This scramble is just too lol. I got a 19.58 OH on this because terrible OLL and F perm.

This scramble is just too lol. I got a 19.58 OH on this because terrible OLL and F perm.

I tried this OH and got 18.13... could've been a high 17.9x, but I failed the timer stop first time. It could've been faster (maybe) using my OH main, but my ShuangRen was closer so I just used that

... I have no idea how you saw that XX in 15 seconds. Nice.

For the fourth pair, why didn't you do F' U' F U' R U R'? It's a lot shorter, and it solves the ZBLS for that case.

How are you doing on ZBLLs? Last I heard, you had a few Us, some more Pi's, and a bunch of Sunes. Are you done with U and Pi yet?

I finished the Us and just recently got started on my last two Pi sets. I tried learning to many in a short period of time, which frustrated me into stopping. I'm going to do about 1 or 2 a day and hope I can stay consistent.

Solve:
y' R' D2 L U L2 U' R2 // xxxcross
y' R U' R' U' R U2 R' U // messing up with last pair
R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' // last pair
U F U R U' R' F' // OLL
U' // PLL skip?

L B2 R2 D' F' D' F2 D2 R2 B' L2 B' L U' for the last pair gives an LL skip...

Got a 31 move 3x3 speedsolve this morning with 12 move F2L:

Scramble had a lot of blocks and I like blockbuilding so...

R2 D2 R2 U B2 D' U L2 U' B2 L2 B' D2 L' R U L F2 D' F L

y
x'
L' U' R2 L' x' D' = 2x2x2 in 5
x' R' U' F2 = 2x2x3 in 8
U = XXX-cross in 9
z' y2 R U R' = F2L in 12 (Yes, I know I'm a noob)
y f' L' U' L U f = OLL in 18
U2 y R2 u R' U R' U' R u' R2 F' U F = PLL in 31

It's worth noting that if you cancel the last move of the XXX-cross into the last pair, it could be an 11 move F2L

I ended up getting 8.60 on it, which is my second or third fastest solve ever.

Sorry, I wasn't clear... I meant the first block was very easy: y' L' D' L R2 y

Awesome! I'm excited for you to finish Pi. I was also wondering how much ZBLS you knew? Judging by your solves in the example thread, I assumed you knew full VHLS but not full ZBLS.

Very little ZBLS, like 5. I don't intend to learn it any time soon, maybe long term. After ZBLL, I'll be learning OLLCP and Tripod LL, as well as finding better ZBLL algorithms.
