Waffle's Roux Tutorial

I look at FUR, UFL and ULB

For this case I determine that FUR and UFL are opposites.

This got me thinking though and I may get it now. You are saying that with NMCMLL (R2 only I guess) in the above case I should look at the relevant corners U-face sticker. If they are not the same I should change one sticker of my targets to the opposite. If that was relevant for this case I would get two same colored stickers. Right?

It seems a bit tricky to do fast, but I could use it to check the case when I am unsure.

Yep, that's how it works and with practice it's pretty fast.

EDIT: I got a chance to look at your NMCMLL method. It does look really interesting. It could convince me to use full NMCMLL.

I only use R2 blocks sometimes. I don't think there are any Roux users that use full NMCMLL yet.

I read multiple times that R2 NMCMLL is a piece of cake - but it was not true for me (maybe now I understand) ...

1st Test: In the quote above I can replace U-face with L/R-face and it is still correct ? EDIT Wrong it only works with U.

2nd Test: If I just use 3 stickers for recognition, it's easier because I just have to convert 1 sticker, while 4 sticker recognition requires 2 stickers to be converted. EDIT also wrong there is no real difference

P:S: I would recognize the given Sune case by recognizing UFR is opposite UBL and UBL is same as BUR (I'm not really looking at the back - back here is my left side)
So in general for all R2-Sunelike-cases: 1. Look for two oposite or same colored stickers on top 2. apply an "inmind" flip of the 3rd recognition sticker if necessary

Well, I am now a sub-20 Roux solver... And before that I could hardly even manage sub-30 Fridrich. :-/

Thanks so much! This method is great fun, and it gets me good times. :3

P.S. Even my Fridrich times dropped as a result of learning Roux... I guess it's just because I have a better feel for the cube now, though.

99% sure he said he was.

I'm color neutral-ish. I will solve any easy block first, but I'm noticeably slower if the D layer color is either blue or green, and considerably slower if the D layer color is either orange or red. I'm learning Roux for fun mostly, and I figured since absolutely everything in this method is new to me, that I may as well use this as an excuse to be color neutral in at least one method.

However, I'm much faster when the D layer color is either white or yellow (the same colors I use for cross in Fridrich).
 
I am color neutral when using roux (for fun, not main method).
I guess that's because I still use CFOP and make 3 cross pieces and then put 2 corners in for the first block (please don't shoot me).

Do you read what you type before you post? Or do you headbang the keyboard until something comes out as a coherant sentence?

In case you don't understand, you're wrong.

Infract me if you wish, I'll take it like a man.
