What video?

Oh yeah:

 

[Eli Apperson]

OK thanks! I will probably use this+speedcubedb when I start.

First day trying roux:
Best single: 28.34
Best Ao5: 35.75
Best ao12: 38.36
Ao25: 39.12

 

[Eli Apperson]

Ugh so much missed potential
I made an x-cross, then had 3 easy pairs into a ZBLL that I knew but for some reason I didn't do. Could have easily been a 6, ended up being a low 9

Better than what I would average right now. Of course, I don't use roux, but for a first, it's impressive.

Are you trying to be color neutral on Roux?

Not planning on it. I'm already x2 cn with cfop so it's pretty much the same with roux

 

[Cubing Forever]

I think you might be thinking of critical cubing.
As a general rule I don't really like jperm tutorials, or really tutorials in general.
I prefer figuring it out on my own, and looking at example solves.
I already know the basics of roux, and because I know CLL and COLL I pretty much know CMLL.

Kian Mansour has some pretty good playlists which are still up to date.
Also, please use this for CMLL(many CMLLs are actually OLLs so learning them is pretty easy)

Ahhh worst blind fail yet. 4:11, and all that was wrong is that I forgot to do parity for edges

I hate it when that happens. When I used to do parity. Nowadays, I just switch D and A, E and Q; when there is parity. That way, I get an even number of letters for the edges, and I don't have to do the parity algorithm between steps, or even worse, forget to do it.

2 more DNF's
1st was off by a corner cycle, bc I forgot my last letter pair
2nd was off by a corner twist, I memoed PU instead of PV and bc I couldn't remember I did PK

 

[Eli Apperson]

Just hit 1000 reaction score!
I'm just going to grind blind for the rest of the time till the comp. I'm not really going to improve in the other events anymore, so I will probably just do an ao25 or 50 in each and do blind solves for the next week.

Amateur. I reached 1000 before you.

4:23 DNF off by 1 corner cycle.

 

[Eli Apperson]

I found a set of letter pairs on quizlet, where I can learn 1 set at a time. So, right now I'm working on the A set. I want to learn hopefully half of all 526 before the comp.

Who made it?

I don't use all of them, as I don't care to fill my vernacular with foul language

Hey! I used that same one, too! Before I realized studying the letter pairs using flash cards didn't really help to learn them, but I might make a deck to review the pairs.

I use the quizlet games to learn them. It's actually quite effective for me

Keep pushing, weed off all the DNFs. You will get there, U R' S' R U' R2 E R E' R S.
