The 3x3x3 Example Solve Thread

NEXT : B2 U L2 B2 L2 D2 L2 D' U2 B2 U2 L B' D2 L D2 U R U L2 U

Edges-first is more efficient than CFOP.
At least the edges-first method that I made.
It's actually even more efficient than ZZ or Roux.
(Edit- Unless you're pretty good at ZZF2L or Roux blockbuilding, then it's equal)

Along with that it also has zero algorithms in total.
And it has plenty of nice and ergonomic RUD/LUD moves.
And it requires no block building skills at all.
The list goes on...

Here is my first-try solution, no fmc hax, using Woowy's Edges First:

(y)
U2 R2 F' R L2 D F' // Double EO (7)
r2 F2 D F2 U' D' // All Edges (13)
U' y L D L' U L D' r' // 1st Cycle (21)
y' R' U R D2 R' U' R D2 // 2nd Cycle (29)
R D' R' U R D R' U' // 3rd Cycle (37)
y' z' R U' R' D2 R U R' D2 // Final Cycle (45)

Next: D R2 D U2 L2 F2 D2 L2 B2 U2 F2 L' B2 U' B' F2 L2 R2 D' B

Ummmmmmmmm...okay

Inspection: y (white top, red front)
Cross: Skip
1st Pair: Skip
2nd Pair: Skip
3rd Pair: Skip
4th Pair: L' U2 L U L' U' L
OLL: U R' U' R U' R' U2 R
PLL: R2 U' R U' R U R' U R2 U D' R U' R' D
Next scramble: L R2 U2 F' R2 B2 L2 F' U2 L2 R2 F' D' L F D' F' U' F2 D'
 
Next scramble: L R2 U2 F' R2 B2 L2 F' U2 L2 R2 F' D' L F D' F' U' F2 D'
z y2 // inspection
R u r' U' R' U' R U' R2 y u2 // was going to do waterman but I changed my mind since first layer was so hard
R u R' U R u2 // 223
F' U' F2 R2 F' // EO
R' U2 R U R2 U2 R2 U2 R' U2 R U R' U' R // right block
U2 R U2 R' U' R U' R' // OCLL

This one is for @WoowyBaby :
U2 F D2 F' U2 F' L2 B' L2 U2 B2 D L D' F' L' B2 F R' B F'

Hehe another scramble just for me :D

This is how I'll do it:

D2 L' F D' B' R // EO
U2 F2 L2 U B // DR
U2 L2 * U' F2 U2 R2 // CP
D' R2 L2 F2 D2 // 3E
*= L R' F2 R L' U2

Solution: D2 L' F D' B' R U2 F2 L2 U B U2 L' R' F2 R L' U F2 U2 R2 D' R2 L2 F2 D2 (26)

Next: Pyjam's next scramble; R U2 R F2 D2 L2 B2 R' D2 U2 R2 U' L B' L' D R B2 D F R2
 
Scramble for @WarriorCatCuber (it's a trend now lol): U' L U F2 R' F2 L B2 R2 U' L2 U D' L2 U' F2 R2
Yay!

Petrus:
R U D R U' R' D' // (a waste of a good) 2x2
R' U R' U R U L U2 L' U2 L U' L'// (bad) 223
U R U' R2 U2 R U R U' R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' U' // (horrid) F2L
U R U2 R' U' R U L' U L U2 R' U' L' U2 L U' // (searched up) ZBLL
58 STM, 58 HTM, 65 QTM, 58 ETM

ZZ:
R2 L2 L' U2 R U R U L U L' U' L U L2 U' L' U2 R U' R' U2 R U' R' U2 L' U L U' L' U' L // ZZF2L
U2 y R' U' F R U R' U' R' F U' R F2 R' U F2 R2 // ZBLL
50 STM, 50 HTM,

Next scramble for @PetrusQuber but he's not allowed to use petrus :
U' B2 U2 R2 B R2 B2 F' L2 D2 F D2 U2 L F' U' L' D' L' U B
