Fastest roux times you seen/PBs/ when you started
[(7.83 Ao5/ PB Single 25.090, PB Ao5 32.004) started 5 weeks ago, roux 3 weeks ago, average times go down 2-3 secs per 1-2 days. ], also do you think that a 4 second time is possible.

Alex said he has a 4 second single.

Weilong v2/ Gans 356 both with really loose tensions

i've heard lots of great things about gans 356, i just can't handle that circle core.

I think that the 3x3 records will be broken with roux or petrus or zz instead of cfop.

Meaning that you don't like the look? Or the feel?

i'm not sure about zz and especially petrus, but roux and cfop are the best

you mean the circle centre sticker? or the octopus core???

not petrus, but one day maybe roux/zz. imo cfop will probably always be the fastest because popularity and dominance is very hard to beat.

Zz, roux and petrus all have lower move counts than cfop

the look, never felt it before, unless it's much better, i can't see myself using it.

What about PCMS? It always not been that popular even though it has low movecounts and is ergonomic

Once I get sub-15 roux I may also try T-CELL as it also has very low movecounts and is ergonomic and rotationless. I think it has potential because I have a 17.xx time with a less efficient variant of it even though I don't practice it.

Also, ZB

The s-slices are a problem imo.

but it seems like it will have many rotations or S slice moves, same movecount as roux but with rotations and even stranger moves.

Once the R and L centres are placed it is 3 gen (U, D and M) like in SSC

ZB seems great but some ZBLS algs are trashed so more research needs to be done for better algs

Well, maybe we'll get them now OLLiver say he will learn full ZB

oh, okay, that seems pretty good then. it will be interesting to see if anyone picks it up and really gets good at it.

hopefully. OLLiver is so awesome btw.

Alex (Lau) said that he would be very interested to see if anyone did a couple of years ago. I believe that lead to a couple of arguments with people telling him he should give up roux then. But he refused.

Obviously.

Ok, back on topic, how useful is TCLL in Roux if combined with CMLL? Maybe TCMLL

i would think the algs would be pretty bad, it's already pretty hard to solve the bottom corner, and now you have to also solve cmll at the same time. plus it doesn't save many moves in second block.
