2/3 in 4:05.67. 2nd cube was off by a target I forgot to memo.

Edit: 4/7 in 17:49.19

You guys were right.

5BLD - DNF(41:24.87[25:50.91])

40 minutes off my previous time... I don't even know.

So close to solved. All that was wrong were two cross centers. They were red and orange too, so I probably just mixed them up during memo.

Off by a lot.
Don't know where I went wrong. Could have been two places.
Centres were kinda nice. I used comms for centres.

Your first 4BLD attempt was faster than my first 3BLD attempt.

Same here actually. My first attempt at 3BLD was over 20 minutes...
Getting a first 3BLD is way harder than getting a 4BLD after getting used to 3BLD

My first 4BLD attempt was about 1:30 hours.

I suck.

Well qaz's first 4BLD attempt (previous page) was 1:21, so I'm guessing that's about normal. Is memo for 4BLD harder than for 3 cubes MBLD? It appears to take longer, yet it's less pieces...

Yes, in my opinion it's much harder because memoing centers and wings can be very confusing.

Mine was 1:08 hours, and somehow it was even a success. Memorizing centers and wings for the first time isn't easy. It's funny that my first (and so far only) 5BLD attempt was actually a little bit faster (1:01 I think, but sadly a DNF).

I think that actually memorizing the pieces is harder for 4BLD, but remembering the memo is harder. Personally I have a harder time remembering 3/4 cube memo then I do 4x4 or 5x5 memo... It's easier for me to remember fewer, longer strings than a larger number of shorter strings.
(My first 4BLD was actually 0:49, 5BLD was 1:21.)

I am currently on a 7-DNF streak in competition for 3x3 BLD. 1 from Indiana 2013, 3 from CCFC 2013, and 3 from Cubetcha 2013. Hopefully this doesn't continue at Leaf Town this weekend.

4/5 in 10:07.06. 2 flipped edges

Don't worry, you won't get a DNF this weekend good luck!

2/3 multi, 2nd time in a row I forgot parity on one of the cubes.

I think from now on, I'll hold my breath whenever I have parity and release when I fix it.

Wow, never thought about that! Awesome! I will try that one, I tried feet control for M2 slice control but it didn't go well... I hope that this one will

Cross your legs

 

[A Leman]

you win again 7BLD

 

[CyanSandwich]

Cross your legs

It seems less reliable for me because quite often I naturally cross my legs without noticing. I've also done feet control stuff, and forgotten to revert my foot position afterwards. Holding your breath kind of forces you to want to get it done as quickly as possible too.

Although I tried it and ended up messing up 3 corners, but that could've been a memo mistake.

 

[Mikel]

7BLD is a fickle beast.

 

[CyanSandwich]

Ugh. 2/3 multi because I executed the last algorithm on the last cube too slowly and forgot the muscle memory. I really shouldn't be using this cheap clothing store cube.
