Lately I've been starting with a 2x2 Block instead of a cross so I can eventually do the X-Cross and I was wondering what the most amount of moves it takes to do each of these. Like it takes at most 8 moves to do the normal cross but the average is 6 moves. Does anyone know this information for the 2x2 block and x-cross?
 
With color neutrality, optimal 2x2x2 block takes slightly less than 5 moves on average, but worst case is still 8 moves. Example: B' F R D' U B2 R2 B' L' R D F2 U L2 R2 D' R2 D'.

I don't know about (partially) color neutral X-Cross.
