    I used to know my dot OLLs, but I've forgotten it, and just use sledge for EO, should I learn the dot cases?

    In the case where you use an algorithm for a final pair. Obviously you could find where it's paired and add/change the moves to be sledgeabble but still.

    I think if you're dedicated enough you can use 2 algs that do/don't mess with EO, for example:

    In the attached image there is the case where you need to use an alg, the top alg in the three messes with EO, and the second one doesn't, (shockingly) so I personally use those interchangeably.

    But it's kinda annoying to have 2 algs-

    Funky scramble with a kinda half solved cross, 3 pieces in place, but blue and green is swapped, I solved the cross by adding the last piece to the cross, then doing a M2 U2 M2 to fix the blue and green edges. How would you do it?

    Scramble: L' U2 B2 L D2 L' F2 D2 R' D2 B' L2 U2 R' D2 U2 B2 U' F2.

    I sledged the free pair, inserted the last cross edge, keyholed two pairs, M2 U2 M2, then solved last pair.

    I also inserted the free pair after solving the cross, should've said that in my original post.

    The scramble I put in the original post but better, I came across it naturally, and I had crap execution of it all.

    I just got a scramble with a solved blue cross.. sad thing I'm not color neutral...

    On cases like this I would recommend just doing the other cross even if you're not neutral.

    I disagree imo, your F2L and LL recog will suffer from it. Instead, try to use the solved blue edges to make some xcross for white/yellow or something

    Fair, although I think LL should be same recognition.

    I've been getting back into cubing, and my times are 25-35, and I just got a sub 20 with this scramble: F2 U F2 L2 R2 D B2 R2 D L2 B2 F2 L' F2 D' B2 U2 F D' F2 U

    I can't recreate the solve- but I know it was along the lines of do cross but with a variant of D (or not..?) then f2l,, then pi, then J perm (non reversed)

    My skill for figuring out what's in my blind spots aren't the best so I'm trying to do some slow solves to help with that.

    During CFOP F2L, with the final pair made, insertable via URU'R'/U'L'UL or sledge, and there are no edges oriented, is it better to just sledge or 2(U2 Sledge)?

    I think they mean do U2 R' F R F' U2 R' F R F' or U2 sledge U2 sledge
    n0nco
    n0nco
    Yes, what Curunír said is what I mean't by 2(U2 Sledge), U2 L/R Sledge U2 L/R Sledge, AKA U2 R' F R F' U2 R' F R F'/U2 L F' L' F U2 L F' L' F, which solves all edges.

    If you use 2-look OLL, then it doesn't make a huge difference in terms of time. You could go for that if it works for you, or just sledge your last pair and do the 2-look OLL. If you use full OLL, then just insert your last pair how you would normally(if dot cases are typically worse, sledge your last pair)

    Not good with managing my time so I'm trying to limit youtube

    Man, I watch YT all day too. I just can't stop it. Since it's vacation, I've been waaay more than usual. I wonder why...

    I just generally do it all the time, I don't really have many things I do weekly, (3; I'm working on it!) so I have 4 days to spend doing whatever I want, and I don't particularly spend it well.
