That's awesome.
What's the post-mortem? When you said you suspected your oblique comms, did you mean you think you just totally executed wrong so they threw other pieces out of place?
Could have been worse I guess...you solved the blue-white edge completely!

For post-mortem I think the best I could do is take a guess. And that guess is that I did a lot of the inner oblique commutators incorrectly just from lack of experience. I probably offset a bunch of wings and centers during that which would definitely mess up a good deal of the entire cube

I just tried the 2-7 relay. The 6x6 was off by two obliques, and the 7x7 was off by 3 outer x-centers and 3 corners. All of which were caused by frustratingly simple mistakes.

DNF(7:57) official 5BLD noooo I failed a SaR D:
Also 3 super slow 4BLD DNFs (fastest one was like 3:3x) because it was pretty much right after 5BLD xD

OK so this happened this weekend at North Iowa. I average 1:00 - 1:05 for reference:
First solve: 1:43 safety. messed up memo and kept second guessing myself
Second solve: Safety to go for mean because I was told to try it. Felt a corner twist. 1:48 DNF by one twisted corner.
Third solve: Really bad scramble, like 14/9 or something. I rushed it but messed up memo and had to restart. AGAIN I felt a corner twist. I stop the timer and say "DNF by twisted corner" before I take off the blindfold. I was right. 1:58 DNF by one twisted corner.

First 9bld attempt: closer than I expected
Im guessing I messed up some +center algs, or maybe sliced incorrectly for inner xcenters (i solve all obliques, then all xcenters, then all +centers). Note how the E layer is off. anyway, <1 minute off uwr isn't bad for my first attempt lol

Ok so after getting 6 success in a row I thought that was pretty good, then I got a 7th and that was my PB streak, then I began to play it safe to try to get an ao12:

Fastest attempt ever, memo was really solid, especially for wings, which made memo around 1:45. Still no sub 4 success
But hey, sub 2 exec is cool ^-^

I had finished memo and I hadn't closed a cycle break, so for some reason I thought it wasn't really a cycle break and that I overlooked something whatever; couldn't bother checking
Memo was about 1:15, exec about 1 minute woooooot

Just attempted 3BLD for the first time ever. Off by 3 corners, so reasonably close for a first attempt. Execution was ~13:20, memo was on and off for a couple hours before while doing other stuff. OP/OP because I was too lazy to learn M2 before attempting. Solve did not have parity, which is good because I don't know how to solve parity. Will try to get a success sometime in the next 24 hours, hopefully with knowledge of M2 and parity. Also need to learn my letter scheme. I don't know it at all; I have to count letters/stickers around the cube in a circle for every target.

Learn the first letter of each face, that way you only have to count around a face instead of the whole cube.

Attempted a 36 cube multibld in comp today.......
everything went swimmingly until I skipped 4 rooms in my memory palace during exec
Could have been much worse, but I did indeed notice my mistake after applying the incorrect memo to four cubes, so I continued on by applying that same 4 room memo to the next four cubes correctly.
Ended up being 28/36 in 58:29. Could have been a decent result (32/36) if I didn't make that ridiculously stupid mistake on four cubes.
Sad to hear, generally I have a more noober problem in rooms, that is , transitioning from one room to the next, it consumes so much mental energy and I have to find a way to make room transition more effortless.
anyway , all the best for 42 cube attempts in your upcoming comps!

That moment when you skip a room and scramble most cubes in your multi and get 4/13

Been practicing a lot of 4BLD lately and failing miserably.
However, I've been narrowing down my weak spots by doing isolated practice.
At first it was Wing tracing, which is getting very easy now and I only run into difficulties to keep track of them when there's multiple cycle breaks.
Then it was Wings execution because I'd completely forgotten the fact Fdl is used in 4BLD - this was a wild ride to say the least, tripped me up real bad.
Aaaaaand there's Centers. Oh boy. Tracing them is still a dreadful chore, in which I at least improved a little lately. Execution still is very shaky, but I'm growing a bit more confident. They're still the cause of the majority of my DNFs.
Here's to hoping my next 4BLD report will be on the accomplishment thread
