Comments: ...now what the heck is this? Did I just...did...did I just...did I just get an OLL skip?
Yeah, I never even planned it, but this attempt at an FMC solve (first time I used CFOP for FMC...blockbuilding didn't work well for me this time), I get an OLL skip by pure chance! That was the first time ever for me and I'm so happy

This is at least my second; I dont think I've had a third, but I don't reconstruct my solves often.

On my Rubik's can be app on my iPad for 2x2 (after mixing up the cube) the bottom layer was solve as well as two top corners. All I had to do was

F R U R' U' F'

It still took me 2.6 seconds but it beats any regular 2x2 solve I've done. Unfortunately the app doesn't tell you the scramble.

Over in the 3x3x3 example solve thread:

Scramble: D' U2 L2 R D2 F2 D' U2 L' D2 U2 B2 L' F2 U L' R' U B D
Solve (plus breakdown):
D' // TWO corner-edge pairs
B L2 F' L2 D' L2 D F2 U' F D // orange-blue-white 2x2x1 square (while saving that other corner-edge pair and influencing other pieces)
F2 L // expand to 2x2x2 + red-green-white 2x2x1 block
R' F R' // join in best-fit position (while influencing next block pieces)
F R' D' R F2 D L' F L // green-white-orange 2x2x1 block
F' D R' // join blocks
D B' D2 B // create blue-red F2L pair
R D' R' D R D2 R' // insert F2L pair (while influencing edge permutation)
D' // AUF (also SWEET MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS HOLY LL SKIP!!!!!!!)

That is the first EVER time I got a last layer skip! I'm proud of myself.

Scramble: U2 R2 D2 B2 R D2 L U2 B' L2 U F2 U L D F D R'
Solve (plus breakdown):
R' F' // white-red-blue 2x2x1 block
B2 U2 // expand to 2x2x2
L' D' L2 D // orange-white-blue 2x2x1 block
F2 L // join in best-fit position + white-green cross piece
R' D R // red-green F2L pair
D R D' L D L' D' L D R' D L' // orange-green F2L pair
F D F' D F D2 F' // OLL
D // AUF (woo a PLL skip )

PLL skip! This is actually an alternate solve I came up with after posting my other one (used pseudo-F2L and was longer). I'm happy I explored.

Dang, z2 y' R' F reduces to 3 gen

 

[SpeedCubeReview]

The shuffle it showed was a lot more than 6 moves.

 

[Cale S]

Dang, z2 y' R' F reduces to 3 gen

It doesn't take any moves to reduce it to 3-gen It's already solvable in <R,F,D>

Spoiler

3-gen solve:

R F R2 F2 R2 D R2 // xxcross
D2 F' D F D' F' D' F // third pair
D R' D' R D' R' D' R // F2L
D F' D' F D' F' D F D' F' D2 F D // ZBLL

Right xD, I meant that R' F orients all the edges.

you might want to use 5x5 scrambles for 5x5 instead of 4x4 scrambles

HAHA!! I discovered my mistake and then came back to re edit my post, but it seems that I was corrected before I could get here.

My mistake.
