Spoiler

*6 wing cycles, no pieces solved.
*2 midge cycles + a flipped edge + parity
*3 solved x-centers with 2 left over 2-cycles.
*4 solved +-centers with awkward positioning of the buffer pieces on the L-face, leaving 3 left over 2-cycles. Meant I couldn't use my fast Niklas 2-swap algs and had to spend time thinking about how to solve the left over cycles without affecting the other centers.
*corner parity

The center memo also contained my weaker letter pairs and was difficult to recall, but that'll be just me

Thank you to everyone who helped me figure this out (Dan Sarnelli, Ollie, Mike, Aron and others)

Nicely done! Though I don't remember helping at all... :S

Nicely done :tu

I hope you caught it on video

Wasn't sure to post in accomplishment or failure thread, but then I decided that I'm pretty pleased with the result.

3 cubes mbld, memo was really smooth and easy, don't know why, had plenty of twisted corners though. When I got to my 3rd cube I started doing the corner memo on edges. Realising it around 3 targets later, I panicked and undid the targets whilst swearing. And when I took off the blindfold, the 2nd and 3rd cubes are solved (yes, including the one I did wrongly, no idea how it happened), but the first one DNF by 3 cycle ._.

Pretty happy, first time had more than one solved cube. Will up by one cube next week

Some new PBs and nice accomplishments in one 3x3x3 BLD session:

avg of 41 - 1:02.90 mins

avg of 12 - 54.99 sec

mean of 3 - 48.99 sec

longest sub-1 streak - 28 solves (59.97 sec)

I also got 4 sub-50s (and one 50.xx) within 8 solves.

Greetings, Dennis

2/1 multiBLD (only with one cube)! I did scramble 2 on top of scramble 1, so doing solve 2 brought me to the first scramble, and doing solve 1 from there solved it. I hope that's understandable. The attempt took 22:00.63[18:29.02] because I wasn't sure if the concept would work, and I had to re-memo the 2nd cube after memoing the 2nd edge target wrong.

Good idea, but you still had to use two cubes for memorization, didn't you?

No, I had the 2 scrambles in front of me. So I did each scramble and memoed them separately, then did them both together. It took quite a bit of scrambling/solving, but it only took 1 cube.

2:06.88(~1:00). PB. Getting really close to sub-2. Two solved edges. In the zone right now.

My life is complete. Sub-2 bld solve. Lol. Started getting really fast after I started dating this girl.
1:52.94(~0:55 iirc). 10 edge targets. One flipped. Eight corner targets. None twisted. No parity. No pauses. Just awesome. 3 solves after last PB.

3. R2 F2 D F' U B' D' R' L' F D2 F L2 F' D2 F D2 R2 F' U2

Edit: Kept going. 2:19.30 ao12. 2:12.17 ao5. 2:07.52 mo3. Broke PB twice. Second was 1:52.94. Getting faster. Throughout these my memo was pretty consistent at about 1 minute. I need to work on that now. However it has been improving just by solving so I guess keep solving and I will improve.

Edit 2: my PB would rank 316th in the world and 41st in the US

Yay, it's been a while since a BLD PB!

1:41.30, first PB with audio edge and letter corners. Scramble had 12 edge targets, 6 corner targets and 2 twisted corners.

WOW! So close to sub-30 avg of 12. How do you people memorize so fast?
I started getting sub-20 memo times, but it seems so to be a huge step to get 5 seconds faster..

PB 3BLD mo3 and avg5:
2:26.88, 2:16.51, 2:38.64 = 2:27.34
2:26.88, (2:16.51), 2:38.64, 2:57.12, DNF(2:40.24) = 2:40.88

These were all safety solves. My second ever of each.

That's awesome! Especially amazing that you did it at your first comp. I didn't get over my shaking hands until my fifth or sixth.

59.00s official 3BLD solve at Diamond Bar Spring! (3rd place, yeah socal is kind of stacked for BLD) I had a video of it, but I trolled myself by accidentally deleting it off my camera =( still sad about this.

5/6 official mBLD. Terrible. I had to backtrack two rooms after realized while solving my 4th cube that I had skipped a room. (2nd place)
