Blindsolving Failure Thread

[Berd]

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

Very good for a first attempt!

4BLD
DNF(3:25.66)
off by 3 centers and 4 wings

hoping to get sub 4 soon or even sub 3

 

[achyut1]

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

Woah!!!,The timing
is really good for
the perspective for intermediate...Can you tell how much had you practiced inorder to achieve such awesomeness..HOW MANY YEARS OR MONTHS DID IT TAKE?

And also,which method do you use in 3BLD? Can you also provide me the reference of the tutorial giving site also..Any help will be highly appreciated!.thanks.

All fast people use 3style/commutators for BLD.

Best tutorial IMO:

I learned BLD about a year ago. But I didn't practice much so when I went to my first comp in January I was averaging ~3 minutes.
I switched to 3style like 3 months ago and then I got my first sub 50, sub 40, and sub 30

How long do you think I should stick with the M2/OP method before switching to the 3 Styles method in order to get fast effieciently?

missed an official 1:11 3bld mean because of 2 flipped edges on the back. First I was really happy because I didn't see those 2 pieces on the back and then the judge showed me the DNF, Save solves only. fml

would have lowered my sum of ranks another 100 ranks. Oh well, there's always a next time

Just DNFed what would have been my second ever 5BLD success because I forgot to do an F2 during my old pochmann for corners. I do corners last so after I DNFed I actually undid the last few corners, did the F2, and then did the rest of the corners again and it was solved. I feel like such an idiot lol
My first and only success so far was 45 minutes long, and if I had remembered that damn F2 I would have had a 22 minute success, cutting my PB in half -_-

 

[CyanSandwich]

Missed a 48.xx ao12 by a few pieces or something. PB is 56.97 atm.

 

[Daniel Lin]

27.17 3BLD DNF
would have been PB

rotated to do a Uperm (outside of the buffer) and rotated back wrong

 

[fp4316]

23.83 DNF because I didn't see BD was flipped, and a 24.00 DNF because I mixed AQ and AC in recall. Would've been my first sub NARs.
