Pretty good 3BLD Ao5, a mere 3 seconds away from my PB (which I beat just yesterday):

I forced my TPS a lot on those solves, and had warmed up before so the execution flowed very well.

Three memos on the 20's range is also surprising and shows great improvement. As a matter of fact, I just checked and within my last 100 solves I had only one sup-1:40 Ao5 so I'm confident that I've finally crossed the sub-1:40 barrier

I should really learn 3style now, or at least some Orozco. My goal of being sub-1 by the end of the year can easily be smashed as soon as I grow a pair and take the leap

Your memo is getting gooooood. Any tips to improve mine

Try rushing - it's a high risk maneuver with a super high payout. I alternate some rushing solves with safer ones, but don't really have a set pattern for it. Depends on how I feel at the moment.

Also memorize flipped edges visually (in case you don't do this yet). I've been trying to do the same thing with corners, but find them more difficult. One of my long term goals is being able to do full visual for Edges, as I think it can speed up the memo by an astounding margin.

Corners dont work in the recon? Really curious to walk through this solve, GJ

The x in the first corner comm (the off-buffer one) was an x', fixed it. Thanks

I actually do memo flipped edges visually. You use images for corners and audio edges right? I do full audio so maybe I just need to cut down on repitions.

Yup! At this point it actually depends a lot on the scrambles, tbh. Sometimes they lead me into ridiculously easy memo strings that I memo in one go (like, recently I think I had a solve with 17.xx memo, I mean... What the hell, right) and then the following scramble gives me a completely random string of letter pairs + Parity that I spend like 1 minute, sometimes even more (thankfully that's sort of rare now), coming up with a strong memo for.

It's not even that I prefer to play safe all too often, it's just that every now and then the scramble is objectively not good for my images / audio pairs, so if I rushed I wouldn't get to memorize pretty much anything.

This kind of situation is fortunately becoming rarer, but they're nevertheless good learning opportunities

 

[kake123]

11:16 official 4bld, also failed a mean by 1 move but meh

Also @kake123 got a 5bld mean

That official 5BLD mean also happens to be my overall pb (because I don't have a mo3 unofficially)
Also first time competing in 5BLD

Results from yesterday's comp:
5BLD: 14:37.00
4BLD: 5:00.41

Here is a link for any of you guys interested in the 5BLD mo3:

4BLD PB - 4:31.06 [1:57.46]

Been messing around with improvising corner comms in the hopes I can speed up memo by using audio for corners. But this also happened to be a very nice scramble.

 

[Cale S]

5BLD - 4:53.84 [1:49]

had to undo a comm that I did too early

followed by 5:05 DNF, 5:07 success, 4:58 DNF by 3 centers
I seem to be averaging around 5:00 with my attempts

1st 5BLD solve for the weekly comp

14:35.26 [6:55.80]

PB by over a minute. Also, I had a bit of a stumble during memo so even this has room for improvement

Tried that and got 1:17 which would be a 9s PB if it counted.

The weekly BLD comp delivered beautifully. PB Single and Ao12!

 

[G2013]

I just improved my official 48.26 3BLD single to 31.83 keklol (done at Latin America Tour Montevideo, results not posted yet)

 

[guysensei1]

23:35 5bld dnf by one move or smth

Still no 3rd success
