I think I just found a good green cross scramble, I am a white cross though so I don't know much.
Scramble: L D2 B' R2 F R2 D' R B2 D' R2 F2 U D2 F2 D F2 R2 B2 R
Cross looks easy, and there is also a first pair made.
Tell me what times you can get on this solve especially if you can do green cross.
My time is 26.462, and I average about 23 seconds, and I wasn't able to preserve the pair.
I got a 23.261 on the same scramble white cross though.

Got this wonky scramble:

F U2 F2 U' R2 F U' R U' L2 U2 B2 U' B2 U' F2 D F2 B'

My solution:
z2 // inspection
L' // pseudo-cross
R U' R2 U R // F2L-1
F U' F' // F2L-2
L F L' // finish cross
R U R' U R U' R // F2L-3
L U2 L' U L U' L' // F2L-4
U2 F' L' U' L U F // OLL

Ended up being a 9.23, should have been a low 8 or even a high 7 but I locked up terribly during OLL because I got excited after recognizing the skip. I got a 5.01 on it later after practicing the solution a couple times. Technically, the F2L was extremely sub-optimal: the first R move for the second pair was completely unnecessary, and there was another free pair on the right after the second pair that I probably should have inserted before finishing the cross. But both of those lead to extremely gross LL cases so I'm going to pretend that I did what I did because it was optimal in the long run and not because I didn't see those.
