Ao5 critique?

[vetbaitednevada]

here is an ao5 of mine, was wondering if anyone could critique?
18.49 L' U R2 B2 L2 D2 B2 D B2 R2 U' R2 F' D' R D2 L2 F U2 F2 U'
15.38 D2 F2 R2 F2 L B2 F2 R F2 R B2 D' L2 F' R2 D' F' L' U2 L2
16.94 U2 R2 D2 L2 R B2 F2 D2 F2 R B2 R' F D' L F' U2 L B2 R
15.56 U2 B2 D' L2 R2 D2 R2 F2 D B2 U2 L U2 F' U2 F2 R' U' F L U'
16.81 U' R2 F2 R' D2 L U2 F2 L' U2 L2 D2 R' B U B2 F D2 R F2 R'


i have 3 messages which have been 'waiting for moderator approval' for like 4 hours so here are the crosses
cross 1: z2 R2 U2 F L F D'
cross 2: y' z2 D' R' D' L2
cross 3: y z2 L2 D' R' u L u2
cross 4: y2 z2 D' U2 R' u L B D2
cross 5: y' z2 L' D' R' F' U' F' F U' F' L D, screwed this one up

i would recommend u making ur last layer recognition better and that u TRACE ur first pair while doing your cross to reduce pauses (this does not eliminate them)

 

[vetbaitednevada]

thanks, i'll try that. currently my recognition for some olls is slow because i just recently finished up learning full oll, but even the ones i know could definitely be faster to recognize as well as pll. i hadn't been thinking about tracing first pair during cross, i'll try that when i solve, thanks! did my f2l solutions generally seem good? i recently learned the trick for inserting misoriented edge pair with wide f moves and im not sure if i overuse it atm.

Id say to work on coming up with a better cross solution and angle, they arent the worst, but can use a tiny bit of work
my crosses:
1- green center= R2 U2 F L F D' (6)
2- from orange center= D' U' R' F2 D' (5)
3- red front= F L' U2 LF' L2 U'B2 D2 (9)
4- Blue front= F' D2 U' R' F D' R' D (8)
5- Red front= L' D U' L' U2 L' [U2] B R' (9) [U2 preserves the BR pair to be an easy 7 move solution.]
Id also reccomend dual neutrality at the least, because there isnt very bad yellow crosses on the scrambles
Would you mind telling me what you did for your crosses? (i cant see them in the photo, your arm covers the cube)

Spoiler: disclaimer

I will piece the solves together when i get home, but the cross seems like a big issue for a lot of people, so sorry for the face value stuff

 

[vetbaitednevada]

Thanks for the advice, I will try to reconstruct my crosses, I should be able to in maybe an hour
