Which do you think is better: PLL skip or OLL skip on 3x3

[precompsubwr]

I prefer PLL skip because even though OLL skips are more rare, PLLs take up more moves than OLLs do usually, like compare the 6 move T shape case to the 9 move A perm

yes(complete LL skip lol)

Easily OLL skips; despite having a higher move count on average they often require more complex, and therefore, slower, algorithms that operate at a lower TPS than PLL.

i think pll skip is better cause when i get a oll skip it takes me a moment to realize and then i execute the pll badly

ditto

I prefer OLL skip because then I can execute PLL as fast as possible. My best times tend to have OLL skips rather that PLL. Also I am much more likely to +2 a PLL skip.

OLL skips are way better because I can see them when inserting the last pair and register that it's going to happen.

While a pll skip, I just sit there while my brain goes haywire with 'there was meant to be an extra step, what the actual hell just happened!!'

sem here. i find it hard to recog pll skips, but oll skips are easy to recog. nevertheless, my pll time is worse than my oll execution time, so im in kind of a middle-ground here.

I like PLL skips more since they are towards the end of the solve.

I use Roux too, so I like CMLL skips more than LSE, as they produce much faster times yo.

Coming back to this thread: yiheng broke the 3x3 wr single with an OLL skip instead of PLL skip

pll skip

I like OLL skips better, as it is easier for me to lookahead to, so I don’t pause much after seeing the OLL skips, compared to seeing a PLL skip.

I like PLL skips better but I think OLL skips benefit more

errr... where has my pll gone?

i like PLL skips better
edit: i like both actually (omg a LL skip?!?!?!)

I think OLL skip is better for recognition, but PLL skip is overall better because it saves more moves, especially if it has no AUF
