The Lucky or Unlucky Records Thread

[ottozing]

I've had 2 LL skips in comp. One was 3x3, the other was 5x5. Both were awful solves

 

[notfeliks]

I had a last layer skip once. It was on an awful solve, after missing PLL.

The most satisfying thing ever has to be, instead of the F R U R' U' F' OLL, doing a y2 and the left handed version and getting a skip by doing that. Seems to happen quite often too.

UNLUCKY RECORDS

Longest streak of no PLL skips (3x3): 192 - sneaklyfox, 126 - kclejeune,

I think 192 is a very low number for that record. There should be some people who have experienced >1,000 solves without any PLL Skips.
One time I had no PLL Skip for a few weeks. I can't really estimate how many solves I did there, but I was practising frequently.

Finally getting one was more exciting than getting an awesome single.

What about for shortest time before cube pops. I had a 3x3 solve where I popped an edge before the timer even hit the 1 second mark. I didn't even get to do one turn before it popped.

John Brechon has popped during inspection. No lie

Of course it's a low number. So I'm waiting for someone to top it. But you need a concrete number. Something like ">1000" or "not for a whole month" isn't going to cut it. It's easy. Just start a new session and "count" how many times until PLL skip.

Am I the only person who prefers OLL skips to PLL skips??

Longest streak of U-perms:

OLLCP

 

[Lucas Garron]

Can I claim longest streak of OLL skips?

I like both, I don't really prefer one or the other. OLL skips have a tendency to make me do worst if I don't expect it.

For most LL skips in a week, do they have to be completely unforced or can it count if your method has something like EO+CP+Phasing? Because if so then I have like 7-8 in a week, and 3 in one Ao5.

 

[pipkiksass]

3 in one Ao5.

? LOLPB much?

? LOLPB much?

Nope, it happened like the first time doing OH for over two months Only one of them was sub-30, and my PB Ao5 was (and is) 30.38. Seriously I have no idea how I got any of my OH PBs; I must have been so much faster than I am now. I can't remember what I was like back then. Just like how I once did a 5x5 solve that I thought was my PB by over half a minute, then I found my member introduction thread from May and I had a solve that was ~20s faster than that. And that was when I was sup-30 on 3x3.
EDIT: and even with that many LL skips in one average, LL skips are cool but they're better when you don't have to do anything. Having to add in EO, CP and then phasing does make them less good

i got 5 u-perms in a row once while doing 3x3 practice on my 4x4 lelelel

 

[tx789]

Back in 2010 or so I got like a 25 single with 4 three move inserts. I didn't use F2L and average like a 1:00.

I'm sure there is a ZZ + COLL user who has gotten a lot more than that.

 

[Renslay]

Once I've got 4 times the same CMLL in a row... Weird.

 

[CyanSandwich]

Just got 3 J(b) perms in a row

thats given, im just sharing an anecdote
