Yes.

Thats why I'd never use all the pop-able cubes for bld in comps. (My ex-main, alpha V used to be my main cube for BLD too and it pops once in around every 3 BLD solve.)

Lol, my zhanchi never popped during bld solves, it just probably hated me that day!
 
6/12 multi blind in 1:28:00
More cubes solved than expected (and a few of the DNFs are just like 3 cycles or flips away), but much slower than I'd hoped. Cool anyway though.
And after using a yj foot cube on the first solve a rubik's brand felt heavenly.
 
Worst DNF I've ever had:

12:09.89 F' U D L u2 F r F2 R l2 b' D f F' l2 b2 u r2 U' u' b2 F R' B2 r d' F r2 F2 f2 r d l u2 F l' B' d' B2 F2 u2 f F2 R' D' B' D r b D2 L2 R f D F' B r' l2 b' D2

3 corners =(
 
First 5BLD attempt ever: 39.39.95 DNF.

Off by
0 Corners
2 X Centers
11 + Centers
3 Midges
0 Dedges

But not really, because the centers on the S layer were rotated counter clockwise, which makes a bunch more really unsolved. :p

So yea, semi close...

Edit: @Noah, no, the order I solve in is the order I posted above, so my 4-movers were after centers.

You didn't use 4-movers before centers were solved, did you?
 
3BLD: DNF (2:31.18)
Would have been a PB by almost a minute, but something went terrible wrong. I thought there was a decent chance it was solved when I were done, but around half of the pieces, including the M-slice, were wrong.

6x6 blindfolded first ever attempt total time was 1 hour 32 minutes 53 seconds i got 104/152 pieces solved. i didn't have these pieces solved
12 inner corners
11 left obliques
7 right obliques
7 outer wings
7 inner wings
really happy with the time i thought at least 2 hours and a nice attempt too

YAY! you're attempting 6x6 BLD. You did better than my first attempt and nice time as well.

Did you like those damn obliques? :P

Hahaha that's the only thing stopping me from trying 6BLD right now =P I don't even know how to go about it, then again, I havn't even tried. I'm guessing it's similar to 4x4 centres... but.. different?

It's very much like 4x4 edges. There are two sets of obliques in 6x6 BLD and the first set is normal like how you would usually solve edges in 4x4 BLD and the other set is the exact opposite to the first set. The annoying part is getting mixed up with the oblique location. For example with the LD location in 4x4 BLD edges, because I've done 4x4 BLD many times I always know that the edge I want to solve is the piece that's more away from you. Same with the Obliques, the first set has the same locations as 4x4 BLD edges so the oblique that is located in the LU location is the one that is more away from you. With the other set of obliques, it is the exact opposite so the oblique you want that is in the LU location is the oblique that is the closest to you. You always get mixed up especially in memorization.

I'm working it out right now and this is the worst thing ever. Thanks dude, it's making sense now. I can see why so many get confused over them =P

Found a pic on another thread that helped explain 6BLD centres.

thank you brock. its good to know tha im doing alright. im actually thinking of doing 7BLD first before trying this again so i might be the first australian to get it ;) plus it will make the next 6BLD attempt better
memoing the obliques were a pain! solving the left ones were the worst part about 6BLD (other then memoing them) the right ones i actually loved to solve favourite part of 6BLD actually
