What's AFF?

Like AUF, but with the front face.

what?

 

[Robert-Y]

I want to see what others can get with the scramble, using more regular methods

There should be a 2x2 method that just solves the entire cube from a 2 piece block, provided that U and D layer pieces are in their respective layers. I'm guesstimating the alg count would be ~500

anyway,

x2 y

U' R U R' U' R' F R F' U'

R2 F' U' R U2 F R next scramble lol (can someone try NMCLL please)

U' * B2 U2 // to L3C
insert at *: [U B' U', F']

final solution: B' U' F' U B U' F' U2

8 move solution

That would be like TEG with two corners allowed to be twisted instead of one, so your bottom layer could have 18 different cases. With about 40 algorithms for the last layer for each of those cases (some would have 43), that would be about 720 cases. A lot of those are already known, because TCLL+, TCLL-, EG-1, and CLL are all included, but I don't think it would be very practical.
