Mostly ortega and some remnant CLL in particular on the last average.

@Czery
Stay with ortega! It gets better as your prediction progresses.

I didn't know you get such low times with Ortega! When you say predictions do you mean planning out the most the solve (if not all of it)?

Yes though I do not even one-look my solves for the most part. I look up the the OLL during inspection then look for 3 crucial stickers that tell me what permutation I will get while I am solving the first two steps or if I can't figure it out I pause.

I am certainly NOT perfect with this and I believe sub 2 could be possible if you SS and SOAP with very high TPS and the ability to one-look your solves.

Do you still use Ortega? Why don't you learn Guimond or VOP?

Because I suck at separation because it is awkward. As for VOP, I don't know why I don't know it. I suppose I will learn it before I learn SS.

If you want to see how I do the solves just go to my most recent accomplishment post.

Edit: Here it is for my PB average of 5 I got earlier today.

Average: 2.35

1) 2.65

I cant believe I didn't realize the better solution.

The only one look was the last solve.

Simular to my style (apart from the OOS). But, if you used algs that don't affect the V, then you only need to have one separation case that is easy to recognise.
