Since when is it forbidden to do FMC with STM ? It is just, unfortunately, not the way the WCA does it.
BTW, the following alg is also relatively short and more finger-trickable, and works for domino as well:
U L2 U' (L2 F2)^3 U L2 U'

My pet peeve of long dreary youtube tutorials drove me to make this s***:
Totally useless and ununderstandable or after a couple times watching you can undeerstand?

I think it was pretty good for a video in 2 min.

I dont want to make a new thread so I thought I will post it here.
So instead of just doing OLS we could first orient the edges in the 3rd f2l slot and then do CLS. I dont know if its good or not but its just an idea.
I know that my explanation is pathetic.

A Partial EO cross
I have not heard of anyone using this, so I thought it is worth mentioning. When I don't see a really good x-cross, I look for a good cross and its 4 f2l edges orientations.Then, I make them all good during my cross. Since I only care about fixing a small amount of edges, it normally takes only one or two extra moves at most for an easy f2l stage(and I know where all of my edges are). It’s like a ZZ/CFOP hybrid that only cares about the edges needed for F2l. In my opinion, this is easier to see than an eo-line and sometimes better than an X-cross. Here are 2 example solves to scrambles I just generated. What are your opinions about this type of cross?
Example 1
Scramble

Inspection y x’ all edges are good so i keep them that way
R2 U2 L2 R U’R’ U’ F' Partial EO cross(8)
U’ L’ U L pair 1 (12) cancelation
L U’ L’ R’ U’R pair 2 (17)

U2 R U R’ F’ R U2 R’ U2 R’ F R U R U2 R’ PLL (58)
Example 2
Scramble
U2 F' B2 R' D U2 R2 U D B R2 U' R F' B2 L D2 R' F2 D2 R2 U2 D2 L' B2

It's been discussed plenty of times in the past. The general consensus is this: it sucks. Don't bother with it.

Where and Why? I'm honestly interested

Why: because edges oriented f2l takes a bunch more moves than edges not oriented f2l, even if you count rotations as moves. In addition, the <R, U, L> movegroup is not a 'good' movegroup simply because some good algs happen to be <R, U, L>. I much prefer <R, U, y>, and I think the general consensus is that it's better.
Where: there are some stats available for EOCross+f2l movecount, ignoring U layer edges should only make your EOCross one or two moves better on average.

Pretty cool, but ULUR explanation was a bit lacking imo.
