Has it actually been proven that old style scrambles give easier solves?

I think someone's looked at a large number of old style scrambles and shown there are usually fewer misoriented edges. Someone might have done something looking at the number of solved blocks too? I can't find anything on Google, but I'm sure I've seen some graphs somewhere.

10.095, (15.077), 10.036, 11.768, (9.950) RIP 10.63 ZB method avg of 5.
So much for consistency. really good F2L transition in all these solves. slow turning does work

What would you say your global average is now then?

had a pretty cool solution to this scramble

D2 F2 D' L2 R2 D' R2 U B2 F2 R2 B' U B L' F' D' L2 F L' U2

z2 F2 U' R2 F2 // 2x2x2
y2 U' R // square
F' R' F2 // F2L - 1
y U2 R U2 R2 F R F' // OLS
G perm (solve was ruined by this because I 2-looked it)

16 moves to PLL in a speedsolve

12seconds, which is about on par with my CFOP avg. However I can easily pop out a 10/11/13/14 avg depending on what ZBLL case I get :/

Nice, that's a super fast average of 12, and wow you got from averaging 8 to 7.5 in a short amount of time, that's really impressive.

Thank you! The key to improving quickly is dedication. Once you want to get faster, you have to be ready to put the work in. After that, you just target your weaknesses and eatch your times drop.

I wish you'll upload more in the future - I would have really liked to see that sub 7 ao12. I think that would be top 5 on Youtube (Feliks 6.12, Bill Wang 6.73, Hyeon Kyo Kyoung 6.88 average)

That's definitely old style. I remember getting so many PB singles/averages from Sunday Contests I stopped counting all of them Up to you if you want to keep it though.

meh, I'll still count it. I mean it was easy, but my pb is already 4.44 and the scramble didn't seem much dumber than other 4s I've gotten :3

Uh, and that one day before a comp Can you compete?

OH everything, it's gonna be funny. Although technically... 'Intentionally getting a poor result?'
