I'M BACK

6BLD DNF(8:44.28)[3:53.72] by 2 obliques:

I think I'm capable of sub-8 with sub-3:30 memo. I'm gonna do 6BLD attempts during this quarantine

 

[ptf606]

I just learned a couple days ago and I average like 5:00, I got a DNF 4:11 because I forgot to do parity.

29.41 B2 R' U' L2 U2 L2 F2 L2 F2 D R2 F2 D B L B2 D F D' U R Rw Uw
3+5+p i keep getting sub30s with sub 15executions, if its not parity its passive pieces but i cant force myself to push the memo excpet when I do and then its barely sub10 if even
misseda 31 mo3 with a 28 DNF too

 

[fun at the joy]

I just did my first 5BLD attempt: 36:27.83 [26:20.40] DNF by 4+,4m,8w and 4c
Memo was veeery safe and I DNF'ed it by a single move during +center exec rip
I'm such an idiot.

 

[RiceMan_]

My best 4BLD attempt yet. I somehow missed the ufR center in memo and ugh.... It hurts lol.

6BLD DNF(8:02.73)[3:42.61] by two inner x centers, although inner x are the elements I'm most confident in xD

RIP

last scramble was super easy and I kinda safetied because I wanted to get a mean.

off by a slice in exec rip

 

[2018AMSB02]

My recent BLD goals have been 5BLD success, 10 cube MBLD success, and sub-2 3BLD success.

I got 1:45 3BLD off by parity, and a 2:00.89 success.
I got 9/10 MBLD but in 1:12:xx
And only one failed attempt at 5BLD

 

[ProStar]

4:04 DNF 3BLD, great solve but I forgot to flip RB since I was rushing exec for good time. Still happy with it, hoping to get a PB soon(current is stupid 3:50)

 

[NevEr_QeyX]

Literally every solve except the ones that I do while I'm somewhere weird.

I always get successes outside, while talking, on rollercoasters, y'know the usual locations. Just never when I'm listening to classical music, and sitting in my room at my desk, super comfortable, and concentrated.

 

[ProStar]

Started to feel sorta confidant in my BLD ability, then promptly fell into a 6 DNF streak. Am tired tonight, hopefully will break out of it tomorrow. The first two were because I was rushing for a good time, but then I went normal(the last two I safetied) and couldn't get a success.

[Haven't switched to M2 yet since I'm having a little trouble with it, but I'll be switching as soon as I can get a feel for it]

31:19.99 mega BLD DNF by 1 twisted corner

it's the buffer so might have been during scrambling but I felt like I might have twisted one during the attempt so it could be that too
edit: after looking at corner memo again I'm pretty sure it was during scrambling

will you count it as a success then?

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

Getting back into BLD. I hadn't heard of letter pairs when i did BLD years ago. I previously created my own letter scheme that included letters, numbers, and words to represent stickers...needless to say this was not an optimized memorization method. Getting used to letter pairs and speffz will take some time. I am going to use OP corners and M2 edges.

7/13 success rate doing only corners so far. All averages are DNF but i'll get a mo3 or Ao5 average on this during tonight's practice session I'm sure.

 

[ProStar]

I'm learning 4BLD and to practice exec I write out the memo for a scramble then just execute it with the cube under the table. Done it twice so far, both times the centers are way off and the edges are either close or solved(corners are no problem because it's just OP). It's weird because whenever I'm just using U2 to solve the cube normally I do great.

 

[BenChristman1]

I just did my 4th ever 3BLD attempt, and I was only 3 corners off!

 

[abunickabhi]

Most of my failures in comps till now.

 

[jdh3000]

I successfully did blindfold solves twice on 3x3. I fortunately recorded one of them.

I was using the old pochmann method but eventually gave up becauae to get those 2 solves, I had to do countless tries and constantly practice the algs and parity.

I guess the most frustrating part was the setup; writing down the notation and coming up with a mnemonic device, then going so slow on the would be solve which alone took ten minutes.

I know I would eventually get better and faster, but I never knew what I did wrong; did I make a mistake counting the pieces or in the "solve"?

It was distracting away from my normal solves, so I gave up.
I would like to try again but don't know if I can deal with the agrevation.
