Cool thing that I noticed yesterday:

Sukant Koul got true perfect accuracy in all blind events at a competition yesterday! 1 round of 3bld, 1 round of 4bld, 1 round of 5bld, and 1 mbld attempt, and didn't do a single DNF.

39.29 3bld mo3
4:16.42 4bld mo3
12:47.00 5bld mo3
29/29 53:02 mbld

I guess there could be a bit cooler of a "true perfect accuracy" performance if there were 3 mbld attempts, but someone could also just try 2 cubes for each mbld attempt lol.

This is super impressive regardless. Probably has been pulled off less than 10 times in WCA history, I would guess.

Probably a lot less than 10 times. Of all the results currently up on the WCA site (this one isn't yet), there are still only 76 5bld mo3 results ever. And getting n/n multi is also rather rare. I would not be surprised if this is the first time it was ever done; I couldn't find any examples of it being done in the top half of the 5bld mo3 solvers. However, Walker Welch did manage perfection in all but his second multiBLD attempt at Cubing USA Nationals 2019 (multiBLD attempts were 12/12, 10/13).

I just wanted to share my first (sort of) 3BLD mean:

Time List:
1. (DNF(5:36.76)[buffer and target corner twisted]) @2020-02-07 19:39:54
2. 4:28.80 @2020-02-07 19:47:12
3. (3:19.43) @2020-02-08 20:59:01
4. 3:35.90 @2020-02-08 21:03:56
5. DNF(2:43.30)[2 flipped edges, including buffer :-(] @2020-02-08 21:11:22

PB single is 3:16.04, so the last one is especially disappointing.

Yay finally back into 5BLD with a sub10 after switching to Ufr wings last year. Changed the memo order to Corners, +, Wings, Midges, X.
Exec: X, Midges, Corners, + and Wings.

 

[PetrusQuber]

Err, so, second success in one day? 15 mins, standard, used M2/OP, with parity, 3 new cycles, and some twisted corners. New streak lol.

 

[YouCubing]

after an incredibly unsuccessful first 6BLD attempt ever last night (1:00:10.53 DNF, in which I somehow forgot to memo x-centers, among other issues), I decided to do some more BLD until 4AM because I hate myself. it ended up working out though, and I broke my 4BLD single, mo3, and ao5 all by over a minute, and got a new 3BLD PB single.

I guess I was just really in the zone. I was getting sub-2 memos on 4BLD, which never happens for me. the single was pretty lucky, it had a short execution and memorable letter pairs. the 3BLD single wasn't super lucky, I was just hyped from the 4BLD times and memorized fast. it started in my orientation as well, which probably gave me PB since I only beat my old one by 0.81.

You're already using M2?

 

[PetrusQuber]

Probably should’ve waited, but couldn’t resist... I learnt the basics back in September, but stopped doing BLD... Ima be the guy who learns full 3 style in 1 day then realises it’s memo and execution speed that matters lol.

Edit: By the way I got a 3RD SUCCESS yesterday, wtf.

 

[Cuberstache]

M2 isn't really that hard and it's much faster than OP. Switching to M2 after one success with OP is a good idea, in my opinion.

 

[PetrusQuber]

Getting lots of BLD successes now, going to reach 10 soon

 

[KingCanyon]

I just got a 3:36 PB 3BLD single! It is my second sub 4. I still use OP, but I need to improve accuracy. If my accuracy was better, I probably would have 4 sub 4s or so.

 

[Habsen]

I just finished my project to learn half of the 3-Style UF edge comms. Now I know all A, B, D, E, M, Q, and eight more M slice comms plus all their inverses. For the other half I only need a one move L/R setup to a known case. Now it's time to practice them a lot which is much more enjoyable for me than learning algs.

Good times are coming

 

[Cuberstache]

For the other half I only need a one move L/R setup to a known case.

Nice job learning all those comms! I would advise you to not spend too much time knowing only part of 3-style though. Practicing what you know before learning more is a good idea, but make sure you don't get too comfortable. Learn the rest of the comms soon. Good luck!

 

[Habado13]

I just got my first 4x4 blindfolded success on my first attempt! 25:57.11

 

[BenChristman1]

I got my first 2BLD success. I didn't time it.

 

[the best d1mnd]

very good for me but there is still much room for improvement
3BLD: 32.74 ao5, 30.71 mo3

PB 2BLD success; only 4 algs!

[fun at the joy]

first 4BLD success! 12th attempt
18:10.23 [12:17.03]
average scramble and I had all parities
terrible exec because I had to undo 4 targets in centers because I skipped over a letter pair and I had to undo some stuff in wings

 

[dudefaceguy]

First 3bld success with parity just now. I'm using my own no-algorithm parity method, so this is pretty cool for me. I detect the parity quickly before memorization. If there is odd parity, I memorize the top layer displaced by a U' quarter turn. Then I just do a U' immediately after putting on the blindfold. This is not viable for competitive speedsolving, but it's great if you refuse to learn any algorithms (like me).

This is my first success with parity and without making any written notes.
