Critique my PB!

[BECubed]

Hey guys, I just got a PB single of 6.96 and I want some tips. Reconstruction is provided below.

Scramble:
B' R2 U2 F R2 U2 B R2 U2 F D2 L' U' L2 B2 D' F2 L2 R2 F2

y2 R' U R' F2 D' //CROSS
U' R' U R //F2L-2
y' U2 R U' R' U R U R' //F2L-3
y R U2 R' U' R U R' //F2L-4
U l' U' L U R U' r' F // OLL
U l' R' D2 R U R' D2 R U' R // PLL

more like impossible to critique your pb

The x-cross and is great; short and fairly finger-trick friendly. But after you solve the 2nd pair, you miss an opportunity to cancel into the next one. How I would've executed it was do the same x-cross, but instead do " U' R' U R2 U2 R' U2 R U' R' ", for the 2nd and 3rd f2l pairs. It's less moves and saves you a rotation. Doing that would change the rest of the solve, so what I would do from there is:
y' R U' R' U R U' R' U2 R U R' //f2l 4
Then it's just anti-sune and a j-perm for oll and pll, making the solve mostly 2gen and able to be executed quickly

Hope this helps!

U l' U' L U R U' r' F // OLL
U l' R' D2 R U R' D2 R U' R // PLL

an easy ZBLL for this case from the same angle is r U2 L D2 L' U2 L D2 r' L'

The thing about this is that a PB is much better than a regular solve, and you don't make the kinds of mistakes you normally do. It's probably more beneficial just too ask to critique more average solves, so you can see and fix the mistakes you make normally. However, I would like to ask, why didn't you use an OLL alg like r U R' U' r' F R F'?

He did the mirror.

Either way I got an A-Perm,and for me the mirror is decently fast, so why do a U2 do the alg U' and A-Perm?

Thanks!
