Blindsolving Failure Thread

[Keroma12]

Got an official 15/16 multi in 53:xy, off by two twisted corners.
NR is 16 points in 58:xy.

First blindfolded solve in like a year! Somewheres around 8 minutes, I clicked reset before I saw at the entire number. Also, it was first time using M2/OP instead of OP/OP, I switched to a slightly different letter scheme, it was my first time memorizing corners then edges, then excecuting edges then corners, and using an image for corners and sounds for edges (like in noah's video. It really works!)

anyway, I'm going to take BLD much more seriously this time around, and won't be settling for 5 minute times.

 

[Octopanda]

I use OP/OP and I average 5 minutes with 3BLD, My solves are pretty accurate and I don't get many DNFs, would you say that I'm ready for M2 or should I get faster times before I incorporate M2?

You're ready for M2, don't waste any more practice time on OP edges.

Failed tonight a very promising PB ao12 (previous is 48 or 49.x from late 2016) due to consecutive 2 flips on the last 2 solves of my session.

But several great ao5's, including PB mo3 and ao5 this evening, I'm sooooo pleased apart from that ao12!

 

[YouCubing]

really weird thing just happened in 4BLD
I was doing exec, and I got to the end of wings, and then I realized that because of the number of solved pieces and the number of cycle breaks I had, I must have missed a cycle break
so I went through my wings and found 2 that I hadn't solved and did a cycle on them and continued as usual
DNF by 4 corners, which means I was successful in finding the missing cycle but failed to remember corners lmao

Wow, Nice job!

Blind is one of my best events. I competed in it on February 11 and DNFed. I could've easily won because I'm almost sub 1 at 3BLD and Brandon Lin won with a time of 1:10. RIP ME

 

[Elo13]

A classmate challenged me to try feet bld.
DNF... by two corner twists

Impressive.

 

[kake123]

Some really meh official results today:
3BLD: 1:08 single, broke my no dnf streak
DNFed was a 53

4BLD: 7min, because kept forgetting midges and had to go slower for the last attempt

MBLD: 3/20 and starting another attempt 45min later 15/18

Mildly depressing

I have no idea how you can do big attempts so close together. Do you use the same rooms?

Yes, I use the same rooms. and i'm mildly surprised by 3/20 and 15/18 respectively (lost my NR tho )

Weird fact: all my last official bld solves were my best times and determined whether I podium or not. :confused:

Does it not get confusing using roomd again so quickly? I know there's a lot of people who don't practice in the days leading up to a competition.

Well I practice quite often, and I memoed more thoroughly on the 2nd attempt.

If you messed up an edge comm but the cube was still solved, you must not have messed up the edge comm lol
