I am really sorry for the double post, but I just attempted my first 5x5 BLD solve ever and it was off by 8 wings and 3 midges. Time was 32:48.37[17:21.13].

It could have been better if I had not mixed up the midge letters and remembered the edges pairs, but for a first attempt I am not to disappointed, and hopefully soon I will get a success.

By edges do you mean wings?

By edges do you mean wings?

Oops, I just relized that I put the wrong name for the pieces. I was off by "8 wings and 3 midges". For some reason I get the name of the pieces mixed up easily and I forgot to make sure that I had the right names, but thank you for checking on that, and I fixed it in the original post as well.

First ever 5BLD attempt, at 2am: DNF by 2 + centres, 4 X centres, 12 wings, 5 midges, and 6 corners. Also woefully slow - over an hour - but hopefully the next attempts will be faster.

Edit:
5BLD attempt 2 - this time at 1am so I am improving ^^: DNF by 5 + centres, 2 X centres, and 4 corners. Sub-hour! Execution was a lot smoother too, though I'm kinda glad I was off by a couple of centres as to DNF on corners only would kill me.

Jinxed it.

Another 2am 5BLD attempt, attempt 3 - this one off by 6 corners and 7 edges. Edges here being actual edges as I messed up a Y perm on corners and DNFed due to that. Everything else was solved. =(

Well this is sad

2-7BLD DNF by 4 centers on 6x6 and a slice on 7x7

time was slow anyway because I was tired, 1:03:xx with 40:xx memo

First try at 2-8BLD relay: 1:42:53.61[1:01:17.40] DNF

2x2-5x5 and 8x8 all solved.
7x7 DNFed by 2 obliques and a missed slice, 6x6 DNFed by 2 inner x-centers.

Honestly a lot closer than I expected for the first try. 3 mistakes isn't bad. Also this is my second ever 8BLD success lol.

 

[Underwatercuber]

Failed a 3bld mean today at comp because I messed up my middle solve somehow. Utah still doesn’t have a mean lol.

 

[CarterK]

So 3BLD yesterday...

First scramble: 14'/9, 2:02 DNF, couldn't wrap my head around memo
Second: Still pretty bad, wasn't in the mood, 1:49
Third: 12'/6'. Here's the real problem

I messed up memo, so that wasted 5 seconds
I messed up a comm, so that wasted another 5 seconds
I get to corners at 34 (24 without the messups)
I FORGET CORNERS. How do you even forget on that scramble.
After remembering at 1:09, I get a 1:14.

Still won, but super dumb, my official pb is 41.03

No joke, this is something like my 15th sub-35 8bld dnf by 3 pieces or less.

Second attempt at 2-8BLD relay: dnf by 6 and 8. Time was satisfyingly large improvement though: 1:36:43.10[57:12.21].

I suspect one missed outer layer turn on the 8x8 and surprisingly 3 mistakes during exec on 6x6, all either an inversed comm or a recall mistake (off by 3 wings, 3 inner x, 3 obliques)

 

[sigalig]

[Gomorrite]

I go excited into Blindfold Discussion after seeing the last post is by sigalig, expecting another UWR... only to see it is in the Blindfold Failures thread.

 

[Fábio De'Rose]

Double DNF'd yesterday on official 4BLD, both because of incredibly dumb execution mistakes.

And failed miserably on 3BLD as well, although I did get a 2:09 success so yay for another bronze, I guess? :|

 

[Roman]

I have no idea why is it no viral yet.
Kamil Przybylski failed WR by a corner twist. 41/42 in 59:57 at YJ Fest 2018, would've been WR by 3 seconds. http://cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=3084&cat=19&rnd=1
He said he'll upload the video as soon as he come home ^^

 

[asacuber]

holy... i can understand a recall mistake, exe mistake or whatever, but this is just too sad :/

 

[cubeshepherd]

9/11 MBLD Fail. I am a little sad about this attempt because one of the DNF'd cubes was only off by 2 edges and if I had remembered that letter pair this attempt would have been a PB since it would have been 10/11.

But this was my first time trying 11 cube in MBLD so it not to disappointing, but I need to work on remembering everything better (like spending a little more time reviewing).
Also, I decided to switch to OP/OP for MBLD recently because I know that I will have a harder time trying to remember all the M2 algs and if I will have parity on a cube, at the competition that I am going to in a couple of day, so instead worrying about parity and what not I am going to be using OP/OP this time around, especially since I get much more nervous in a competition, and this will be the first time competing in MBLD at a competition, so with all that combined I will stick with OP/OP.

Missed my first 5BLD Mo3 by 2 midges
