How to fail PB mo3 3 times in a row while failing PB ao5 too!

Shameful DNF. Not about the result itself, but more like about my duuuuuuumb execution.

Nerves might have played a minor role, but in no way I'll use them as an excuse. My overall execution is bad and I should feel bad.

So, yeah. I'm already back at working on my corner comms, and trying to improve my TPS during edges in the meantime.

Lol, I went to a comp last weekend and had 2 DNFs and then a 1:02 with a 20 second pause lol. My pb in comp is only 57. I practiced so long and hard I should have gotten at least a sub-40.
I've been thinking about how in the world I did soooooo badly. I think it was just nerves and the inability to concentrate ;p :(
I decided that I'm going to start to walking up to people and just doing a bld solve since I usually get more butterflies doing that then in comp lol.

Memo PB! DNF was because of overspamming TPS lol, I completely messed up the 3rd last comm xd

76 moves in 12.39 seconds = 6.13 TPS
 
close one, fastest exec by a lot. Off by 3+ and 2x centers, probably messed up a comm as the memo was quite strong on this one. also first sub10 whcih lookes like it was almost solved lol

9:32.62 F2 L2 Bw' L2 B' Dw' L' B2 Bw' Uw2 Rw' Bw' Lw B' D R B F2 Uw' R2 U2 F2 Dw Uw2 L' Fw Bw Dw Lw' F' U D B' Fw' R' L F2 Bw2 Lw' L' Fw R Rw F' L2 F' B2 Uw2 R' L Fw' Uw2 D2 Dw2 B Bw2 Fw Uw' L2 Dw

Made a mistake during the second-last corner comm, the rest was fine :(
I think this is my fastest attempt so far.
 
I just did a 10 cube MBLD attempt, but I only got 8/10. The reason for this post in the BLD failure thread is because the only piece that I forgot to solve on both cubes was the "bld" corner :D. Had I remembered how to solve them "bld" it would have been 10/10. Also, memo was pretty slow.
 
I am really sorry for the double post, but I just attempted my first 5x5 BLD solve ever and it was off by 8 wings and 3 midges. Time was 32:48.37[17:21.13].

It could have been better if I had not mixed up the midge letters and remembered the edges pairs, but for a first attempt I am not to disappointed, and hopefully soon I will get a success.

By edges do you mean wings?

Oops, I just relized that I put the wrong name for the pieces. I was off by "8 wings and 3 midges". For some reason I get the name of the pieces mixed up easily and I forgot to make sure that I had the right names, but thank you for checking on that, and I fixed it in the original post as well.
 
First ever 5BLD attempt, at 2am: DNF by 2 + centres, 4 X centres, 12 wings, 5 midges, and 6 corners. Also woefully slow - over an hour - but hopefully the next attempts will be faster.

Edit:
5BLD attempt 2 - this time at 1am so I am improving ^^: DNF by 5 + centres, 2 X centres, and 4 corners. Sub-hour! Execution was a lot smoother too, though I'm kinda glad I was off by a couple of centres as to DNF on corners only would kill me.

Jinxed it.

Another 2am 5BLD attempt, attempt 3 - this one off by 6 corners and 7 edges. Edges here being actual edges as I messed up a Y perm on corners and DNFed due to that. Everything else was solved. =(
 
Well this is sad

Missed a 2:01 4bld ao5 by 2 solves off by 2 pieces each :(

avg of 5: DNF
