Considering learning method neutrality between FreeFOP and ZZ. Gave my 3x3 a random FreeFOP solve. Results:
Time: 17.47 (~5 seconds under global average)
Scramble: U F' R2 B D' L U2 B' U2 R2 F2 L2 D' R2 D' R2 B2 U2 D B
Solve: Meh, I'll post the alg.cubing.net thingy
PB Ao12 with ZZ (Also first Ao12 in about 3 or 4 months lol been taking a break)

Got a Skewb Xtreme. Never read a tutorial. 4th time solving it ever was sub-18 seconds. lolwtf I thought this puzzle would actually be hard (took about 1:30 to solve it for the first time ever).
How many "accomplishments" have I had today?! PB OH average:

Planning within the next couple of hours to attempt a ZZ solve...blindfolded. Yes, 1-looking a ZZ solve. I will record everything on camera and will upload the result to my youtube channel. Win or fail, this will be interesting. Plans:

I personally will say the Varasano-Ortega method, or VO. Both Varasano and Ortega contributed toward the creation and popularization of the side, OLL, PBL method.
So I saw the "Favorite PLL" thread and thought I'd create one for ELL (for those who know it). I don't have a fancy poll or anything, but what are you guys' favorite ELLs? If possible, please post the alg corresponding with that case (there are a lot of adjacent flip + u perms).
