I got a 5.74 first try
here’s my solution

Spoiler: solution

y // inspection
F’ R’ D R2 L’ U L’ // xcross + planned free pair
U L U’ L’ // second pair
y’ U’ L U’ L’ // third pair
U R U R’ // fourth pair
F R U R’ U’ S R U R’ U’ f’ // OLL
U F R U’ R’ U’ R U R’ F’ R U R’ U’ R’ F R F’ U2 // PLL
49 moves
my time could have been a lot faster but my hands are tired after a day of practice so I fumbled the fourth pair

some tips I suggest for your solves:
for the third pair, you can just do a y and then solve the green-orange pair. It’s a lot better than what you did because it doesn’t undo the pair that you did (which is what happened in your solution) and doesn’t require a y2. I suggest doing solutions that are simpler. Basically, don’t try to be Tymon.

The solution I provided was what I found afterwards. I was playing around with it until I found some ridiculous skip or something. On your note, however, I have been trying to simplify my solutions, work on lookahead, etc

As for your solution, it's quite late so I don't have my cube and alg.cubing.net isn't working for some reason but the amount of free pairs is absurd

very easy to see x-cross that's solved along with solving red cross piece (on white), the solution i got involved a simple OLL and a Jb perm.

I could’ve sworn when I made cross there were like 2 or 3 pairs already solved. Hopefully this scramble acyually has good potential

Edit: Found it

Just do it from the other angle to make it 7 moves (x' z U L D' Lw U' R D), you even get 2 free pairs

i didn’t see that
although i usually keep ergonomics in mind more over move count so that could explain why i didn’t see it

I found this on TC’s new vid on the new SwiftBlock
