Best scramble you messed up

[Eric4112]

Idk if many people have had this, but have you ever had a really good scramble then messed it up in the most funny way? You can also put fumbles on this thread i guess.

I just had one:
5 move cross, 2 free pairs-
-messed up one of ther free pairs
-accidentally removed a completed pair from slot and almost broke it
-did wrong OLL (did sune for this thing: R U2 (R2 U') (R2 U') R2 U2 R)
-did wrong PLL
-got 39.95
(i forgot what scramble)

I didn't messed this scramble up, because I wasn't even able to do it
It was a comp in October that I should have went, but then sprained my fingers and I couldn't go and at they comp, there was a 7 mover for skewb, so NR fail

1. Two move clock cross that I fumbled tremendously a few years ago (when I still used flip).

2. 6-mover pyra scramble that should have been the easiest official 1.xx of my life. I messed up a tip and ended up with a 3.xx.

Nahh bro not the tips again

I got a really lucky set of scrambles in a comp, i could have one looked one of the scrams, i also had a 14 move scramble that i fumbled by “accidentally” tossing the cube in the air because i was going to pick up my cube after it looked like i was going to +2. I ended up not starting the timer anyway lol. This DNFed me out of a gold medal

y'
U' B R F D' R' L // EOCross

// 30stm 5.55s 5.40tps

However, I could have done:

U' D L' U' L D' // 1st+2nd
U2D R' U R D' // 3rd+TSLE
R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R2 // TTLL

for 26stm. However, I still was super slow bc i suck at recognising pseudo

i dont got the scramble but i remember getting to pll by around 9 seconds and I DNF's out of a 12.XXX cuz of z perm(wouldve been pb at the time)

A 5 mover official 2x2 solve at UK championship 2024 I locked up crazy and got a 1.60 and the worst part was I got a 1.19 plus 2 the solve before on a 7 mover as well

Back in June 2008 I got to PLL in 4 seconds. The WR was 8.72 at the time and my official PR average was 15.23, so it's had to really convey how lucky this was… until the cube popped during PLL.

I think I may claim the title of "luckiest, yet unluckiest, solve ever."

After looking at the video, I realize that this looks a lot like e a fake, and I can't do anything from preventing people calling it a fake (my best argument is that if it was fake, I would simply solve until I didn't have a POP). However, I assure you that it is real. I was trying to film a decent average video, and on one attempt, the following was the first scramble:

L2 R2 B2 D U2 L' B' R B' F L2 R' F2 U B2 R' B' F' U' L' R' D U2 B' F

The following was my solution up to PLL:

y x U l' L2 U' F2
x2 R' U R d' L' U...

It's sad that you couldn't take advantage of that scramble, it looks very easy. But I decided to look at the scramble since I thought the LL could be improved, so I looked into a few ZBLS cases with some slightly different starts and I was able to find 2 solutions that could be good. I tried to find the shortest ZBLL algs for the case while also not losing out on speed too much, and I think I was able to find algs for both solutions that fit. Unfortunately I don't think this scramble is too amazing for ZB since none of the ZBLL's were very short.
