first of all, congrats, pretty fast, but for pure visual - amazing!

Thanks I'm not trying to do something special by doing full visual. It's just what feels the simplest for me. Partly because I'm too lazy to make a memo list and practice with it. But I would really like to be sub10 and I'm not sure that it is possible with full visual.

What are your memo/execution splits on average?

Edges: I'M UB HiPpie eating TaCo

Sorry for being a noob, but how do you memo edges? Because that looks a lot easier than my method. Letter pairs? Words out of letters? Again, sorry if its really obvious.

First off, that's a very nice 5BLD time, so congrats! Secondly, the fact that you memod full visual is O_O !!!! That deserves some major props! :tu

What are your memo/execution splits on average?

It's pretty much 50/50. My best memo is barely sub6. But avg at the time is 7 min for memo. My plan for now is to maintain memo speed and focus on improving execution speed. If I can get it down to 4 minutes I guess I have a chance for a sub10 solve.

Thanks Chris. As I mentioned visual memo is what feels best for me. I guess that's just how my brain works

that was yesterday, today 27.06 U2 R2 F2 D' L2 B2 D F2 U' B2 U' R B' R2 B D' F R' U B2 F, the good thing of this second one was the execution, because I mistaked the memo and finally was like... 12? 13? I'm starting loving my cycles really much, also changing setups for OP (LOL, might sound ridiculous but i do it for the love of art) and both edges and corners orientation algorithms

I just did 13 MBLD attempts in last seven days : D
I count attempts with 25 cubes only and I didn't write accurate results but most often I get 21/25 ;< (times: 52-57 minutes, memo 29-33)

And what can I say?
It didn't give me anything, I don't feel that something is better than before.
And I still didn't do 25/25

Wat. Maybe take a break for a year or 2, and you might feel refreshed when you come back

It probably is some kind of overload. Take a break. You might mess memos for some cubes, probably isn't any execution mistake TuRBo/OP is very hard to screw up.

Either way, those are really great results, closest plausible to WR. Cheers up and try next mbld in a week.

 

[lucarubik]

porkynator your execution still sucks, I made a 29.963 on that one (my corner buffer was placed but it's still a bad time for that scramble)
but believe me my memo wasn't lower than 12, and I still don't control my new cycles so... I advice you to change yours, did you orient two corners becouse you didn't know the cycle or something like that and you can memo that fast? it doesn't make sence

I oriented the conrners because I knew that it was faster that way for me, I would have lost time thinking about what cycle was that; A-perm is easier to recognize.
I promise I'll try to improve my algs (especially my edges) as soon as I get some free time
Do you think I should improve also my TPS? I think I average 3.5-4 TPS, without memo recalling delays; that 4.8 is my PB.

 

[lucarubik]

your tps is really good with those cube rotations, in this particular one I made 4.75 tps more or less with only an x and x' cube rotation in the whole solve (with huge delays though), in any case I would advice you to avoid that cube rotations as you seem to have really fast fingers

It was nice. I was a little slow memorizing (over 30 seconds), so I got a 1:06.78 on it.

 

[Rubiks560]

1:17.88 BLD solve. I'm coming for you Mike

 

[Mike Hughey]

1:17.88 BLD solve. I'm coming for you Mike

I've been seeing you coming for a while now - I knew it was on its way! Congratulations - that's a great time!

If you could cut your number of moves down or speed up your memorization, you'd blow right by me. If you could do both, you might be one of those sub-30 guys before too long.

 

[Noahaha]

7/7 yay! 58:26.1 [45:38.1]. Lots of extra review of cubes n stuff, so it could probably have been sub 50:00.

EDIT: 2:06.XX Ao5 3BLD a few days ago. Looks like I'll break 2:00 soon.

 

[Rubiks560]

1:17.09 3BLD solve. I really should start putting a letter pair list for corners together.
