Hmm that is something to try, yeahh 4 cubes sounds good, i review every 3..when you review do you retrace over each cube? Or just sit there and recall it?

I usually only retrace when I can't remember my memo quickly, or when something about it seems wrong (like shooting to the same edge three times or something like that). Sometimes I do a "spot check" while reviewing and just check a couple cubes randomly. But otherwise, I just sit there with my index finger on top of the cube I'm currently reviewing and recall its memo.

This is the way to do it. It is waste of time to retrace all cubes while reviewing. You should only retrace if you dont remember your memo or if you notice that your memo is obviously wrong...

Yay!

3/3 MBLD, time approx. 10 minutes

First 3/3, 3rd 3 cubes attempt.

I said: "When I get 3/3 I'll start practicing 4BLD". There I go!

Very nice! 4bld isn't too daunting really! You'll do great!

17/21 in 1h19m.

My analysis:

Spoiler

Memo went pretty well. I reviewed only once every block of four, but I spent a lot of time on the review of the first 16. I finished the first 16 at 37m, and I could definitely sub-hour 17 with that memo time.

I had big recall issues when executing the first pack of four cubes (which I memorized 17-20), probably because I just made new memo locations to do more than 17 cubes. I forgot the corners of two of them completely.

The other mistakes were 3 edges and 3 corners. The worst part was I remembered the corners that I forgot the second I took off the blindfold and looked at the first corner target of each one.

I think I can cut off time best by making my memo stick more, so I can refresh and recall faster.

My goal is to get a result at home better than NAR, so 21/21 in <56:53. Hopefully I'll continue to improve quickly!

I've just solved 13/13 in 49:23, and it's my new PB
I know that it's slow but at this point I don't care about speed at all. Memo was around 31 minutes, which is ok for me but 1:25 execution per cube is very slow (my average 3bld is about 1:25). Now I have buy more cubes and practice faster solving btw it was my first mbld attempt after 2 weeks

 

[verdito]

Great job man! It's also great you're improving..you could probably shoot up the number of cubes soon no? your time per cube seems really good for your 3/3's so take a little longer when doing maybe 5 cubes..But anyway good job

thanks man! i only have 4 3x3 lol, but i have rooms for up to 7 cubes by now, and a great idea for putting a lot more

Yay!

congrats man! go on with 4BLD and get that crappy NR lol

my update: 3/4 in 12:45.00[7:19.59], good recall, but messed up 2nd edge comm in the 2nd cube and just got frustated and scrambled it lol, maybe try 4 cubes again later

Motivated by some people posting in this thread, I started taking multi seriously again
I did 4 cube attempt today and hoped to do all 4... however, the memo went pretty badly (I can get stuck on one letter pair for minute or more if it sucks)... Memo didn't stuck well and I recalled almost nothing during first review... I started memorising my normal 3BLD cube on around 31:00
anyway, final result is 2/4 in 39:55... pretty close success
Planning to do some 3BLD practice now, even if I don't care about it, to make my memo and accuracy better.... In future, I would like to do 4, maybe 5 cubes without review, so I hope that is possible for me

Good luck! Will keep my fingers crossed for you stack your solved cubes carefully haha

DNFs:
one parity to much (thought I haven't done parity, so I did it once again)
one 5 edges off
mess

Ty, MBLD was awful, got 6/13. I still remembered the last attempts memo!

That sucks... Was checking on cubecomps... You'll do better on UK Champs
What were the mistakes?

 

[the super cuber]

Ty, MBLD was awful, got 6/13. I still remembered the last attempts memo!

i got a similar result at my first comp in which i attempted over 2 cubes, i attempted 12 and got 6/12 twice

8/9 in 29:54. 4 corners 4 edges.

I took a break for a few days, but now I'm back!
