Apparently I did two wing targets in reverse order. Off by 4 wings in total.

20:06 7BLD DNF by 3 wings and 4 centers

last success was in 2015

 

[sigalig]

So I think I just confirmed that my latest 9bld attempt (attempt #8) was off by a single missed U move. Checked the video, and at one point during outer +centers (the centers I solve last) I did the comm [U 2R2 U', M'] instead of U setup to this comm. It ended up making the cube off by 8 of each wing type, 4 corners, 4 wings, (I solve all of these after centers) and 2 outer +centers.

One move.
One bloody move

Time was 1:11:49.53[32:43.77] btw.

I've smashed my longest 4BLD DNF streak, currently at 14 and going on.

My PB single is 5:20. Now I've got a great bit faster, my fastest attempt has been 3:59, and the closest one probably 4:12, off by two centers. I hope the accuracy will come, and I'll smash my pb by over a minute . Just need a success. Hoping to be NR3 when I next get to do 4BLD at comp.

E: The streak lasted for 20 solves, finally ended it and got a PB of 4:19.

This was meant to be a safety solve to get my first average.

 

[Underwatercuber]

This was meant to be a safety solve to get my first average.

Been there done that, I also judged my friend (who is a delegate) and he did that on his first solve lol

 

[cubeshepherd]

This happened a few weeks ago, but when I attempted my first 4x4 blind solve I would have gotten a success at 21:38.? if I had remembered to do the r2 parity alg.

[Fábio De'Rose]

Well, ain't this disheartening. Went ultra safe, took my time during memo and execution... And was off by everything but corners. Skipped a letter pair in Wings and another in Centers, and only noticed when it was too late.

What bugs me the most is that the time was just a little above average. I assumed this would be at least 15min.

Would have gotten a 15:34.67 4x4 blind success except I forgot to do wing parity. : ( But right after that I got a 14:51.31 success which is my new PB

see the flipped edge in DB? Well, I didn't

 

[CarterK]

see the flipped edge in DB? Well, I didn't

this has got to be my most common DNF. Just be happy with the fact that it wouldn't be that good because of the flip. (also do you have an alg for DF DB flipped?)

I would've finished it with [R: Uw M Uw2' M Uw] [M, D L2 D'] instead of doing just [R: U' M' U2' M U'] and DNFing

Also no I don't have an alg for those flipped, nope. I would just do x2 and standard alg (at the end), or flipping that + the buffer at the beginning, or as I almost always do, just breaking cycle at the flipped edge which is the fastest way (if I spot it XD)

I agree it wouldn't have been sub20, but perhaps a 21 or a 22 which is still not too bad for me

triple post, wut, this:

your session is sub24 and over 50%, at about 25 solves... but then you get 10 dnfs in a row with only one success, of 26.x seconds... then you keep failing all your 22s by 1 wrong move and now your session says 17/38 24.15

To flip DF and DB I just use the standard alg for opp but with M' and D Moves

I need a slight regrip for this one to work. Do you think that's better than doing M2 then the regular alg? That allows for a minor cancelation, so not too bad IMO.

That is what I do. M (U M')3 U2 (M' U)3 M.
