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

Conjugate, insertion, interchange

Corners

WH: R2 L' D' L U2 L' D L U2 R2
Last corner is solved on its own using OP to solve parity

Edges
DB: U M' U2 M U (UB piece is placed on UL)
IA: D M' U R2 U' M U R2 U' D' (UL piece is placed on UB)
VR: D R E2 R' D' R E2 R'
NP: R' U M' U' R2 U M U' R' Undo exchange (R2) + undo setup (R) in the end become R'
FS: x F L F' M F L' F' M' x'
GT: x R L' U L E' L' U' L E R' x'

Last Corner
F' D R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R D' F (Solves last corner, swaps UB and UL)

Wouldn't it make sense to move this to the example solves forum? Also, bump

It would actually! Plus you can write commutator notation like this, rather than label everything.

[z': [R' D R, U']]
[x': [U', R' D R]]
[D', R' U2 R]
[z: [R' D' R D R' D' R, U']

Was hoping for something more interesting. I don't actually use the last alg (cyclic shift of 2 sunes) but I should. I probably wouldn't spot the cancellation in 4th/5th edge cycles.

Awesome corners solution, here are some possible cycles for the edge case that I use: r' u' M u2 M u' r, M U M2 U2 M' U2 M' U' M', or just L' B' set up to 4-mover is decent.

Oops, ninja'd on the scramble. Btw, I would execute this as U' (F R' F' r) (R' F R F' R) (r' U), flows decently for me.

I guess that's the initial BLDers' hype now that the thread has been bumped

At least the next person gets to choose a scramble. And thanks for the alg!

method: 3-cycles TurBO variation "Solid Diagonal"
solving orientation: scramble orientation: white up green front std colors
letter system: anticlockwise major: UFRBLD order "A" thru "W" and "Y"

generator: B2 D2 L2 D2 F2 D2 R2 U F D' R F' U' R' B2 D B R' (18f*)
edge_#_corner cycles per my solving orientation and letter system: (ATJON_BYEGPq'r_Sv_#_AOLISq-u_Gj-y_Kn-w)

split into pairs off A_ edge buffer and memorize: TJ ON BY EG PQ(flip) S(flip)
similarly off _A corner buffer: OL IS(backtwist) G(backtwist) K(backtwist)
I prefer to solve the corners first.

to solve _OL corner, apply _OL 6 BO 2 YO:
code 6 move _OL to _BO (I think "setup _O"): x z
// twist the whole cube along the axis of 3-fold symmetry along ULB-DRF
// whole-cube turning ULB to BUL and DRF to RFD. Then _O becomes _B and _L
// becomes _O, BDL becomes ULF and RBU becomes BDL in two steps: _O moves
// with the whole cube to _T (BDL to LUF) and twists once anticlockwise with
// the buffer to _B (LUF to UFL); _L moves with the whole cube to _V (RBU to
// DLB) and twists once anticlockwise with the buffer to _O (DLB to BLD)
double-type move _BO to _YO (I think "setup _Y"): F2
solve _YO with the alg for _OY: x' U R' U' L' U R U' L x
return _YO to _BO (I think "restore _O"): F2
return _BO to _OL (I think "restore _L"): x' y
