Roux Block building

[jms_gears1]

Ive realized that i suck with block building and i was wondering how many tutorials there are on this.

I read a couple of threads and BigGreen said that he would make something but i didnt see it on his Channel.

If you know of a good video other than waffles (no offense i watch them all the time, im just wanting to find more vids) that would be appreciated.

Tips with block building would be great as well
Thanks

It's a hard step. On Roux's site, he has optimization for the blocks.

Where? Ive spent since about sunday working on my blocks and i still can only avg about 40-50 seconds with Roux.
5: 00:52.56
4: 00:47.60
3: 00:52.00
2: 00:51.79
1: 00:45.10

Avg. 5: 00:49.81

blocks are hard. aim for 4 seconds for the first and 6 for the second.

optimum second blocks

it's going to make more than one day to get better at them

Tis the majority of the solve no?

ya yuppers

so that will help with the second block but what about the first?

just use the fewest moves possible. and track pieces so you don't have to look around for them

I'm using roux too, and since I switched from fridrich, it's the same as my normal fridrich solves but with added edge oreintation, L and R edges, and final step, since I still havent gotten out of the habit of fridrich style insertion when I have so much freedom on the cube, and I started less than a week ago so I don't know any CMLL and I still use PLL and OLL on corners. I suck at roux.

I'm seeing a lot of similarities between Roux and Petrus. Like, I track 2x2x3 during 2x2x2.

Also, wtf is up with spdcbr's avatar? Just like Waffle's?

LOL it looks like a cookie on heroin

Except a whole less efficient. I'll try with it again tommorow. Time for some shut-eye in my time zone.

Oh, you mean you look ahead to the next step? Like you're supposed to do with every method for every puzzle?
