Blindsolving Failure Thread

I've just started learning BLD. I've been practising my corners with 2BLD, and I've tried almost 20 times now without a single success. The reason is I'm too lazy to find out how to really memorise the cubes. I can perform my setup moves, algs, and un-setup moves perfectly and have a pretty strong memorisation system, so the last thing I need to do now is to find out the real way of memorising corners, rather than trying to learn 2BLD by trial and error.

Ugh, so frustrating, 20 times without a single success...
 
Very close miss on Mega bld. On both edges and corners I erred
the handling on the last slave-buffer piece and shot from wrong
buffer. So a 3-cycle edges and a 3-cycle corners off. 45:00 / 23:39.
 
My (approximately) 30th or 20th attemp (really, I've lost the count xD) on 2 cubes MBLD...
1/2 again... Forgot parity.
My best so far have been this one, and other that I mismemorized (I'm not sure if that word exists) 2 edges and they ended up flipped.
But I'm getting really close.

I think that I can do even 4/4, but I don't want to try until I get 2/2...

How much will it take??

Damn that was close!

Good luck with getting it in the future :)

Last year I planned to learn megaminx BLD but the execution is too insane for me. Memo is about as hard/much info as in 5BLD tough so that's not a problem but execution is totally impossible :D
 
from a while ago: 5BLD DNF - 7:36.41 [2:25]

from last night: 1:25:26.85 [55:00] megaminx BLD DNF
first time doing more than 2 targets, so memo took a while, execution wasn't as bad though. I think my memo was correct, but during execution I made a few mistakes because it was past midnight and I was tired. The result wasn't even close to solved, but there are a lot of solved edges and a few blocks one move away from being solved. I'll try it again later today, and I'll film as much execution as I can (my camera stops at 20 minutes).
 
First official 4BLD attempt, DNF but close, off by 2 centers (swapped two of the last targets) and 3 wings (forgot to execute the second to last pair). All the other BLD events disaster, a handful of DNFs

Next comp, please!
 
I've only ever attempted 3BLD twice. The first time I only had 4 edges out of place, and the second time my cube was a bit more messed up. I filmed the second DNF and I hope to catch my first successful 3BLD on video. Trying again tonight!
 
Another failure lol. I'm really new to BLD and I've only had 1 success. I keep getting close ones though.

I just had one where literally every edge was wrong except 1, and all the edges that were wrong had 1 face right (like one of the stickers matched the face it was on).

I'm getting there.

I know how you feel...I haven't had a successful 3BLD solve yet, but, like you, I'm getting close! (One day I'm going to be the next Maskow...)
 
1:50.09 success and PB

camera ran out of memory after 12s
