Just completed first (untimed) solve using ZZ method! I Average about 45 seconds with cfop (2-look OLL and 2-Look PLL), but I wanted to learn something that would set me apart. ZZ seems like a cool method that has potential.

ZZ is a really cool method. I've tried it before though, and I think it would take TONS of practice (more than CFOP) to get to a 20-25 average. There is just so little documentation on it that you kinda have to figure tricks and stuff out all on your own.

I think this deserves its own post in here

In Race to sub-20 thread:

My first sub-20 (and 21) average of 5 ever :D :D

Average: 19.72! :D

17.32, (17.21), (DNF), 20.21, 21.63

And the best part? No skips :) Really happy with this, came totally unexpected.
 
I don't think I'm actually getting faster, my PBs are just getting better because I am getting so lucky...

8.15 3x3 single PB
with 8 move triple x-cross!

B2 U' R2 U2 B2 F2 U' B2 F2 U2 B2 R B F2 L' B' R F U2 F U2

x2 y U R2 D' L2 R' U2 R F2 (8)
y R' F R F' R U' R' (7/15)
F' U' L' U L F (6/21)
l' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 R2 (9/30)

30/8.15 = 3.68 tps :(

I got nervous during PLL, could've been 7.5ish. I have got faster than this on handscrambles at meetups, but this is my legit PB. On video. :D
