4x4x4 PB!
1:21.76
(1:29.64)
1:21.63
1:20.18
(1:19.76) This one was interesting... The little edge of my aosu popped!

Avg: 1:21.19

I GOT A SUB 1:20 OMG haha. And I did a sub 1:25 average. Which is pretty awesome, considering I just started 4x4 5 days ago...

EDIT:
Avg of 12 was quite sucky.
Continued from above,
1:09.33
1:18.55
1:18.51
1:27.77
1:22.23
1:38.09
Avg: 1:23.56

Sigh, those weird cases in edge pairing really throw me off.

Here is what I did.

Scramble: R U2 F R U' R' U2 F' U' F R

Since I don't know full CLL (no Sunes/Anti Sunes) I often force OLL skips and then do PBL so I can do quite a few SS cases intuitively.
I went for the green layer (hold the bar on the bottom left) which is just a trick I derived from a 3x3 F2L case a while ago: R2 B' R' B R'.
You can cancel into that because the first R2 is already done.
Then just by tracing the LL pieces you can see that LL is gonna be done and leave you with one move (AUF).

In the end I executed it like this:
y2 z' U' R' U R' F

Thanks! That solution is actually possible to execute quickly.

Nice; I was only using the front/back mirror of this before (inserts a pair into the back slot. Execute as R2 F R2 F' if the FR slot it unsolved, and R2 F R F' R if it isn't) but this is also a nice way to reduce rotations.

I've been doing these front back left and right for a few months now. I've been calling them the Super Sledge, because the finger tricks involved are so similar to the Sledge Hammer. R2 F R F' R is my preferred alg for the BR insert, because it's as fast to execute as a normal Sledge Hammer. But if the pair is already in position I'll rotate and down a back Hedge Slammer (x' U' R U R' x) instead.

It's not great for look ahead, especially the R2 B' R' B R'. And I generally reserve this alg for the last slot. But I love it. I use the Super Sledge every day.

Another F2L derived from the Super Sledge is R' U R' F R F' R, which I use anytime I see that F2L in the back now. Definitely not new... I saw it in Jayden McNeil's advanced F2L guides.

Yep, they do suck for lookahead...

The front/back mirror for the FR slot can be executed as l F' R U' R' U l', which is by far my fastest F2L insert except for the 3 move inserts. It does the same thing as F' U F U' R U' R' (or y' R' U R d' R U' R'), which is what some people use as their normal alg for that case. You can also replace the middle U' with U2 to make a very fast 2x2 PBL.

E: Stackmat TPS PB.
U2 F2 U F R' U' R2 U2 F'
z y2 // Inspection
U' R U' R' // SS (4/4)
U L F' R U2 R' U R' // PBL (8/12)
12/1.69 = 7.10 TPS

Saw everything but end AUF in inspection, and I saw what AUF was (or wasn't) before PBL.
