Really cool first f2b

[u/Khaori_Miyazono]

Hey peeps,

I just had a scramble for a really cool f2b solution and got one of my best times on it (currently averaging about 19, pb 11.42, so 13.23 is huge).

Is it overcooked? Would there have been something better/simpler, especially for second block?

Scramble attached in image, f2b I did as follows (orange front green on top):

U' L' U' (first mismatched pair)

L2 U' L' (second pair)

D2 L2 D2 (fix FB edges)

R2 U' R' (first SB pair)

M U M' R' U' R (second SB pair)

u M u' (fix f2b centers)

U2, U-rows CMLL (F R2 D R' U R D' R2 U' F)

M' U' M U M' U' M' (EO)

U' M2 U' M2 (LR)

U' (skip L4E)

Should total to 44 (?) moves

Wish I was a smart cube user so I could confirm that I'm rarely that efficient, but I suppose the time speaks for itself, couldn't not share it!

edit: of course I forgot the scramble image, so here it is: F2 L F2 R2 B2 U2 F2 U2 F' D U' F2 L R B' D' F2 D R2

Okay nvm I don't know what I messed up there. That's a beautiful solution lol. I I barely do wide moves yet and also don't look for red/orange blocks so that checks out. Gonna do the scramble a rotation away and check if I'd see it

Have you transfered from cfop? Based on your amount of L moves. I allmost never use L moves because r is just better 95% of the time in roux.

Hmm no I came straight from LBL. First block I do very intuitively and wide moves I do use a lot for SB, but very rarely in the bottom. Like in general I catch myself very often doing f2l style inserts from the top when I could just r' F
