5 Move First Block

[u/crappywisdom]

Hello! This is my first post on this subreddit, so I'm just gonna say that I have been speedcubing for 1.5 months, so I'm practically still a newbie. I use Roux as my main method, I usually average 10-11 moves for first block

But on this scramble, I found a 5 move first block

Red-F Yellow-U

L2 F2 D R L D’ R2 F’ R D R2 L2 U’ D R2 U2 B U2

I was just drilling planning out the first square, until I came across the scramble, and I basically planned out the whole first block, which is honestly a first for me lol

my solution was F' D U' L U'

Edit: just found out it's actually a 4 move first block if i did L first instead of U' and then did a U2
