I'm currently trying to get sub 3 on 2x2 and I am very close. I know about 1/2-2/3 of CLL. I average low 3 if I get a CLL case I know, and high 3 to mid four if I don't get a CLL case I know.

My pb's are:
Single: Two solves tied at 0.52 (One of them was yesterday)
Average of 5: 2.29 (This is a really bad PB, so I'm expecting it to improve soon)
Average of 12: 3.18
Average of 25: 3.8x (This is also really bad, and judging by the fact that this is so close to my PB ao50 I'm expecting to break it soon.)
Average of 50: 3.93
 
I know this thread isn't 3x3 related, but I plus twoed a 7.86 3x3 single today, which would have been PB. However I also plus twoed a 6.99 single once. Also my main broke in the morning so it could have been slightly faster. (It didn't have any turning problems, it just make a really annoying sound. It sounded like an old pyraminx with ball bearings.)

Damn you're fast
 
Got a 2.13 PB ao5! It was keyboard cheating though
1. (1.32) U2 F' R2 U2 R' F U' F U'
2. 2.35 U F' R U2 F' R2 F R2 U'
3. 1.99 U F' R F2 R F R2 F' U R (U F' R to start this scramble and the last scramble)
4. 2.04 U' R' F' U' F R2 U2 R2 U'
5. (3.71) R F R F' U' F U' F2 U

On the fifth solve I missed this solution which could have given me sub 2 average:
y z U2 R U' R' U F R U R' U' F'
I solved that layer into an EG1 case by accident and since I don't know EG1 I got a bad time

You are quite fast.

What is your stackmatted PB ao12?
 
Learned the L6 CLL. 8 cases left. I'm going to learn the rest before my next comp in a month. The cases I have left are:
U2, U3, U4, T2, T6, L2, L3

(I do know the T6 case, it's just that the alg I use is rotate into pure J perm then do R moves for AUF)
 
2x2 PB ao12. Scramble for 1.25 is wrong because
I rage quit and deleted the time after failing a 1.8x counting time except after I got a 0.78 so I put the time back because it would have been my counting time ever. The 1.25 was a 6 move layer into U2.
Also was guaranteed PB on solve 11.

12. (12.33) F R U' R2 U R' F U2 F'

EDIT: Apparently solve 6 and 7 scramble are the same too (I just noticed that) so I'm not counting this as a PB. I didn't try and fake this attempt even though it might seem like I did.
 
2.21 clutch 2x2 PB3 ao5!

Generated By csTimer on 2023-04-09
avg of 5: 2.21

Time List:
1. 2.17 F' U2 R2 U' R' F2 R F2 R'
2. (4.62) F R U2 R U' R' F U F'
3. 2.17 F' U' F2 R2 U F U' R' F'
4. 2.30 (E1 due to miss scramble)
5. (1.70) F R2 F R F2 U' F' R' F2
E1. 2.30 R' U F' R' F2 R U F2 U2

This reminds me of how the person behind the Oxzowachi channel (I forget their name) got a WR4 squan average and and an E1 on a good solve due to a timer malfunction and got the exact same time on the E1
 
Posted this on the east scrambles thread too, but I got a 0.45 sub WR 2x2 keyboard cheating solve.

Never would I think that I would ever solve a 2x2, much less solve it in a time less than the world record. NEVER say never! I finally broke past the curse of getting 0.52 seconds. (I had two PB's, both tied at 0.52 seconds)
