What was your worst "If only I..." moment?

[ryanj92]

oh lol this thread again, time to bust out some more clock fails

6.95, 7.56, 6.17, DNF, 8.36 = 7.62
DNF was low-mid 7 :/

DNF, 6.98, 10.70, DNF, 7.65 = DNF
both DNF's could have been sub-NR single

At my last competition someone showed me how to do pseudo layers on Skewb. Later in second (i'm not sure) skewb round I got a 1 move pseudo layer to double sledge.
Time was 1.98, but the layers were not fully aligned , so I got a +2.

Every time when i go too fast to recognize the sune coll and get a AUFless J-perm after that which would have been just niklas and pll skip...

If only I hadn't gotten super nervous for no reason in the 2x2 finals at OKC I would have been 3rd.

If only I hadn't kept the solved cube in my hands for about 1.5s (checking if there were any pieces left to solve), I would have got a 3BLD NR single at World's 2015. My time was 36.20 and the NR was 36.19 back then.

If only I double checked my midges memo for 5bld last comp, I would have had a 20:45 success (3 midges off)

If only I hadn't missed my first LL skip on an easy F2L.

 

[DGCubes]

If only I remembered how NISS worked and didn't DNF my first ever FMC attempt a few hours ago.

I use NISS regularly, but I completely forgot how to apply each block's solution to the actual scramble.

If only I did an H-perm instead of parity U parity U' on 4x4 for PB.

If only hadnt screwed up 2x2 finals today I wouldve won.

If only I hadnt gotten nervous after two 7s in 3x3 finals i might have gotten sub 8 average/maybe NR. Rip no more 3x3

Cubing Classic 2016, 3x3 round 1.
At this time I averaged like 16.

14.77 13.73 DNF 17.90 26.29

First DNF was timer malfunction, got a corner twist on the 17, and then my friend was judging me on my last solve. Got to OLL at about 11 and was about to begin the alg. During this solve, my friend decided it was a good idea to get rid of some of the solved cubes on his station. So he tried waving his arms around to get the attention of a runner. But when this failed, he did the next logical thing to do; lean over and shout into my ear. At this point I messed up my alg and didn't know if I could talk to a delegate about it or not. And after reconstructing the solve afterwards, I saw that if I had smoothly done the alg, it would have been a PLL skip.

If only I wasn't friends with Oscar Cheung.

LOL I feel sorry for you. I also got a DNF and a 42 because of a bad cube (I averaged like 20 seconds)

If I didn't shout out "SUB 20!" while solving next to Feliks (while he was recording 3x3 first round) I wouldn't have a bunch of randoms in the comments saying "GOOD JOB SUB 20 KID BUT NEVER SAY SUB 20 NEXT TO FELIKS!" So yeah.

Did it affect his solve ?

I don't think so. You can see for yourself

You did even scream it lol i doubt he even heard it and he is probably used to people being loud around him.
