This one ls lucky for Guimond too Got 20.25 which is a very good time for me.
Spoiler:
Do L' before orienting corners according to the red-orange stickers and you will get both separation and xLL skipped.

0.47: I saw the whole solution so my AUF was quick.

like, i don't even understand how you could physically get that time with having to pick up the cube. frankly, i don't understand how any sub-1 solves happen. congrats!

i got a 1.34. and yes, the auf is relatively easy to see, haha.

Maybe cause I'm a dirty little cheater who starts with the cube in his hands. In seriousness, it's just not practical for me to do the whole picking up thing off my keyboard. In most events, holding the cube as opposed to picking it up saves only a small percentage of time. For what it's worth, I got 0.67 with the official way

U' F L R' U B R' U' L' R' B2 F L2 D2 R' D2 U B F' R F' D B' D U2

2x2x3 block: y' U2 L B

And you can easily continue into a double x cross from there

Hmm... Look what I got from cube explorer:

Nice one for 3OP users

EDIT: 9.94 on Simon's scramble

 

[SimonWestlund]

Wow! I got 7.27 PLL skip with Simon's scramble! With a lot of lockups.

I tried it a second time and got 6.13

30 move solution..

 

[MTGjumper]

What was you solution. All of my continuations with Fridrich are pretty poor =/

 

[SimonWestlund]

2x2x3: y' U2 L B
3rd pair: U' R2 U2 R U' R' U2 R U' R'
4th pair: U' R' U' R
LL: F' L F L' U' L' U' L U L' U L U

I know my OLL for that case is weird I just used the inverse of another one

 

[MTGjumper]

Yeah, I had the same solve up until the LL, but my OLL gives a Y perm =/

FL was really fast and LL was skipped. = 2.84
