F2B Solutions

[jms_gears1]

So this is the exact same idea as my f2l Solution thread but this time I want F2B or First two Blocks. this applys mostly to the Roux method although i guess Technically zz people could also post.

Scrambles
1)F2 D2 F2 U2 L B2 F' R U' R U2 L B' D R2 U B D' R2 B U' D' L2 R D'

2)L B L' D2 F' B2 L2 B' D2 F R2 B2 U' B2 U R D2 U2 F2 L R2 U R F B'

3)B2 L' R F2 L U' F' U' D2 R2 U D2 R2 F2 D2 B R B L2 R' U B2 D2 B2 R2

4)B' F' U' L' R F2 D L D' U F R2 F' D' U L D2 U2 F2 D2 R' L2 U2 B' U2

5)L2 U' R L2 D F2 L2 R U2 D2 B2 F U' L B2 D U2 B2 R' U2 L B' D F R2

I am not yet going to post solutions because all of my solutions end up being F2L or petrus style block building which doesnt work well with roux.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Pff, my solutions are written incorrectly and I'm too lazy to fix them so I'll post them another day.

Everything was scrambled yellow top blue front. That is my ZZ scheme.

F2 D2 F2 U2 L B2 F' R U' R U2 L B' D R2 U B D' R2 B U' D' L2 R D'

EO Line: R’ L’ F y R U’ R y’ R U F2

Left Block: U L U L’ R’ U R2 L’ U L

19 moves

The rest of the F2L becomes very fast 2 gen.

L B L' D2 F' B2 L2 B' D2 F R2 B2 U' B2 U R D2 U2 F2 L R2 U R F B'

EO Line: y2 D’ R D F L D y R2 y

Right Block: R’ L2 U R’ U R2 L’ U’ L’ R U’ R’

19 moves again

B2 L' R F2 L U' F' U' D2 R2 U D2 R2 F2 D2 B R B L2 R' U B2 D2 B2 R2

EO Line: U D’ B’ R F’ R’ F D U2 B2

Right Block: U R U’ R’ U2 R U’ R’ L R’ U R

Very easy right “block”. 22 moves though

B' F' U' L' R F2 D L D' U F R2 F' D' U L D2 U2 F2 D2 R' L2 U2 B' U2

EO Line: L’ R2 B L F’ L’ F’ L D’

Right Block: L’ R U2 R’ U’ R U R U R’ U R U’ R’

23 moves. Lucky most of the right block save the L’ is fast.

L2 U' R L2 D F2 L2 R U2 D2 B2 F U' L B2 D U2 B2 R' U2 L B' D F R2

EO Line: F B’ U F R F’ D

Right Block: U L’ U2 R’ U2 R’ U2 R U2 R’ U’ R

After the L’ things get very very fast lol. 19 moves.

I used a couple of minutes per solution; I haven't used Roux enough for my speedsolves to make any sense.

Optimal first blocks in FTM are 6, 6, 5, 6, 5. The 5-movers look very obvious now, but I didn't inspect for much more than 15s.

Hmm how about a 2x2x3 solutions thread?...

 

[Zaxef]

Hmm how about a 2x2x3 solutions thread?...

That would be Petrus.. Feel free to make another thread, then we could have a F2L, Petrus 2x2x3 and Roux 3x2x1 blocks threads

 

[miniGOINGS]

That would be Petrus.. Feel free to make another thread, then we could have a F2L, Petrus 2x2x3 and Roux 2x2x1 blocks threads

It's actually 3x2x1*2 .

yes i was eventually going to request it xP

see you look at it all wrong your still doing a roux solve therefore its fun xD

I'd rather be inconsistently good, than consistently bad. No sign of improvement if every solve is about the same and not even one really good solve. Try to get a sub-20, even it takes you 10 minutes.

i plan to i was just puttinghow id normally speed solve them.

when im not time solving i try to never go over 9 moves or i scramble it up and start over

and my comment was meant to have a disparaging overtone text doesnt relay that well...
