Ah, yes (though I think you got it slightly wrong). It's quite interesting to see when/how he does it. And yeah, I reconstructed the one-handed one now as well, it's indeed similar (but a different alg).

That's the best cube trick I've seen so far, and I'm not surprised it's done by someone who's actually a good speedcuber. Well done, Steven Brundage.

Maybe like this for F2L (WCA orientation, white cross):

I solve my cross on white, and scramble using WCA regulations (white on top, green in front)

It's easier to scramble with your hands, just saying

Why didn't you solve the blue-red pair earlier? You could have had this:

y
D' R' F L' B L D2
y U2 R U R'
U L' U L
L U L' R' U' R
y' U' F U F' U2 L' U L
y' U2 F R U R' U' F'

36 moves, or 35 with cancellation
