Blindsolving Failure Thread

Best of luck guys, but sadly successes aren't that easy. I've had a very poor success rate for BLD recently, including 0/3 4BLD tonight: fastest was 4:01 off by 3 wings, slowest was >5 mins and lots of fail (got an AoSu now though, which is cool).

This ^ my 5BLD has been hit and miss, hopefully we'll all recover and perform when it matters the most.

And I will use your MegaBLD tutorials one day x)
 
Just did an 11 cube multi, but misplaced one of the cubes and thought I was done after 10 (stopped the timer, was thinking "oops" right away).

I put the blindfold back on right after and got it. Other than that I was only off by 2 twisted corners. 36:06 was the time (would've been about 37). Aiming for 30.
 
On the bus ride home today I memo'd a 4x4 because I haven't done a legit 4x4 BLD over 6 months, and even then it was only 3 attempts, AND before that it was probably around 6 months. I did much better than I'd done in the other attempts, only 3 edges off! Darn.
 
3BLD DNF in 3:07.20, first attempt in months. Off by one twisted corner, and I knew it.
E: I think I forgot to twist the corner back, because my buffer was twisted after the next attempt :fp

Another failed 3bld attempt. Memo was 15 minutes, execution was 5. Looked like a scrambled cube when I was done :(

I don't think you're ready to do full bld solves. Memo'ing is just a waste of time if your execution fails anyway. Start practicing by writing down what you would memo instead of actually memo'ing it, and solve the cube blind with the help of that paper. Only when you can do that very accurate, you can start doing full bld attempts.

Execution is fine, my problem was with the memo. I had a breakthrough today and finally figured out something I was doing wrong with my letter pairs. Going to work on it and hopefully get a BLD success this weekend!

2:59.72 4BLD DNF, 4 centers. Executed some cycles from the wrong buffer :( Floating buffers suck sometimes

Edit: The scramble was easy and it had DP which was quite cool
