No, you are not allowed to put 2 pieces together and slot them. That is unacceptable.

When blockbuilding (or at least in my experience) there's nothing wrong with doing F2L like pairing when efficient, just don't make it a habit. You can do things like it once in a while, but don't just solve the F2B like F2L with no M Layer.

Moo spamming is a key to Roux blocks. By sticking to ONLY F2L solutions, you'll get nowhere

CFOP style pairing is basically very, very, basic block building. Try to use more efficient moves to make block pairs and inserting of the single edge (for right block).
Left block there is no need for CFOP based blockbuilding

Does anyone more experienced with Roux than me have an opinion on using white/yellow on R/L? I love it for lookahead on F2B but most people seem to have white/yellow on U/D.

afaik BigGreen uses white and yellow on L/R

waffo, can you do fast solves using CFOP too? I just want to know if you think it is good to learn more methodns (learn, not just try)

Learning more methods can always give you insight to doing certain steps more efficiently. Blockbuilding methods can most certainly help you build an x-cross and might even improve your F2L.

I am color neutral, but usually force Red/Orange U and D face. Who are these most people? I know Kirjava prefers Blue/Green on U/D I personally don't mind and find that, that step gets faster with just solving over and over.

Hey, I've been using this site for learning CMLL's:
http://sites.google.com/site/schweitzerpatrick/home
But I'm running into a problem with one of the Bruno - Pi cases... the "/" slash one... the alg doesn't seem to work. I get the idea of using both of those types of sunes... but am I doing it wrong? or is the notation off?
R U R' U R U2 R' - U' L' U R U' L U R'
This is the one that I'm messing up somehow.
Is the alg below that one setup right as well?

For the "Slash" you can use: R U R' U R U2 R' U' R U' L U R' U' L
and for "Black-Slash" you can use: R' U' R U' R' U2 R U' L' U R U' L U R'
Both taken from Waffle's old CMLL videos. I actually just started learning CMLL as well with that site and found those two to be wrong.

I realized what I was doing wrong. After ~2 months of re-starting cubing, I got bored of 3x3x3 speedsolving and instead concentrated on 3BLD and 2x2x2 speed. I really loved them. Then I realized why I was frikin bored of 3speed. CFOP! After watching your Roux vids and going to your website (and reading from the start till the end and trying out stuff), I straightaway converted from CFOP to Roux. CFOP is damn boring! On the other hand, Roux is awesome! 
Thanks a lot Waffo! Iou.

Happy cubing, tjen

Hmm. Thanks for the guide; I like the method, though I'm still averaging just under 2 minutes with it. -.- (my average with CFOP, which I'm trying to convert from, is around 30 seconds)
My recognition is teh suckz...
[EDIT]: Just for the record, I used your written tutorial on your website. The insane amount of time I would've spent just watching videos kind of deterred me. Sorry.
Is there anything important of note in your videos that's not on your written description at your website? (wafflelikescubes.webs.com)

Geez, I didn't know, people know that site Good to hear that (I'm the creator). I do use exactly that two algos mentioned there.
I can't see the problem with them
I am executing them from exactly that position. Can you maybe try to explain what exactly messes up?

Yeah, i've been learning off that site too! I average 21.60 with half of the cmlls. The L orientations look scary.
Waffle, how do you go about doing it one handed? I can't seem to get the angle right on the table.
