Went slow and relaxed. Pretty happy with the 100% accuracy.

Something that's helped me is solidifying my letter pairs so that I can pair any two together and immediately know what I associate with them, rather than having to stop and think. In terms of remembering, try to go for more vivid/ridiculous images or stories, as they tend to stick better than more generic ones.

Wow! 2/2 in 13:04. I had never broken 19:00 for two cubes.

I honestly don't know how I got all of them, my PB before this was 11/12 in 58 mins...

After a massive 5BLD DNF tonight, wanted to relax a bit with a 5 cubes multi
Execution / cube - 41s
Execution / cube - 37s
Looks promising once I can translate this to 5BLD
Next goals for 5 cubes are 8 min overall, with a sub40 on the 3BLD cube and sub30 average execution time per cube. I'll switch on my cam next time!
----
Up to now I'm using one room per cube / one cube in one room. I just got 16 cubes so I therefore have chosen 15 rooms that I use for my MBLD practice. (Got some others for 4 and 5BLD but completely separated)
Should I try to put 2 cubes per room for my bigger attempts?
Or stick to 1 cube / room and keep increasing the number of rooms in the future?
- First attempt 4/5 in 11:33.56[8:05.63], one edges 3-cycle away from solved on the 4th cube, most likely a wrongly executed edge comm, backwards. Very slow memo but was just out of my 5BLD and needed some accuracy and focus concerning my locations.
Execution / cube - 41s
- Second attempt 5/5 in 9:16.76[6:07.98]. Slightly better execution, despite some pause (IMO 15") on the firstly memoed and last solved cube, but overall much better memo!

Me and Maskow use 1 room for edges + 1 for corners, so 2 rooms per cube. I would recommend it but it's individual approachAfter a massive 5BLD DNF tonight, wanted to relax a bit with a 5 cubes multi

You're not that slow, how many cubes you think you could do in an hour?

That would put you 3rd in the UK! Your improvement is crazy.

Wow thanks for your feedback ! That's crazy, I had never thought of multiple rooms per cube.
I have tried 16 cubes several times (best at 14/16 so far) in about 50 min roughly. So some more are feasible within the remaining 10 min. With my current pace probably 19 or 20, I guess?
Btw I don't put all my energy on multi at the moment so I'm not improving that much right now, that's also why I go on smaller attempts.

You're welcome
Hmm so how do you put cube into single location? Do you make one long story containing both edges and corners or somehow put 2 stories into 1 room? For me it was obvious and other options didn't make sense.
If you like to do multi and feel motivated just get a lot of cubes and give it a try, small attempts don't really give you anything at this level. But it depends if you want it and if you have the time, I have never trained other events than multi since I've learned it (don't even know fridrich haha) so I won't be telling you what to do

I've just started doing MBLD properly and I have a couple of locations per room so I might put edges on a table and corners on a piano. I've been reading about people who memorise huge amounts of information such as whole books who have dozens of locations per room. They'll have 8 corners, 12 lines between corners, 4 walls plus ceiling and floor and then they start on doors, windows and furniture.

Going to 20+ and 30+ in MBLD seems to be a big hurdle even bigger than getting sub-10 in 3x3

There are more people with sub 6 singles than 20 points in MBLD.

Well I usually have 2 locations per room. I create an image for corners in one location, and a second image for edges in the other location; sometimes I need two images to memo all the necessary information (in case of many cycles for edges usually), so either I use a third location or I just create an image corresponding to the path between the room and the next one.
Right now I'm more motivated by 3BLD and 5BLD than multi, but yeah in a couple of weeks after my next 2 comps I'll buy some more cheap cubes to keep working on multi. 20 points in an hour means 3 min / cube so that's pretty achievable for me, obviously the real challenge is a stronger memo
BTW I don't have anything good for my letter pair KM so it's gonna be you from now on
Thanks for the post newtonbase, I use more or less the same system than you. And yeah that was exactly my point (way more extreme though), I was wondering if any serious multiBLD guy (not like me
) was using this kind of strategy.

Just bought 10 qiyi Warriro Ws for multi.
I want to try a 17 cube attempt when they get here, even if it takes 3 hours. Trouble is, I don't have enough rooms for that many cubes at this moment.
I'm considering building Minecraft worlds and using those as locations. But as I'm a perfectionist, it would take a really long time to get them right.
