The 3x3 F2L Example Thread

[ILCubing]

This thread is for the purpose of from your cube being scrambled to having the F2L solved. The LL does not need to be finished in this thread. With this thread, it has the purpose of having people see how different people solve different F2L cases.
This thread is basically for F2L and that is it.
I think I put this thread in the right category, but let me know if this is the wrong one.

what is that cross solution

 

[ILCubing]

I KNOW RIGHT

what is that cross solution

I'm way more efficient now

good or else i would have spammed your profile posts with how to get better at cross

I think you meant to say z2 for inspection?
Anyway, this thread is fun so I will do my next one:
Scramble: F' L' U2 F' U D2 B' R2 D' R' F2 L2 U2 F2 U2 R' U2 F2 L U2 F2

Next scramble: L2 F' D F2 U2 F2 D L2 B2 F2 U' L2 R2 B' L U' L2 R B R2 (btw I got a PLL skip on this next scramble, should I show you the solution?)

ok if that’s what you want

Yay! Thank you!
Now I might consider learning it for 2 minutes before deciding I'm too lazy
