Ugh.. 13/15 in 57:45. Screwed up my 3Bld cube badly and then twisted a couple of corners the wrong way on the other. It's my fourth attempt in the last four days at getting 15/15. On the bright side, my overall memorization for big attempts feels like it's steadily improving; it was sub-40 minutes on this attempt. It's only a matter of elimating silly mistakes now.

Finally! 15/15 in 57:12! 70 seconds faster than the current Canadian NR. If all goes as planned, the video should be up this afternoon.

36/42 1:00:00 [32:54 memo] (37/42 in 1:00:19)

Really nice memo! 47 sec per cube, had some exec pauses but still 30 points wca!

last 3 results are 36/42, 36/41, 36/42 which make 30.33 points mo3! consistency lol

3/4 in 35:19, my first attempt with 4 cubes. The one I memorized normally had 2 flipped edges..

Thesis complete, time to focus a bit on MBLD
My goal is 10 points officially within the end of 2016, I tried with all my 7 3x3 cubes this evening for the first time, ended up with 5/7 in ~25 min. 2 flipped edges on my (last memorised) first solved cube, and a wrong 3-cycle on the 3rd or 4th one. Meh, not so bad.

Last WE at the Barcelona comp' I tried for the first time 10 (1st of 2 attempts) and 11 cubes (second attempt). The comp' was located within Arnold Classic Europe with wrestling, fencing, boxing, capoeira and many many other exhibitions like that, all of them with music and stuff. Very hard to concentrate within the overall ambiance (I'll upload some videos on my YT in the next few days). Hopefully Arnold didn't come in person during the different BLD attempts

Results were:
8/10 - 6 points in 47 min XX sec; off by one 3 cycle and a slight mess on the other one, probably due to a setup/de-setup move failed.
8/11 - 5 points in 58 min XX sec; forgot the corner memo on one cube, two flipped edges on another one, and couldn't remember a letter pair (CI) before the rest of the corners (these ones were correctly memoed by the way).

I also got two sub-50 single 3 BLD (my first two official sub 1 minute) but the mean was DNF (1'06 on the third one, meh second NR fail). Well, second place after the European champion is not a bad place

15/18 MBLD in 57min 59.04s, first sub1hr for 18 cubes

 

[oneshot]

First try of 2/2. Only missed one flipped edge. And as soon as I saw the flipped edge, I remembered that I saw it, and said to myself, "don't forget the flipped edge..." Overall, I'm happy.

Yay, first three MBLD attempts:
0/2 27.21.85[21:00.04] free scrambled
Both cubes were fairly messed up.

First cube was the only success.
Second cube, I accidentally executed my corner memo as edges, tried to backtrack but still failed somewhere along the way.
Third cube I completely forgot my edge memo. I got the corners though!

It was really fun. I didn't have that much trouble keeping any of the information except for that last cube.
I'm going to try 3 cubes again tomorrow.

EDIT: 0/2 22:35.98[15:46.76] again, off by one corner cycle and then one miss-memoed flipped edge.
I'm not sure what happedned to the corners, but I know why the edge was bad.
IT WAS SO CLOSE

I tried to jump from 4 cubes to 6 cubes. The result:

in 55:03

I don't really know what went wrong on the two DNF cubes. I solved them again with the same memo and I didn't DNF. But they don't look like execution mistakes.. First cube is off by two edge targets, the second by a flipped corner.

 

[TheCoolMinxer]

broke my longest standing PB, MBLD. Now 5bld is my longest standing

9/10 in 33:31 [24:51]

I messed up a corner setup move on my 3rd cube, it is off by 3 moves. I am slightly annoyed that I can't get n/n because of stupid execution mistakes ._.

Maybe I'll go for 12 or 13 next attempt (I have too much time from the 1h left lol)

still 3 dnf's with super safety, still my best attempt with 12 cubes

9/12 in 41:59 [33]

2x 2 flipped edges
1x forgot to execute my last corner target fml

I think I will go for 12 cubes at Nats

So I need to do 7 cubes to beat you, good to know.

I got 9/10 2 days ago with 27 minutes to spare lol. How many are you gonna try at Nats?

6 would be safe, but I think I could do 7 or 8 in one hour. I haven't decided yet..

Same here haha 8 would be to keep things really simple, but I think I could do 13 comfortably in 1h.
