Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Noahaha]

Apparently my cube was holding me back. Immediately after applying a fresh dosage of lubicle to my guhong, I got my third sub-40, and broke PB Ao5 and mo3 Who knows what I'll be able to do once it's not 1 in the morning.

I've decided that my Multi-BLD at the UK Open I'll probably be attempting 10 cubes. I'd quite like to do a 2 cube attempt as well if there's time

Sorry to disappoint but there won't be any MultiBLD at UKO. There simply isn't time for long events like that at a (relatively) large competition. I will be trying to get a quick 4 and 5bld in though as there are quite a few people keen to do that.

Couldn't it be done at any time, like 4 and 5 BLD?

Thanks for letting me know! To be completely honest, I don't even own enough cubes to do 10 :fp so that's the stress of borrowing cubes put to bed.

shame on multi but i'm lucky as thats my least favourite BLD event, definitely need 4 and 5BLD! will it work the same as WSMO where you can do it anytime or is there a set time for it?

EDIT: didn't realise someone had already asked that question but hey ho!

Yeah! first blindfolded average:- 2:23.52, 2:29.92, 1:51.92, DNF(3:11.79), 2:35.35. Ao5 2:29.60
I can be quicker but my success rate when i try and average sucksto high hell

 

[BlueDevil]

Two successes out of three at my first comp doing bld. I was the only one who got a success on the first scramble and I ended up with 3rd place!

Lol. I couldn't believe how dry that comp was given how many BLDers were there. Anyway, congrats!

2:22.95 Ao12 on 3BLD. Considering I have 13 official BLD DNFs in a row I feel this is an accomplishment for me.

Not PB, but significantly less lucky scramble than my PB, so definitely an accomplishment.

In general my corners have gotten a bunch faster, and my execution is down to about 30 on average. Pretty soon people will have to stop making fun of me (for my execution times at least =P).

EDIT: I think that solve had sub-10 memo, but I didn't look at the timer.

Congrats, and this is what I want to see at Princeton. I shouldn't have to podium again.

10:56.76 4BLD. 2 low 10 DNFs beforehand. Memo on that last one was just over 4 minutes.

Lol. The first two solves at Yale were me, but the third one was just bad luck.

 

[DennisStrehlau]

YEEEEES!

I just did 2 blindfold solves after 3 days of learning and practising TuRBo algorithms for corners. But i did normal M2 and old Pochmann, just to see if i can still do it, without thinking too much "in" TuRBo and adv M2.
First one was bad, because i couldnt remember the first corner fast enough, so i broke up. Then i did another one and got my FIRST sub-1 EVER!

57.85 seconds!!!

I am SOOOO happy now!

And i lost motivation for practising adv M2 and TuRBo Maybe i should stay with M2 and OP?!

Nah, switch and get faster than ever!

Aye, this ^.

Switching to 3-style caused my times/motivation to drop significantly. Now I'm averaging ~1:00 and can't even think why I used my horrible, horrible, horrible old BLD method.

I remember using pure old Pochmann and getting very fast times. When i switched to M2 i was waaay slower in the beginning but then, after some practice, i got faster of course.

I remember using 2 step OLL and getting good results. When i switched to full OLL, i was waaay slower in the beginning but then, after some practice, i got much faster of course.



But when i watch some videos of poeple using BH and solve the cube in around 30 seconds, i think: I can do that with my method..why switch then? Right now, i would still say that i just want to learn a faster way to solve corners blindfolded. I know the TuRBo algs now. How long does it take to learn the BH algs for the corners? What do you think? Is there any site, wich tells you HOW to learn them? Because i dont think that you just have to learn 440 algorithms, right? Is it the best method anyway?
And i have LUB buffer (ULB woud also work, i could find the correct algorithm then too), but when i take a look at a page with ULB buffer, there are only algorithms like:

UBL RFU RUB [R, U' L' U]

Whats that??
