Stupid scramble is stupid, but it's my first sub 2 so I'll take it. I +2'd a scramble that was literally just double sledge shortly after I learned intermediate several months ago so this is my... comeback? Revenge? Something along those lines.

 

[vidcapper]

Not mine, but on Britain's Got Talent last night...

A good motivation to set a PB...

 

[SpeakCuba]

(2x2). I got a 4 mover! First one I’ve ever gotten. I’m super glad I executed it quickly, as I wasn’t 100% sure it was a 4-mover. Got a new PB of 0.86, which I still cannot believe. It pretty much destroys my old PB of 1.24. Here’s the scramble if y’all want to try it for yourselves.

Scramble: U R’ F’ R’ U2 R2 F’ U2 R’

Recon: x, y, R U‘ R’ U <- U for AUF

 

[xyzzy]

Bunch of recent PBs (past month or so). Can't be bothered to copy out all the numbers so only the notable ones are written out. Maybe I'll automate this one day.

222 ao200
333 ao200: 12.036 → 11.991 (posted before)
OH ao200
444 ao50: 45.170 → 44.592 (got this today)

Turns out an x-cross with 2nd pair planned in inspection, together with an easy to finger trick and lookahead f2l and one of the easiest OLL cases with a PLL skip that I can recognize will happen leads to a pretty good solve. Sub 7 count is up to 3 now.

Came back to cubing recently, and after a month I popped off with a sub 10 ao250! I still have to work on my turning because it's a little choppy. Cross+1 practice is really paying off

Please tell me you don’t still use the beginner method xD

I do!

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

I do!

I will give you credit that you can manage sub 20 using the beginner method

 

[AJT17]

I just got an unforced last layer skip on an untimed 7x7 solve. I don't think I have ever gotten a last layer skip on 3x3, so this might be a first.

 

[ZZCUBER]

I got an LL skip once but I wasn't even sub 1 minute yet lol so the time was trash
