Finally broke my 3x3 PB single a couple weeks ago with an 8.56. My PB could probably be a little faster considering I average mid-13s but anyway, here is the reconstruction if anybody wants to see it (CFOP). No X-cross or anything, just a reasonably lucky F2L (as far as look-ahead it was easy, the efficiency was actually pretty bad. The solve just had no pauses with good turn speed), then OLL skip, and T-perm with no AUF and over 5 TPS throughout the solve.

this is huge,sub-30 is so close now
28.98 ao12,down from 30.xx so sub 30 ao12
30.46 ao50,down from around 32 seconds
32.01 a100,down from 33 seconds
i only need a .46 improvement for sub-30 ao50 and a 2.01 improvement on ao100 for sub-30 global
ao3 and a05 also went down from 27-28 to 26-27

First sub-10 solve. It finally happened - 10+ years after becoming a cuber! (though I only started practicing again in 2016 after quite a long break, but still.)

Scramble: F R' B L F' R D2 F U D R2 B2 U' F2 R2 B2 U2 B2 R2 F

z y’
U D’ R’ U’ F U B2 // EOLine (7/7)
L’ U2 L’ // LF Square (3/10)
U R’ U2 R2 U’ L’ // Finishing Left Block (6/16)
R’ U R U’ R’ U2 R U R // RB Square (9/25)
U2 R U R’ U’ R U R’ // RF Pair (8/33)
U F R U’ R’ U R U2 R’ U’ R U R’ U’ F’ // COLL (15/48)
// EPLL Skip (0/48)

48 HTM, 9.951 seconds, 4.82TPS

ZZ is the best, you can't change my mind :p

Very unconventional roux solve! It’s my PB and I’m very happy that I was able to pull this off. I average 19ish and my previous PB was a 13.63.
And yes, there were some cancellations that I could have made but I don’t really care. If you’ll notice, after I finish left block I’ve actually finished all of f2l in 20 STM and 24 HTM. I don’t know OLL because I use roux, so I couldn’t have done the solve algorithmically from there.

Please try the scramble and solve, I really like it.

The OLL is for that case is exactly what you did except the last two moves are inverted

M’ U M U2 M’ U M' // You EO solution
M’ U M U2 M’ U' M // The standard OLL

There's also R U R' U' M' U R U' Rw' and its inverse.

Nice solve btw.

Nice job on PB! I liked how you implemented free block building; I should probably start doing that.
