5BLD DNF(6:09.72[2:35]) off by 3 wings :/ I think I cycled a pair in the wrong direction.

Very easy outer pieces, centers were average-good. Cube has been worn in very nicely now

6:00.85? I think Ville Seppanen had a close 5:59 with a ridiculous 2:21 memo or something along those lines.

EDIT: found a 5:52[2:30] dnf off by 9 pieces by Ville. It's also pretty weird to see how fast (and slow) some people were even 2/3 years ago (i.e. Zane only just breaking 3:00 3BLD in 2010 and Faz 4BLD)

How come he hasn't competed in 5BLD since May 2011?

I think he got bored, who knows. You'll have to ask Joey!

21:15.18 4BLD off by 2 wings + r2. Don't know what happened, I thought I did an even number of r2s...

8:33.75 4BLD DNF, off by 2 centers

8:33.75 4BLD DNF, off by 2 centers

I know that pain :/

Sorry, me again.

First multi attempt since the tragedy that was LO:

10/15 29:04.09[18:23]

1. 2 cubes were an L/R move out (probably from rushing during execution) so that's easily fixable.
2. The rest had corner cycles left over (similar to LO ) probably a memo mistake.
3. I think I spent a few minutes faffing about moving cubes, undoing corner cycles, retracing memo that I'd forgotten and realising that I'd twisted a corner accidentally during the scrambles.

N'bad twas on video too!

First 5BLD attempt: DNF

Off by a lot of pieces. I think I messed up wings, that's why. Total time was around 32 minutes.

 

[antoineccantin]

Did a 4BLD attempt: DNF by 4 centers, ~5 wings

Breakdown:

Center memo: 2:45
Corner memo: 1:15
Wing memo: 18:45
Review: 2:30
Execution: 5:00
Total: 30:15.74

Not even kidding. That's how much I suck.

On the bright side, I found something that works during the end of wing memo. Time to try another attempt

edit: lololo
The next attempt was even worse than the first. I kept failing the wing memo. Every time I re-memoed stuff, I found something that didn't work and had to restart wings again.
Time was like 37 minutes and the cube was all scrambled at the end. I did drop the cube during centers, so that's probably were the major messup happened. Enough for tonight.

Wing memo: 18:45

I guess you already know this but I will say it just to make sure try using your same lettering schema on the wings as your 3x3 edges , it will make memorizing and execution very efficient , specially that your 3BLD edge's method is already M2 , Noah has a tutorial on this I guess on cubing world , again I'm positive that you already know this , I hope it helps

Breakdown:

Center memo: 2:45
Corner memo: 1:15
Wing memo: 18:45
Review: 2:30
Execution: 5:00
Total: 30:15.74

thats almost exactly what my attempts are like

I can memo centres sub 2, but wings take me over 20 minutes to memo, and my execution is about 5 minutes if I don't rush

Yeah, I switched to that letter scheme a couple days ago.

You'll get it soon! How many attempts have you done?

 

[ben1996123]

that was my first attempt

 

[Username]

You'll get it next time, for sure! My first attempt was of by 14 +centers and 5 midges, so this is way better

Errors:

1. One of the cubes was too loose, slipped during an execution and dropped it. :fp
2. Messed up a corner cycle curing execution which I KNEW I'd done as soon as I'd done it. Tried to undo it and redo it correctly but failed.
3. Corner cycles out.

Starting to think that I should practice Multi seriously...

EDIT: Oh, and the reason execution was so fast was because the scrambles contained 3 different scrambles with 7 corner targets and 11 edge targets (IOW very easy scrambles.)

EDIT 2: Ok, I really can't Multi.
