3:19.44 BLD OH, first try today and first success ever Memo was 1:15ish I think.
D F2 D2 B' L2 U' F' U R D' L D L2 B' R F' U' R F' L' U' L2 R' U' F2 if you wanna try, nothing special though.

Using M2 with one hand would just drive me crazy...

M2 with one hand is really quite decent. When I switched from 3OP to M2, my OH BLD times dropped by at least a minute. I do a double thumb push at FU to perform M2; it's pretty fast and very accurate.

I learned M2

I hope you mean the method.

Interesting. I suck at OH though.

I'm not really sure if this should count as a success or failure, but I am counting it as a success!!!

1st ever attempt at Multi BLD: 1/2
Total Time: 40:08
Memo Time: 30:15

Cube 1 - Off by four edges and 4 corners
Cube 2 - SOLVED!

Using Old Pochman with visual memo. I memo'd and solved the cubes in the same order, meaning the last cube solved was correct.

 

[riffz]

My first sub 2: 1:54.73

Non-lucky. One solved edge and one solved corner. M2 for edges, Old Pochmann for corners.

Now if I can just finish my letter pair list so I can stop using visual for corners...

Nice. I just so happened to have gotten my first completely non-lucky sub-3 today (My 2:30 solve was technically non-lucky, but the visual memo was a joke to memorize).

Isn't visual considered just as good for memorization? Or do you just not prefer it?

Well some people prefer visual for corners but there are some solves where it takes me way too long to memorize them. Sometimes I get lucky but I'd rather be consistent so I'm going to use 2 rooms (often only need 1) with 3 characters interacting, each of these representing a letter pair. I don't mind putting in the effort as I plan on getting into 4x4 BLD and I'll use the list for centers and edges anyway.

The extra bonus to switching corners from visual to rooms is that I can solve edges first and avoid 2 R perms when I have parity. I use short-term one-syllable words for edges so its a good fit.

This was just shortly after I posted in the weekly that I have yet to get sub14 (success or dnf). It was a practise solve, but a regular scramble. Memo was 7:08.xx, which means my plan to execute faster is working

Woohoo! Sub4 now plz.

Good job! Now, sub-4. I'm expecting it by the weekend.

Wow execution . If we combined my memo with your execution sub-12 would happen . Now I have another mark to aim for

I'm just happy I got my accuracy back Funny thing is that my memo seems to be consistently in the low 7's. I hope I haven't hit my memo limit.
Your execution will improve fast with practise. I think I have more practise solves than you.

Accuracy = good . I would be so much less motivated if I just kept failing. Maybe experiment with your memo if you don't think its improving. I randomly switched to doing visual midges a couple of weeks ago and that helped me. I have about 30 attempts now

Wow, very good! Come on, come on! We wanna see more

 

[kinch2002]

Here's more 12:42.04 [5:27.39]. 17 centres solved(!). Scramble was from cubetimer.com so I lost it as soon as I stopped the timer Centre memo was about 2:25 I think.

 

[joey]

Kinch: use mzrg.com/qqtimer, much better than cubetimer.

Uh, wow. Nicely done You didn't give me many hours in the lead

I can still beat you in execution, but your memo is beastly. I don't see myself top that one anytime soon, but I'll try
