It makes no difference? I don't know full ZBLL, or even 10 cases but I've used it in solves before. I guess it's just a PLL skip since I don't know 100 cases?

The point is, if you don't know many ZBLLs, then there is a low probability that you'll get a case that you do know and be able to solve the last layer in 1-look. Therefore it is still lucky. Not quite as lucky as a PLL skip, but still lucky.

EDIT: If you know less than 10 ZBLLs, then getting one that you know really is as lucky as getting a PLL skip.

EDIT2: By an old definition of lucky, if a skipped step has less than 20% chance of happening, it is considered lucky. In the case of ZBLL, 20% is about 100 cases. But without full edge control, not every solve will even have a ZBLL case, so the number of cases you would have to know in order to have a >20% chance of doing 1LLL is even more than 100.

I thought that Jacob has official 33 avg with like 3 PLL skips and one pure parity

It's funny when people says they had zbll instead of pll skip. I bet he doesn't know even 100 cases

While this is probably true for many people who claim to have used ZBLL, I don't understand how you can "bet he doesn't know even 100 cases". What are you basing this off of? I think Jacob is a "good" enough cuber that we can't assume what he does or does not know without his word.

Note: I think this conversation should really be taking place in the thread with Jacob's average video. Moar Kevin discussion in this Kevin thread.
 
Kevin is better than Jacob, no questions asked. Also, who cares. But yeah lets stop talking about Jacob and focus on Kevin here, congrats Kevin <3, you're making me wanna practice again!
