mBLD 9/10 - off by 1 letter pair :/
Tbf it was the first time I've ever attempted 10, but it's the first time I've had a memo/recall error in 5 weeks, the rest have all been silly execution errors or n/n

Failed filmed MBLD attempt :(

25/25 MBLD in 1hr 2min 56.86s or 21/25 MBLD in 1hr (memo ~38-39min) (Memo and review for the first 6 cubes was 5min 20ish seconds)

Could have been sub1hr without 9 major pauses during execution.
Part of it had to do with me being a little nervous when filming a mbld attempt. Memo for some of the cubes didn't stand out very much.

Anyway, it's probably time to attempt more than 25 cubes.

 
3 corners
i don't really care anymore, cuz sub 18 will happen eventually :)

7BLD Attempt 3 - DNF (46:26.54 [20:53.76])

Time was way better than I was expecting since it had been around a month since my last attempt.

At one point during the solve I tried to do a B' but thought I did a Bw' by accident so I undid the Bw' on the inner layer, looking at the cube it looks like I did an extra slice move, so I probably did just to a B' and undoing it was a mistake. Although a few centres are also unsolved not in that layer, so it probably would've been a DNF anyway.
 
Two 4BLD Attempts in a row both off by 3 wings :(
The first was 13:xx and second was 11:xx (my fastest attempt ever)
I've only had 2 success ever. Little details are easy to forget if you rush over them.

Ok so the 1:41 was overall PB, the 1:39 was overall PB and the 1:22 would have made:
Smashed PB single
Thrashed PB mean
Blown my PB ao5

But no, 2 flipped edges.

Edit: the exact same thing happened when I rolled on but faster times!!!!!

5BLD DNF (9:39.34 [4:18.15])

3 midges, 5 wings - not that close, but a lot closer then my other sub-10 DNF.

Mistakes were missing a wing 2-cycle as well as executing another wing target incorrectly messing up some others in the process, and incorrectly memorising 'I' as 'S' forgetting about the M2 misalignment on even numbered targets during midges.
 
DNF(15.77) D2 U2 F R2 U2 F D2 B2 U2 B F U' B2 R' D' F D2 U2 R B' U2

off by 2 twisted corners that i didn't solve

if i had remembered to twist them it prob would've been a low 17
 
This would've been a 3BLD single PB (and 4th success) by about 3 minutes if I didn't get a DNF of 7 unsolved pieces...

My memo for edges was ViriZion (the pokemon) WAnts PaC-man's TaC FaG LoLipop, and I've already forgotten the corner memo

really easy scramble, so rip
could've been 17 i think
