Damn, couldn't find any good ending for that! That is my best:

Me neither... What's JJLSE?

Or you could do an 11 move PLL, but this is what I'd do in a speedsolve (this was my first solution... I should've timed it).

Not working.
 
Fixed. Two mistakes, during pair preserving (wrong rotation) and during F2L-3 (wrong AUF before).

I failed the second block, but I found that trying to reconstruct it, and I though that would be more worth posting. Especially as the normal OCLL was CMLL... and the LSE was 12 moves.

Thanks, but the only ones I post are the ones worth posting :p Most of my blocks are horrible. I probably rotate more during my first block than I do in an entire CFOP solve. If I ever uploaded a video (unlikely with me unable to find a decent angle, and it being too much effort) you could see just how little you would say "nice solutions"...
When you use LSE tricks like that, assuming this is another one you don't use in speedsolves, do you know these cases or do you look them up?

Looking them up or playing around finding an EO which influences UL/UR. In almost all cases there is a nice solution which combines Step1 and Step2, but it's not easy to see/find it. I have a few tricks in speedsolve solutions too, but not that much.

I see. I have a lot to learn about Roux, especially influencing 4b/4c. I guess I'll slowly learn them through practise and slow solves; when I'm not near a timer I'll almost always use Roux (and half the time when I'm near one too), so hopefully I can learn some of it quite quickly.

PLL would be R U R' F' r U R' U' r' F R2 U' R' in a speedsolve, but I wrote it as that for FMC. No warmup; this time could have been so much better.
