Cubing Forever

I actually know how NISS works but when I try to do it, I usually end up getting a scrambled cube on the inverse.

I did an FMC solve, and I am having trouble with insertions.
Scramble: R' U' F R D L D F2 D L2 U2 F2 R2 B2 L2 R2 U2 L' F' D' U' B D B R' U' F
Skeleton: D F R2 B D L' F2 L F D F2 D' F U' R U R2 F R F U' L2 U2 F'
Can someone tell me how optimally solve the last 3 corners? I did one commutator which is L' R U' R' U L U' R U R', but it only works at the end, so I cannot cancel anything. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks, but when I was looking at the cube, I was unable to find that commutator myself while looking at the 5 corner skeleton, and when I did it at the end, it did not work, which is weird since I thought that insertions can work anywhere in the skeleton.Starting from your original skeleton:
Insertion Finder Result - Fewest Moves
fewestmov.es
With your 3c after doing the 10 mover:
Insertion Finder Result - Fewest Moves
fewestmov.es

Oh ok thanks, that cleared it up for meDefinitely not. If you could do insertions anywhere in the skeleton for the same effect, then doing R U L would be the same as R L U - if "L" works as an insertion in the R U sequence, then R U L does the same thing if insertions can be done at any point in the skeleton, which is obviously not true. This is because the corners you are trying to insert move around the cube as you walk through the skeleton, so you're solving completely different corners with the same commutator depending on when it is applied in the skeleton.
I don't see any pseudo222 after doing F D' L R2 F2, so I'm going to guess you transcribed parts of your solution incorrectly.I also have a question about pseudo blocks, when you have a premove in both the normal and inverse scramble while doing niss, how do you make it a normal solution?
So essentially I have a scramble: R' U' F R2 U2 L2 F' D2 R2 F U2 L2 B L2 F' R'
For a pseudo 2 by 2 by 2, I do F D’ L R2 F2, and go to the inverse scramble and do an F' to solve the 2 by 2 by 2, then do a B2, and switch to normal scramble to do a B2, solving the 2x2x3, later switching again and do U’ L2 U2 L’ U’ L2, which f2l-1. However, when I try to fuse these into one solution normally, it doesn't work, so what do I do?
Then how do I use pseudo blocks if I cannot preserve f2l-1 when I make my solution?All on normal, you would do F D' L R2 F2 B2 U L2 U L U2 L2 U B2 F, although this won't preserve your F2L-1.
Thanks, although the skeleton did not look the same, I still had a 5 corner cycle. That is normal, right?Do the following:
U L2 U L U2 L2 U
B2 F
(do the scramble here)
F D' L R2 F2
B2
and you continue from the f2l-1 position.
If your solution you found from there was QQQQQ
then your whole solution would be:
F D' L R2 F2
B2
QQQQQ
U L2 U L U2 L2 U
B2 F
