My average is 14-15ish with Roux, and I got a 10.42 with this, and there was like a 1 second freeze! I skipped not just CMLL, but the edge orientation step too. Furthermore, it could have been an awesome short F2L+COLL, only 26 moves!

Scramble: D F' U R2 B' U' F2 L' B R U2 R F2 R2 F2 R' D2 L

The CFOP variant, 34-move solution:

2/3 of green side is done on this scramble : F' B' L' D' R2 F' U2 B2 R' B R2 U2 L2 F2 U2 D2 R2 B' U2

 

[Sub20Soon]

Almost all the E slice is done on this scramble : F' B' L' D' R2 F' U2 B2 R' B R2 U2 L2 F2 U2 D2 R2 B' U2.If you are using or knowing a method that starts with this, this is a very good scram.
