Memo 1 piece per tick or something?
Nice solve too.

I did 2 pieces per tick, but i did really slow ticks. Thanks.

Seriously worried for a podium finish now at EO 2013 :/ Best improve my corners. Still using OP corners?

Heh, you're still a bit ahead of me and my accuracy hasn't been perfect in trying to speed up my memo. And I am using some BH and some OP now, for that solve I did one BH cycle for e.g..
 
I'm struggling with 3BLD memo, so any tips would be welcome :D

I just quickly create nonsense stories for edges (english and some spanish words) and then visual/audio for corners. I 1-pass it normally, which is kinda risky though. I just remember that 1-passing slowly is better than doing it fast then recalling it lots. Any tips for multi memos though?

You do the exact same thing as me, but corners get one syllable words/sounds instead. But I can't quite 1-pass it yet, unless the sentence is really vivid - forgetting is more frustrating than DNFing IMO.

As for multi, I make a sentence for edges and a shorter sentence for corners and place them along a journey like usual. If there are flipped edges or corners then I will place the images in whatever corner/area of the room needs flipping/twisting. The speed comes having a good system and not wasting time (so confidence in knowing exactly what you can memorize and how quickly is a good thing to know, although this does get better naturally with practice) i.e. memo 2 cubes, review, memo the next 2, review all 4, etc depending on how many cubes you need to do.

EDIT: yay

What... Do you just speedmemo for 2 or do you use journeys too?

Not sure, they were fairly easy scrambles. I think I placed the first cube in a room and memorized the 2nd as normal. Thinking about it now, I should probably place #1 edges #1 corners and #2 edges in rooms and do #2 corners at the end with audio.

Camera ran out of space on card half way through =(
 
Finally! 2/2 Multi in 12:54.xy

Took about 8 attempts to get 2/2 over the past 3 weeks or so.

The time is pretty slow compared to my 3BLD times, but I just wanted to get it right.
Don't have scrambles.
 
10:25 4BLD in comp...pretty sad time though, my hands were shaking throughout the solve...
Next 2 solves were DNF's (7:2x, off by a couple of centers and few wings), (8:3x, off by 2 centers, and i undid a setup move wrong by the looks of it)
 
I think I've fallen in love with SpeedBLD - 2nd successful attempt 16.85 CFOP [39:xx]

It's given me an excuse to learn full OLL (and F2L too) since tracing the last layer pieces during F2L and during OLL was painful to do and since this OLL was a gift - 4 solved edges :)

You can actually look at the cube and trace ALL the pieces BLIND? How does this work?

You memorize the moves as you go and trace individual pieces through the moves. It takes a lot longer than normal BLD for that reason, but it's apparently not all that bad with practice. I heard of someone doing a 4x4x4 speed BLD once o_0

Screwed Up VQ(UF-DB-FB) execution on the last one and knew that I messed everything up in the process, but I failed to undo whatever it was that I did.

I am proud of this because I am starting to practice Alot this year and I have never tried a large multi(in my terms).
On a side note, I need more loci.
 
Finally worked out how to memo quickly and comfortably for 3BLD, 4BLD and 5BLD. For example, 5BLD should hopefully be between 3:00-4:00 from now on.
