Usually you don't count mis scrambles as PB's (as I see you did in your sig); Riley Woo's 3.52 is an extreme example. It's annoying to mis scramble, but in comps it's super important not to for the scramblers.

Lol. It wasnt ridiculous like that much. 5 moves blocks are not that rare, neither is FRUR'U'F', but everything together made it a good solve. I might as well count it to make myself think that if I can sub 9 on a mis-scramble, I can sub 9 on another scramble (that is equally as easy).

what if the mis-scramble is on a random move scramble? it doesn't make much of a difference unless you think random move scrambles aren't legit in general.

I just follow WCA. It keeps things consistent (most people don't count mis scramble PBs I think).

I don't need to use my left index for U with this alg. It's probably too long for me to use, but here's what I would do for fingertricks:

Start with right thumb on U, right index/middle on B (middle isn't really holding onto the cube, it's just resting there), other two fingers on D.

r' - right wrist
U' - left index
r - right wrist
U - left index
r' - right wrist
U' - left index
r - right wrist
U' - left middle
r' - right wrist
U - right index
r - right wrist

Does anyone have a good alg for this case?

http://cube.crider.co.uk/visualcube.php?fmt=gif&size=150&stage=f2b&alg=yRUR'U'RU2R'y'

At the moment I use U' R' U r U2 M r' U' r, which I don't really like.

(U2) M r' U2 R U' r' U R

Seems like a very Roux like approach, but I don't actually do that.

Sorry, I can't spell 'right'. Fixed.

Well, I've decided to play with Roux for a bit. I want to see what the fuss is about and it will be cool to know I can do more than one method

You've been arguing against roux this whole time and never even bothered to try it yourself?

Nice solve! 7+ TPS... I wish I could do that

Same lol... I probably would have done red block on that scramble it looked more appealing...
