So much rage, an excellent start for me, but i have no idea how to deal with the corner twists in relatively few moves.

Take 2 - Same first 25 moves

Great start for me, really meh finish. If only the corners were better.

Good stuff going on!
Some of you should definately participate in the FMC event of the weekly comp.

Rpotts, great that you got into commutators, they are a great way to end your solve.
And in this thread and the FMC comp you have time to look for good places to insert them earlier in the solution, cancelling some moves.
For a great write up on commutators you should check out the BH tutorial thread in the BLD section.

I'm sure that if the regular contributers to this thread would work with comm insertions there could be a lot of low 30's.

BTW: no guesses for the method of my long solution?

I'll do it, haven't checked the scramble yet so I hope i can find something, lol.

Cubenovice - pseudo 2x2x2 U' F2 U'
rpotts - pseudo 2x2x3 U' L2 U R' B' R D2 L D'

I feel like such a nub, I couldn't find anything shorter, one move cancels.
