Waffle's Roux Tutorial

[waffle=ijm]

Also, I know it's long overdue, but Waffle, your Roux tutorial rocks.

THANKS! and now I feel all warm inside

Here are my thoughts on ZZ:

1. EOline looks intimidating
2. Very good blockbuilding
3. Multiple ways of finishing the cube allowing freedom of choice

At first EOLine is tricky, and doing EO+Line is very difficult, but the challenge is fun. 2&3 are both true.

Are you sure it's not the cookies?

Yea, right now I'm doing line and then EO, but maybe I should be doing EO first? Where is that good text tutorial on ZZ again...

Yeah, EO should be first. And for the best text tutorial click the link in my sig. It takes you to Cride's page.

Thanks, I'm reading it right now .

waffle: i don't feel like posting on youtube, so, do you think you could possibly make another block building video? I watched both example solve videos and that other block building video but it's still so bad for me.

EDIT: Just took another avg with Roux. It's a lot lower but it's not proper. I've been using Fridrich F2l to get all 4 pairs which is really bad i think. Plus, my intuitive Fridrich is pretty bad in general.

Back...and I also have practiced Roux
I guess first and second block is not a big problem at all, I just need MUCH more practise.
I still have big problems with the L6E. Always about 18 moves.
I don't understand your solutions really. It looks mostly that the UL and UR pieces are lucky solved.
Can you give some strategies?

 

[Rikane]

I'm pretty sure L6E can be solved in 5 moves or less (STM) when I made the alg pictures, I don't recall having to write more than that. Except for the case where the edges and corners are all the same colour, but the centre is different.
If you've registered on roux central (I don't remember), then you can find them there.

WHAT??? L6E in less than 5 moves??? :confused:

I'm pretty sure he means 4c.

zubby?

and on average for LSE i get about 14 moves, when im not speedsolving it, and i think 14.7 when i am. LSE is all about recognition and speed. The best thing you can do is slowly solve a bunch of L6E scrambles and do it in the fewest moves possible, trust me its not that hard

 

[Rikane]

Yea, I blanked out, and I DID mean 4c, thanks waffle.

Sorry about that, gears is right as well.

Sickness does make me a fool, haha.

 

[Daniel Wu]

Darn. I was hoping for a revolutionary new L6E trick or something. Oh well.

No. Just practice. That's all there is to it.
You're asking way too much of these members.

 

[Tiw]

The scrambles are specially for waffle and minigoings. They have fun doing that for me

Thanks!
Your solutions are interesting...
Has step 4c skipped radomly in your solution of the 4th scramble?
What have you done in the solution of the 5th scramble at the beginning?
I don't understand your EO.

No, I used U-permutation.

What have you done in the solution of the 5th scramble at the beginning?
I don't understand your EO.

Sometimes I think it's better to leave F/B centers on U/D. The EO definition stays the same.

Here's an example where it helps a lot. Scramble: M U' M2 U' M U2 M U2 M'. Solve EO: M'.
