ShengShou Crazy 3x3x3

ShengShou expand the crazy cube series which they started with the crazy megaminx, it is a pillowed 3x3 with rings on each face that do not turn with their respective faces which allows for some interesting solutions that would not happen on a regular 3x3x3 speedcube. To solve it, you basically need to solve the cross by aligning pieces carefully on the bottom, even good 3x3x3 solvers will have to think carefully! Once you have done the cross you can do F2L as normal and sometimes the last layer is just like a normal 3x3x3 solve but sometimes the algorithms mess up the first two layers or give you a parity case which can be solved with a simple algorithm:
