TPS pb I think also wow I think that was my first sub-10 x2/y2 neutral solve.

Alternative LBlock:
F' r' U' R2 F (5 moves instead of 6)
or:
F2 U2 F r' F (5 moves instead of 6)

Alternative RBlock:
M' U' (r M') U' r' (6 moves instead of 12)
or:
r U' M2 U' r' (5 moves instead of 12)

Also, these leed to an antisune CMLL.

This was a speedsolve solution, which is why my first block sucked... but that's a really nice way of doing the second block. Thanks for those algs; I get that case all the time and hate it.

For LSE, I would do:
U2 M' U' M' U2 M' U' M // 8/36
U' M2 U' // 3/39
M2 U2 M2 // 3/42

Is it because of better lookahead that you went for that solution, or do you just prefer to do that EO that way because there are more M's rather than Ms and got luckier than I did?

Is it because of better lookahead that you went for that solution, or do you just prefer to do that EO that way because there are more M's rather than Ms and got luckier than I did?

It's simply because I adjust the wrong edges to UB/UR when I have two adjacent bad edges on top (because of fingertricks, more M' moves). It is pure luck that in this case it leads to a shorter solution.

Your solution is just as good in a speedsolve.

Fixed that for you.

You wrote F R U R' U' F' instead of F (R U R' U')2 F' as CMLL.

Edit: strange first block. For the same colors, I would use:
r U r' M u R' B M U x'
and then the second block:
R' U R U' M' U' R U R U' r U R'

Not timed, because I can't for the life of me remember my solutions. But trying to do what I think I would have done at speed.

Me neither. I can only remember if it was a very easy solution...
