New 3x3 PB - 8.72! Totally out of the blue. I wasn't expecting a PB by nearly a second this soon after getting back into cubing.

I'll try a reconstruction:

Scramble: D R2 D' R2 D R2 F2 U' L2 D B2 F' D2 B' F2 L U2 L B R2

x2 y' //Orientation
R D2 R2 D R' //Cross
U' L' U L //1st Pair
U2 R U' R' L U' L' //2nd Pair
U2 R' U R //3rd Pair
y' R' U' R //4th Pair
R U2 R2' U' R2 U' R2' U2 R //OLL
U R' U2 R U2 R' F R U R' U' R' F' R2 //PLL

welcome back! ^^

the good old days *sniffle* and ty :D

Good old days? C'mon! I wish I was now OH at my current 2H PB (and also much better at 2H of course), but nope. I'm stuck at around 20 2H and still not even sub-minute OH.

So you use ZZ for OH? I thought you also used Roux, but with so many M-slices... do you know of anybody that uses Roux for OH? And, if so, how do they manage the M-slices? I still have to learn the 2gen alg for H-perm so I use the M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2 alg with "table abuse" but I'm so pathetically slow at it that I cannot even think of using Roux for OH.


Then get off the forum and study!!! :)

This is the first time I've ever timed my PLLs, so I'm pretty happy with this. I know I could have done better on a lot of them (Rb & H), but it's fine. Kinda wish the sum of singles was sub 20, but oh well. On the bright side, I did way better than expected for Z, V, E, and the As. I've never done a time attack, but I'm pretty sure I could get sub minute ;)

Not 3x3 PB Ao5 (only 3rd best) but I think this is my 1st counting sub-15 in an Ao5 so...

Generated By csTimer on 2015-5-29
avg of 5: 17.62

Time List:
1. 17.07 L2 B2 L2 U2 B2 F2 U' F2 R2 D2 U' F' D' L B' U L' F' R
2. 14.78[PLL skip] F2 L2 U' L2 D2 U' B2 L2 B2 L2 D' R D L' F R2 B U L' U2
3. (25.09) U' R2 D B2 U' F2 U L2 D2 L2 B2 L' B2 F L' U' B D U B' R2
4. 21.01 D2 R D2 U2 L B2 L' F2 U2 R' F' U' B2 L2 R D L U' R2 D
5. (14.67) F' U F' R' F2 R2 B' L U D2 F B' U2 D2 B' R2 D2 F R2

A bit lucky with the PLL skip but the other 14.xx was a full-step and it could easily have been sub-14 (and new full-step PB), as I was a bit sloppy on LL.
Also, it would have been by far my PB Ao5 and most probably my 1st sub-17 if it wasn't because of the stupid 25 and 21 in the middle. If just one of them had been a very "normal" (for me) low 19 or high 18...

Oh, I almost forget, I said back then when I tried it that I hated the Yuxin. Well, this Ao5 was done with it and I don't hate it any more. I didn't try it again because of Collin Burns' WR, I did it just because I kept watching good reviews and decided to give it a 2nd chance. I am less consistent with it than with my beloved Chilong but, who knows, with some adaptation in my turning style it could be my new main :) I don't even have my custom sticker shades on it yet, which will surely help a bit with recongnition and lookahead.
