I really can say that cameras add a crap ton of pressure. I literally went ONE one hand solve in comp without recording... comp pb single. -___-

Was shaking like a mad man at feet at toledo - likely because I was being recorded pretty close up.

As for my WR... theres not much to think about in 1.69 seconds xD

Another record?

Not that better than your previous record, but you keep proving it was not just a matter of luck.
I never thought you could be that fast.

I was just about sub 20 when I switched. I switched because I saw potential in the method- I saw that there was more room to be efficient and stuff.

Ah, I gotcha. That must have been a frustrating period trying to catch your Roux skills up to your CFOP. I think my perspective is kind of weird since I never did any F2L stuff (other than intuitively figuring out some F2L tricks when I was doing beginner's method). I think at some point, maybe I should spend some time learning about it down the road? I think more styles is probably not a bad thing to have under the belt.

Stick with roux it's got way more potential.

Somethings only got "potential" if it hasn't been tried.
I'm starting to feel there must be faster methods out there...

Also if you're gonna switch to Roux don't ever use CFOP again until you get back down to your CFOP speed. Otherwise you'll give up.
