Blindsolving Failure Thread

Attended day2 of APJ BLD open yesterday and had to make up for all the blind events I missed from day1(I didn't go). Ended up doing 5BLD,3BLD,4BLD,8/17 multi and 3BLD finals back to back :| definitely the most exhausting experience in a comp for me. I should have gone with a 13 multi or something. 5BLD was DNF as expected :p Lone bright spot was my first official 4BLD success. Got the monkey off my back with a 4:27.76. But had a 3:39 where I forgot my favorite wing parity(buffer and adj wing flip) and the last solve where a pop appeared at 3:03 with 2 wing comms to go :( potential NR and AsR2 miss there. But oh well, this should make it easy for me to beat these with some practice next comp.

Ooooooh unlucky, gj time tho!

I still need to get my first 5bld successs. Ive had 2 attempts and my 2nd attempt was off by 2 xcentres lol. But my time was very bad (I think 52 minutes).
 
yet two other 5bld dnfs
DNF(18:58.37) Lw' B U2 R D R Fw2 F' Lw' Uw2 U' D B U Uw2 D2 Lw' D B' Rw' U Bw Lw R2 U2 L Dw2 D B' L' D B' Uw B' D2 L Lw2 B' D2 B Dw' Rw' Bw2 Uw2 U Fw D' Dw Rw' R' B2 D2 Bw' F2 D U' R' Lw D2 Fw
5. (DNF(20:12.38)) D R Dw Rw2 Uw L2 R F Fw2 Bw Rw' U' B2 R2 Lw' Rw' U Fw Uw2 Rw' Dw2 U2 Fw' L' Bw B2 F' Fw Dw D F' Uw2 L' R Dw2 D2 R' D' B2 Uw Bw2 Lw' Uw2 U' L Dw2 B' Uw2 Rw' U Dw2 Fw' R2 Rw D' Fw Rw F U' L

the 18 had a sub12 memo, the 20 a sub13 :D On the 20 I had a 40-50 sec pop aswell. It was off by 3 x-centers and 6 +-centers
 
I just can't get a success, no matter how safe I go... Sometimes all the centers are solved, sometimes all the rest...

DNF(21:38.49)[4x, 2+] Uw2 Rw' Dw2 Uw2 D2 R F2 Rw2 Fw2 Dw2 R U2 Fw2 B Rw2 U B U2 F2 B2 Lw2 Uw D' Fw2 D Rw2 Fw' L B2 Rw' Lw2 D' R D B' F2 Bw2 Dw Lw Dw2 F' Dw' Rw Bw Lw' F Uw' L2 Rw B2 F' R' Bw Lw Fw L2 Rw' R' F R

this was off by 2 +-centers and 4 x-centers and this was like superduper safe
 
1st MBLD attempt in ages: 5/12 in 56:07, DNFs were:
3x a 3 edge cycle
1x 2 twisted corners
1x 2 flipped edges
1x lol fail
1x forgot one entire edge memo.

This final result was quite horrible, but I really hope to improve soon, since the DNFs were not too bad, so 10/12 were possible in this attempt. I expected a little faster time tho (sub50)
 
I have a comp with big BLD in December, that means I need to get back to BLD

Wow, that last solve. It was off by R' U2 R (messed up the end of the wing parity alg) and 2 centers (missed a letter pair)

I better sub 3 at the comp lol
