The Roux "Example Solve" Game!

[FB Cubing]

Although Pyjam is 100x better than I am, here's another take on your solve from a fellow noob if it helps.
I used 2-look CMLL, and I tried to explain everything.

Ultimately, it was 62 STM broken down as follows:
- SB:
- dFR square: 7 moves
- BR pair: 8 moves
- LSE 4a & 4b: 8 moves
- OCLL (EO preserved): 11 moves
- CPLL: 13 moves
- LSE 4c: 7 moves

x' // inspection
B' D B M U2 L' U L// FB
// SB: nothing special but 15 moves. pretty reasonable for my solves anyway.
U' R2 // insert BR belt edge into DR as pseudo-cross edge. with this pseudo-cross edge...
// you are trying to form a Red-Yellow corner-edge pair (with Green bottom dot)
// Red Yellow Green corner is in the BR slot / Red Yellow edge is UB (this is the actual DR "cross edge")
B U' B2 R B // anti-trigger to pair (B U' B') then directly insert in back with shortened hedgeslammer-- aka "3-move insert" (B' R B)
// alternatively, you can make this a little less awkward with a y/y'
//y R U' R2 F R y'
// dFR square finished!
// now you just have to pair and insert BR corner-edge pair.
// both pieces are in the U layer, and this is a "Crocodile" case if you've watched RiDo
// (corner and its corresponding edge same color up.)
U B U B' // put the croc in the corner with U, hide it with B, bring the edge ("prey") next to it with U, and the crocodile pounces with B'
U2 B U' B' // insert premade pair in BR
// alternatively, a y rotation here is more moves but less awkward
// (note that Dw/Dw' can also be substituted for any y/y' rotation)
// Dw' U2 R U R' U2 R U' R' Dw'
// getting to the last layer, I do things a little out of order depending how my everything looks
// I like to have (any) 2 oriented edges in bottom so that EO is easier to spot
U M U' M' // orient DB+arrow on top
U M' U2 M' // insert DB alongside DF back on bottom
// this completes 4a and 4b as long as we preserve EO during OCLL
// if my edges aren't oriented, I like U2 F R U R' U' F' for this OCLL case
U' R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R U2 // this is the most common OCLL alg for this case that preserves EO
// if you want to "phase" your yellow edges (move them opposite each other)... do a Jb-perm
// if you don't care do a T-perm or whatever you want
// btw with 2-look CMLL and 2 adjacent bottom edges on top (a "cycle case"):
// if they are in FL (like they are here) or in BR, Jb-perm phases them
// if they are in FR or in BL, Ja-perm phases them
// if they are already opposite, T-perm preserves them.
// if you do phase them, be prepared to look out for dots.
// (or be prepared to solve dots!)
R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' // this is the most common Jb-perm (CPLL)
// onto 4c (since we did 4a and 4b earlier)
M2 // insert orange into red
U' // line up colors
// this is a bar-front case (bar on F face , dot on U face)
// to solve this case:
// - do a M or M' setup (I visualize this as moving the bar to the top not the front)
// - "bar on top" case is solved with U2 M2 U2-- so next do U2 M2 U2
// - then do a M or M' teardown (opposite of what you did earlier)
M U2 M2 U2 M' // done.

Cheers for all the useful information! I will try and put this into account in my solves

[41 STM] - one of my better Roux solves

Can anyone think of a better FB solution? I like my start, but 6 moves to get the last edge in was pretty weak.

Your FB is little too sophisticated. And you know, even the best rouxers are not full color neutral.

Here's a much simpler solution:
y2 U2 R2 B D' B2
But it put DR in a bad position. You can fix it like this:
y2 U2 R2 U B D' B2
The fingertricks are not easy. A rotation would help.

One more thing, don't do U' M L' B' L. Do U' M2' R' U' R instead.

Color doesn't bother me so much.
I've solved on any side of the cube since I started.
I find it more confining "trying" to be x2/y color neutral (although that was a cool concept once I grasped it).

U' M2 R' U' R -- brilliant! I had to get back to the cube state to understand what you meant.
Once I see a premade corner-edge pair, I immediately want to insert it. (Hence: L' B L)
Your solution is much more elegant, ergonomic, and preserves EO.

Thanks.

I forgot to answer on this point. Fortunately, I remembered during my sleep!
You don't need Rw for you second move. You want the last edge on U, so R is the correct move.
The solution:
S' R S2 // align things, 4/5 FB
U2 u' R' u // last edge

It's worth mentioning that this is something you can do to insert a corner too:
F' R' F R // Set up the case
F u' R' u // Corner insertion
