The 18 miss in 2.1 sucks but I'm pretty happy with how i performed in finals then. With current pair counting meta for 7c8e the 20 on a3 would've been trivial, funny looking back at the recon and how I considered it unreasonable then

This dr had 6 variations, from which there are 2 easy and different 23s.

First there’s:
R2 B L2 R2 D2 F’ D2 F // HTR(8/19)
U’ D F2 U’ D // finish(5-1/23)

I think i checked this htr from a different variation and didn’t switch it, but i had this written down:
(D2 L2 B U2 F’ D2 F) // HTR in 18

And i don’t understand how in the world i didn’t see R L F2 R L’ finish, which is just 2 moves to M slice and +3 on the spot

There is also a 22 from a eo that i missed, skull:
R F D L U               //eo-ud      (5/5)
(R' F2 U2 R' F')        //dr-lr-eoud (5/10)

This is the one solve out of 6 of which i’m truly proud of, and getting a unique woaj single on such a comp feels great. Mallard also doesn’t find a sub22 without a premove on 5mover

This one really hurts, like REALLY hurts

I was happy for finding this dr with rzp into 4c6e at like 10 minutes, but when i left the attempt it turned out that you can actually get an easy 18 from dr in 8 from this rzp by doing B’ instead of B and L2 after that, i distinctly remember trying B’ and i didn’t like something and didn’t found the dr. and it gives an easy 18. I am extremely mad at myself for missing this, and it threw me off for a better half of the next attempt. If i didn’t find the rzp at all or this was at least 19 and not 18 i’d be not as mad and sad, but the fact that i was so close and such a stupid miss cost me nr single really hurts

The dr i used in final is actually 22 optimal and that the best you can get from scramble, but you have to do R U2 R to solve corners on normal and niss trace that it’s 4 moves to htr on inverse, which i didn’t think to do before but will totally add to what i check on 4b2 now

There is an easy 20 from an rzp i didn’t switch because of not very good arm, but i should’ve since it’s rzp in 4, and the dr is obvious:
L U' F' D               //eo-ud      (4/4)
(L' D2 R' D2 B' L' F')  //dr-lr-eoud (7/11)
(L U2 L' B2 D2 R')      //htr-lr     (6/17)
(U2 F2 L2)              //finish     (3/20)

Other than that there don’t seem to be any other reasonable solutions sub23 except switching (D2 L U’ F) rzp and doing additional rzp on normal
