Feel self conscious even posting in here because everyone else is doing really cool XXcrosses and FMC stuff.

I think these example solves are really helping my timed solves, I'm doing a lot more Xcrosses and even a few doubles if the first one is easy. Even my Cross to F2L transition is better because of how much I pay attention to F2L during Inspection.

mDiPalma, do you actualy use that alg for tha tsune case? id rather do the RU-gen one, despite it being 2 moves longer

Yeah, once you learn like 100 2-gen algs, they all blend together, and you take whatever simplifications you can get!

Na, I'm not fast :)

...you typically use < 15 minutes to get a ~30 move solution...

Edit: You should make a video/text tutorial on your FMC approach! Something like your BLD guide. It would be really popular. :)
