Blindsolving Failure Thread

Biggest MBLD failure of my life. Trying to warm up back into MBLD for nats and I get:

1/8 >:( lots of flipped edges, twisted corners, and like 3 cubes off by a bunch of edges.

Well, so much for me being any competition for Mike at Nationals.
 
4BLD first try:

DNF( 17:19[9:27] ) 8E 7C
It seems that I haven't undone conjugate for corners. Amazingly but the stupidest things devastated me. :(

Memo: edges, centers, corners.
Execution: comm centers, comm corners, r2 edges.

Memo:
edges: HiTman ODNeo "D" BaJa ViPER FaCaUMI, LZIS SLog
corners: ES VLDu Jebe
centers: YJ BeD SiMs GNXO ECHTa F**K yoU.

It wasn't so hard as I thought it would be. "NEXT!!"

Unlucky! Visualizing the centers is the hardest.

5BLD DNF(11:01[5:23]) R2 F2 Rw2 R Uw U2 F Bw' Rw2 L' Dw Uw Rw2 Fw2 R' L' Bw2 Fw Uw' Fw2 R2 L' F' D F' L' Fw' B Dw2 Uw' D2 F' Lw Fw Lw2 Rw Uw2 D' F' B2 Uw2 B2 Rw2 Bw U' Uw' Bw2 Uw B U' Bw2 Rw' F2 U F2 Bw' U' Lw' Bw' Dw2

Lapsed concentration for a split second and forgot whether I'd undone a set up move or not during centers execution. Revisited this and I should've got it - no other errors. :'(

Need a better cube.

Method - all commutators
Cube - SS

1. I separate the centers cycle so their sticker could be matched with some corners comm and then it's easy. My memo is exact same for corners and centers so it's very easy to translate centers to corners. I don't know whether or not I explained this well, but after some practice should be amazingly quick.

2. Even the edges? o_o

1. Yes you did explain it just fine. It took me a while to realize that you could actually apply center comms to the corners! I was soooo happy when I worked it out :)

2. Yes! Play around with: r U2 r' [D2] r U2 r' [D2] for wings. Best alg ever :)

2. Sweeeet!

3. I must say I now have great respect for you guys that do 4bld sub8, because I believe that 8m will be my limit, so sub8 is amazing. :)
And how the heck did Marcell do sub3, Jesus Christ??!

2. I learnt some commutators that solve the l and r-slice pieces and took quite a few minutes off :) Gradually replacing all my r2/M2 algs was the best thing I've done cubing

3. I can't even comprehend. Purely because of the memo times these people have! 1:00-1:30 memo is beyond me (and probably most people)

First full 6bld attempt: 37:00.72 DNF (memo was about 17:43)

Off by 4 corners, 2 outer x centers, 5 inner x centers, 9 obliques? (I think that's what they are called), 8 outer edges, and 8 inner edges.
 
3/4 mbld.

memo was rock-solid but that second cube was actually a 4x4 (I have only 3x3s) and when I needed to shoot the piece to BU with M2 alg I couldn't do alg fast enough on 4x4 and got all confused and messed up the cube. :P

I memo using one bus station per cube and I imagine some epic scenes happening on every station, and that "epicness" sticks lik bubblegum to my head. Kinda journey method. I can recall memo 4hours later instantly and flawlessly. :)
 
Yay, D-day! (DNF day)

First solve of the day would easily be an pb, for like 20secs, but I forgot 4 edges to solve. :(
And then, DNF x6! I think I mess up not undoing centers conjugate and that messes up the rest of the centers and almost all the edges. Bad day. :P

Is there a way to tell if you have 3bld parity without doing memo
