LL Skip

I've had 3.

The first one was to the scramble in Nakajima's 7.85 solve video. Note: He didn't get a LL skip himself, and my solve wasn't timed.

The second was an easy and fast solve; I got my PB from it. Note: It remained my PB single for around 7 months. Yeah, I know.

The last happened the VERY NEXT DAY, I kid you not. :D The solve wasn't as easy before the skip, but it was still a very good time for me. :D
 
Last Layer skips sound like cheating. Stop cheating guys, it's bad.

It's like if you're racing other swimmers over 5 laps but only do 3. It's just cheating.

This. Imagine if Erik or Feliks had a FULL LL skip. In a competition. Holy F***, it would be impossible to beat.

So anyone if anyone could beat the current record right now got a LL skip...?
 
I've had 6 LL skips, but most of them had forced OLL skips. :/
None of those ones are on video, however there is this...

its like a PLL skip just ... better

PLL skip is also cheating, it's like if you're racing other swimmers over 5 laps but only do 4.
ok what about umm OLL skips

or easy F2L pairs
That's like doing 5 laps in your bathtub.

what about 2-Look LL ?
Thats got to be a fair solve
 
i get this LL skip often. CFOP... no force OLL skip, just happen, a lot have AUF but happen 1 almost every time i do AV100.. . so not rare for me. OLL skip common for me when do edge control, but F2L slow down much when concentrate on edge for right now. i am still practice this and remember how orient edge is hard when you so used to hacking F2L cases quickly. bad habit ; w ; i dont have PLL skip much, but many more PLL skip than LL skip for sure ^^;

Why is this little debate/discussion still going on?

lol of course it's not cheating.
These things happen unexpectedly; if you force it than you didn't just skip a step, you substituted it for an better one (the part where you work for the 'skip').

Whoosh! Unless you have undetectable sarcasm.

I highly doubt you have LL skips that regularly, un-forced. (Do you know what an ll skip is? It has a 1/15,552 chance of happening. Not 1/100)
