.9 average and my corners one is 6.2, so thats pretty good, i should try to solve edges first see if that helps, couse i do have trouble memoing the whole cube, wich slows me down, i dont think it will tho
I was waiting for the valk 3 to make the definitive cubexplorer tested alg list, see if i could use some S turns or something
things are getting really hard for me hardware wise :/
 
Oh, yes. Serving mad realness and scratching close to a PB single.

Got another successful/PB 3BLD ao25 :D
46.59 this time, coming from a previous PB ao25 (and first ever successful ao25) of 52.12.

EDIT: oh yeah, there's also a 38.34 PB ao5 in there, solves 3-7 :)

3BLD 15.82 UWR single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sort of, because I didn't box or mat, and Gianfranco has 16.01 with that)

if you think it's fake, look at the comms
1f609.png
you don't use cycles like that without lots of study. Also it was very lucky, 7 comms / 69 moves.

HOLY ****ING CHRIST

ok I swear to god I am not lying, but I literally just got another 15 3BLD UWR on 7 comms

ignore the ao5 and ao12s and stuff, I wasn't marking DNFs and some of those solves were probably stopped early because I forgot my memo

74 moves ~8s? = 9.25 tps (tps was very fast because of the corner comms, which was easily sub3s on 36 moves)

needless to say this was a really great blind day for me, and I'm super pumped for summer now

I'm also planning a really long multi-part advanced blind tutorial to make over summer, if people have suggestions they can edit them into the section at the very bottom: https://docs.google.com/…/1NLUx_wBAUhQ_rr7p_-XmH-RdQPD…/edit

Amazing! Do you have any list of comms you use? It would be very helpful, I have just reviewed a lot of my algs (especially corners), but they could still be improved.
Looking forward to meet you and other top BLDers at Worlds!

Hi, I don't have a list yet. But over summer I am going to create several lists for blind, and make around ~100 advanced tutorials.

You can see my tentative plans here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NLUx_wBAUhQ_rr7p_-XmH-RdQPD7rpzB6NNakRLFNmg/edit

If you have an idea of a topic to cover that's not on there already, add it in the suggestions at the bottom.

My pb is 1:35 and I got a 1:04 on this scramble. I'm not counting this as a PB, but it's nice to know what I am capable of if I get a good scramble.

EDIT: on another note I just happen to use the same solving orientation as you XP
 
HOLY ****ING CHRIST
i got banned from this forum 8 years ago for way less lol
i guess i just have to watch it to believe that that alg is faster than R2 U' L' U R U' L U R
i would say it wouldve beensub 15 if you did that instead

the RUL 9 movers are slower actually, and even if they were faster, there would be no way its .7s faster than my current alg, which is probably .8s

but yeah, I will make videos on all of these algs soon
 
5BLD Official Overall PB by 27 seconds - 9:03.73[4:30] @ To the Moon 2017
First solve was 10:17. Third solve was DNF by 3 x-centers. Could be mo3.
Could be sub-9, if not that memo forgetting.
When the results will be uploaded on WCA, I will be 22nd in the world.

Also, today I failed 3bld - 3 DNFs.
