I also tried the last scramble since I saw a pretty good FB immediately, and I was able to get a 40 move solution with it because the continuation was really short.

I decided to play both solved edges just because. The 223's could have been better, but I do admit the second solve was smoother.

Pretty happy with this solution. I was able to see the FB pretty quickly, and I was able to flesh it out to give me the Sune ZBLL at the end. 41 moves is really good and it has some good ergonomics too. I was able to downsolve it to 5.68 with 8.63 TPS which is pretty good, but my turning was a lot slower up to EO, then LXS and ZBLL I think I was easily able to go over 10TPS but the slower 223 brought my average TPS down a bit.

Finally got part 5 out, nothing too special with this solution, but I don't really like the ZBLL too much, but I couldn't find a better one. I had a 7.35 downsolve during practice, but I just couldn't get a good solve with a good ZB so 7.75 is good enough for me.

There is probably a better way to do a 223 there, but I couldn't really see a way to solve the GO edge without disturbing the WGO corner or taking a lot of moves. I'm still happy with the solution I got though.

Also found another 44 move solution that I don't know if either is necessarily better but they are pretty close, though the 223 and BRPair is longer, everything else is shorter and a nicer ZBLL too.

This was an alright 223, but full LUF-gen with an F2 isn't great so the ergonomics could be way better, and there's probably a better solution too.

Finally got around to part 6 after having a comp last weekend, and not having time the weekend before. This solution is decent, though the 223 is not great to fingertrick, but once you get to LXS-ZBLL it flows super nicely being RU gen, and you can see a dramatic increase in my TPS after I get done with 223.
