ALMOST got a 54.09 3BLD single, but it was a DNF by a few edges.

First m2/op attempt. Messed up a few edges setup moves. Plus cube was misoriented. Not sure when that happened.
Edit: next solve: 4 twisted corners (wtf) off by four edges

The corners are probably twisted because you misoriented one, and that misorients the ones after it.

That makes since. M2/OP mean of 3: DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF. Each about 5:30. Need to practice edges in m slice. Can't remember all the algs.

It isn't that hard after all. Basically just 3 algs (and some inverses). It takes a while to get used to it. I practised BLD only for 1 day, and my success rate is about 40% now with times around 3 minutes. The failures are usually wrong by flipped edges or twisted corners, or just a 3-cycle (I use M2/OP)

My success rate is less than 10%. I am bad. I need to practice more.

That doesn't necessarily mean you need to practice more. My success rate is like 90% and I don't practice.

Failed First attempt at 4x4.
got like 70 % of centers, nothing else.
It's not that suprising considering I'm a complete noob at 3BLD.
I was forced to use commutators that I didn't know and it was almost as bad as being lost in the fog.
Oh wait, I was lost in the fog.

You are right in that it doesn't mean he has to do more solves, but it does mean he has to practice his technique more. You have a very sturdy technique because I taught you personally, but he may not have worked all the kinks out of his yet.

Well that was a waste of an hour... I still don't have anything better than a DNF in multi :fp

lol.
I haven't done BLD in days... I'm gonna do some later. A bunch. Until one of the following occurs:
a) my brain explodes
b) I actually CANNOT remember anything (unlikely)
c) I get a sup10 attempt
d) I get an ao5
e) I break both my arms
f) I actually go blind

just did my worst attempt to date, only one edge ended up in the correct place, memo was good, execution looked good but obviously wasn't

My second 4BLD attempt ever: 9 Centers Off, 2 Twisted Corners and 6 Wings off. Getting Close, since the cube looks more solved than scrambled. Time was something around 30 minutes. I'll try to get a success by the end of the year

4BLD 5:24.xy DNF (yesterday?). Left last corner until the end because I had parity, then shot to the wrong corner (right face at least). Would have been PB, I think in future I'll do a 3-cycle at the end of corners so I always solve parity with the same corner and don't need to remember which one to solve.

9x9x9 blindfolded DNF - I'm not sure, I think I miss a part of commutator during solving 2nd group of T-centers... Or not... I don't wanna think about it.
Yes, Oliver, you motivated me to keep on, so I ordered a 9x9SS
