3-style obviously. Not really the thread to be asking this question though, probably better in the random blindfolded thread.

DNF by a lot?
Had a 7:10 with 3 +centers off at my last comp btw. Grzegorz told me about 1-2 years ago that I will have about 20-30 of these official DNFs before getting a good time, right now I think I have about 15 DNFs who were off by 2 or 3 pieces only

Aww, too bad. Didn't you compete in 4bld?

 

[Cale S]

We had to choose between 4BLD and 5BLD

Your time will come! It took me 28 attempts to sub-6 in competition, to put things into perspective

All my good solves are sandwiched between DNFs
Very frustrating!!!!

DNF(52.00), 1:17.06, 34.68, 56.39,DNF(1:48.51), 39.34,DNF(1:12.35), 47.61, DNF(1:15.77), 43.61,DNF(1:06.56)

I am so frustrated at myself!!!

I got a really easy scramble, easy memo and I knew this what gonna be a PB. When I got to my very last twisted corner, I realised I memoed it wrong. So I shot to where I thought it was.
I had a 50/50 chance and picked the wrong sticker, ended with 2 twisted corners.

WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A PB!!!!!!!!!!

My two official attempts at 5BLD this past weekend ended up in DNF's by 5 pieces each (28 and 32 minutes).

5th 2/2 MBLD attempt:
0/2 in 18:06 [~13:00], both cubes off by 3 edges (both were CCW U-perms lol)

always trust your first guess/instinct

Ok

MBLD: 1/2 in 12:39 [7-9:00]
The second cube was off by quite a bit, though much faster than the other attempts.
I think I'll be crazy and try 3 cubes next.

 

[Daniel Lin]

dumb 3BLD average
DNF(32.84),DNF(38.81),DNF(36.58),DNF(37.11),DNF(39.74)
the first was off by 2 edges, second was off by an edge 3 cycle, third I twisted the corner the wrong way, fourth was a mess, and last had way too long memo

First ever 5BLD attempt, went super slow and careful but I still managed to screw up +centers. I think I had 6 of them wrong, but everything else was perfect. Welp, 41 minutes down the drain lol. Life of a BigBLD solver

EDIT:
I learned something today and now I think I know know why I failed this attempt. For midges, when shooting to BD I used the same alg I use in 3BLD with M2, which is M U2 M U2. However, this alg swaps some +centers with others on the same face, and since I executed edges and then centers, this messed up about half of my +centers.
It's kind of bittersweet to figure this out, cus that means I executed everything perfectly but just used a bad alg due to my own ignorance.
