This weeks scramble normal solve:

x U2 L' U2 x U F2 U' F r' F [9/9]
U R2 M U' M' U2 R' U R F' U' F r U R' [15/24]
R U R' U R U2 R' U' R U' L' U R' U' L [15/39]
U M U M U M2 U M2 U' M' u2 M' u2 [13/52]

A lot of moves but pretty easy.

This is one of the few cases where I actually use non-matching centers during LSE in speedsolving.

I recommend you to remember this case (after the U move): the UL/UR edges are part of the misoriented edges (UB and DB), under each other, the edge on the UB position is the middle one out of the three misoriented edges of the top side.

Because in that case, the EO is a simple M' move!

So:
U M' // EO
U M2 U // ULUR
M U2 M' U2 M // Mperm, alternatively for FMC: B2 M' B2 M2

Full LSE:
U M' U M2 U M U2 M' U2 M [10/49]
or:
U M' U M2 U B2 M' B2 M2 [9/48]

Also learn the y2-mirrored case for this EO: wrong edges are UL,UF,UR,DF, UL/UR edges are on UF/DF, then the EO is just an M move.

Woah. That cube is looking strange. Hm, I have a feeling that very good solutions will born...

Speedsolve:

r' U2 M' U' r U M2 U' r U' M U2 R U' R' (15)
x' D R2 U' R' U R U' R2' D' R U Lw' (12)
M U2 M' U2 M' U M U M U2 M (11)

48 STM.

Roux-FMC:

y2
u' F2 u //left square (3/3)
r' R' F' U' //right square (4/7)
r2 U //right pair (2/9)
F2 r R2 F r U' R //left pair (7/16)
R' U L' U2 R U' R' [@1] U2 L2 x //CMLL (9-7/18)
U2 M U' M U M' U // leaves only 3 edges (7/25)
alg.cubing.net

Insert F E F2 E' F at [@1] will give a 30 STM (35 HTM) solution.

Full solution without rotations and inner layer turns:

By far the weirdest solve I've ever done.

If you do FMC, and you do non-matching blocks, I suggest you to use pre-moves to help your recognition (in this case, CMLL).

After you built the second block, that block is mis-matched with an R' on the orange face:
scramble: D2 F' B2 L2 B' D L F' U' F2 U2 F' D2 F' B' R2 L2 D2 R2

F2B:
y2
M2 D2 L U' L D2
U2 M U' R2 U' Rw U Rw' U Rw' U' R
R' // this would "solve" the second block relatively to the first one
alg.cubing.net

This R' move is originally an L' move (CCW turn on the orange face). So, do an L' move before the scramble:
L' D2 F' B2 L2 B' D L F' U' F2 U2 F' D2 F' B' R2 L2 D2 R2

Same F2B:
y2
M2 D2 L U' L D2
U2 M U' R2 U' Rw U Rw' U Rw' U' R
alg.cubing.net

Now you have same colored blocks! Solve the rest of the cube normally:
U' R' U' R U' L U' R' U L' U2 Rw
U' M U M' U2 M' U2 M U' M2
alg.cubing.net

And because:
[orange CCW] + [scramble] -> [your solution],
the full solution will be:
[scramble] -> [your solution] + [orange CCW]
alg.cubing.net

(Note that in the end, M2 R' = Rw' M, which was your original solution.)

y2 B M B' E2 R2 E2 (6/6) Hey, you've gotta give me creativity points. Only a CFOPper would've come up with something this stupid.
L F' L' R' U R U' R' U R U R' U' R' U2 R U R' U' R (20/26) 20 move second block. Nothing else needs to be said.
U r U R' U' L' U l F' (9/35) Whatever
M U M U M' U2 M U' M U2 M (11/46) Decent

Aaaaaaand improved:

y2 B M B' (3/3) sort of first block
L F' L' R2 U2 R2 U R2 F R F' (11/14) sort of second block
E2 L2 E2 L2 (4/18) finishing blocks
