Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I'd call these accomplishments, even though they are kind of failures.

I tried two centers-only 4BLD solves today, and both of them were close.

5:46.14 (~2 memo) had two center pieces off.
8:58.60 (~4 memo) had three center pieces off. This one had incredibly difficult memo and execution for me.

Edit: Yes! 7:24.26 centers success, with ~2:30 memo.

You inspired me to give it a go, and I got a success on my first try :) Not timed, but I'd guess around 8 minutes. Memo took a while, because I got lazy and did sentences instead of images.

Corner parity and edge parity.
I want sub NAR.
 
Weekly 20 MBLD: 13/13 in 58:25 ! Well, it IS faster then my last attempt, so I can be happy with that!

I am following the plan quite well with 10-10-10 3-3-3.

Woohoo!
 
First 4 cubes = 10 min memo
Next 4 cubes = 10 min memo
Last 4 cubes = 10 min memo

3 min refresh on all 3 "batches" and then 2min visual memo of last cube. I follow this plan almost ALWAYS. I like to think of the cubes in batches. When I will start to train 17 cubes I will do 5 cubes in each batch and then two visual :)

You'll be attempting 16 cubes sub-1 hour very soon. :D

Hey Zane, I hope so! :) I have a competition in Sweden next month, so I am practising at beating the European Record held by Tim Habermaas (12 cubes in 48min). I can´t beat him on time so I will try beat him in amount of cubes :)

I am abit frightend though seeing as you, Aron, Ryan, Daniel and Mike have all had some bad big-MBLD attempts ^^ Hope I don´t get 0/13 cause that would be bad. Last competition I had 7/8 due to a slip in the 6th cube I think. But my memo is almost always rock-solid so I rarely make mistakes in MBLD.

17 cubes would pawn.
 
1:38.51 and 1:31.70 successes today, as well as a 1:37.xy with two flipped edges and 2 twisted corners.

It's amazing what just doing some solves that push your memo can do.

My accuracy for this session was roughly 5/12.

EDIT: Whoa. I've shattered all my old PBs today. Single by ~20s, Mo3 by ~30s, and Ao5 by ~30s. Sweet.

PB Mo3 and Ao5:
1:56.88, 1:54.16, 1:38.72, DNF(2:05.29), 3:01.48, 2:06.09, 2:06.73, DNF

Mo3 = 1:49.92
Ao5 = 2:17.51

Side-note: The last scramble was ridiculous (B2 F' R2 D U' B2 L' B L' U B U' B R' B' D' U R' U B D' U2 R' F' L). 5 solved edges? Wtf. I failed on recall, though.

wow that is ridiculous. First BLD since the comp - CaVe RoW YeaH C + 2flip UL UB; then just 3 Corner targets - RUF DFR FDL with 4 corners twisted in place. That's where I failed, oriented two with dan brown then tried to twist the other two with two sunes, but I rotated wrong into it and flipped them in place the wrong direction.

2:27.25 DNF (2 twist)

EDIT: Scrambled wrong, damn
