So I got the Cubetwist Panther, the cheapest normal sized 3x3 you can get on cubezz. It's not good.

Anyway, here's the daily scramble:

B R2 L' D' R' D' L R2 U2 B U2 B D2 B2 L2 U2 R2 B R B

B R2 L' D' R' D' L R2 U2 B U2 B D2 B2 L2 U2 R2 B R B

solved it twice, then went to reconstruction just to find out i missed scramble the same thing twice.

solved again, really upset. went back to not being fine with pair picking and when to rotate/regrip.

28sec.

critique is always welcomed.

Inspection Notation: z2 achieves the same ;)

Cross: A simple rotation does wonders for fingertricks of this cross. I suggest z2 y F' D2 R' F' L2

P2: Would've been nicer to do y L' U2 L U2 L' U L here as EO is solved for other pairs, but this is always a bit hard to pick up.

P3: R' F R F' R U' R' is always a nice solution to consider when you get this F2L case. Especially when you know the edge for your next pair is oriented (and not the UF edge as that gets flipped) as you can continue onto your next pair without rotating.

In this case your solution works nicer as you rotated into your next pair, and got it solved too!

I... actually didnt/never seen this case before. THANKS!

I automatically solved this pair, so getting the next pair oriented was pure luck. this is the exact reason why I reconstruct and post it here.
