ZZ-CT Progression Thread

That's still a long way out and would probably require me using a good variant

In lieu of the ZZ WRs, what else do you have planned, Mr. Swag? Shall you continue the grind toward the 9 second barrier or perhaps learn OLS?

Foot off the pedal for 3x3 speed rn. Maybe do some oh, some 4x4, untimed solve, drills, all sortsa stuff. For 3x3 though, gonna keep an OLS sheet but instead of using an OLS alg for every case, it does what I think is good and tells me whether I will get PLL, TTLL, or TTLL+ for that case. C++ but with some CT+ thrown in.

Or maybe I get bored of that on like day 2 and immediately give up on it who knows

alright no that's alright we can call it slot neutral zz-c, surely. this is fine.

 

[cuberswoop]

we can call it slot neutral zz-c

we can call it lucky

 

[Swagrid]

I realised I never announced this here, so uhh, SWAGRID'S LAST LAYER SKIP GALLERY!

A cubedb account dedicated entirely to posting reconstructions of my own solves, which are all last layer skips.

In this case, last layer skip is classified as being LS -> skip OR TSLE -> skip OR OLS -> skip.

As of time of posting, there are 38 solves on the account.

Yoooooooooo

 

[Swagrid]

For some reason the paste wasn't formatting properly. Pb ao5 in a splits session.

1) 7.58
2) 7.66 I am VERY unsure about this recon it probably is not what I did.
3) 9.28
4) 7.51
5) 7.84

Super lucky F2L's all around and especially lucky on those last two solves to get accidental xcrosses.

 

[Swagrid]

At Exeter Summer 2023 I got an 8.28 single and a 10.13 ao5.
To figure out who has the fastest CT solves in comp we basically have to rule out Chris Tran and Andrew Nathenson. Both of these results are faster than Chris and Andrew has a faster single than me, but I believe it was set while was using A.

I may have the CTWR single, but almost definitely have the average.

Did you see @Enirolf at the comp?

Maybe
I don't know who they are so I wouldn't know

 

[Enirolf]

I did see you swagrid. We were in the same group a couple of times.

If you want to know if you saw me, you can look at my wca account picture. Also, I was the only female podiumer (pyraminx) so you might recognise me from that
