L2 R2 D2 U' B2 L2 U F2 L2 U2 B' D' R2 F2 D L' U2 R U' on 3x3

Very easy X-cross on white

Got an 8.99 with this

R2 U' F2 L2 D B2 U' B2 L2 U B' U' R' D F' U2 F' R' B' L' D2
z2
F' D' U L F D

Easy Xcross that builds a pair and all F2L edges are oriented. I got a 9.359.

0.93 F U R' U' F2 U' F' R' U'

wowwwww, remember when a bunch of people were timing diag-sune with pickup ? well, that definitely came in handy:

R U' R2 U R' F2 R F R2 (no AUF, too!)

got 0.896 (~11.2 tps)

When I first attempted it, I had some amazing solution that included something like:
L U L2 R' U R // F2L-2
L2 U2 L' // F2L-3
[...] F R U R' F' // VHLS
[AUF] l' U R D' R' U' l B [AUF] // OCLL w/ PLL skip (you'd almost certainly know it as a ZBLL)
But I can't reconstruct. I think I might have misscrambled, which is annoying because it was such a good solution.

Fail 1.18, would've been even slower if I hadn't known there was an easy solution.

I use F' r U R' U' L' U l. It's just the inverse of my standard OLL from the case, I also used it as COLL before I started learning ZBLL, I only know that and two other cases from the COLL subset.

Yeah, I don't know any COLLs for L. I only know that if the two stickers facing U are opposites, it could be solved, but not always. And if they're the same it's sometimes diagswap, sometimes not.

(although now I look at this, I can't see anything easy about it - maybe I misscrambled?)

Another easy EO: B2 D2 F2 L2 F2 D' R2 U2 B2 R2 D' L D' L2 F2 U L R2 F

R2 D' B2 D2 F2 D B2 F2 U' L2 U' L U' F R' D2 L2 U2 R' B D2

Easy block or pair preservation and super easy cross

356 0.51 F2 U R2 F R2 U2 R2 F
358 0.48 R2 U2 F2 U2 R2 F2 U' F2
361 0.82 R' U2 F R F U R2 U'

Within 6 solves... so close to having two counting sub-1s in one Ao5.

Are you counting a 3 move scramble?

Good point, I forgot about that. I'll say my PB is 0.53 from early March (F R' F' R F'; easy SS -> predicted PBL skip. I've deleted all the 4 move or less scrambles from Prisma).

E: 176. 0.57 R U2 F2 U

E2: 23. 2.71 F' R2 F' R2 F R2 F U2 R'
71. 0.89 F2 U R F' R2

E3: 109. 0.96 F' R U R F'

142. 1.45 F' U' R U' R' U2 F2 U' F'
8.28 TPS

I had a 5 move X cross that was insanely easy to see during inspection, plus very easy F2L transition. My time was 19.23, and i average around 26. Try timing this guys, i want to see what you will get. This wasn't a new PB but definitely was awesome.

EG-2 case. But I don't know EG-2.

9.137 B2 D' F2 R2 F2 D R2 U' B2 U F2 L B' D R L B2 D F D' F2

Easy Xcross , I almost went with white, these low 9s are getting standard, maybe I'll have a sub 10 average before my first year of cubing. When it is for me to reconstruct like this it usually means F2L was obvious and I had fast TPS.

U' F R' B' F2 L' // Xcross (6/6)
R' U' R L' U L2 U' L' U y R' U' R // F2L-1 / F2L-2 (12/18)
R U' R' U R U' R' U R' F R F' // F2L-3 / EO (12/30)
U R U R' U R U2 R' // OLL (8/38)
U R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' // PLL (13/51)

Sup 5 TPS, Not going to check. I actually know that ZBLL: R U R' U R U' R D R' U' R D' R2 U, which shows how often I don't uses cases I know.
