This is for BLD, correct? Any good tips for corner/edge memo?

I don't think I'm that good, but I would say memorize corners first, then edges, and execute edges then corners, and for corners try to make a story with images, like imagine that the event is happening in your house, and for edges just take the pair and add vowel in between If needed to make easy sound and to remember that sequence of audio, use letter pairs of 2 for every single time cause especially for M2 is needed for some pieces, and also try to when you got the memo for corners to say it again in your mind without looking, and if you remembered then go to edges, and also for edges when you finish try to say it without looking (for me it also helps to visualise where the edge is during execution, but that is just probably me), then start the solve.
 
And also Multi-BLD is cruel, I tried 3 cubes and did 0/3, one cube was one pair of corners away and the others where completa messed up

Should I try for Multi-BLD 2 cubes until I'm comfortable or should I go to 3 cubes, and when I can do 3 go to 4 cubes and so on?
Click to expand...
Whatever you want, honestly. If you're going for a good attempt, you're probably better off doing some more 2 cube attempts. If you're going for faster improvement, it might be a good idea doing some attempts with more cubes than you are comfortable with within the time limit.
