    5BLD dry spell with a lot of DNFs, when a week or so ago I was on about 50% accuracy going quickly :/ Had 2 successful attempts from the last 13.

    3BLD is still at about 80-90% and 4BLD is about 70% still! I fear I've picked up a bad habit somewhere and I can't tell where. From the damage that's left over it looks like incorrect set up moves, or failing to put back the l-slice properly after a set up/commutator.

    I feel your pain (although in 4BLD..)

    Just finished this weeks BLD race: Accuracy 1/8 in 4 BLD
    The single succesfull solve was number 7...

    BUT don't worry, your accuracy will return eventually.

    For me solve 8 was off just by two twisted corners, the next solve (1st of weekly comp) was a succes too.

    So after 6 DNF's I just missed a twisted corner in 3 solves total
    [23:23] <+Kirjava> it's hard to do what I do if you're not ****ing insane
    I accidentily a 3rd line

    Thanks for the moral support

    My 5BLD solves are ending like this! And quite a few of the failures have ended when I've left with a two cycle where I've thought to myself "DONT FORGET THAT PAIR" x10. You get caught up in the commutators and thinking about not going wrong that you actually forget it :'(

    Time for us to man up and get back on the horse!

    Ok so I had three DNFs today off by a total of 2 T-perms, 4 Y-perms, and 4 random moves.

    On the first one I finished with two twisted corners as well as two twisted edges.

    On the second one I undid the LAST setup move incorrectly (it was only two moves).

    On the third one I was off by two twisted corners.

    Still using OP, just hoping for my second success. So close three times!

    I didn't know you did blind! What times do you get? (You can beat me at normal 3x3 but I'll take blind. :P)

    The times were about 13 minutes for the second two and the first one was untimed. It's still a big improvement over my 22 minute first success though.

    After a bit of a dry spell, to ensure a success I just spent 7 minutes on the memorization (as opposed to normal 3-5 for me) and I took off my blindfold to realize that I started my execution with the wrong color scheme :P

    Again???

    My failure is that I spent the last hour doing 3x3 solves.
    I learned BLD once, but I only really use it as a party trick.
