9.78 Super lucky scramble! : F' U2 B U2 F' D2 F U2 L2 F' U2 D' R2 F2 L U B' L' B2 F'

Really easy OLL with some not so easy PLL.

I really was not thinking of rotations in that scramble because I almost choked the solve as soon as I see the easy cross and 2 free F2L pairs.

You could've saved a few rotations with Dw instead of y U' or similar.

I was just doing PLL training on chao timer on iPhone. Lol they gave me a PLL skip I guess to test my recognition?? Haha best PLL time of my life. PLL WR?!?! Kidding

good 2x2, amazing 2x2x3, 6 bad edges (I think?), free pair that when inserted gives another free pair, and J perm. Of course this was the scramble I was slow solving on. Anyway, can someone help me reconstruct?

I think this is all correct.

This has literally no pairs on the whole cube lmao and the 1-move pairs possible make horrible 2x2x2 blocks.

What colors were your block?

I'm pretty sure it was RYB. Updated the my original post. The reason you couldn't find any good 2x2x2s was that my pair was sub-par. Also, I remember that when the corner-edge pair for 2x2x3 was made, the 1x2x2 could be made with just one move becuase the edge needed for the 1x2x2 was already in place.
UPDATE: I'm think that this is all correct:

He uses CFOP, that's obviously why he specifically detailed each step of Petrus...

imo this is a really awkward solution. a y' rotation for your start would give you <R,U,L,F> for your xcross and second pair (it's not a xxcross) and puts them on your two right-hand slots instead of the two front slots.

Try not to use so many weird rotations. Try to keep your blocks on the bottom, like you're building F2L with blocks instead of pairs.

I think a few of the rotations just made it simpler to reconstruct (my actual 2x2x3 was rotationless) but I do need to work on rotations.

Man, you get a lot of really good scrambles! I bet if I got a good ZZ one I would be able to sub 10. Sadly, I only have a 10.8 atm, and I failed a sub 20 oh the other day.

If you get a free pair, don't put "XXCross but sorta XCross". If the pair is already inserted, it's an XCross, if not, it's just your first pair that happens to be easy

I didn't even know how to solve in ZZ and also, I solved the last layer in one look which is in common to ZZ's 1LLL thing...

you didn't do EO-Cross, still 2 unoriented edges after cross
also I wouldn't consider 6 unoriented edges s a lucky scramble


PLEASE just stop posting stupid solves that are lucky or whatever, this thread is for lucky, funny, hard or weird SCRAMBLES

No, that’s not a good ZZ solve. 6 bad Edges are usually the most annoying case. I even looked on red/orange front yellow top and there’s still 6 bad edges their, so no.

@fun at the joy is right, a better place to post this kind of thing is the reconstruction thread.
