This thread is for example solves for scrambles that use half turns (R2, L2, F2, B2) except for the U and D moves. This is related Domino reduction from FMC. Try to solve using the restricted moves as well, except for the PLL alg at the end. In cstimer LxMxN > 2x3x3 Domino scrambles can be used. It should be solved with (R2, L2, F2, B2, U, D) moves as well, except for the PLL part can use anything.

First: U' B2 U2 B2 U' F2 L2 R2 U2 F2 B2 R2 L2 U F2 U' F2 B2 R2 U2 L2 U2 F2 U F2

R2 B2 F2 U // red-white block
R2 L2 U' L2 U' L2 U' R2 // orange-white block
x2
(R2 U2 R2 F2)2' // 3cycle
R' U R' U' R' U' R' U R U R2 U' // Ub

(32h)

Next: U' R2 L2 B2 R2 F2 R2 L2 B2 L2 U F2 B2 L2 R2 F2 R2 U L2 B2 F2 U' L2 R2 U
 
F2 U' R2 U // Corners
B2 * U' B2 R2 F2 // 3e
* = B2 R' L U2 R L' // Done

Final Solution: F2 U' R2 U R' L U2 R L' U' B2 R2 F2 (13)

Also @ray5, your last two lines is the same as U' R2 F2 R2 U R2 F2 R2 U. Just 9 moves instead of 20. There's a basic 5e algorithm that goes (R2 F2 R2 U)x2, it can be very useful. :)

Next: R2 L2 B2 U2 F2 R2 U2 F2 B2 R2 B2 F2 R2 U B2 L2 U' R2 U' R2 L2 F2 L2 U' L2

I can't solve from DR for the life of me, so any tips would be appreciated but here we go:
L2 D L2 D L2 // Sort corners
M2 D M2 D' S D2 S' // Sort edges
// Belt happens to be solved so that's nice
D' R2 U R2 U' D' R2 D R2 // CP
S2 U S2 U2 M' U2 M' D M2 D' // EP
// 31 STM

no next so @WoowyBaby's scramble

38 STM
U' L2 D' R2 D R2 D2 //222
L2 U' B2 U B2 L2 //223
U2 L2 U L2 U F' B L2 F B' //F2L
U' R2 U R2 U' R2 U' D R2 U' R2 U R2 D' U //PLL


yeah. no, I'm bad at DR
