Your favorite skip?

[RobinBloehm]

A whole entire cube skip!!

Nah, it's PLL skip.

wonder will there be an official scramble that gives a whole cube skip in the future? WR Single 0.00 secs ! Broke by a 1 year old kid that average 10 days per solve.

I'm sure that some time there will be a scramble that is only a few moves away from being solved...but since everyone at the comp gets the same scramble, it just matters who can do it fastest :O

A quick calculation told me that we will see a 3 move scramble every 500 billion competitions
So...long live the WCA

wow thats nasty. im so sorry fridrich users.. but i use ZZ with coll so my chance of LL skip is my chance of OLL skip (1/27) multiplied by my chance of PLL skip(1/12) sums up to be 1/342
ZZ ftw!!!

I think you should check your math.
(I think PLL skip chance is 1/72, unless you're doing something special.)

he's just naive because he uses COLL. He either needs to change his OLL chance to the chance of a COLL skip (1/162) or PLL to 1/72.

LL Skip,ItsCrazy....But,I never have LL Skip

 

[Joker]

F2L skip would own haha
But reasonably, I like PLL skips the best, specially for OH. Damn I suck for my PLLs OH, they really can make an epic awesome solve to a normal solve, and a normal solve 3-5 seconds slower

 

[StachuK1992]

I've had 5 LL skips now, and every single time, I just get sooo happy.

Although, 3 of them were with ZZ, so they're not *as* cool. (1/(~52000*12) rather than 1/~52000)

I pretty much never get OLL skips, even when using ZZ. ~sigh~

 

[TeddyKGB]

Skips through the woods are my favorite, little red ridinghood style

Seriously, LL skip would be awesome I've never had one, PLL skips are cool too and I seem to get more OLL skips than PLL skips even though the odds say that shouldn't happen.

I don't like skipping an f2l pair (if I don't spot it beforehand) because the surprise of it can mess up my rhythm.

My favorite skip is an easy cross or with two or more cross pieces in place. That gives me more room to track f2l pieces and the first f2l pair usually gets put in place extremely quickly.

 

[bluecloe45]

i got like 15 pll skips today, didnt do >100 solves

 

[Plaincow]

easy cross or a free f2l pair. i dont like oll skips because i cant use lookahead to spot it like i can a pll skip.

 

[uberCuber]

best skip ever: cubeshape skip on Square-1...but I've never gotten one yet

 

[TeddyKGB]

I'm not sure I like you anymore

EDIT: NEW PB WITH PLL SKIP: 9.52 AND A COUPLE 12'S

 

[Sa967St]

I really like getting OLL skips, but only if I force them somehow.

 

[nlCuber22]

OLL skips by far. They're like woah PLL now, gogogo.

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

I like OLL skips, because.

 

[4Chan]

I like OLL skips.

Because I get too many PLL skips. =/

 

[Ranzha]

For speedsolving, OLL skip. I'm too used to PLL skips.
For blindsolving, 4-edges skip. These are be disoriented, but permuted. Also, any solved corners really helps, especially on my 2:15.96 PB with three permuted corners and 3 permuted edges.

 

[irontwig]

2x2x1 skip, block-F2L ftw.
