Hey Guys! I'm new to multi blind, so I want to know what are the "benchmarks" in this event. For example, in 3x3, we have sub-20 is where people start to become serious, sub-10 is awesome (perhaps you disagree) etc. So far I've completed 2 successful 2 cube attempts (at home), with maybe 7 mins memo in total, and 1 min exec per cube. My first attempt was done by sentence for cube 2 (first to memo), and regular memo for cube 1 (last to memo). I hear that many people memorise their last cube as a regular memo.
My second attempt used an on the spot loci, with no such experience before. I have to say it worked wonders, and I can still recall my loci memo from a few hours ago. Anyway, I'd like some advice as to what I should be aiming for. I am going to be buying some more cubes for multi blind practise. How many would you guys recommend starting off with? Obviously I will work up to larger numbers, but I want to know roughly where I'll end up. In case it matters, my 3BLD is roughly 2:20 with 50-60s exec using OP/M2, but I know I can improve memo a lot. I memo 3BLD as corners > edges, and exec edges > corners.
Thanks, and I look forward to being a part of the multi blind community.

Welcome! I'd say you can easily get up to 10 cubes, but you should learn advanced M2 as it's very easy!

Ah yes I've been trying some advanced M2 out, and also 3 style corners. Though I've only ever been brave enough to try it in a solve once.

I tested the multi blind waters with a 4 cube attempt. Didn't time it, but roughly 35 mins in total, and got 3/4. Perfect memo and recall, but during the second cube at the end of a corner target I slipped and became confused. I even tried it later and I know exactly what went wrong. I guess that's a lesson in not hesitating during BLD solves. I'm really surprised at how condense memo becomes when you group them as images and put them in locations!

9/10 in 45:18.26 [33:45], forgot the entire corner memo on the 5th cube bleh....still PB by 2 points and I am not happy about it because it could have been easily 10/10 
next attempt: probably next weekend XD

MBLD PB 15/16 47:43[31] , my second attempt at 16 cubes
3cycle on edges at 12th cube, no idea where it came from
I'm happy about the result
Under 3 minutes per cube so in next attempt I'll try 20

Thanks guys, it's always a great motivation to see your comments.
And in mbld a lot of motivation is needed
Are you going to try more cubes Matej?

Yes, surely some day
I would like to get to 10+ one day. I am practicing 5 now to become more consistent and faster .I think 10+ is almost impossible with my unperfect system yet... Every attempt I discover new letter pairs and have to think of new images, and that's what is slowing me down.

Having a good memory system is for me the most important thing
I don't use letter pairs, instead I just named every single situation
For example, from UB I have 20 colors, from UL I have 20 characters from video games, from LD I have items ...
I practise it by spelling every single word as fast as I can, and from time to time I'm updating the system if I think that some images aren't good enough.
Characteristical images = better memo

Did a multi after a long time and managed a 12/16 in 43:12[30:03]. Satisfied considering my long break and that the DNFs were 3 cycle of edgesx1 and 3 cycle of cornersx3. Next time, I will probably take memo a tad slower. Recall felt good still, but I floundered on the 3BLD cube. And any good image for XV?? :confused:
