Those are good. The more people that have this quote in their signatures, the more people that will switch to Roux.

No offense, but these conversations are what PM-ing was created for.
There's no reason to have everyone else see your thread, and enter it, only to realize that nothing of value has been added, but instead that people were doing something off-topic on and on-topic thread
</rant>

I can now get sub-40 roux.
Not great, but still getting better!

YEAH!!
when I started timing myself with roux i was already sub35

 

[miniGOINGS]

YEAH!!
when I started timing myself with roux i was already sub35

WOW all of these roux users are sooo much better than me,, maybe its my cube thats stoping me from gettin a sub 50 average... what is your typical breakdown

 

[byu]

My typical breakdown.

1x2x3: 5 seconds
1x2x3: 7 seconds
Corners: 8 seconds
Edges: 7 seconds

I average about 27. My final edges are really weird, I don't use the normal Roux method.

 

[StachuK1992]

I just got a 37.17 avg of 5

Goals:
I'll get sub-33.33 tomm
Then sub 31 the next
Then sub-30
Then sub-29
Then sub 28
etc. by days down to 25, then HUGE stop

I actually think that I could get sub-25 with Roux by the end of next week, at the very longest. I've honestly only done like 30 Roux solves, and get 37~ avg., so...you do the math

is that during an actual solve, or just 1 thing at a time?

Now its

first block - 4 sec
second - 5 sec
Corners - 4 sec
the rest - 3-5 sec

total - 16-18 sec

the rest is the determining factor in my solves now. it used to be the second block because i still suck at it but not as much.

wow,, is there an easier,, less intuitive way to build the first block? im really having trouble with that one,, my corners and edges take me about 20 seconds together but the blocks are killing me

umm not really
I do what i show in the tutorial video. 1x1x2 to a 1x2x2 then goes into a 1x2x3

play with m-slice and you'll get faster.
