[Unofficial] 3x3 in 13.90 (nl, but easy)

[Tim Major]

PB by quite a bit. I know I stopped the timer "wrong, but read the description below the video.

"Yeah, sure I stopped the timer with my wrists. Many others who use computers to time stop the timer with their finger while still holding the cube, but don't get flamed. I don't understand any advantage of stopping the cube like this. Oh yeah, the WCA stats have been deleted. I'm now equal first best in the world. Yayz. Lol.

Pb Non-lucky. Scramble was: F' U B2 F' D' R2 L' F' U' R2 D' B2 U2 L2 U2 D L' R' D2 F2 R2 B2 F D' F2

So kinda easy, but not lucky. This a5 was 24.63, but I won't upload it.

Solution on request.

What times are you getting with this scramble? I will provide the solution if you guys want, but I cbf if you don't want it. Also, what do you think on timer stopping? Is this fine in your opinion. At a comp this may be called +2, if someone strict was judging.

EDIT: this was my solution. I did not get the really easy one, that many others did.

X-cross: z2 L R F2 (3/3)
f2l 2: y' R' U R R U R' U' L' U L (10/13)
F2L 3: R U2 R' U R U' R' (7/20)
F2L 4: U2 y R U2 R' U2 R U' R' (8/28)
OLL: Rw' U' R' U L U' R U (8/36)
PLL: L F' L B2 L' F L B2 L2 (9/45)

Can that scramble honestly be considered nl?
Edit: 9.43 "nl" pb I had a mini-pop during pll grrrrrrr but I don't think it mattered too much. WOW I am slow if I gotta 9.43 on that .

Since this time, I've retried this scramble a few times, and just had 8.84 with my mini ds, however, I used a ZBLL alg, that I learnt just for this purpose.

Lol this is as bad as the Lucas scramble. All the F2L pairs magically join up, T OLL and A perm.
8.75
Edit: I found another route that ends in a PLL skip

Solution? I didn't have easy f2l, or T OLL, or A perm.

 

[4Chan]

Wow, I can see a 2x2x2.

I like this scramble.

Yeah you did have an east f2l, look at the scramble! Anyone had it but you could have made dumb moves to mess it up.

err, I suck with solution-writing
F' U B2 F' D' R2 L' F' U' R2 D' B2 U2 L2 U2 D L' R' D2 F2 R2 B2 F D' F2

X-Cross: z2 L F2 R
2nd F2L slot: U R U2 R' U R U' R'
3rd: U' L U' L'
4th: y' R U' R
OLL: U (R U R' U') (R' F R F')
PLL : y' A perm

And the other with PLL skip:
X Cross: z2 R L F2
2nd: y' U L' R U' R' L
3rd: U' y R U R' U' R U R' U2 L U' L'
4th: y R' U R U' R' U R
OLL: U' R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R
PLL: U
You can do a y' instead of the U' U

X-cross: z2 L R F2 (3/3)
f2l 2: y' R' U R R U R' U' L' U L (10/13)
F2L 3: R U2 R' U R U' R' (7/20)
F2L 4: U2 y R U2 R' U2 R U' R' (8/28)
OLL: Rw' U' R' U L U' R U (8/36)
PLL: L F' L B2 L' F L B2 L2 (9/45)

45 moves. 1 cancelled turning into 44 moves. I could do much better, however, this was my speedsolve solution. I did not see the easy solution I now see.

Not the best

At a comp this may be called +2, if someone strict was judging.

... Of course it would be a plus 2...

Faz, only with a strict judge.

Faz was judging my 2x2 solve at a very unofficial meetup, and called plus 2 for this. I stopped it much less with my wrists, and much more with my palms. I'm getting out of the habit now, but this happened before the meetup, so I didn't really know I was stopping the timer wrong.

Is This a proper scramble?

Is This a proper scramble?

LOL, yes, I got it of qqtimer. I was currently doing an a5.

 

[arckuss123]

Haha, i got 18.99 so would this be my pb?

 

[Tim Major]

No, because you tried the scramble, knowing it was going to be a good scramble.

 

[arckuss123]

Lol ok
