Waffle's Roux Tutorial

[waffle=ijm]

ZOMG!!!11!1!!one!!! I understand the EO now. So simple.
I went ahead and made out the full algs for each of them, because I will be much better at it if I approach it like that. Thanks for the awesome tutorial.

I'm calling it rukes.

lol @ rukes
glad my tutorials are helping you

I would never have figured out how you could use the M slice and stuff. And only using R U and M is very helpful.

Hmm...I'm still using fridrich, but for Siamese cube Roux pwns

 

[Poke]

I originally wanted to do Roux... but I did Fridrich, so I may switched back.

 

[soccerking813]

I now have a sub-40 single using Roux, and a sub-50 average of 12 using Roux.
It is very nice.

How has learning roux compared to fridrich? I can't watch the vids yet.... Hughesnet.

Do you know full COLL/CMLL?

Roux is more easier to understand than Fridrich. The steps look as if they are intuitive.

At least I do not have to remember a near infinite amount of algorithms. I want to be able to do Roux, and Petrus... and fridrich, ortega, waterman, ZZ, and heisse... and possibly some minor variations. I want to have a great understanding of the cube, and have expert knowledge. Plus, I get bored easily so it is something to do.

I say roo, because I think of the food type of roux.

umm i need some help with the first block,, i always seem to build a 1x1x3 (2 corners 1 edge),, build another 1x1x3 block (2 edges 1 center) and put them together but its very ineffiecient,, any help?

I first build a 1x1x2 block, just an edge and a center, then I build one of the c/e pairs that matched the other block, and put them together. Then I do the last c/e pair. I can always see the first c/e pair and the edge and center, and sometimes the whole first block.

I found it much easier, but it may have been easier because I already had some knowledge of the cube. But switching from an F2L method to a kind of Blockbuilding method was not as hard as I thought it would be.

Do you know full COLL/CMLL?

No, I just use the corners OLL algs and a T or Y perm.

And my times are lower than then. About 10 seconds lower.

mmm ok thanks umm do you use the M slice for the first block a lot?

 

[soccerking813]

If I am putting the last c/e pair in, and the corner is on the top, but the edge is on the bottom, next to the other pieces I have solved, then I use the M slice, but other than that not too much.

Just a question so that I know this method is dependable...what is your average for solving the cube and how long have you been using this method?

 

[soccerking813]

I started less than a week ago, and my average after warming up for a couple of solves is ~ 40-45 seconds. I think Gilles Roux, the guy who made the method, averaged sub-20.

1 year and 2 months. I like to take breaks and those add up to about 10 months worth of breaks

I'm usually 17-18 but my pb is 16.33 and I don't even know all the CMLLs

EDIT 13-15

he does sub 12

Roux is sub-12? I always thought he was in the 13-14 range.

 

[spdcbr]

Roux made an amazing method too...

Whoops nevermind, I double checked he is in the 13-15 zone

big green has been doing roux for a year and does sub 12.

Yeah, that sounds more like what I had been thinking.
