Marcell's declaration

[Deleted member 19792]

Good luck, Marcell!

 

[MaikeruKonare]

You've always been my favorite big blinder): I hope you come back to competitive blind!
Hey someone, maybe if you beat his world records he will come back!

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

Another one leaving? At least you have an impressive legacy, best of luck with whatever you decide to do now, and I hope to maybe see you back some day pushing some other boundaries in BLD.

Marcell, you are really one of the best cubers of all time! I sincerely invite you to play the four dimensional cube:

And one day solve it BLD. Nobody has ever done that to the best of my knowledge. And if anyone can do it, it's you!

 

[Bhargav777]

Will surely miss you a lot. Good luck Marcell

 

[Riley]

Thanks for setting new records in all the BLD events and therefore pushing everyone elses' limits. Your abilities are crazy.

Congrats on winning all the BLD events at Worlds too; that is incredible. You really deserve those titles.

Good luck in all your future endeavors!

If you have the time, can you make a tutorial on R2? I haven't found any good tutorials out there, other than the one on Pochmann's website. If you could make a video tutorial, that'd be awesome

Also, congratulations on winning all of the BLD events!

R2 is stoopd, dont bother with it

 

[kinch2002]

From our conversation at world's, I think this is a great decision. Very similar to what I felt over a year ago. You've been an inspiration to many including me. There is no doubt that without your achievements, I would never have been driven to the things I achieved, so I can thank you for that.
Cubing and many cubers will miss you but you can make your decision based on whether you miss Cubing. I hope that you can return as a new Marcell, who can relax at comps and do some solves and have loads of fun

R2 is stoopd

Nah, it's alright. I really don't think R2 is bad, though. I've been using it for years and I still like it. Just did a 15.35 average of 12 with qq's corners only scrambler, and I'm not the fastest turner and I did it sighted where I can't look ahead as well as the top blindsolvers can from memory.

Marcell started with R2. That's why his corner buffer is DFR.

 

[ben1996123]

Actually maybe nighthawk meant r2 wings, idk

 

[Stefan]

Ah, ok. Never followed much who's using what.
Then I'll take that as an advertisement for R2, that you can become world champion after starting with it

Are those "execute only" times?

 

[Stefan]

Well, look+execute. Sighted solves without memorizing beforehand (except the first one or two targets or so).

 

[Renslay]

Well, look+execute. Sighted solves without memorizing beforehand (except the first one or two targets or so).

I see. Maybe I should stay with my corner method for a while (instead of forcing 3cycles); I can do similar execution times with it.

That sounds odd, as R2 is not a 3-cycle method but a 2-cycle method.
