My PB of 12.314 has just been broken, replaced by a 10.453 o_O. This is so cool... Lots of skips, knew it would be a PB in inspection, and it boosted my TPS and lookahead so much :)

I’m so happy with this solve :)

I liked your gperm
 
I did a LOT of solving today (I think 1/5 of my overall solve times in Chaotimer were done today!), and I’m happy to say I am now sub 18 :). I rarely get 18s now, and pretty much never get above that, unless I mess up big time. The main reason for this was was probably just my lookahead has improved a lot through pure practising, no FMCing or working on specific steps. By the way I also did some of my splits, here they are:
2x2x2: 2.806
2x2x3: 4.244
EO: 1.160
F2L: 4.737
LL: 4.554
I think next week’s focus should be the 2x2x3, since everything else seems to be going really good, but here is not (it’s kind of meh). Anybody disagree?
Plus, yeah I know, I’ve been really lazy with ZBLL, but by the end of March, I PROMISE to have finished all the T ZBLLs, and have drilled them.
 
Is this a joke????

Lowered PB average, had an 11 with counting 14 :)
 
Yeah, my 2 gen TPS needs a bit of work, and also my LS recognition (I sometimes AUF to see what case it is before doing it). My main trouble with 2x2x3 is just not being able to find the pieces quickly enough, and before I know it (in 2 seconds) I have to start solving it. More lookahead practise and inspection use will help out with that.

If I were you (and I'm not, I'm very slow), I would try to watch possible expansion pieces while doing pre-planned 2x2x2 to try to find the best expansion.
 
Week 23, I shall hopefully be able to sub 4 expansion by the end of the week, because my 2x2x3 is like the MAJOR weak point in my solves. Once that is done, I will also work on LS recognition, since I am meh at that.
P.S. I am still learning ZBLL, just doing it a bit more relaxedly now.

Do you do the back or front slot first?
 
I switch in between, depending on easiness. Plus, don’t do CFOP style F2L, blockbuild a 2x3x1, then do last slot.
Edit: Meant 2x2x1
Random glitch: edits won't automatically show up, but quotes will show edits.

Thanks for the tip, but I don't get. You can't build it on the U layer, since inserting it would ruin EO. How else could you build it?
 
Scramble: R2 U’ R U2 R U’ R2 U2 R2 U R’
U2//Pair up
R’//Move pair out of way to insert edge
U’ R2 U2 R U2 R’// Insert last edge
Pair up the corner with any of it’s two edges that need to be solved, then insert that edge (basic way). More advanced solvers will pair up something at the same time they set up the last edge insert.
