Waffle's Roux Tutorial

wow, just look at the recent spike in roux users :) its crazy how much it has grown over the past few weeks
 
Yea, it's pretty crazy.

I guess that it would be better to just learn full CMLL or COLL to solve the corners than WV. I think I will probably learn COLL or CMLL, maybe over the summer, after I get pretty good with EO and the blocks.

I still don't know full CMLL :p

but sub-20 avg is possible without knowing all the corner cases...once you get good at blocks :D
 
Yea, I guess it is the same with every single method. The intuitive part is the part that really matters. You can get sub-20 on Fridrich with 4-look last layer.

How easy is recognition for you? And what do you look for when you recognize what case you have for the corners?

I look for sticker patterns. Its easy when you get used to it. Recognition for me is a little lagged but its not too bad.
 
it used to be orientation then sticker pattern but now its everything at the same time.
Personally I just look for 6 stickers (the 4 on U and the 2 on F) from those I can differentiate all the cases. but takes a lot of experience with corners

Wasn't really expecting another today.

And my session average was quite nice.

otal Solves: 53
Total DNFs: 0
Average: 39.55 sec.

Fastest Time: 30.13
Slowest Time: 52.90
Standard Deviation: 05.45
 
I found that I can get pretty good times using using Roux f2l and then OLL/PLL. I do not usually do this, but I did once, because I finished the two blocks, and saw that all of the F2L was solved other than one edge. So I inserted that edge, and did OLL and PLL. My time was 26.xx, which is better than my average was for Fridrich. I am not going to use this, but I thought it was pretty interesting.
