Double xcross with a bad last layer, but super happy with it!

Flood of OH pbs cause I sprained my ankle and will be mostly house ridden for a week or two. All except single, and I got really close there too.
So I got really fast but also super inconsistent.
I have as many 15s as I have 17s (27), 14s as 19s (12), almost as many 13s as 20s (8-9), and sub13 as sup20 (8-6).
Yeah. Overall session mean of 160 solves was 16.93 and the average was 16.90.

Single: 10.68 - Maybe second sub 11 single?
Mo3: 13.49 - (16.04, 10.68, 13.76)
Ao5: 13.86 - ((10.68), 13.76, (18.17), 14.71, 13.11)
Ao12: 15.50 - (15.56, 12.39, 19.73, 15.91, (22.19), 15.13, 14.04, 14.86, 17.14, 18.06, 12.20, (11.88))
Ao50: 16.45 (σ = 1.74)
Ao100: 16.62 (σ = 1.92)

10: [1]
11: [1]
12: [---6---]
13: [----8----]
14: [------12------]
15: [--------------27-------------]
16: [---------------29--------------]
17: [--------------27-------------]
18: [-----------22------------]
19: [------12------]
20: [-----9----]
21: [-2-]
22: [-2-]
23: [0]
24: [-2-]

E: Also I finally got a sub 60 average of 12 in megaminx. That was awesome.

Cubing at my CUBEicle in Ohio, USA
first sub 30 solve after 1 1/2 month of cubing. nonlucky, no skipped steps, just fine block building at the start (meaning consistent but slow turning, no pauses & good lookahead).
I'm looking forward to my first sub 40 average :)

EDIT:
just accomplished a sub 40 avg :]
next goal: sub 40 avg of 100
i love it, every day i cube i keep getting better times. 1 or 2 seconds everyday :D

I'm was right around there 2 weeks ago. Now I'm at around 32 second averages of five and a 22 second PR with no PLL skip. Good Luck h3ndrik! :p

Ao50/ao100 PBs (14.181/14.331 → 13.982/14.269). Sub-15 global is totally within reach if I can just stop making a whole bunch of mistakes in a row and destroying my session averages.

I beat my longest standing PB, at just under 2 years: 3x3 average of 5. It's my first sub-10. Also, PB Mo3 at 9.21.

9.91, (10.52), 9.36, 9.25, (9.02) = 9.51. Had it locked after the fourth solve at 9.93 with a very timely sexysledge PLL skip, but the last solve was an immaculate fullstep beast to secure the smash.

My PB on the 2x2x2 is now down to 6.51. I am still using the beginner's method. Is that an OK time? My Ao3 is under 10. I still bumble solves with 30+ seconds though.
What exactly is beginners method? Describe yours.
Im sub 4 and i solve like a 3x3... tps ftw

Solve white face first, including correct permutations. Then OLL and PLL. Basically like you said, like a 3x3x3. My tps is as good as my lookahead. ;)

Which 2x2x2 do you use?
wEIpO
That is my method, but im color neutral. Its ez to do on a 2x2, and i recommend it to everyone.
For "my" method, you have to have wicked fast recognition as well as a fast tps. Of course, I can recognize some oll cases and immediately know what pll to use, executing without stopping. Similarly, i know for some olls that ill get a pll skip.

OH ao50/ao100: 23.302/24.076 → 23.083/23.273.

Pretty huge drop for the ao100 there; probably because my mistakes were concentrated among fewer solves, lol.
