wow, you did a float and 2e2e?? That's crazy. Do you float a lot? Seems like you must be super comfortable with it if you did it on a PB single

Also did you actually solve UFL so that it was twisted to force a better 2-twist alg?
 
I float pretty much edges 3cycles only unless there is something else really easy - This session I was actually working on floating more than just 3cycles, so not super comfortable with 2e2e.

As for the corners, I saw how easy the corners were and realized that an eperm would permute everything. I didn't purposely make UFL twisted. That's just what happened.

Also, this solve was PB memo for sure, sub 9, but I didn't split it.

Wow, pretty weird solve. Awesome too!
 
What is a float?
I was going to answer with something stupid but I decided against it :)

Basically, when you have to break into a new cycle, instead of using your normal buffer, you would switch Buffers. This saves a letter pair and usually it is done with a 3cycle, but you can do it with other things too. (heck, you could even float the whole solve)

EDIT: I forgot to mention that usually it is recognized visually and done at the beginning of execution, but if you are comfortable you can do some really cool stuff with it.
 
woahhh i think this is my best solve on a 10 alg scramble:

really proud of that mean of 3 in the beginning too, close to pb and it was on below average luck overall

Easy scramble, slightly botched execution, first sub-3 success! (also used a cube cover to practise for the first time)

memo: 1:30.362
exec: 1:19.602
+2 because I didn't want to think about whether I had to finish with L2

(yes, that's 3OP 2OP 2.5OP corners + freestyle edges, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing lmao)

I struck gold!

After almost 30h traveling by bus and some of the craziest trips I've ever had, I made it in time for 3BLD and not only I got my first official mean, but also an official PB and first place!

I'm stoked!

Also NR 10 / Top 30 CR for Single + Mean :D

I paused way too much ;(

PB mo3 is 32.000 and I'm proud of how well I did and the scrambles weren't even that easy :p
Also, hoping to break my PB single soon bcs I'm getting way too many 26s lol
 
21.95 solve in a very noisy environment, on cam! Pretty proud to get that, to tell the truth. I got an 18.4 some solves before that one, though, LOL, but not on cam... also it was handscramble over a DNF, so meh.

Pb single and ao5 :D single was 10/6' and used full corner comms. Drilling the 3style algs I know has helped a lot. Trying to finish up full corners soon.
