The corners first "example solve" game

F2 L U L2 F2 D2 F' L2 U2 L2 U2 B' R2 B L B' R B L2 D B

If Roux qualifies as a corner first method, then there was this 35-move solution:

F U R2 F' D' U' B // (7) FB
R' U' M' U' R' U' r2 U' R2 // (9/16) SB
M U F R' F' R U2 R U2' R' // (10/26) CMLL

Roux qualifies according to the wiki.

And, for once, you're the one forgetting the scramble lol.

I feel sad after that solve

For your last slot, and the continuation:

And, for once, you're the one forgetting the scramble lol.

Nope, because I hadn't solved the last scramble yet.
See above.

Solution with Waterman Method:
x2 B' U' F' r' U r R2 U R' U R D' F M F' M' // first face - 1 edge (16 STM)
U' L' B L B' U2 B' U2 B // Waterman CLL
z M2 U M' U' // first redge

r U' M' U // Last ledge
M2 U' M' U2 M' U' // last redge + orient midges
U2 M' U2 M2 L2 // permute Midges

My solution!

it's 54 STM because I did not do the first layer good... any tips there?

1rst layer : Try finding easy pairs at first. Here was my solution : x2 u B' R U' R U R2' U' F2 U' F (11 STM)
CLL : May try doing the alg from a different angle to avoid B moves. You could of done : U2 F' L F L' U2 L' U2 L. Same moves, better fingertricks.
First redge : I would have done z R2 U M2 U', but your's was the same amout of moves, so your's was just as good.
Second and third redge : Umm what was that? Did you learn an alg? I would have done r2 U M2 U' r' U M U' R2 U' M2 U, which is intuitive and solves the ledge at the same time, but ok.
Last ledge : Generally, you want to solve this at the same time as the third redge, but what you did was good, since all 3 redges were solves.
Last redge + midge orientation : Good, I don't know these algs, so this was well done. The only thing I can find is that you could have done U as the last move to save a move during midge permutation.
Midge permutation : Good, I generally prefer doing r2 over L2, but it's your choice.

Overall, great work! I'm glad to see you're improving!
Too see an example solve, look below!
