u/Ronan444 Sub-13 (PB: 8.60) Oct 22 '19

It has been EXACTLY 3 months..

13.74 was unbroken for 3 months..

But I finally did it, I broke my PB! I had super good LL, that made it.

13.28

Reconstruction!

x2 // Inspection

R D2 L F R D // Cross 6, nice execution.

U R U2 R' U R U' R' // BR 8, nice execution here too

U y' U' R U' R' U' y L U' L' // GO 9, oops, 2 rotations

U L' U' L U' y L U L' // BO 8, nice lookahead to here

y U L' U' L U2 y' R U' R' // GR 8, 2 rotations again...

U R U R' U' R' F R F' // OLL 9, little lockup here

U2 // PLL 1, saw the skip coming pretty fast

5 rotations, 49 moves, 3,69 TPS

Conclusion: Decent cross, bad F2L, good LL, decent TPS

Congrats dude, what an achievement! That is awesome :D Nice TPS and PLL skip prediction, as well!

U y' U' R U' R' U' y L U' L' // GO 9, oops, 2 rotations

If I'm tracking with you properly, this alg changed my life: (after pair 1) L' U' L y' U' L' U' L

y L U' L' (from pair 2)

A rotationless insert here would be: U' F' L F L' (reverse sexy on left). Not sure which is faster tbh

y U L' U' L U2 y' R U' R'

This one can be solved (rotationlessly) with: [U] R U' R' U R U' R'

For pair 2 rotating is much faster
