Ryosuke Mondo: 17/18 Cubes Blindfolded

[lsd1001]

amazing

[mojsije1234]

AWSOME!!!

[baseballrg]

i think the guy at the end said "owned", lol

[abr71310]

Wait so this WASN'T official??

Why isn't it in bold on the WCA webpage?? :(

[elimescube]

It was official, but according to the WCA regulations at the time, not completing 100% of your cubes put you below any record with 100% completion. So at that point a 2/2 was better than a 17/18. Now this particular regulation has been changed for the better.

[LNOL]

What's the regulations now?

[04mucklowd]

it is a shame that he only got 17 i wish he got 18

[ben1996123]

lol ONLY 17

[badcuber]

W-O-W...

[Halocuber]

Nice , but I feel sorry for the person holding the paper

[bamboodlesh]

memorizing all those combinations is truly astonishing...

[envy2530]

ok doing 2 or 3 is REALLY hard, but 17??? wow

[SuperMoo332]

i saw this in a couple of montages... amazing though

[AcEoFhEarTS1991]

haha....i never understood the R2 part...so i use M2 and Old Pochmann for corners

[Emericaskates94]

its simple yyou apply the same principles of m2 but say you use DFR buffer corner and you were going to swap UBL corner setup would be L2 U' L2 U. you can turn L face 2 or it will change orientation

[kingeek9]

awsome! ur beast, i am trying to learn bld solve, you recomend any methods or links to learn?

[elimescube]

Ryosuke Mondo uses Stefan Pochmann's M2/R2 method.

[gamemeister27]

This proves to all his skeptics on his vids that he is for real, I really don't like those people :P

666 views...LOL!!!^^

[teezackwhy]

OMG!!!!! WTH?! HES A ROBOT

[3headedicedragon]

Wow!!! Awesome job, Ryosuke! :) Man, I would be SOOO bummed to see that I missed only 1!!!!! But still, awesome job!

[edw0010]

well done you must have a great memory!!! Is that even possible??? It's taking me ages to learn how to solve 1 blindfolded!!!

[ThePizzaGuy92]

he's never had 100 accuracy. haha He never tries something like 2 or 3 cubes, always something like 12-17. how ambitious :]

[dandanik]

I thinks it is because, he trains with so many, or maybe more, and he's just unlucky that he never had full acuraccy. But is it better to see your full potential, and ho on the edge of your power and skill, than to be like all others with 3 cubes :D

[WiL2S]

damn....he missed one :(

[isaganiesteron]

crazy!

[DennisStrehlau]

Great done Ryosuke...

Really!

Greetings...Dennis;):)

[hilo2hell]

wow thats amazing!

[ToasTeR1094]

thats gotta suck being the one holding the paper must get tiring.

[elimescube]

Haha... I held the paper for the first few cubes, then Derrick Eide held it for a while, and then Matt Walter took over till the end. It was a little tiring :P

[Sa967St]

aughh i was there but i didnt watch the end of his 17/18 cube solve attmept :(

i heard everyone was dissapointed because he came soooo close and he had to re-do it 18 cube again

[killwill07]

didnt they start putting paper over the cube after the whole matyas kuti incident?

[elimescube]

Yes... Now BLD is a lot less questionable. I like it. Now my solves are super legit ;)

[killwill07]

i would do blindsolve at the princeton open, but im not very consistant, except for my 1:37 solve i got on tape(how the heck did i get that?)

[Reeseley]

and where are your 2nd place 5x5 solves?

[cube41]

Wow! That is incredible! He needs to get this down! He will not cheat like kuti!

[boiswatching]

that would be hard to beat if it was 100% successful =)

[VanquishSDude]

that wsa very very very nice!!!!!!!! you rock man!

[TheVooX]

Way to go Mo!! An amazing feat... with NO CHEATING!! Unfortunately he missed one cube, so no World Record, but he will be back for sure to try again.

What a brave attempt, given the WR was 10 cubes he was really swinging for the fences... and again NO CHEATING!!

[JasonJRY]

lol oh didnt see the tile lol amazing, this should be world record though, its more deserving and not fake like cheater kuti

[JasonJRY]

who is the cuber??

[ToasTeR1094]

insane

woot first ocmment
