idk if this is the right place to ask this, but with mbld, i have a bad habit of memorizing with sentences. Because of this, I haven't been able to get a success past 2/2, with a 2/3 with 2 twisted corners. I saw corey sakowski's video for mbld on cubing world, and i'm finding it very hard to switch to using images because I feel like i'm not making very vivid images. Did anyone have with problem, and any tips for helping my memo?

If you are already using sentences you should be able to translate them to images quite easily. It just takes some time and effort

The trick is to make weird/gross/sexual/violent/funny sentences and actually vividly imagine and actually VISUALIZE them happening in your memory locations. Also it is good to try to make the stuff that is happening interact with your location somehow. It will help you remember which image goes to which location in your loci

thanks for the feedback! I'll be attempting 3 cubes today (again), and I hope to get to 5 cubes before the end of winter break

First attempt with 23 cubes (I had a few attempts with 25 cubes but that was too much for me now).

It was a total success!! 23/23 @ 58:42

Awesome. Congratulations. Did it feel comfortable compared to your 25 cube attempts?

I had to hurry up a bit during memo of last 6 cubes but I knew I would be in time while executing last cubes so there was no huge added stress

Just did my first 12 cubes attempt. Failed miserably... 6/12 63 minutes. I'm sure i can do better than that. I was hoping at least 8 cubes were solved(((

Unlucky, but I did a 1/5 because I was trying to rush memo haha.

So after my 4/7 in like 40 minutes or whatever Kowalczyk told me to do at least 9 next time. I never thought of doing such a jump. So I did 10 Since I memo 3 at a time, 9 would have been weird. So I did: 9/10 1:21:25:09[1:08:04]. I'm super happy and I wasted lots of time during memorization. I just have to focus more!

Now the plan: Do it under an hour.

Nice one man! Sounds like you need to update your sig.
My next aim is 10/10 sub-hour.

25/34 in 1:39:22.23[57:09.81]

Oops! Although one was only off by an E-slice. I also forgot one.

I'll go back to trying for a nice sub-hour result.

I've done a 2x2 blindfolded multiple amounts of times. I've done corners and edges blindfolded on a 3x3, but I can't do both of them at once. I'm still workng on my memory a little bit. (edit): I can do 3x3 bld now. AO5 is 12.5 min

17/25 in 55:35.96, biggest attempt so far. First attempt in months

 

[JasonDL13]

5/10 1:06:31.58[46:44.79] xD One cube was off by a M2 and two flipped edges. Time is much better though.

I know that it's possible to sub 1 this if I don't have any pauses.

EDIT: I actually didn't forget anything. Everything was memo and execution mistakes.

The shipping takes forever but it's cheap.

I have 3 random speed cubes. 3 Guanlongs. And 4 Aolongs (My mother got it for christmas off of cubezz, however I bought a package from them and it never came so I don't buy there anymore.). I have a Guanlong on the way because my friend bought one off of me. And 1 random mini cube I'm not using ^^

Yesss!!! Just set a pb 8/8 42:03[30:05] Its been a while since i set my last pb which was 5/5, and that was my last 100% solve. Really happy about the result, ill be also solving 8 cubes on an upcoming competition, so its good that i solved 8/8 already

Gj man! I'll warn you I got 5/5 on 2 different occasions before my comp but officially I only got 3/5

 

[tseitsei]

todays attempt with 23 cubes was 22/23
Time was 59:39... Little too close to 1-hour but good enough

 

[Berd]

Well, i have 18 more minutes to memorize the cubes as good as possible, and there'll be 2 tries

Exactly. No silly mistakes please, I forgot to execute my last room = the corners on my last cube. That was only down to comp nerves.
