The 3x3x3 Example Solve Thread

How do you get these LL skips and the like? Do you just play around with RB solutions until you can read out a solution for the rest of the cube from one of the positions approaching a solved RB? Or is it just a ZBLL cancelling with your RB solution?

"CFOP"

R' Fw2 D2 //Pseudo 2x2x2
L E' B' Uw' L' //First Layer -1 corner
U2 F U2 F' //Insert pseudo pair
B' D L Dw * L F' L' //F2L + OLL skip

But then we get an F perm, so instead I insert this ZBLL:

R' Fw2 D2 //Pseudo 2x2x2
L E' B' Uw' L' //First Layer -1 corner
U2 F U2 F' //Insert pseudo pair
B' D L Dw //F2L -3 moves
M' U2 B' U B U2 F' B' U B U' F //F perm skip (setup + ZBLL)
Lw F' L' U2 //Finish

Roux, 36. This could potentially be a WR solve. Everything's straightforward with super fast blocks and CMLL with pretty nice LSE also
