The Roux "Example Solve" Game!

LSE ~ how would you solve: U' M' U M' U2 M U M2 U M2

My solution: U M U2 M' U M' U' M2 (dots) U' M2 U2 M U2 M2 U2 M' ~ 16
or: U M U2 M' U M' U' M2 / U M E2 M E2 ~ 13 ~ is not easy for me ~ alternatives?

1. You didn't leave a new scramble
2. I have gotten better times with cfop
3. Roux is ok but not as good as cfop
Roux is way better than CFOP 1.Lower movecount=lower time when tps caps outs 2. Less algs 3. you actually use your brain vs Gonna use a little of myy brain to make a cross. oh look at these 2 peices alg, insert, oh look at these other 2 peices alg, insert, oh look at these other 2 peices alg, insert, oh look at these other 2 peices alg, insert. long alg. long alg. o look im done without the use of my brain what an accomplishment

BTW, why is it called 4C? Or is it? I've just heard the term used when reaching the last step in L6E
I don't main roux, but I like it

BTW, why is it called 4C

In Gilles Roux's tutorial, LSE is step 4 and it is divided into 3 parts: 4a (EO), 4b (UL/UR), and 4c

I am PB 52s, so if anyone can give me some tips, I would appreciate it.

Trying to get my slow solve move count down.

Some of those AUFs are probably unnecessary, but I don't know the cases from every angle.

y2 F R2 U' B2 D' (F' B) // FB (6/6)
y2 F U' D' F' solves a square. However after the first move, an R2 can be done to form the second pair. Furthermore, by doing a B2 after the U', it puts both pairs in a position where they can be inserted at the same time.
U2 R U' f R f' r2 U M' U' r' // SB (11/17)
Standard stuff. First make the square using the already formed pair, then finish with Rw to avoid a bad case. Cancel into the second pair which starts with Rw.
U R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R // CMLL (10/27)
No simple way to influence EO here, and permuting U layer edges with R2 D' r U2 r' D R U2 R doesn't help either since both UL and UR are in the D layer. So, I used the standard alg.

Just EOLR into 4c. Nothing special either. Not very efficient. :(

I did an a perm cause it would give me an easy eolr
