R2 (D U' B' D2) // pseudo 2x2x2 (5/5)
(F U') B' // 3x2x2 (3/8)
F' L // pseudo F2L-1 (2/10)
R' D R D' R2 L' // L3C (6/16)
Skeleton : R2 B' F' L R' D R D' R2 L' U F' D2 B (*) U D'
(*) R' U L' U' R U L U' (8-2/22)
Serendipity ... (U') (1st step) and F (2nd step) are here to save a pair ... but I break this pair at the end of step 2, and that allows me a cool L3C in 16 moves.

Sol: R2 B' // square (2/2)
Sol: F' U R2 F' // one more square (4/6)
Sol: D2 B D U // pseudo F2L-1 (4/10)
Inv: D2 R' F2 R // L3E4C (4/14)


R2 B' F' U R2 F' D2 B D U R' F2 R [@1] D2 // L4E3C (14)
Insert at @1: L F' R' F R L'
After the 1st insertion: R2 B' F' U R2 F' D2 B D U R' F2 R L F' [@2] R' F R L' D2 // L3C (20)
Insert at @2: F R' B R F' R' B' R

The final solution: R2 B' F' U R2 F' D2 B D U R' F2 L B R F' R' B' F R L' D2

(B' R2 D2 R2) D' // 2x2x2 (5/5)
(U2 F U' F2) // p2x2x3 (4/9)
L F B' U B // 3C3E (5/14)

Skeleton: * D' L F B' U B F2 U F' U2 R2 D2 R2 B
* = L' U' L ** D' L' U L D (8-3/19) to 3E
** = L D L D' L' D' L' D' L D (10-5/24)

Skeletons I had on this scramble:

2 different 3c in 19s (one of them gave 24 but I liked this one more :P)
good 6c in 15
3e3c in 16
3c in 20

D [2] F' U //EO (3/3)
R2 B2 [1] F [3] R' F2 R //Domino (6/9)
D2 B' L2 F R2 F' //2E4E + centers (6/15)

[1] = S2 //Still 2E6E, one move shorter (2-3/14)
[2] = R2 S2 R2 //2e2e + center (4/18)
[3] = F' U2 F' M2 F U2 F //Solve (8-1/25)

Tied PB2

Definitely a very interesting scramble and solve haha.
Got really lucky w/ F2L-1

(D)//pair
B U2 D2 B'//222
L' U2//223
U L U' F//F2L-1 in 10 lol, Couldn't really find any good skeletons unfortunately (even though i tried switching after the last move) maybe try inserting L moves before F
(L' F' L2 F)//F2L
(L2 F U F' L B L' B' L B L' B' F U' F')//1LLL

D' F' U' //EO
L U2 F D2 L2 //222
(B R2 B L' B' L U2) //223
(B' R B R2) //F2L-1
(B' R' B' R) // 3C in 23
