0/16 Multi BLD

What a bummer.

Ouch... within an hour?

 

[antoineccantin]

Ouch... within an hour?

Yeah.

So many things went wrong in this attempt. First, one of my earplugs fell out. Then, my camera turned off. I discovered that two cubes had the same scramble. I was having a hard time remembering everything, but was rushed and couldn't do a final review like I usually do because I didn't have enough time left. The worst thing though, was that once I started execution, I couldn't figure out which cube was which, started executing the wrong cubes, then got completely confused and couldn't find the right ones. In the end, I gave up at ~49 minutes.

Yeah.

Spoiler: The only way is up from here!

0/17?

2:46.97 3BLD DNF (two flipped edges).

Would have been PB by 30+ seconds.

2:46.97 3BLD DNF (two flipped edges).

Would have been PB by 30+ seconds.

Agh, same thing happened to me a little while back. I somehow flipped the wrong edges. Time was pretty similar too, maybe like 2:40ish, and memo was crazy fast, like 1:05. My execution always sucks.

7x7 blindfolded DNF(20:33.38)[9:36.48] by two wings :tu

3BLD DNF 2nd Attempt off By 2 corners forgot memo LOL.

 

[CyanSandwich]

9/10 4BLD successes. Then a DNF by 2 centers and another DNF.

Easy scramble. Memo shoulda been faster and execution was really shaky.

 

[antoineccantin]

Ah man! Missed out on a 59.96 3BLD average of 5 (first sub-1 avg5) because I twisted a corner the wrong way on the last solve

57.39[27.73], 57.97[29.18], DNF(1:16.68)[37.77], (56.70[32.71]), (DNF(1:04.52)[39.15])

That memo jump. Then I forgot an edge letter for about a minute during execution. PB is 2:22. I'm so sad.
But it wasn't the end of the world, I was still only 2 solves away from an average of 50.

But then my fingers slipped while executing the last corner (I execute corners first) on the very next solve, and I ended up being off by a U before starting edges.

9:46.87[4:58.27] 5BLD

off by 3 edges and 2 +-centers

sub-10 is in reach

Nice. Do you still use m2/r2/U2/OP? because that's pretty fast.

Nice. Do you still use m2/r2/U2/OP? because that's pretty fast.

yep. i do use a lot of advanced r2/M2 for edges but just basic U2 for centers

 

[Sessinator]

Almost a pb avg12...but I DNFed the last solve so no average of 12 this go around. It'll happen in due time.

Was on my way to a good 4BLD avg12

DNF(5:53.65)[1:57.60] by 2 centers

I'm convinced it was because of the poor lighting. Yellow and white were swapped.

 

[Hari]

First attempt at a 7 cube multi ends in a 4/7. 29:20[20:21.xx] Very safe memo and definitely expected the accuracy to be better than it was. 2 cubes off by 3 edges and one off by 4 edges and 4 corners.

 

[goodatthis]

For some reason, whenever I do partial 4BLD attempts, my center accuracy is really good, but my accuracy with wings sucks. Maybe it's because I'm in the mindset that wings set the same amount of information as centers, but they're really not due to orienting. Gotta start practicing wings if I want to get a success at Nats! At least this tells me that the step to 5BLD won't be that hard, since the bulk of it is centers.

 

[Iggy]

6:29.44 5BLD DNF by an execution mistake (during wings I think). First attempt since my comp. And none of my attempts at my comp were sub 9...

 

[mande]

8/15 and 9/15 in comp. Only consolation is that both attempts were sub hour fairly comfortably.
54.xx 3BLD DNF by 4 corners.

 

[CyanSandwich]

19/23 1:03:45.31[37:21.52]

First 23 cube attempt though.
2 flipped edges, 4 corners, accidental/missed move, and something bad.
