stuck on a 19 to slice that was doomed

(L' U B) note that L2 D makes JZP on normal (i cbf reconstructing this properly)
(D L2 B2 D' B2 D)
(R' D2 L)
(D' R2 U' D' B2 U' D') // M in 19 but you can only work with line 3

could've written a 25/24 but cbs

had;

D' F R (L F D U' L' D' L) // Got 19 to M from inverse which is one of the 24's lol

(U' L2 F2 R) R D2 F U' B' D B // Swag DR (but also kinda shit)

D' U' F U F R F U2 L2 B // Only checked this in the last 10 mins when I was desperate, 4c4

D' F U (L F U2 L R' U L2 U) // Should've checked this before 58 mins passed maybe?

(L F) D' F R' F2 R D' L2 D // Never checked this

(F) F' L2 D' F L' U2 L2 D' L D // Seems bad lmao

U' R' (F R L) // EO
U2 B' R2 F L2 D' // DR
(F R2 U2 B D2 B') // HTR
(R2 F2 U2 R2) // S in 21, Solved in 23 :(

(B) D2 F L B // EO
U2 L F2 U' R // DR in 10 but it sucks, so change this line to

U2 L' F2 R2 B2 R2 U' R // It sucks slightly less but really not worth +3 lol
D2 B2 U R2 D2 B2 U // HTR
B2 L2 U2 R2 // Solved

Basically just didn't want to DNF. Only had the one sub 11 DR on this scramble (it's 23 optimal)

(wasn't really feeling an FMC so i just submitted a cool solution with an acceptable result lol)

L' (B' D' L') // EO
U' D' (U' D2 F' D B' U') // DR :D First time using 88/63
F R2 D2 R2 U2 F // HTR
R2 F2 R2 // S in 21, Solved in 23

EDIT - yeah I straight up didn't find the 4 movers on normal... for sure an off day (missing stuff I shouldn't be on all 3 solves)

we try again tomorrow

D (D' F2 U) // EO
B2 R' F2 L U2 B' // DR
(B2 R D2 R' U2 R') // HTR
(D2 F2 R2 D2) // M in 20, Solved in 21 (same as A1 lolol)

First time skipping some RZP in +1 from D/D' R2 U2/L2 D2 L using a trick I figured out very recently ;)

EDIT: damn I had the 9 move DR but forgot about DR breaking triggers... I hate that I have to keep this in my mental catalogue at all times 

D' L2 D // EO
(B R B2 D2 R F') // DR
(B2 R2 B2 R) U2 R // HTR

Mostly happy with how this "derust" (doesn't quite feel like the right word) went :)

got stuck 

(F R F R) // EO
(B' D2 B' D2 F U') // DR
R2 B' L2 B2 L2 // 3E+S in 15

Found an insertion outside of the DR that was 8-3 to give 20 to slice and then a way to make it 21 to 4X on S (the insertion happens in the DR line making a relatively nice FB DR sequence)

Basically just let the clock run as I realized the skeleton was a dead end

U' (L2 U L2 D') // EO
L' (B2 R2 B' F2 R) // DR
(F2 L2 B R2 L2 F) // HTR
(U2 R2 L2 U2) // S in 21, solved in 22

21 is optimal from the DR and findable, but given I haven't done focused practice in over a week & only found the DR like 45 mins in I think this is fine for how little time I had on this DR set

F2 R U' // EO
(L' R2 U2 B' F2 R') // DR
D2 B (F' R2 F') // HTR
(R2 U2 R2 D2 B2 R2) // S in 20, solved in 21

(U B' D) // EO
(F B) R' ^ L2 D2 B' L B' // DR but also a lot of blocks
L F2 R' // 14 to 3C wtf

^ - R , B L B' // 8-2

Originally had a 21 from an 11+1 using L F' U' B. First time in a long time my final isn't HTR (though I guess it's still DR xd)

The backup 21 is honestly cooler than my solution so I'll just show it

(U2 R2 U')
(B' U2 L2 R2 D2 F' D2)

Found a cool 14 move HTR that has a 21 but kinda unfindable imo

(D' R U D) F B U2 R2 F' U2 L F B' T // HTR in 14

Also found this cool DR (seems my 5C6E/5C4E vision is improving!!!)

