The crappy method I use which has no name but I guess it's in between OBLBL, Yau and Yau5, 103 moves.

(I initially intended to do this linearly but got some bad cycles in edge pairing so I backtracked once there. Didn't do any intentional parity avoidance.)

This looks like a lot of fun! I’m not at home right now, but I might do an example solve with this method later.
Well, there are a few mistakes in my example solve. EO should have been done before pairing last two edges and the FB is just highly inefficient.

Also, extending the 2x3x4 into a 3x3x4 and last two edges should have been algorithmic but algs haven't been genned yet lol.

This might be a dumb question, but how do you do EO before pairing the last 2 edges? And what is the purpose? Parity avoidance?
