Lol got a 13.5

I'll be doing an AO50 to try to get some scrambles, but I got a 10.89 on that one. Doesn't count as PB because its not my scramble. It might've been easier for me because I'm color neutral.

Edit: Found a different way to do it and got an 8.14

Yeah, I don't get how people could not be color neutral on that scramble. It's like a 5-move XXcross xD and 17-move F2L the way I did it.
 
8.04, there was EPLL :P

and on the topic of colour neutrality, check out this solve i just did
http://tinyurl.com/lpysnvl

haha. As a rule, I never change colors once I start the solve, it's just faster for me to finish what I've started than calculate which color would be more efficient once the solve has begun. I would have used that pre-existing pair to build an xcross like this:

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

x' B2 U L2 y' R U' R' F U2 y R // Xcross
U R U' R' U' R // 2nd pair
U' L' U' L U y L U' L' // 3rd pair
U2 L' U' L U' //4th pair
L F' L2 U' L U F // VHLS
y2 R' U' R F R2 D' R U R' D R2 U' F' //COLL and EPLL skip

watch here: 48 htm

didn't time myself, but I did it like a normal speedsolve (didn't really think about my moves past what I could plan in inspection.)

that's the first time i've done it haha, just because i somehow noticed right away the 3 move 2nd pair, so the situation i faced was completed cross vs. almost xxcross. i got 12.99 which is above average, but not like i expected it to be good anyway :P the triple cube rotation after the cross was what was necessary for me to see all the things i saw and switch colour. 10 move xxcross not bad during a speed solve?

and wow that solve you did was way better cause of the EPLL skip.

One of my best times ever. F2L was pretty good, but not amazing. The solve wasn't anything special aside from the last layer skip; too bad I couldn't have saved it for a solve that was actually fast.

I meant someone who is color neutral has an advantage as far as recognition. The XX cross was on blue, since most people solve on white every time, it might be harder to track the blue pieces, and have a green last layer.

I don't even get that. How is it harder to watch blue pieces compared to white ones? Maybe it's because I've always been color neutral, I just don't get how it's faster to solve on only one color.
