Rubik's Cube in 18.81 seconds (lucky, 1st sub 20 second)
4This is my first sub-20 second solve, although it's a lucky solve (PLL skip).
I was going very slow: a slow cross, slow F2L (I even made a mistake and had to correct it). I was getting a string of good 20's and 21's solves, and then this solve was going terrible, until I got a 6-turn OLL and a PLL skip, which totally saved the day!
I had hoped my first sub-20 would've been more impressive but I decided to upload it anyway, since it was a long-time goal of mine. Next goal is 15 seconds or a back-to-back sub-20. I believe I need to speed up my cross and learn more F2L from all angles to achieve that.
Finally bought some real speedcubes (Da Yan2-GuHong and a Da Yan 5-ZhanChi) rather than using store bought Rubik's brand with Rubik.com lube. This cube is slippery as you can imagine, so I'm still getting used to not turning sides I don't mean to. It cuts corners like you would not believe. I may put up a video to show. I'm currently averaging just over 23 seconds. And my best 3 of 5 is just over 22 seconds.
Scramble: random moves
Cube: Da Yan2-GuHong
Method: Fridrich: full 57 algorithm OLL, full 21 algorithm PLL, almost all intuitive F2L except for 13+ algorithms
