5BLD's And PandaCuber's Roux Tutorial

**dbeyer** · 07-12-2012

I have started back up with cubing. I am taking it pretty seriously now. I have nmCmLL fully learned. Now here is my problem, my speedsolves are not as fast now. CmLL recognition seems to slow me down. On top of that, my slow F2B solves are about 18-25 moves. This is great I think. However, I do not solve this well when the timer is going.

Any tips?

I think 20 moves on F2B is really good...
I would say, lookahead. Practice solving something without looking at it. Anything really. And once youve mastered that, you can do that, while looking for the next solution.
You dont tps at all. (fast tps).

Meaning what exactly?

I know that tps is turns per second.

That you dont need to turn fast?
I feel like the only thing you need for roux is lookahead.

I saw the sub 15 average w/ slow turning on Waffle's guide. So, transition very very smoothly and the times will drop?

Roux is so sexy. Whenever i try to solve with roux, i automatically slowturn....

It feels that you get tps much faster then lookahead, and when using roux i realise that i am able to turn twice as fast as i need for my speed. its a good feeling.
