Uh, what.

I don't really see anything...

 

[Phillip1847]

I don't really see anything...

did you scramble cross up..?

 

[Bindedsa]

did you scramble cross up..?

Drew uses yellow and white cross, so yes he probably did. that being said. I see that 3/4 white corner pieces are oriented and connected to one of their corresponding cros pieces, doesn't seem very "Uh, What.", though.

I got a 14.68 sec solve pretty good scramble and easy

What I should have done (found attempting to reconstruct):
x2 // Inspection (cross skip)
U R U L U L' U' R' // F2L-1 making OB pair easier (8/8)
U' L' U L U L' U' L // F2L-2 (8/16)
d' R U2 R' // F2L-3 preserving CO (4/20)
U2 y' l F' R U' R' U l' // F2L-4 (8/28)
U' F' L' U' L U L' U' L U F // OLLCP (11/39)
U2 M2 U' M2 U' M' U2 M2 U2 M' // EPLL (10/49)

What I did:
x2 // Inspection (cross skip)
U R U L U L' U' R' // F2L-1 making OB pair easier (8/8)
U' R U' R' U2 L' U' L // F2L-2 (8/16)
(removed AUF spam) U R U R' U2 y L' U L // F2L-3 (8/24)
y L' U L U L' U L U' L' U L // F2L-4 (11/35)
U' R U2 R' U' R U' R2 U2 R U R' U R // COLL (14/49)
U' M2 U M U2 M' U M2 // EPLL (8/57)

57/11.56 = 4.93 TPS

Also, a 2x2 scramble: 98. 1.53 R' U' R U' R' U2 R2 F'

In retrospect, I have no idea why I posted that.
Never happened to me, probably why.

Thanks! I really hate that F2L case; it's one of my worst. It's not too bad, unless I'm trying to preserve EO (or avoiding a dot OLL).

Easy cross, saw first f2l during inspection, OLL skip, T-perm = 13.80
could have been a lot better. I can't seem to reconstruct this solve
all I remember is choosing white cross instead of yellow

Easy scramble for 2x2: R F U F U2 R' F' U' R'

y x R2 U R' U' R' F R F' U'

Got 2.64 cause didn't expect it to be easy

Aaand another nice 2x2 scramble: U2 R' F' U2 F R U' R' U'

U' R y R U R' U2

Got 2.39

I included the mirror of the first since I use an alternate execution rather than the 'direct' mirror, and the second alg is super fast and RFU-gen. Just mirror the rest to LU or use the BR slot.

Thanks to crider for his alg translator tool that makes generating those images fast and easy.
