The Roux "Example Solve" Game!

a valiant effort.

A woman can only try.

EDIT - I've been informed I'm not female again.

better ?

Lmao omg that was epic, I seriously lost it watching that solve xD.

Solution

edit - all clockwise U + clockwise x + clockwise y if you were wondering.
edit2 - oh negative rotations. well **** that then.

How in the world...??? Did you do this by hand?

First block seems a bit complicated. I use delayed-center-fix as well, but only when the block is super-easy with misplaced centers.

Fixed that for you. Also, in the first block, you can do:
z2 R' U F2 x2 U M U R' F, which is shorter (and still can be a good second block).

I like your second block, seems tricky. But why not:
U M' F R' F' M' U r

Huh. Those are actually really nice. For the first one, I think I've been trying to avoid M moves during the F2B in favour of r moves, but I looks like I should experiment with them more. For the second one, I just haven't seen it before.

I don't get that SB, it doesn't solve it when I do it. :/

You can think that M as a merge of r' (positioning the edge) and R (preparing the corner to pair up through U R' F). During the F2B I also often do r' R instead of M, because my fingers are just not always prepared for an M move.

His second block is only working if you do Tao Yu's first block

Oh ok, well that's a ridiculously good SB then.

B R' F2 R U2 u F2 (7)
U' r' M U2 B' R B U r' M U R (12)

Yes that is better F2B.
The shortest FB I could find was 8 moves and with bad SB options.
The reason why I kept my long F2B is that it gives me sune with easy L6E.
I wouldn't use delayed-center-fix in a speedsolve unless it is easier than this but it was the shortest solution I could find...

Occasionally I use. I found a speedsolve example in my reconstructed solves. It was a 11.92:
