The 3x3 Example Solve Game with only half turns

That's superb right there

I need help again cuz idk how to solve this case

 Setup 
B2 L2 B2 L2 B2 L2 B2 R2 F2 D2 B2 U2 L2
 Moves 
L2 U2 L2 F2 U2

Next

I looked at your proposal. I don't know a direct solution, I'd do an L-pattern and then a 3-perm. If you chose the right algorithms, the cancellation is insane here!

 Setup 
B2 L2 B2 L2 B2 L2 B2 R2 F2 D2 B2 U2 L2
 Moves 
L2 U2 L2 F2 U2 L2 B2 L2 (y x') B2 R2 U2 R2 B2

// original:
// L2 U2 L2 F2 U2 // your first part
// (L2 B2)3 // L-pattern
// yx' (R2 U2 R2 B2)2 // 3-perm


I originally inserted this as 3-perm:
yx' (L2 U2 L2 B2)2
But I realized I can use the mirrored version for a LOT of cancellation! 👍

Is L2 B2 L2 (y x') B2 R2 U2 R2 B2 the shortest solution to this case? Honestly, I don't know. But I keep this in mind if I run into this exact pattern again!

Oh, I thought you knew some alg but this works I guess as it is 8 moves. How could R2 U2 R2 F2 U2 be useful though?
 
By mirrored version, I mean mirrored version of the 3-perm:
(L2 U2 L2 B2)2
versus:
(R2 U2 R2 B2)2
(mirrored across the yz plane)

Both do the same, but if the previous patterned ended up with R2, or even better, U2 R2, or even more... (considering the y x' move here), then the second is much better than the first. :)
