SB and LSE. try for consistent 3-4-2-4

Hello. I just recently switched from CFOP to Roux, and I need some tips on how to get better. Here are my averages:
First Block: 5 seconds
Second Block: 6 seconds
CMLL: 3 seconds
LSE: 6-7 seconds
Total: 20-21 seconds
So as you can see I am so close to sub 20, and I would just like some tips on what to improve on. Thanks!

Get your blocks quicker- they're the most important part of Roux really.

Ok thanks
Anything different for OH?
for OH, get LSE fingertricks down and then experiment with how to do blocks ergonomically

Here is a link to an average of 5 that I did. Maybe this will give you a general understanding of my solves:

Yeah, work on smooth blocks more than anything and try to keep TPS constant with no pauses. Same goes for LSE. Your CMLL recog seems good though.
It might also just be me but I think you may benefit from a slightly smaller cube that fits your hands better

people have proposed ollcp for roux, which i believe would work really well, but i haven't seen anyone propose vls for the last pair if it's set up in the correct position.
you'd get oriented corners, leaving only 3 possible corner permutation cases and all edges would be oriented if the df db pieces were put in during second block.

216 I believe which is less than ollcp by almost 50%

Don't think that's worth it as more cmlls are quick to recognise and execute. You'd just waste time doing an extra alg set

This, and you still leave CP to do, and the O set algs are not the fastest or the most efficient.

BLS+B2 if you want to do it 
Though it would be full BLS rather than reduced version in the original method.

it wouldnt be VLS, it would be winter/summer variation. and as others have said, this is less efficient (also recog is harder), making it slower overall

VLS can alter EO which is what I think he was getting at.

but what about cases where there are edges unoriented on D? VLS would only be able to solve 1/4 cases.

So do it in the same way as OLLCP...

if you force DF and DB orientation, then even after the VLS alg, you will still have to do CP...

Yeah he does say. Also, it would work with full BLS+B2.

ok I will wade into the roux thread. *shudders
Just learn a subset I call VLS-CP or Very Large Snakes Can Poison. Like fluffy alligator but more algs.
