I read a post on twistypuzzles where a member managed to solve it. He said it took a "long time" to solve it. Judging by his post it looks like a very hard puzzle.

That was me... this is the thread.

Yes, it was very hard. I've solved it a few more times since then, and it's gotten easier. But no way can I solve it as fast as in that youtube video. I wonder which of us was the first one to solve it? Until I saw that, as far as I knew, nobody else had solved it. Mr. Okamoto, who invented it, said he had no idea how to solve it.

If you could put it into that position, you could just reverse it

Not necessarily, because the sides only move in one or zero directions, so you wouldn't be able to turn back that side.

if you can do a r you can do an r3 and undo it
