It took me a while to reconstruct this one because the L2 at the start was unnecessary.
2nd time around I found this which is decent, but I had to re-find ^ that one

From Pyjam's scramble
-Roux with non-matching blocks, 30 STM. Saw solved non-matching SB and had to take it.

U' R' U' R' F R F' R U' R' U2 R//CMLL
M2 U' M2 U' R//LSE


GalaxyCubes5's scramble
-Roux, 31 STM. CMLL skip but a really weird F2B. Also tried new LSE technique, need to develop further.

34 moves, better than my best FMC result and this only took me 5 minutes :(

New FMC best? That's awesome! Nice lucky F2L pairs with 2x2x2/X-Cross start. What was your previous best result?
