Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[blackzabbathfan]

No video, but my goal is to get a sub-5 on video by the end of the month, so hopefully that will happen. I think for now I should mostly work on memo, since I memo in around 2:15 when everything goes smoothly, but most of the time not everything goes smoothly.

EDIT:

4BLD is DEFINITELY helping my 3BLD. Just got my second sub-30, and this time with 12 edge targets and 6 corner targets!

29.56 B2 U' L2 U' L2 F2 D' R2 U L2 U R D' L2 B L U L D' L U'

What!?!?!?!?!? 2 sub-30's in one week! Nice job bro!

First 5Bld success!
Untimed, safety memo and the first solve on the SS that came in the mail today. It turns really nice and might cause me to ignore my 3x3 for a while.

3BLD PB Sub-NR

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats
Just let me have it a little longer? Joey had it for 4 years so you should wait another 3 years probably

 

[qqwref]

Practice 3BLD and get a 37 or something

I'll need to start averaging sub-1 first!

Ollie, race to official sub-NR?

I don't have a way to film, but I timed an 18:46 5Bld today.

It's wierd because I am happy I can have successes, but I am disappointed in my slow tps and pauses. An 18:46 is terrible next to marcell's solves. And I am not used to turning the SS 5x5. It's layers are so small that I am having trouble flicking the inners slices.

Lolwut? You shouldn't be disappointed. You are in top-25 of 5x5x5 blindfold! It is achievement.

Okay, you're right, but I feel like shaving off minutes is going to be a really difficult process and I am having trouble seeing how sub-10 is even possible. It's not like I can just learn comms and see my times drop.

Could you give me some advice about how you became sub-9? And how often should I be practicing 5bld to get there?

Learn comms + practise. And experiment with different memory methods.
How often - dunno, IIRC, it took me ~6 months and 4-8 attempts per week.

Thanks for the advice and I already know comms(that was sarcasim in my post). I am going to do a 5bld a day and practice speedsolving my new 5x5 untill I get used to it.

 

[Noahaha]

5:17.14 4BLD on camera. Lost the scramble though, so I'll probably just wait for a sub-5 before I upload one.

 

[HEART]

I won Caltech 2012, first time ever entering BLD in competition. 1:44.27 single

 

[Iggy]

Broke my old 3BLD PB by 3 seconds with a 3:40.09.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

First ever successful 3BLD solve. 9:16.xx. 4:05 memo, 5:11 execution. Old Pochmaann method with letter/story memorization. LiVe JaGged AX TO MaDdie RB. eMCee Kid Rock SPed By Quinn. Weird memo but whatever.

[Iggy]

3:19.81 3BLD. Could've been sub-3 if I didn't screw up edge execution.
