I want to see how fast you can solve a Rubik's cube. Wait for it... Using the traditional 7 step method. Post you times below!!
 
Step 1: Cross
2: Corners
3: middle layer Edges
4-7: EO CO EP CP

Cube: Rubiks

1.: 23.484 D' B' R F2 D B' U' L U2 B2 U' B D' R F' U' B R2 F2 L' F2 R
EO EP Skip
2.: 23.25 B2 D2 F U2 B2 U' R D' F L2 U R F' D' B' L F R' U F D2 L
EP Skip
3.: 18.193 U F' D R F R D F D L B2 L' U2 F' U2 B' D' B' U F2 R U'
PLL Skip
 
Cube: YJ Yulong

1. 31.664 D L2 R2 U R2 D2 L2 U F' L' U' L B L B' U2 L B' R'
2. 29.191 L2 B' U2 B2 F R2 D2 B2 R2 F' L' U' B2 U' R D' F D2 U2
3. 34.950 B2 U B2 F2 U R2 D F2 U' L' F R2 B2 L2 U2 B L' F2 D

PLL Skip

Using your scrambles:
24.81 (EO, CP skip)
31.33 (EO skip)
26.73 (EO, CP skip)

Cube: YJ Yulong

1. 31.664 D L2 R2 U R2 D2 L2 U F' L' U' L B L B' U2 L B' R'
2. 29.191 L2 B' U2 B2 F R2 D2 B2 R2 F' L' U' B2 U' R D' F D2 U2
3. 34.950 B2 U B2 F2 U R2 D F2 U' L' F R2 B2 L2 U2 B L' F2 D

Using your scrambles:
28.81 (EP skip)
26.98 (No skips, but maybe like one accidental F2L trick :p)
33.40+ (No skips; failed PLL)

All of these solves were done on a well-lubed original Rubik's brand.
 
Here are my best times:
Average: 18.14
1. 23.83 L D2 R D F' L F' R2 U D2 R F2 U2 R2 U2 D2 R' D2 L B2
2. 15.35 U D2 R D2 L2 U2 F2 L' U2 R2 F2 U' F' L R2 B2 L2 R B D2 (EO, CP skip)
3. 19.91 D2 R2 U' L2 F2 D2 F2 R2 D' U' R2 B' D' F L U' B' L' B2 R' U2
4. 18.65 F R2 U' D' L' B2 R U F2 U L2 F' R2 L2 B R2 F R2 D2 (CO skip)
5. 15.85 B2 R2 F2 D B2 R2 F2 U2 L2 R2 B2 F' U2 R D2 B F L D' L2 (EO, CP skip)
