Fixed that for you.

I cannot suggest you anything useful on the moves (at least not for a speedsolve). So I call that a good one.

Oh, sorry thx for fix, try to become better fm in next scrmble speedsolve is normal, but bad lookahead, theory is normal but with fm bad, i must learn blockbuilding tips and work for second block..and so thanks for the misoriented centers, very interesting

Slightly more efficient than at full speed, still a bad move count though. At least I remembered to include the rotations at the start this time.

Not soo bad for such a long CMLL (i would prefer R' U' R U' R' U2 R2 U R' U R U2 R')

 

[TheOneOnTheLeft]

I've tried that one but I'm not a huge fan of the R2 in the middle - I might switch once I get better at lefty U2. I do think movecount without alg steps is a more useful measure, considering alg speed is not solely dependent on movecount, and it seems rare to influence CMLL case in Roux, so including it obfuscates how efficient one is actually being.

 

[pewpewrawr]

:O Nobody said anything about my weird ending, I thought I was committing roux-blasphemy.
I'm just going to assume that means everyone was so blown away by my awesomeness, they didn't even know how to react.
Thanks everyone. ^^
