Yes. A poorly named event if there ever was one.isnt that speedbld?
Good point. I've always read the name as a fast way of doing blind but if you look at execution only then it is indeed speedy and blindy.Actually, no. In speedBLD, you typically trace the positions of the pieces up front as you work out your solution. So you wind up with a very fast solve after memorizing - one that can theoretically be significantly faster than a normal speedsolve (if you don't have memory recall pauses). The way the OP here is describing, you memorize the starting positions of all the pieces, then trace their positions as you solve blindfolded, leading to a very slow solve after memorizing.
Not watched it but I'm taking this description as accurate. When I tried to do BLD before looking up tutorials this is pretty much what I did. I went through the pieces in a certain order and visually remembered where a certain sticker of it was (U/D mostly, F/B for the E slice), then kept track of where the pieces were as I was solving them in whatever order I felt like. It's extremely slow and awful so I don't recommend it!The way the OP here is describing, you memorize the starting positions of all the pieces, then trace their positions as you solve blindfolded, leading to a very slow solve after memorizing.
The video does look very suspect. Lots of unnecessary moves as though he is looking for pieces with his eyes. Strange rotations. It's just odd.Not watched it but I'm taking this description as accurate. When I tried to do BLD before looking up tutorials this is pretty much what I did.

He obviously is misinformed about where to put the blindfold.The video does look very suspect. Lots of unnecessary moves as though he is looking for pieces with his eyes. Strange rotations. It's just odd.
Came here to say this. If you ever try speedbld for real you'll understand how ridiculous it is to claim that you can trace the pieces while solving a cube if you didn't plan the entire solution ahead of time.I'll stick my neck out and call claptrap.
I remember not believing you the first time you claimed that.You may remember that I memorize the colors on the cube and track each piece.
Do a video of opening your timer, scrambling, memo and solving and I'll believe you immediatlyI didn't expect so much hate... jeez!
If he made a video explaining it wouldn't that be enough proof?I first want a convincing video of you doing it
