LL Skip at a comp?

[turtwig]

Have any of you gotten an LL skip at a comp?

Since there are 45000 people who have done at least 1 solve at a comp, there have almost definitely been LL skips.

This Haixin Wang one-handed solve was a recent example:

Sajwo's 6.8

 

[Przemek Kaleta]

Sajwo's 6.8

Plus Jakub Wojtaszewski's 6.81 and Wojciech Knott's 6.64 (they had exactly the same solution )

I had one in OH at world's. I +2d.

I had one in OH at world's. I +2d.

ouch, 2013 worlds? what was the time?

 

[XTowncuber]

yep 2013. It was only like an 11 without the +2. I wish I could say I've gotten much better since then, but yeah no.

Piotr Alexandrowicz's 11.19 OH WR was also LL skip. Felik's 9.03 was forced OLL skip(WV) and PLL skip. It's not that rare in OH

I've had 3 at least for nxn puzzles bigger than 2x2, but they were all forced OLL skips into PLL skips so it's not as cool as it sounds

The first one was at my first competition on a 5x5 solve. I thought I had M' U R2 U' r' F R' F' as my OLS case, but I didn't because ss sticker shades suck. I then proceeded to do triple sledge to solve the OLS, and then got a PLL skip.

The next one was at my second competition on 3x3. I got either U R U' M' U R' U' M or the mirror as my last pair in a solve, and I could even see it was going to LL skip! I then proceeded to drop the cube and waste 2 seconds, resulting in a 12.0x instead of a low 10, which would have been amazing for me at the time since I averaged like high 14

The last one was at Aus nats 2015, on my last solve of the comp. VLS case was R2' D' r U' r' D R2 :3

There was plenty of them

I've had two. One in 3x3 at my very first comp (was a 24.xx when I averaged sup 30) and one in 4x4 this weekend. But I guess it's a little less special for a ZZ user.

The 8.55 OH WR was the best LL skip In my opinion.

It was 8.27.

 

[tseitsei]

My friend (https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2012RAUT01) got one in our last comp for OH

26.00 19.67 31.56 16.07 29.57

Also the 19.67 in the same avg5 was an OLL skip

Mattias Claesson's 8.53 & Thomas Schmidt's 7.78 were also LL-skips (maybe even his 7.63 also?).

I somehow can't believe that the 7.78 was legit, he was averaging about 17 back then, even though it was a LL skip :/

It was legit, but I remember being told that he got lucky during the whole solve - I don't recall if it was a LL skip.

Someone mentioned that it was sexysledge PLL skip with an easy xxcross.

 

[AlexMaass]

one time during a solve it was bad f2l, so i just skipped LL and dnfed /s

Thought you meant official but then I checked your WCA results
