How are you this efficient all the time!!??

Don't be impressed. I try many ways. I like doing FMC with the constraint of using a speed method. It's quite fun and some results are interesting, and sometimes I learn something.
Two days ago, I found this amazing 25 moves "Roux" solution.
It's very satisfying.

That's awesome!!
If only my blockbuilding was better...
Your solution is actually Roux but with a lot of influencing. So, no double quotes required.

@Pyjam is Roux good in HTM or only STM for FMC? everyone says it doesn't use a lot of moves but the WCA counts an M moves as 2 moves.
Obviously, anything will be the same or better if you use STM, which is what I usually use, especially with all of the slice moves that are being used today in algs.

47 STM with CFOP, so very efficient by my standards

d R U' R2 U R//First Pair
L' U' L d R' U' R//Second Pair
d R' U2 R//Third pair with a hint of multislotting
U' R U R' U2 R U' R'//Fourth Pair, Super easy f2l overall
r U R' U R U2 r'//OLL
d' R' U L' U2 R U' R' U2 R L//PLL, not the alg I normally use but to keep the solve rotationless
NEXT SCRAMBLE: U2 B' U2 B2 U2 B2 R2 F' U2 L2 R U' L R D B L U' L D2
