Garf's Progression Thread - Beating Hard Levels in GD (Hardest is Bloodbath)

[Garf]

1. Yo, sorry about the delay for the multi-part series for “Break-In to Alcatraz”. I tried starting part-1 yesterday for the game, but my sister ruined the recording.
2. Could someone explain the process of making good lube for cubes? @a small kitten, you out there?

 

[Garf]

Okay, so I got a lot of money for Christmas, so I plan on buying a lot of lube, plus plan on trying the new RS3M and Meilong 3x3 M. The lubes include:
Angstrom Dignatas and Gravitas
Weight one and five
Dmn-37, Mystic, and lubicle 1.
Plus a blindfold to help with blind solving.

Vs. Hypno's Lullaby (FNF)

A mod of Vs. Hypno's Lullaby (FNF) where Girlfriend rap-battle a creepy version of Hypno, a Pokemon, while trying to go out to look for Boyfriend in the dark. Vs. Hypno's Lullaby (FNF) is a mod for Friday Night Funkin' in which this time Girlfriend will have to sing against a dark and terrifying...

fridaynightfunkin.io

Okay, so Hypno's Lullaby is a mod of FNF based off the original Hypno Creepypasta. While girlfriend is trying to find Boyfriend, a hypo appears in front of her, trying to lure her into the woods.
They battle, and then hypno molts into this weird, head-waving creature, with the head detached from the body.
Then, you have won, and then this guy comes up and asked if you want a free videogame.
If you say yes, then it takes you to yet another battle againts a severed guy with his limbs chopped off, and no tongue.
My theory is that Boyfriend is fighting this weird, limbless person whilst girlfriend is fighting hypno.

I don't know how, but in the competition for this week, I got two sub-10 solves. Never happened in a single average before.

 

[CFOP INC]

What was the average.

 

[Garf]

Pretty good, in my standards.

I quit...
All sight events. I decided that I want to get good at the BLD events, since I barely know anything about them. This includes practicing:
3-BLD
4-BLD
5-BLD
(as a challenge, I know they are not official WCA events) 6-BLD and 7-BLD
3x3 Multi-BLD

I feel like when I actually get back into the sight events sometime in the future, I will forget most of the bad (and good) habits that I have formed, so I can go and start getting good at them without the bad habits weighing me down.

 

[gsingh]

wait, 6 and 7 bld are in the wca now?

 

[Garf]

wait, 6 and 7 bld are in the wca now?

Typo, sorry. Didn't mean to get your hopes up.

 

[Swamp347]

wait, 6 and 7 bld are in the wca now?

Sadly no

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

I have a feeling this will be a very brief journey, but I'll be the first to congratulate you if you manage to become world-class.

Good luck improving with BLD events. Do let me know if you want to learn 5BLD and learn how to spam solves with it and get marginally better.

 

[Garf]

Okay, I have the 5x5 method down, and I already have done quite a few 4-BLD before and failed. Now I just need the (gulp) guts to do a 5-BLD solve.
Also, I have a letter pair list for all the non-duplicates and plan to study them all and get good at using them. And I am implementing good habits for M2/OP, such as good fingertricks, fast execution, and finding ways to cancel set-ups for edges and corners, such as the I/S trick for edges, the parity edge swap, etc.
