LSE:

or:

or:

Thanks, this just made me realize how bad I am at 4b xD. I think I'll start focusing on lse more when I practice.

edit: po'd that I could have had sub-50 move count and didn't see it tho.

U R' U F2 // left pair (4)
U M2 U' Rw U2 R' //right pair (6) --> Rw instead of R to get a better LSE and U' Rw U2 instead of U2 Rw U' to get T-CMLL

M2 U' M' U' M U' M2 U' M2 // LSE (9)

I feel like I wasted so many moves on the LSE even though it was a bad case. Help in that area would be appreciated.

you had to turn U' instead of U to pair UL/UR at DF/UF.
In this case it only save 2 moves, but in general you should regard this

I'm going to be specific! :)

R' u2 // L square [2]
F R2 F // first block [3/5]
r' U r U' R' //R square [5]
U' R' U' r U2 M r' U' r // second block [9/19]
U' R U R' U R U2 R' U' R U' L' U R' U' L // CMLL [16/35]
M U M' U' M U M U// EO + UL UR edges [8]
M2 U2 M U2 M // EP [5/48]

48 STM. The second block and CMLL killed it.

My CMLL for this case: U' R U2 R' U' R U R' U2' R' F R F'
.. and you get an EO-skip

first and second blocks are good. for the cmll, i use: F' U' L' U L2 F L' U2 L' U2 L.

For second block try: r' U L F' R2 U M U M2 U r

Now it's basically identical to my solve lol.

Not working for me. Something wrong in the SB.

Nice one. I use x' D R2 U' R' U R U' R2' D' R U Lw'.
