F2 B' R' D2 R L2 B2 R2 L2 D' R' D' L2 U2 D2 B R' B' L B2 L' D' B2 D' L2

Easy cross for almost every side. Blue is by far the easiest.

I generated this using cstimer.net/timer.php WCA 3x3 scrambles.
An R' and the corners are all solved o.o

2 f2l pairs already made but i encountered trouble with preserving both.
I got a 12.63 on this scramble which is decent for me. This is from fivetimer.

For a funny scramble go to gq timer and choose Derrick Eide. I did it at school one day and I asked a girl who used acronyms such as "lol" a lot who Derrick Eide is. I still don't know.

He's a cuber. Go down to the bottom of this page.

y2
D L y R F' D' F2 L//cross
L U2 L' R U' R//1st pair

U L U' L' U2 L U2 L' U L U' L'//3rd pair
U R' U' R U' R' U' R//4th pair
U'//LL skip

Both of the last layer skips I've gotten in the past week have been terrible, sloppy solves.

EDIT: Thought I'd gotten a third LL skip, but I thought about the solve and realized I'd done EO. So essentially a ZBLL skip. Still, 2 LL skips and a OCLL+PLL skip in 2 weeks is pretty decent. Lol.

Scramble doesn't really fit what the thread was asking for, but anyway how do people get so many LL skips, I've average almost 3.5k solves a month this yearr and I only have 1 standard and 3 with easy winter variation cases.

Same happened to me. I've had 3 recent LL skips, two within a few days of each other, and the times were terrible compared to what they should've been.

how do people get so many LL skips, I've average almost 3.5k solves a month this year and I only have 1 standard and 3 with easy winter variation cases.

Luck.

I've been cubing for 4 years and I've only had one LL skip.

One of the shortest solutions I've ever had:

R' U' R' L' D2 R B D L' F' U' R2 F2 U D2 R2 L2 D' L2

Spoiler: 31 STM with Roux

y' z
L' U S2 // (3) first block with 3 moves!
M2 U R' U2 R U R' U' r' R' U' M' U' r // (14) decent second block, but with a CMLL skip!
U M U M' U2 M U' M U M2 U M2 U2 M2 // (14) decent LSE

Unfortunately, this is not what I actually did. I discovered this when I tried to reconstruct my solve (had a different second block, didn't get a CMLL skip).

EDIT

After a few more solves, I got this:

U' B' D' F U R U F L F U' L2 B2 D R2 U2 F2 U2 B2 D2

Many fine corner-edge pairs! Did a 11.12 with it. I think it's good for x-cross too.

y // Inspection
L' R U R' E' R U' R' U // 122 preserving pair (9/9)
y2 R' L' U B2 L // 222 preserving pair (5/14)
R2 F R' F2 // 223 (4/18) (accidental F2LEO)
U' R' U R U' R' U R U2 R // F2L-3 (10/28) (accidental F2L-4)
U R U R' U R' F R F' R U2 R' // OLL (12/40)
R2 F2 R U2 R U2 R' F R U R' U' R' F R2 // PLL (15/55)

Fail efficiency and I needed a y2, but lots of luck saved it from being a bad movecount.

U R U R' U R' F R F' R U2 R' // OLL (12/40)

Fixed that for you.

Fixed that for you.

Thanks, fixed. Also, nice scramble (first half of F2L is what's good about it; 12 move Cross+2) that I failed on (half of the fail was recognising OLLCP, half was slowing down too much during F2L):
155. 14.66 L2 B2 U B2 U' R2 L2 F2 L2 U' L2 F' L' F' U2 L' F' R' L' B' F

U' F R U R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R F' // OLLCP (15/44)

3.55 TPS :fp

2.80 TPS :fp

Uhm...
A missing U2 at the end.
Also, that is 52 moves (with the U2), not 41. With 3.55 TPS.

Fixed, and fixed. 29+15 doesn't equal 34. Still fail TPS... I usually get high 4.

 

[Renslay]

A very short solution again, and probably the shortest LSE I've ever met.
It would be a 10.xy, but I didn't hit the space button... Epic fail. It is "just" a 11.83.

34 STM.
