Many years ago, while using the ZZ method, I did the EO-line, then I got F2L-skip AND OLL-skip ! I got a G-Perm but I didn't know the alg very well and I messed up the cube. DNF! If only it had been a J-perm!
I should have done a J-Perm and U-Perm, but I was a little too surprised and stressed by the situation.
I still can't believe it. It was a hand scrambling, and I was interrupt before I started the solve. Not sure about what I really did.

Sry, but i dont have the scramble cuz it was my bro who scramble but i just keyed in the time and was too lazy to bother keying in the scramble. Sry. So i cant do recon.
You're using csTimer. There's no reason to not use the scrambles at the top of the screen. Clear out your entire session and start anew, and this time, use only those scrambles. If you want to try out scrambles from elsewhere (e.g. your brother, or your other brother, or however many siblings you have), make a separate session to time those.

Sorry guys, made a mistake. My bro did a bad scramble so I guess can't count that as my PB. Hope you all can forgive, :(
That’s ok. I would suggest using something like cstimer to generate scrambles.
Also, don’t be discouraged from cubing by the comments from others. They were just a little annoyed that you used a hand-scramble. Have fun and keep cubing!

It's no problem, I'd recommend using computer-generated scrambles though. Also, don't be afraid to call a lucky solve your PB. As long as it isn't a hand scramble, you can definitely call a lucky solve your best.

Thanks to a brand new Valk Elite…
Or really, I just wasn't getting good times on the Valk Elite at all, despite having done like 500+ solves on it on various settings. So on a whim I core-swapped it with my old Valk M (you can't mix corners/edges from the two cubes because they don't perfectly fit, but the centres are similar enough) and it turns out Valk Elite core (green springs) + Valk pieces works pretty interestingly. (The other combination, Valk core + Valk Elite pieces, is very unremarkable.)

It's fast and still barely stable enough to be usable!
