Yeah the past couple of BLD races I've done have led to me being the only person to really pursue BLD and winning
Yea, I wonder who would do thatYeah the past couple of BLD races I've done have led to me being the only person to really pursue BLD and winning
Congrats on the huge PB and for winning the race! As for me, I haven’t done a MBLD attempt since my last comp a month ago, but hopefully I’ll reach this milestone soonI got my first 10 pointer today, it was great racing you @yes cubing and @BVCuber13 !
12/12 51:01 MBLD PB single! This is a huge jump from my 8/10 previous PB, and it's great to finally have a good PB in this event. This is actually my first N/N result since my first success, which was a 2/2
I structured this attempt with three packs of four, using a variation of a memory palace system which I personally prefer to the standard system. With this system, I assign each cube a different room or place(such as my bedroom, or a classroom, it's not hard to think of 12 places) and fit all of my memo from that cube(one image for edges, one for corners) into that one room without splitting the room into locations. I like this better as there are less images to remember, I end up assigning more meaning to the memo(which I find easier to remember) and the images feel less claustrophobic as they can take up the entire room instead of a small location such as a shelf.
This attempt was very smooth, and I made good time despite it still essentially being a safety as there was very little chance of me hitting the 1 hour limit.
My reviews-
Memo means memoed for the first time, and review that cube a couple of times.
Review means mentally review cubes, and check the cube if I need to.

For edge flips and corner twists, I memoed with letter pairs, but backed them up visually which I found to be the best system after previously memoing only visually.
Yay! Yall doing this good makes me wanna un-quit multiblind.View attachment 37741
It’s not a 10 pointer, but it’s a PB! 8/8 46:59, super happy to have skipped 7 points completely
@bldcuber314 @yes cubing
You should!
18/30 isn't bad, especially considering you were probably practicing BLD for almost an hour. Good luck with your progression!
Don't worry, I was also averaging sub 2 minutes last year, but when I started practicing BLD again, I was more like 3-4, then I started the 4bld grind and quickly, without even trying, got sub 2 at 3bld
Yeah practicing any BLD event really helps with general BLD improvement. When I started grinding big BLD, I also improved in 3BLD and my max MBLD cubes sub hour went from like 15 to 23 with no MBLD practice(and now 25 with some MBLD practice)
Do you feel like you could go for a 10-11 cube attempt next?
the 8 cubes was kinda a jokey joke, my brain is fried after it, i keep finding myself repeating my memo in my head (is this normal
)
