got a smooth fullstep 7.419 with this scramble

reconstruction

z2 R F' D U' L F' D' // cross. I could have done a u' instead of a D' at the end to make my first pair rotationless but I decided to rotate so I could insert it into the back slot

This scramble is most certainly not legit, I can tell it was set up.

Lol, I should have checked for that kind of cancellation. It does look set up.

but, its actually a setup-ed scramble , lol
i watched a video how to prank someone by solving rubiks cube in 1 second, which is this :

the scramble is M' D' U' L' M
but i did Y perm first and scramble the cube and then make a legit-like scramble using https://rubiks-cube-solver.com/ by reversing the solution.

so the solution is, M' L U D M and then Y-perm.

so, this is a proof that even in a legit scramble the cube can be solved in really really few moves if you really know and understand how the cube works.

I think the only thing this is proof of is that the scramble really was fake, and that easy scrambles don't always look easy to start off with.

JSS is a thing now and it makes F<RU>F' even better. Obviously this was pretty lucky but 45 moves for a CFOP solve is pretty awesome.

instead of JSS will solve 2nd and 3rd pairs, as well as pairing up the 4th pair

Haha true, that's probably better in this case but I mostly wanted to show off JSS and F<RU>F' to people who don't get his emails.

Also that solution gives you an E-perm, ew

Do VHLS, it's not bad for that case

One thing Jay has always said about this stuff is that if normal F2L is better, just go for that. In this case, normal F2L is probably better. But imagine we had a similar case, but without the lucky normal F2L stuff, like this. I inserted a sledge so normal F2L is nerfed. You'd probably solve this with at least one rotation and some meh cases (or three free pairs lol but still two rotations or unergonomic F moves), but as you can see, F<RU>F' is great in this case.

@ProStar Are you happy now? Try solving the last two pairs with normal F2L and tell me that it's better.

I think that's really cool and efficient, I was just pointing out that there was a really easy and lucky case for that one particular case
