From there I rushed the other variants to find 21 or better but did not even with all 4 movers, 21 is possible from JZP but not from me, I feel happy with this.
21 would have been possible with 5 movers, If I was faster this is my way to improve, but on scrambles with 2 move EO I just don't like it

DR is 20 optimal, and I could have found this...
I was expecting sub 20 findable because this 2 move EO has so many good stuff by either subsets are trash, or E slice for setting up DR. Looks like this wasn't easy to get sub 20 but my feeling with 21 here was very disappointed, and indeed spent too many time on other DR's after 21

I did not expect a 4/4/8 to be this bad :(
Every step was kind of a lucky shot in the dark...
EO was found on 2nd round of EO's as I had nothing left to check
Then I was not sure to switch the bad ARM, decided to because 5 pairs + oriented pair and again not a lot of stuff remaining.
Then Free HTR in 15 but did not find the LS on first try, had to 2nd pass again I did not find a good result. Really could have gotten 24 (I missed the 11 move DR from 4 move EO).

Nothing worked, only had 10 2c3 8e with JZP and 10 2c5, both are 22 optimal but for the 2c3 one I had to find the good JZP variant and then the good +2 to 4b2 4e switch that as a miracle gives 22

2c5 in 7 is 20 optimal also, but if you extend to another 4a1 in 10 this time you can get 18 of course, I just tried the 9 move ones

EDIT : The number of people first checking 7c8e on the bad arm axis and then finding the 18 via HTR skip is amazing me lol, skill issue?

And here comes the fun, not +1, not even a +2, deciced to find a backup no matter what as this was quite early, this 22 here.

And I did not improve, there are 21's all over the place with all the amazing DR's but found none (they almost all seem uneasy but everyone will find it and say it's easy like last week lmfao).

Edit : One is findable, I tried the HTR giving Wen's 20 but on another variation and did not try all, I guess this is how I could have seen a 21 and then get the 20. Skill issue as always !

Findable it I tried the good E slice variant of the HTR but I mean no

I don't know what's happening recently, I can't get anything to work and get very bad results

(L) U2 R'

They're both 22 optimal, one of them being findable with more time and more skill..
Just lost time on miss scrambles, and idk I got nothing else and started panicking..

Had nothing worth looking at after checking all my EO's and writing even more.
All Mallard solutions for 23 require something I did not find, an ARM I don't consider worth switching, or additional RZP.

Big skill issue :(

Only not horrible DR :

Can't analyse but probably a big strategy skill issue.
Given every 3/4 move I had, decided to go for RZP in 4 maximum, I think I do that way too much but otherwise I can't check every EO...

My only 10 move DR's were 2c4 or bad subsets, so 22 is fine but 22 is probably bad on this scramble...

Had the 9 to 4c3 for 21 but skill issued... I mean the only sub 23's are in the same path
Also had 10 2c3 that is 24 optimal and did not find anything on it obviously, an extension gives 22 tho :(

21 18 23 is quite a funny mean, 20.67

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

Maybe the craziest scramble I have ever seen

With one EO checked, I had :

U B2 [U R2 U//HTR(14)
B2 D2 R2 D2]//Double slice(18)
[D B2 D {F2 D2 L2 U2]//M slice(18)
{R' L D2 B2 L2 F2 L2}//+1 for 19

Technically there is a findable 18 for this after D, reswitch for other JZP side and gets 18
But I was so happy with uneasy 19 I even thought that I could not find better buutt

U2 F2 U//EO(3) 4c4e (a) with JZP so instant switch
(L2 U2 L2 F)//4c3(7) with variants on both sides, sadly it was bad and quickly decided it was not likely to be a 19
