2x2: R U2 R2 U' F2 R2 U2 F' R2 U' R

One move face and oll.

damn! I got the same kinda thing, a one move first face and an easy CLL.
U2 F' R F' R2 F2 U2 R' U'

solution:
y' //inspection
L' //green face
F R U R' U' R U R' U' F' //CLL

Edit: adding more

F U' F2 U R2 F U R' U'
First layer already solved

F' U2 R U2 F' U' R U' R2
Solution:
y' z' // inspection
U R2 U' R U // Red face
was gonna put red on bottom but never mind
y R2 U' R2 U2 y R2 U' R2 // pbl

Also, 100th post!

Easy scramble, managed to look ahead to first pair and the rest of F2L was super easy too.

Also awesome because I could use a ZBLL. Recognition took 3 seconds tho

I'd been doing Roux before this, so my lookahead was awful...

x2 // Inspection
L2 R' [U' D'] F // X-Cross (4/4)
U' R' U R // F2L-2 (4/8)
d R U' R' // F2L-3 (4/12)
U2 F U' F' U2 L' U' L // F2L-4 (8/20) (Thinking things like 'oh hey look it's a pure OLL' distracts me during solves...)
OLL, PLL.

Dang it now I have to find a good 1LLL for that.
 
whenever I do a Roux session, I always get really good CFOP scrambles

A lot of connected pairs for bottom cross, but while fooling around with it I found a fun cross-on-left solution.

x' // inspection
U F L2 U F2 L // xcross
U' R' U // pair 2
D R' D' x R D R' D' // pair 3
x R2 U R2 U' R2 U R' U' // pair 4

Fixed. Also, you could do the first pair as L' U L2 U' L' (you could write it as (L' U L) (L U' L') if that makes it clearer how it works).

E: too slow

I don't know why I did it that way, I would probably normally do the L' U L2 U' L', but for some reason I did it like that, and if i did the 1st pair like that, I wouldn't have got the PLL skip. (4.77) TPS.
Also, I am slow :p
