Waffle's Roux Tutorial

[waffle=ijm]

don't worry about spamming on this thread. I review each one and it seems useful I'll have link to it on the first post.

HAHA!!! Totally forgot that I got the 500th post on this thread!! YEEE-HAAAW!!

EDIT: And I had 3 waffles for dinner .

 

[Haste_cube]

It's been a loo0ng time for not cubing

ermm what happend to the rouxdiscussion forum 0.0

 

[StachuK1992]

refresh the homepage (of SpeedSolving.)
It's been re-named.

 

[jms_gears1]

lol i saw that GAH WHY I HATE YOUR SIG

 

[TEGTaylor]

new roux pb 21.67, cmll skip!

 

[miniGOINGS]

Arg, I want to cube so badly.

Can anyone tell how i can build the second block EASY and efficient?
Last corner-edge pair is not the problem, but I'm bad at 1x2x2... always about 10 moves...
Is there a good way to do it, except building a pair and then attach the edge?

That's how I would do it, but I suggest you look into "Matt's Block". If you don't like it, then don't use it, but if you do you can try it out.

go color neutral with 1x2x2 with the pieces that make up the 1x2x3 when not color neutral. Then insert the last pair so it goes back into your color scheme...

EDIT - you can't do it efficiently if you do it easily.

 

[Tiw]

I think to be color neutral on speedcubing isn't a good idea for me.
Do you use the "algorithms" from gilles roux's site for building the 1x2x2 block on the right site? And whst is your move count for the second block when you go fast?

 

[waffle=ijm]

I do use the algorithms from Roux's site but most of them are just intuitive.

12-13 is my average move count...I think...

 

[Tiw]

Wow!
You're pretty efficient!^^
Could you make a more detailed tutorial for the second block that shows all of your tricks?
I'm sure it would help me a lot!
And could you tell me which cases of Gilles Roux's endless tables are not that intuitive?

 

[waffle=ijm]

I'd be glad to make a video, if I have the time.

er, you might want to learn some on the tables on roux's site. You can choose which you want. As I said, most of them are intuitive. when you get the hang of doing the second block using the tables on roux's site, then the rest will just be intuition so I can't tell you which is or isn't intuitive.

 

[Tiw]

I already wait for the video
But for now I will just have a closer look to the tables, I hope I become a little bit better!

I just found a faster way of doing the M-slice case where all corners are diagonally switched: U2 M' U2 M2 U2 M' U2, it's soooo fast.

corners?

you mean edges.

there are several cases to that case but I like the E2 M' E2 since it's quicker for me. whatever works for you...

Sorry, yes I meant edges. How do you do E2 quickly?

 

[waffle=ijm]

hold U layer with right thumb on FRU and index on BRU
hold D layer with left thumb on FLD and middle on BLD

perform Dw and while doing that push on BL with the left index and then D'

this way you still have the left ring for the M trigger.
