My first time solving a cube in months!!

D F2 B2 // Blocks and stuff
U' D' F2 L2 B2 D' // Basically done and stuff

Lol I just got 28 with like no effort, this was literally the first thing I tried on this scramble found in like a minute and I haven't even touched a cube in multiple months at this point lol nice, I still got this in me haha

Please come back to FMC when comps start again. I'm tired of every good solve being "EO,DR,HTR,finish=22" these days. Missing your crazy convoluted solves!

Haha
I want to spend all the time I can learning and improving my Japanese rn so, sorry to disappoint you, probably not doing any more cubing, this will probably just be a one time thing.
And to disappoint you once again, but that solve was kind of just EO,DR,HTR,finish=28, not gonna lie.
The solve was a little bit more complicated than that, I will admit that it was more than that, however you could call it a 5/8/9/6 eo/dr/htr/finish splits
Thanks anyway ^_^

I'm gonna try another solve- I'll put off my Anime watching/Japanese study for later haha

@sqAree Is this what you were meant when you said "Crazy convoluted solves"? Haha

That was pretty good- A super weird solve that somehow got 22 lol

Let's solve with Roux method.
Here the slice moves counts and the quarter-slice moves are also an important benchmark for me
