Ah ok, I don't think someone would go to those efforts to fake.
Sadly, people do.

He literally said that it was "stupid" and "should not count" and I think that is a clear indication it was fake. If you do something extraordinary and then dont take credit for it there is a good chance you didn't do it legit. If I got a REAL square-1 WB then I would be shouting it from the rooftops and made sure that i was recognized as the real WB holder.

R2 F2 B U B' U' D2 L B' U2 F' D2 U2 F2 B' U2 R2 D2 F' L2

I got this scramble earlier, it's pretty insane/stupid. (I beat my PB...)
2-move xcross, and easy prediction first 2 pair at F2L

This scramble wasn't from csTimer, I was practicing on my smarthphone in an app timer.
Is this a valid scramble?? I don't understand about 4Gen, etc....

y U L U' L' (U' D) F R' F' R Uw // XXX-Cross
R U' R' U R U R' // 4th Pair
U2 M' U M' U2 M U M2 U M' // Solved in 27 STM
This is more than an easy X-Cross.
It's a 10 move XXX-Cross + easy 4th Pair because it basically doesn't move + CLL skip.

y U L U' L' Uw L' U' L D // probably better XXX-Cross but not so good LL

Literally the best solution because LL skip:
y U L U' L' Uw U2 L' U L D // XXX-Cross
U' F' U F // EO
U2 R U' R' U R U R' U // Solved in 23 HTM

Nearly as good:
F' Rw U Rw' (U' D) F' U F D // XXX-Cross
R' U2 R U2 R' y L U' R' U L' U' R F U2 // IF does the job, Solved in 24 HTM

Nice solve but only XX-Cross:
y U L U' L' D2 // XX-Cross
R U' R' Fw R Fw' // 3nd Pair
U2 F' U F // 4th Pair
Rw B Rw' U' M U Rw B' // OLL
R U' S' U2 S U' R2 // Solved in 30 STM

I love playing around with easy scrambles and finding really good solutions lol.

A 2x2 scramble with every piece in the right spot, and only two pieces misoriented. If I only new CLL...
F' U F' U R' U R U2 F2 R'

I'm sure it's not the most efficient, but using a 3x3 OLL should be pretty fast to solve that?

woah, this scramble has a free pseudo pair as well as a keyhole insert for easy XXX-cross, which doesnt affect last pair, so i 1looked F2L, and then cross case u perm
this is probably the most simple scramble i have ever seen

Stupid solve that I completely choked.

D B2 L U2 L B' U2 D L2 F U B2 R2 U B2 D F2 R2 L2

y2 L' U' L y R' U2 R D' //XXCross + 3 move pair and free pair built
R' U' R //3rd Pair
y' U' F' U F //F2L in 14 Moves
R' U' F U R U' R' F' R //OLL
x R2 D2 R U R' D2 R U' R x' U' //PLL
33 moves
I shouldn't have rotated before LS because of AUF and I also could've cancelled the last R of the OLL into the A perm lol
If I'd done a lefty sledge I would've gotten wide anti sun into U perm but idk if that's any better than what I did.

My time was a 5.166 but that definitely should have been sub 4.5
