Great F2B on Roux, great xxcross on CFOP. I actually got this a while ago, it's my PB single (12.82).

What was your solution? After the 4 move xx-cross I didn't see anything too good, I only got 7.93 on it, it should have been faster.

L2 D2 B R'//cool
y U' R U' R' U2 R' U R//F2l3
U2 R U' R' U' R U' R' U R U' R'//yucky pair

now you have a decent LL which I assume many people know the alg for (I don't), or you can just fat antisune J perm

Don't know a good alg for this OLL (currently mirroring the alg for the mirror case), so I don't know if the continuation from here is good or not.

Probably the coolest cross+F2L I've seen in a long time. This deserved a LL skip or a great 1LLL/ZBLL case to finish the solve, but the OLL case is one of the ugliest :)
I currently do this OLL as:
U2 (AUF) F' L' U' L U F (lefty T-OLL case) + R U R' U' R' F R F' (sexy-sledge, the "other" T-OLL case). In this case this leaves you with a Y-perm + U' AUF so a pretty lengthy LL

I know this is more like a special 2L OLL than a 1L alg per se but I didn't find anything better (maybe I didn't search that much, TBH).
Anybody knows of something better? I mean for the OLL alg, not for this LL in particular.

From algdb.net: r' D' r U' r' D r2 U' r' U r U r'. Much better than my L2 U L' F' L U' L2 U L F L'. However, you get an F perm on this scramble.

Even better LL.

Both are nice but I have to try them out. Yours is shorter but will need some good fingertricks for those Fs and the r' D'... one probably flows nicely but it's just 1 move shorter than my OLL combo.

I have good enough fingertricks for the right-handed version of that case, but I can't mirror them, and my execution is awful.

That first alg is amazing though. I might actually learn that... maybe. It's not too hard to learn either. It even solve the same LL case too, which is good for recognition (but bad for alternate OLLCPs).

Yeah, I would like to use mirrors for the two cases so, yeah, it looks like the right handed version could be just fine. I will try that as well.

What I don't get is what you mean by "It even solve the same LL case too". You mean both yours and algbd algs make the same EP+CP while solving OLL?

Yep, even though they're very different algs.
