4BLD 4:11.31[1:42] on video.

I'd rather upload a sub-4, but may upload it on Dailymotion anyway if anyone's interested. My execution felt like it was going at 100mph but still only 2:29

You should practice speedsolving to increase your TPS. I think this is what will help you improve the most now!

3BLD Sleep-delayed first attempt. I don't know how you time it, so the details were:

Memo: 61.22 at 00:01 Friday
Execution: 35.95 at 10:12 Friday

3BLD OH First attempt 3:34.70[26.xx] Twas fun, it might give me a reason to start practicing OH.

EDIT: 345BLD Relay DNF(23:26.xx)

3) L2 D2 F2 D2 B R2 D2 L2 B2 U2 F L B L U2 F2 D' R' D - two flipped edges.

Got a 26.70 on video I'm uploading it now!
Very lucky scramble.

 

[Noahaha]

I found out earlier this week that I am much slower when I do solves under competition circumstances, including a paper over the cube, a stackmat timer and a random orientation. I have been solving like that since then, and I just got this average of five:

Average of 5: 41.35
1. 42.73 U' R' F' B2 R' D2 F L' B R2 D' L2 F2 L2 D' F2 U2 F2 B2 U'
2. (DNF(43.73)) L' U' B L' D' F' R' U L F' L2 B2 R L D2 B2 D2 L' U2 R D2
3. 41.42 R2 D L2 R2 D2 B2 R2 U' F2 D F2 L' D2 B' D' F' R2 D' U L2 F'
4. 39.90 L2 F2 R2 U R2 D' L2 F2 D' F2 D F' U' L D R' F' U B F' U2
5. (39.86) F D2 B L2 D2 B2 U2 R2 F L2 F D L' R D2 U B' R' D' U' R

So I think I've solved my competition problems...

good idea

Nice - very wise. With the new regulations coming, though, you might want to start practicing with an actual cover of some sort over the cube, rather than just a paper; the paper will be illegal under the coming regulations.

Maybe I'll do that, but as long as I have no idea what the orientation is, it shouldn't make a difference. Unless I'm mistaken, the new regulation is to stop people from seeing part of the cube beforehand right?

It might make a small difference whether you are using a paper as a cover vs an actual cover. With a paper cover you can nudge it off the cube as you pick it up which is slightly faster than with an actual cover where you have to lift it up and set it down.

Good point.

3bld PB: 3:33.46. Memo was somewhere around 2:05.00. 10 edge targets, 6 corner targets and one twisted corner.

Previous PB was 4:14.14 with an easier scramble
I feel like I'm finally starting to get somewhat fast at 3bld :tu

Thanks!
For corners I use old Pochmann incorporating a few BH cases when I see them. For edges I use Advanced M2. Memo I use Audio Loop corners and and Letter Pair Images for edges.

Yeah!

The bad news is I won't be breaking the sub-40 barrier for a really long time.
