Annoying fails?

[CubingwithChris]

Once I was doing 4x4 in the car and it was gonna be a sub 1:30 Ao5 (my first EVER) But then on my second to last solve I SNEEZED! AKJFHEJTGWEOUHRJBNW,HugrkjtehGRE UKVJYG! I already had a bad ish solve so that just ****** it up!

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

[obelisk477]

[theROUXbiksCube]

9.97
12.54
(9.89)
14.97
(17.06)
That could've gone completely better.

 

[Suzuha]

Solves where get the EASIEST scrambles then I screw up the cross. UGH

 

[CubeCow]

I average 1 min and I almost had a 30 sec time that a messed up by forgetting a CCW edge cycle *facepalms* It was a 45 sec time. BUT STILL A PB

Full OLL skip

Got a official 2.37+2 pyraminx solve lol

The camera didn't capture the solve unfortunately.

This solve:

11.95
scramble: F2 D2 F2 U R2 F2 D' B2 U2 B2 L2 F L B U' L' B2 F' R2 F L2 U
inspection: z2 y2
cross: F L F2 R'
1st pair: R U R' y' U R U' R'
2nd pair: L U2 L2 U' L
3rd pair: y R U R2 U' R
4th pair: U' R' F R F' U R U' R'
OLL: skip
PLL: U2 y' x R' U R' D2 2-second lockup R U' R' D2 R2

I started the A-perm around 8.7ish, this could easily have been my first sub-10. This is why I have a love-hate relationship with my Gans 356... so much smoother than my Weilong but lockups like this just kill me.

mod it!

At Philips Exeter, I DNFed last solve of 3x3 and of 2x2. SAME ******* TIMER TOO!

I hate PRO timers soo much. We need more gen 2s in this world. Not Glow timers, because those take like 20s to start.

 

[DGCubes]

This is going to be split up into a few categories:

Pyraminx podium fails:
3rd in first round, 6th in finals at Starlight 2014.
4th at Red Cross 2014.
4th at Yale Spring 2014.

Making next round fails:
41st in 3x3 first round at Princeton Winter 2014 - top 40 make round 2.
17th in 3x3 second round at Norwich 2015 - top 16 make finals; Tim Wong left early though, so I still got a spot.
2:00.09 5x5 solve at Norwich 2015 - cutoff was 2:00.

Other fails:
3 BLD DNFs at 2 different comps.
Getting last of the non-DNFers in OH at Starlight 2014.
3/7 MBLD total fail (at home; PB is a 4/4 and I've gotten 5/6).

On the other hand, you seem to be the fastest 5x5 solver in the world without an official average, so you do have that to brag about

 

[b0ssGuy23]

At Music City 2015, I would've had a sub 20 average if I hadn't gotten a 36. That 36 would've been a sub 20 if I hadn't messed up a U perm. Ikr.

At Atlanta Open 2015, I would've made finals if I didn't get a DNF average.

I would've made 2x2 finals if they didn't reduce 20 finalists to 15 finalists. Even then, I made 18 place -_-

 

[willtri4]

Dropping your cube mid-solve. Especially in 2x2.

Pyra at Atlanta Open 2015, had a 4.xx DNF because I sledgehammered the wrong way. Gave me a counting 13 which bumped my average from 6.xx to 9.xx.

 

[joshsailscga]

At Music City 2015, I would've had a sub 20 average if I hadn't gotten a 36. That 36 would've been a sub 20 if I hadn't messed up a U perm. Ikr.

That exact thing happened to me at Slow and Steady, I messed up PLL on what would have been ~18, turned into 36. Gave me a counting 24

 

[cuberkid10]

Music City Speedsolving:

13.52 average for 1st round of 3x3 when I average in the 10's. Every competition I've been to, my 1st round 3x3 results have been significantly worse than what I usually average.

Missed Pyraminx podium by .4. But 1-4 were only .7 apart, so I don't feel too bad.

My sub-9 single fail (see my thread for video).

 

[DanpHan]

Have to say, DNF average in nats semifinals is definitely my #1 ;_;

12.37 average in first round at Slow n' Steady is up there. Counting 15 (was a +2). My second worst average at that competition was 9.08. In fact, my worst solve for the rest of the competition was 10.07. Not too upset since I did well after that fail.

Also had a round of 2x2 at nats with counting solves: 2.01, 2.10, 4.something -_-

2x2 R1 1 Lawrence Open 2014- DNF(19.56)
(My dad was wrong; the timer did work. The display didn't work. Nor did my brain for some reason. I kept doing the same thing over and over.)
I remained calm, got super lucky, and somehow ended up with my comp best 5.15 average with a counting 3.99 (that was actually 3.94 but the judge messed up the 4 and I didn't notice) and ended up in 8th place for the first round.

I would've made 2x2 finals if they didn't reduce 20 finalists to 15 finalists. Even then, I made 18 place -_-

lolno, they had to cut off the number of finalists.

Anyway, at Music City 2015, my 6x6's stickers were so bad that I had to go running around for someone else's 6x6.
And then I missed cutoff by 1.14 seconds ;-;
I also had 2 +2s in Pyra (10 and 12), and a 12 single when I globally averaged 7.

4x4 at Atlanta Open
Clock at US Nats 2015

Twice today I was doing OH, and I accidentally did 2H ;-;
