Just absolutely smashed my previous OH PB(11.17) with a 8.22!! This also beat my 2H PB(8.27)

26 STM/8.22=3.16 tps

AFAIK this is the first sub 9 OH solve in Africa!

I didn't know you could be sub-10 with corners first. (except Roux)

What is this method? It looks kind of like PCMS
 
Just got my first ever sub 10 second solve while competing in Mike Hughey's weekly competition!!!

It was a 9.84, full step i think or I got a pll skip. I will try to do reconstruction if I can below!

Scramble: B' R2 L B2 L D' B U' R L2 F B L2 U2 F L2 D2 B

Inspection: I am not good at typing this out with x y and z moves. Just do white bottom green front

X-Cross: F2 U' R' F' L U' L' B L y' (red side front) L' U L D'

Pair1: U' R U2 R' U R U' R'
Pair2: y (green front) U R U R' U' d' R U R'
Pair3: L' U L U L' U' L U2 L' U' L

OLL: f R U R' U' f' >> U' R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R

PLL: U' R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R' U

That is the third personal record I have broken since coming back to cubing. SO happy to be back!!

EDIT: This session also beat my personal best avg5 but it wasn't as crazy of a difference. Old avg5 was 13.87 and this one was 13.83 lol
 
Not speed related but I got my Axis cube solved finally. I did it intuitively, last layer was an absolute pain and I don’t think I’ll be scrambling this one anytime soon...most certainty The most difficult 3x3 shape mod I’ve tried.

Estimated time is 6-8hours over the last 4.5 weeks. I could hardly play with it for longer than 15mins at first it was so frustrating and hard to even get the layers aligned properly. Success!

ETA: I was misidentifying the centers for a few weeks haha. I didn’t clearly understand that there were multiple shapes of both corners and edges. Once that was figured it F2L went smoothly but getting orientation fixed in LL was brutal. I digress...

A nice and round 444 PB single. Pretty much skipped half-centres, had nice F2L pairs, 9-move COLL then opposite parity.

edit: Also, ao100 46.317 → 46.018, ao200 47.243 → 47.148. Seems like every time I mess around with my Wuque's setup I get new PBs (removed the stacked magnets on the outer layers, partially cleaned and relubed).

1.09 2x2 ao25, stackmat PB by like 0.05 which is insane for me. Solves 14 - 25 make a 1.01 ao12 which is also PB. I might make reconstructions soon.
Edit: recons are posted in the reconstruction thread
