Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

Just got this from cstimer:
F2 U' F2 D B2 L2 B2 L2 F D2 B2 U B' D B2 L F2 D2

3 free and easily preserved pairs for CFOP. Though I couldn't get the rest of the solve to be very easy so I just got 11.33. With a xxxcross like that I'm ashamed it wasn't sub-10 lol

EDIT: found a much better solution than what I did originally (I guess not technically xxxcross, more like freeFOP:

z2 y
R D L y U2 L' U L U2 D R U' R' D U r U2 r' U' M' U M
L F' L' U' L U F U' L'
y' R2 U' R' U' R U R U R U' R

kite kite and no parity wut

pb and also extremely lol fb and sb.
Second 6 ever and also today. If I hadn't it would be a pb by about a second.

F2 L2 B2 L U2 L' D2 F2 R B2 D' B' D2 L' D U B U2 F

While doing OH blue cross I accidentally made a 3 move FB...
x2 y D L F//FB

After the solve I played around and found this nice SB
r' U R U2 R r U R'//SB

 

[TDM]

After the solve I played around and found this nice SB
r' U R U2 R r U R'//SB

It continues on nicely too:

R' F' R U2 R' F2 R U' F U F' // CMLL (11-2 = 9/20)
U2 M' U M' U' M2 U M2 // LSE (8/28)

E: Another scramble with a short Roux solution.

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

x' L' D2 F' U' B // FB (5/5)
U' R U2 R2 U' R' U2 R' U R U2 (R' M') U' R // SB (14/19) (CMLL skip)
M2 U' r' F R U M' U' R' F' R // 4a (setup 4b) (11/30)
M2 // 4b (1/31)
U' // 4c (1/32)

Is there anything easy about this scramble F' L2 F2 D' B2 L' F2 D L F' L2 B' R2 U2 F D2 F U2 B2 R2?
I am asking this because i got my pb (14.904) on this scramble and I am still trying to figure out why!

During a speedsolve, it's usually the way you do your first steps that will give you a skip or an easy case. Also, what method were you using?

Well i started in the green cross got an x cross and 2 free f2l pairs. Oh by the way I use CFOP.

I know it's more efficient and all but
->reduction to 2gen
->doesn't do the rest 2gen

Just got an insane 2x2 scramble: U' R2 U' R' F2 R U2 F U' one layer and face done for you, oll is same as cll just 10 moves but I got a catch so I got 3.07s.

 

[WACWCA]

Lol I did LEG-1 on every solve during normal practice
1. R2 U' F' R2 U2 F R2 U' F
2. U' R2 U R' F' U' R U' F2
3. U2 F R2 F U F U2 F2 R2
4. F U2 R' F U' R2 U F2 U2
5. F' R F2 R' F U2 R2 F U'

y2 x' F' R' D2 R2 D' R B//XXcross

This was a feet solve so there were more rotations and stuff in reality

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

y2 x' F' R' D2 R2 D' R B//XXcross

This was a feet solve so there were more rotations and stuff in reality

y2 x' F' R' D2 R2 D' R B// XX-cross (7/7)
y U' R' U2 R U' R' U R // 3rd Pair (8/15)
U' R U R' U' R U y R U' R' U' F' // 4th Pair + EO (12/27)
R' U2 R' D' R U2 R' D R2 U2 // ZBLL (10/37)

You can also cancel into OLL(CP) and from there cancel into PLL like this:

y2 x' F' R' D2 R2 D' R B// XX-cross (7/7)
y U' R' U2 R U' R' U R // 3rd Pair (8/15)
U' R U R' U R (U R') // 4th Pair (8-2/21)
(R U) U R2 F R F' R U2 (R') // OLL (10-3/28)
(R) R U' R' U' R U R U R U' R // PLL (12-1/39)

Not sure if that is how you are supposed to write cancellations, but I would guess the point came across.

I just got a 6.78 on this and I average low 20...
(0, -1)/(-3, 3)/(4, -5)/(5, -4)/(3, 0)/(-2, -3)/(6, 0)/(3, 0)

(3, 0)/
