Rubik's Cube in almost 20 seconds (non-lucky).

I could drop into the high teens with a better cube. Don't laugh at the music, I was playing slow songs on purpose to calm me down. I do horrible when I get too excited; that's when the cube jams a lot from slight inaccuracies, which happens a LOT with these store bought cubes. They are so tight they couldn't possibly pop pieces; I have to exert significant force just to pop a properly positioned cubie for lubrication.

This solve has the cool C-shape OLL algorithm; my favourite: (R U R'2 U') (R' F) (R U) (R U') F', which you can see after a U2 at 0:39 to orient for execution which ends at 0:42, making the start of a 6-second last layer solve.

Scramble: just random moves
Cube: store bought, Rubik's brand
Lubrication: Rubiks.com
Method: Fridrich, mostly intuitive F2L, full OLL (57 algorithms) & PLL (21 algorithms)

This is my fastest recorded solve, and my fastest ever non-lucky. I've definitely solved it in under 20 a few times non-lucky, and I believe I've approached 15 seconds once or twice.
