Worst feeling ever while solving?

[Absolome]

never happend to mine (yet)

but im guessing that when doing the twist on your magic and realizing your time is gunna be kickass and then it snaps

and your magic goes limp

This wasn't too bad, but I had an official OH solve where 6-7 pieces exploded. 2 pieces fell on the floor and I had to fix it with one hand XD. Luckily when I fixed it, it had no parity (it popped during the second f2l pair, so I just put the cubies in randomly), but if I didn't mess up, my average would have been a bit better .

The worst is when you finish F2L and cant recognize the OLL cause one of the edges in ur F2L has been slotted backwards

 

[Asheboy]

While you make the last turn on your new record and the entire U layer explodes?

Was about to break my megaminx record when that happened.

Midway into the solve you need to sneeze.

 

[KevinK]

When you do BLD and forget to fix parity.
When you realize during execution that you messed up memo.
When people "time" you by counting and count way faster than seconds but swear that it was seconds.

Once, I had a friend at my house and I was doing 3x3 BLD and forgot to fix parity. Luckily, I was able to successfully switch edges and solve it. When I realize that I messed up on memo, I've usually had to start over my memo many times. I hate it when people time by counting because they tend to get messed up by watching the fast turning. They then tell people around school that you can solve it in an extra ten seconds than what your average is.

When you get up to OLL on 4x4 at 45 seconds and find out you have OLL parity, and PLL parity when you reach PLL. You still nearly get sub-1 though.

 

[Thompson]

You mess up a really easy F2L.
You then do the wrong OLL case.
Then your U layer explodes during PLL.

Orrr...

When you relize you forgot to start the timer during an official solve and one of your favourite cubers is judging you.

eek! did that actually happen?

I was judging one of Tyson's solves and he screamed after almost dropping his cube. My heart skipped a few beats and it was a DNF after the cube did a few x and z rotations in midair. Same competition, Jim DNFed a solve by a few setup moves. It was literally 3 moves off, but he did like 30 other setup moves, a cycle of some sort, stopped the timer. No one has ever completed a BLD solve successfully with me judging them.

this just happened to me! I was doing an average of 5 on cubemania and had one super easy scramble. 8 seconds in I had an oll skip and my favourite pll (and it already AUF'd correctly) but then the page suddenly refreshes right before I finished the pll I was sure that would have been my first sub-10

"when you have the easiest f2l, but you screw it up, and you have a sune but you do an antisune, then you have a edge cycle but you do a corner cycle instead, and you just screwed up you entire solve"

Ive saw the video of that lol
That onw guy idk his name, but his explination was pretty funny.




Another onw for me would be when I dont orient the edges right. Then I think I finish a good solve then it ends up being a DNF.

Worst feelings while cubing:
You're jamming out to music with headphones and cubing, about to get a sub-20 solve and someone takes out your earbud and screams in your ear.
Timer not starting, really easy solve.
Mid-way on a really good solve, so your girlfriend comes up and kisses you to be cute. It's good and bad.
Mid-way through your soon to be PB average, well in class, and then your teacher takes away your cube.
Screwing up easy, easy cross solve cause you're excited it's so easy.
You're doing a PLL and half-way through you forget the PLL and you screw up your solve and your time then sucks.
Getting an important phone call right as you start an easy solve.

 

[Kian]

Getting stabbed while cubing has gotta be a pretty bad feeling.

 

[Faz]

Stackmat not starting
Lockups on Matt's crappy ES 4x4
Doing slow plls (well, I do that anyway)
Popping on OLL after sub 5 F2L - Yes this did happen to me I was soo fast back then
v5 strange lockups.

For me... the worst feeling was doing a flawless solve until I did the wrong PLL and still got close to my PB

 

[d4m4s74]

yesterday I had an incredibly easy oll and a pll skip

on a keychain cube, in the back of a car, without timer

 

[Yes We Can!]

when the spacebar didn't work, when i started to solve my rubik's cube, then i think: 'yeah, that will be sub 1 min', and then i press my spacbar again, and what am i seeing? the countdown of inspection xD

 

[whauk]

i always hate it if there is no corner in the U layer while solving F2L. you always have to look with a "x" which color is on the bottom.
