Annoying fails?

[DGCubes]

On the other hand, you seem to be the fastest 5x5 solver in the world without an official average, so you do have that to brag about

Whoa, that's pretty awesome! How'd you figure it out?

Also, a fail: just a half hour ago, I broke my Pyraminx average of 5 PB at 2.64. I was overall pretty happy with this, especially because of a counting 1. But I realized I could roll a 4.08, the worst solve in the average! This was nearly awesome! So I did the next solve, got a 2.76, but it was a +2 because of a stupid tip that I turned wrong at the end making it a 4.76+. It would've been a 2.50 average...

I actually didn't 100% confirm that, I assumed that since 2:00 is a pretty standard soft cut, anyone with a sub-2 single will have an average. And there's ~5 people with a single faster than yours but still sup-2, but they all have averages.

Just remembered this one: In the 2x2 finals at Singapore Open 2014, I started off with 3 sub 3 solves. It could've easily been a really good average, but I had to mess up the last two solves and get a 5 and a 6 -_-

Oh and I guess failing to get a sub 10 3x3 avg100 a few times is a fail

In the semi final of ABHC I messed up the cross about twice, and did the wrong PLL 2/3 times, I was so nervous as I would have a chance of getting to the final since they extended it to 16 competitors. Failed the two rounds before as well. I average 11 and home and consistantly get >13 averages in comp :rolleyes:

These are 10 annoying fails:

 

[TheAlex6119]

Well, I only speedsolve 3x3 since my dear brother hid my 2x2 (PB 4.xx) for 2 weeks right after I lubed it, so silicone got as solid as rock and it turns like *****.

And yeah, the 3x3... Do you guys know how painful is trying to solve a Rubik's branded speed cube? Even if it locks up every 2 seconds. Btw, PB in 3x3 23.92

My first and only comp i've been to(USA Nats 2014), I was reallyyy bad at OH, bit I ended up making the cutoff (1:00, idek how I made it, I think I got a 58 or something), but I ended up DEAD LAST from the people who made the cutoff, which was pretty damn embarrassing haha (I think I got a 1:10 avg or something). Also, my 3x3 popped on a decent solve, which was a little annoying, but I ended up with an avg that was faster than my average at the time, so I was pretty happy with how the comp went.

At Manhasset Fall 2015, I competed in Pyraminx for the first time. On one of my solves, the Pyraminx popped and I got a 20-second solve. Then I realized I could have just gotten a DNF and the average would have been the same, as the 20 was my worst solve.

I feel your pain.

I feel your pain.

Same :c

Well I was signed up for riverhill fall 2015, the one with two world records broken at one comp. then i got sick and couldnt go. Also I was doing a practice solve without a timer and i got a full last layer skip.

My last offical 2x2 average, I failed not one or two solves, but four.
