total 44 stm, but executed at 43 cuz DU' would have been an E slice but I suck at E moves. 4 tps. Pretty slow because I predicted cmll in fb and made sure not to screw up lse.

ryan should be nervous, only 1.5 seconds between you guys. i think it took me about 6-8 months to get from 13.5 to 12 (i wasn't practicing enough back then). and 12-sub10 was about 6-8 months too (i started practicing more).

to think

when i was like the only person using roux

I used to wish I used cfop

how times change

 

[MarcelP]

I used to wish I used cfop

Why? How long took it before you became fast? I wish I had started out with Roux instead of CFOP.

being few in numbers, it's hard to learn stuff from other people especially since 5 people used Roux way back when. It was a matter of making stuff up yourself, or waiting on the other 2-3 people to make stuff up and share.

That is a long 1.5 seconds.

But anyway I am not nervous in the slightest. Even if penguins does pass me, that's not the end of the world, nor is it cause for a nervous breakdown. I've got other events and other stuff in life, too. Besides, look at some of the best cubes out there; for most of them, achieving sub 10/9/8 took years and years of hard work. I try to be optimistic and say I might get sub 10 next fall. But who knows.

I think its more than 1.5 seconds. In averages of 100, we both breakdown and fail near the end. (thats why you did 12.01 ao 50 cuz the ao 100 would sureky be worse). I would say you average high 11s, and you seem pretty consistent. Considering my 13.80 ao 100, the ao 50 was 13.47 or something, but most of my ao 5 and 12 were between 12.5 and 13.7 and DNF (I do that a lot by forgetting to AML adjust middle layer.) I would say i average high 12s to mid 13s. Damn nvm that is 1.5s. I can for sure drop that over the break!

He's taking his splits, he's making it right, hes gonna find out who hes gonna pass by, because theROUXbiksCube is gonna get fast.
He solves when we are sleeping, he solves when we're awake, he solves no matter what the time, so we must solve for goodness sake!

Yo Berd sent me to ask you guys what a good cube would be for a novice roux user

I would recommend a Rubix brand because of its sooper corner cutting.

that was the fun part, the sucky part was it being unproven and the fact that you couldn't do slice moves on old cubes

Of course

I would recommend a Rubix brand because of its sooper corner cutting.

Plus its sooper dooper anti-pop and lock mechanism.
