yes cubing- PB- 5/5 30:02

From @bldcuber314 - I don't think @yes cubing is really doing this race anymore, but I just updated their PB from weekly comp anyway

Good success rate


BVCuber13- PB 8/8 46:59

Good success rate.

I may or may not do a 6 cube attempt today, I'll see if I have time as I have homework and I just spent like 2 hours trying to solve my Skewb Ultimate(I managed, and I'm never touching it again).

Also this should be interesting. I average faster than @yes cubing on 3BLD, but with half the success rate.

 

[yes cubing]

I would try 5 or 6 cubes, but unfortunately I don't have more than 4. I'll just grind 4 cubes for now

 

[yes cubing]

Also yesterday I got a new pb, 4/4 15:25. Lots of improvement right there.

@bldcuber314 What do average on normal blind? We could race to something on 3bld too

Like 1:10 , with 20 sub 1s and 49.82 single. You have better success rate though, so you have that advantage for multi.

4/4 14:43
yoo I was so sure I had gotten 0/4 and even when I lifted up the blindfold I still thought there would be a load of pieces unsolved at the back. So I've learned I don't need to be too careful with my turning style.

 

[yes cubing]

I can't wait to get enough cubes that the challenge will be sub hour. I just love the idea of racing time instead of my own times

So I had some time and ended up doing a 6 cube attempt, and I got 3/6. What was really annoying was that I was confident I got all 6, or at least 5, was not expecting this result.

Cube 1 was off by a 2-twist as I forgot to do the 2-twist.

Cube 2 was off by 5e 2c, did RT instead of TR in edges and also messed up a 2-twist.

Cube 6 was off by a 2-flip, I thought I didn't do it but turns out I had already... so it was literally solved but I went back to it and messed it up again.


I'll try again tomorrow probably, but at least I didn't forget any memo, so it means I can probably do more. As expected the issue was general mistakes.

Im gonna order 2 3x3s tonight, I might get a 3rd, which would bring my total of 3x3s to 7. I'll slowly work up to 7/7 and only then will I get more cubes. My budget is 26 euro (random), and I'm not sure which cubes to get. Any recommendations would be good, and I would like 3 different cubes for some variety.

Any of the Meilong M series should be reasonable. They all have very good quality, easier to set up than most other budget cubes, very cheap, and the Meilong v3 Lite is only 7€ each at ukspeedcubing.com

I just use Qiyi sail Ws, mostly. They cost like 3 dollars and are very viable for an event where turning speed isn't as important as usual. I wouldn't recommend using all different cubes.

Good job, MBLD accuracy is a super strange thing yo

I've been busy so no multi attempts recently, but I might do one today.

I just did a 6 cube attempt, and got 5/6 31:23(PB)!

The unsolved cube(The 4th cube I memoed and 3rd I executed) was off by 2 twisted corners, literally the closest DNF possible. I looked back and it looks like I did PO instead of PW for the letter pair PoW(which I memoed as a punch), as for some reason I thought I messed up and memoed PO as POw.

The attempt started very badly, as I was forgetting memo and blanking, something that doesn't normally happen. Thankfully I managed to pull through and didn't forget any memo except the mistake above. I might add a review after 2 cubes to help this.

The attempt was quite slow, but that's OK since the time limit for 6 cubes is an hour and I'm still finishing in 31 minutes.

 

[yes cubing]

not pb yet but I after a load of 5 cube attempts the best I could get was 4/5 in 23:32. good but sad

I got PB yesterday during practice for NY Quiet Champs (which I’m at rn), a 7/8 44:33 (6 points)

 

[BVCuber13]

@bldcuber314 @yes cubing reviving this thread to say that I got a PB of 6/6 31:00 OFFICIALLY at Ashfield Winter Challenge earlier this month. my success rate is now pretty good, so you can update that as well