L U' B2 F D // EO
R2 B D2 L F // Good subset but couldn't find a sub 22

Other;

I had a 20 to double slice from a similar JZP DR on this EO

... it's 23 optimal :)

[U D] (F2 L2 D') // EO

[] = F2 U D' // Set up short case (replacing with R2 L2 then F2 or B2 works too but didn't find anything from these)

F2 B2 R // DR in 9

F' B2 R B2 R2 B2 R' // DR variation

Very sad I didn't find better from this DR (at least it's only 21 optimal and everything seems pretty hard to find)

Stopped at 33 cuz lazy, could have NISSed my remaining RZP in 5/EO in 4 but nah

I had a much more boring 22 earlier in the attempt via U2 B D R (D L2 F' L F' R), didn't find anything better so used most of the remaining time to write a cool solution instead lol

EDIT: I had Ben Kyle's DR but noted it as 4q instead of 3q, probably would have checked it otherwise haha oops

Found a really cool 4q 20 to slice using this DR followed by EO replacement later on;

Skeleton is 22 optimal sadge

(D R2 U') // EO 3/3
U2 B' L' F R B // DR 6/9

Also had (U F2 D F2 R U2 B2 L F B) which almost derailed the attempt (couldn't find anything that felt sub 22able)

Really wanted to make this other start work;

R2 B U2 L // EO (can be replaced with D2 R2 B U2 L or U2 L2 F' D2 L)
(D2 B R2 L2 D) // 9 to 2c3 4e (or 10 to 2c3 2e with the 5 move EO replacements)

Didn't find anything close to 21 to slice or better on these unfortunately 

EDIT: I checked the other version of enrico's EO and even NISSed the RZP, but didn't try checking the other EO for some reason... probably would have made my final worse tbh lol

(D' R F' B) // EO
L' U , R2 B2 R B2 U' // DR

F B (R' U2 F) // EO
L2 U2 F2 L2 U' L // DR 1q in 11

And now for the degenerate replacement fun

F B L2 U2 F2 L2 U' L // Stuff on normal
(R L2 D2 B') // EO variation
(F2 U2 L2 D') // HTR in 16

...

(R L2 D2 B' F2 U2 L2 D') F B L2 // Stuff on inverse and first 3 moves on normal
R2 U D R2 F2 D L // HTR in 18???
F2 U2 F2 B2 // Solved in 22 lmfao

I nearly found all 17 5 move EO's on this scramble, somehow the only ones I missed were the ones starting with R on inverse then switching xD

Cool solution 

U B R D2 B // EO
F2 U2 F2 R D // DR
(D2 F2 [L' U2 L]) // HTR
[] = (L R2 D2 L R2) // +2 that sets up nice wrong slice case
(U D' R2 U D') // Solved in 22-1=21

Found this DR on the 80th EO I checked out of 85 total checked EO's... Worst 4 badx2 I've seen in a while lol

20 and even 19 seem somewhat possible using variations of the DR, but they all require 4qt despite being good 4b2 on both sides of the scramble

Had 3 total 21 to slice from this DR set (2 from this DR and one from D L2 D2 R' on normal), this was the only one that +0'd :P

had a 23 from (D' L B U' F) L R B but couldn't write correctly under the hour :(

also had B R2 B' U (D' L2 U2 B' R) which i found nothing from

The 8+5 DR that my DR is derived from gets 21 optimal & it seems somewhat findable, but I had better things to check on this scramble...

Had another 19 to slice from this DR that was less deranged but that also didn't +0 or +1 and I found this first :P

Definitely feel like there's at least a 20 lurking on this start but maybe not

EDIT: there's a 20 but only one possible and it needs 4q so idc about missing that

Found (U B) L B' L U' B U' B which would normally be a safe 20-22, instead the only 22's on this DR are either 5q or cursed NISS 3q paths :)))

Also got heavily distracted during the attempt to the point where I'm considering relocating!!! FMC is fun!!!

There was a LOT to check from this start given the nice HTR subset along with a very easy to manipulate EO

I found this cool HTR for example:

Also had two different 9+4's along with a 10+2c3 and 10+2c4 but didn't find much there
