FMC

Global: High 50s
PB single: 47
Goal: I don't really care about FMC but it would be nice to get better

OH
Method: CFOP
Global: 50? I don't really know
PB single: 36.xx
Goal: sub-45

Clock (main)
Method: Flip
Global: 9
PB single: 5.07
Goal: sub-8 with a better method

Megaminx
Method: basic CFOP kinda thing with really slow f2l thingy and like 70 look last layer
Global: 3:10
PB single: idk
Goal: sub 3 with a better method

Pyra
Method: LBL
Global: 9
PB single: 3 I think
Goal: get sub 9 with L4E

Skewb
Method: Sarah's intermediate
Global: 8
PB single: 2
Goal: get better

Squan
Method: beginners

PB single: 39
Goal: Learn a better method and get sub 30

MBLD
Method: Old Pochmann
Global: 3 points
PB single: 4/4 15 mins
Goal: get an official success and 7 points at home

What clock method should I learn? I want to learn a better method, but I don't think I should learn a memory based one, as I have tried before, and I got all DNF's and I'm not very good at blind, so idk. What's the best clock method?

I learned everything I know from that one qiyi booklet. Maybe you did too?
I used to use to always use the tutorial that came with my cube(which used to be always Qiyi), but don't anymore.

For Skewb, do you use U' R U R' for sledge or R' F R F'? I used to use the first one after learning from the Qiyi booklet, before swapping to the standard sledge.
 
I'm currently learning some intuitive F2L, and watching loads of videos, hopefully I'll become sub 20 on 3x3 soon
Great! I actually much preferred learning intuitive F2L from BrodytheCuber's flowchart, but what works for you. Just remember that your times will be slower for a while, but will improve a lot eventually(sure you've heard this)
 
Why is it not promising?
I global mid to high 9 on clock and after practicing this new method for about 150 solves that day, the best ao50 I got was 25. I have practiced that method a lot in the past week or so, and I'm currently averaging sub15, so I'm not really good enough with it to use it in comp, as I have a comp this Saturday. I don't know, maybe I'll get better than flip with this method soon.
 
Yayayayay Multiblind PB
3/3 23:31.06
I have a multiblind attempt on Saturday, Now I might do 3 cubes instead of two. I'm kinda scared I might go over limit tho, which is 10 mins per cube, and comp nerves exist. Does anyone have any tips on how to speed up memo? Also, problem is I only have 2 logoless cubes. How do you recommend I take the logo off, as it's printed on?
 
multiblind is hard 😭
Out of my 8 multiblind attempts today, I've gotten 4 successes.
3/3 23:31.06
1/2 DNF 13:xx.xx
2/2 14 mins
0/3 DNF 5 mins (my brain stopped working when I started memo for the 3rd cube so I just stopped)
2/3 22:10.13 I thought it was 3/3 but then I noticed two flipped edges on the bottom
2/2 8 mins Pretty good for a 2 cube attempt
1/2 DNF 9 mins
0/2 DNF I started memo of second cube and then I mixed up the first cube's memo and the second cube of the previous attempt as they were quite similar and then I noticed and I'm just like no I'm done with multiblind

Note to self don't do 8 multiblind attempts in one sitting

I'm really impresed that you were able to do that many attempts in 1 day, even when I was practicing multi, I was doing 1 attempt a day, and after that one, my brain was exhausted

I would recommend going for 3 at the comp, since your chance of a success for each cube won't go down much for a slightly bigger attempt like this. With 3, you don't need all of them to get a success.
For memo, I assume you use memory palace already? Even for small attempts, it helps.
To remove the logo you can use something called a magic eraser, it's available online and some speedcube stores also sell logo removers I think.
