I would have done exactly like trangium:

@Pyjam I challenge you to use the Mehta method and get a sub 40 movecount on your next solve
some info about it

I'm pretty sure this is my lowest move count ever for a speed solve.

Method: Started block building expecting to do CFOP/FreeFOP but it became more of a Roux solve.
I'd love feedback on anything (FB, SB, 4c...). 8 moves for FB is unusually good for me.

44 STM (CP skip helped)

U B2 //Square 2/6

EDIT: Since all of my posts require moderator approval, my solves never make it into the thread quickly enough. When does this restriction get lifted?

I have no doubt it's a promising method but I have no desire to learn a new alg set (or two).

Anyway...

Good method.

Is that some VLSEP? Is that even an alg set? either way, that was an incredible solve.

It's an alg I built for the occasion.
It's not in speedcubedb F2L-34
It would be an extension of CLS with disoriented edges (216 cases with the last corner on U with this orientation).

U R U2 f R' f' U' R'

For hardcore speedcubers only.
