Yeah, I saw in Round 1, you were just barely ahead of me, then in round 2, you dominated me, haha. Good job! Did you get any prizes?

Awesome man!
Glad nerves didn't get the best of you. Did you do any other events?
DeeDubb
Veteran
Awesome man!
yes, all the events except 3BLD. I got last place in 5x5, and nearly worst in all the other ones, haha. I never practice, so that was expected. My OH times were really interesting. 3 solves around 35-40 seconds, and 2 solves of 1:50 and 2:00... If I could do the CMLL with OH, I was fine, otherwise it was trouble.

I got a maru barrel cube for winning in rock paper sicsors. You got a guanlong right?
DeeDubb
Veteran
Yes. I actually gave it to Minjae (the guy that drove me).... I have 80 GuanLongs at home, haha.

19.19 Ao100 with the GuanLong.. insane...

No. 69. Duh.Nice! Is it your main?
(also, which Guanlong?)
DeeDubb
Veteran
Umm... I'm playing around with it. I'd still consider the AoLong v1 as my main. The Guanlong is so light though! I'm also playing around with OH, and it's much nicer for that.
(also, which Guanlong?

Had a date today... I did a blind solve successfully! Amazingly risky, considering my success percent is super low, but she was shocked, haha.

My Newb BLD competition
So, I need to encourage myself (and anyone else) to start working on BLD solving. So I'm going to post scrambles.
First, There will be an Ao12. For this one, I will memo everything I can in under a minute, then execute, and see how many pieces I can successfully finish with only a minute memo.
Then and Ao5 where I do full BLD solves.
The first part will help me increase memo speed, the second part will help me with accuracy.
Feel free to join if you want, and adjust the memo time to challenge you.
I'll post on days I can do this, but some days I won't be able to.

Really terrible on the full BLD solves... not happy at all. The edges are getting better. Surprisingly, I'm messing up my corner memo (and some edges, but mostly corners).

Hey, I have a WCA profile now!

Why did you do 5x5 but not 4x4?
Also, for 2x2, could you just do a layer + CMLL (and you could maybe do a layer as left block+right block)? That should be like doing less than half a Roux solve at least.
DeeDubb
Veteran
I did every event there except for 3BLD.
Yeah, that's how I do 2x2, I'm just really bad at it cause I never practice.

Day 2: Amazing, just two days of consistent practice and things are already getting better. I'm actually able to complete these blind solves while music is playing or even a movie... I'm not feeling so stressed. I'm realizing one thing that's going wrong often is two twisted corners from mislabeling a B target sticker as a D one (so S I often mistake for X for some reason, thinking the orange is on the bottom instead of the back). I'll keep working at it. If I do this for 30 days, I know I'll have a much higher success rate.
Also today, there was only ONE execution mistake (meaning my hands did the wrong thing). That's pretty good! Once the hands are completely muscle memory, I can focus more steadily on Memorization, which will help me get more accurate and faster.
