I would like to propose a new type of average for BLD that will apply to the 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 cubes. Accuracy is a much bigger issue for 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 BLD,...
Hey Everybody, I've been analyzing solving the centers with commutators. There are many ways to solve the same cycle. There are a dozen ways to setup a...
I don't think this will/should be how we measure officially, but unofficially this might be a good way to measure your abilities. For 3x3 I think the current...
I agree I was rather disappointed to have only two attempts at Rutgers after having 5 at G.wiz ... I believe the plan was to have three attempts, as there was...
Hey Stefan, Daniel, Yeah I agree this average idea for the bigger cubes would not be a good fit for official competitions, there is barely enough time for even...
Two attempts is enough for big cube bld. Even at world record breaking pace, the events are very long. I would really like to see a consistency in events...
The guide has been approved by Chris. He should be hosting it on his website very soon. Hopefully he'll be able to refine it. Adding some of his examples....
I just saw Andy Tsao's achievement on speedcubing.com That's amazing and now I've a reason to get into OH cubing, if not for speed, maybe for blindfolded. Is...
I'm curious... has anyone yet attempted a BLD solve on Ryan Heise's cube simulator? I'm re-learning my system at the moment, but plan to try it in a week or...
I tried once, but was not successful...I wasn't very used to the commands...and we can't do B on it...haha...gotta do x' U x, so that will make me even more...
Hey everyone, After about 6 DNFs that were sub-7 (one off by only two centers - arrrrrrgh!) I finally legitimately got sub-7 on a successful solve. The overall...
Wow! Just wow! Tonight has been a good night. Successful 5x5x5 BLD solve. Memorization in 10:29 and the overall time was 18:51.76 minutes! I was trying to...
Hey everyone, I just now got a successful sub-18 5x5x5 BLD solve :-D 17:16.91 was the overall time. I memorized for 9:21 and the solving then took roughly...
My main problem is the execution for the 5x5x5 and 4x4x4 cubes. They are difficult for me to turn quickly. Especially the 5x5x5... there are so many clicks...
... They ... there ... move ... layers? Hey Marcus, I just did some move counts for the 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 to answer your question: 4x4x4 ... CO: 43 moves CP: 17...
I need to rebuild some memory systems for the larger cubes as I've slowed down without much practice at all, but I think my record time for blindfoldsolving...
Hey Marcus, Well you've inspired me. I just tried a 5x5x5 solve and I tried to go literally as fast as possible for memo and I memorized in 7:43, which is by...
Hey again Marcus, Ok I tried one more time, since I was mad at myself for breaking that X-center last time after having memorized so quickly. I broke my record...
Wow! Amazing... congrats man! I've been rememorizing my memory maps for the past week or so... I have em all down again but I don't know how fast I would be...
Ok I just tried a few solves at fullspeed without any regard for the shifts in the XCenters/any pops that occurred (I'm also using a new approach to EP and...
Been doing nothing but solves for a few hours now, haha. Achieved a new personal best on the 5x5x5 of 14:32. A few edges (maybe 3 or so) and XCenters (maybe...
Marcus, You and I also have to talk on memo techniques. What is this memo map you are talking about? I must study for my two final exams which are tomorrow....
Chris, What are you averaging when running through your images? I just started practicing again. I know 25% of the images. I know A-D very well. I did like...
I just went through another scramble after talking to Marcus some, and I did a 86.22 run of 92 images. I just did a 148.45 run of 115 images Now a 135.37s run...
I figured I'd add a bit into this. Below is an email from Marcus posted back in early June of this year, with his system. It may help you recall how he does...
