Hey, this is an average of five I did. It's really bad.
But I wondering if you guys could give me some tips.
Btw I solve Roux.

Holy roux.

Ok so your LSE is actually fairly decent.

Work on inspection. Learn to completely plan out fb during inspection (thats what im doing right now).

What Im doing is taking as long as I need. Closing my eyes and solving FB, scrambling, rinse and repeat.

Other than that. Work on being more effecient. Typical Roux speedsolves usually take about 45 moves. You seem to be 65 move average.

 

[Phlippieskezer]

Try to get your first two blocks more efficient, and learn full CMLL some time. Your LSE should be good, at least for now.
But, really, your biggest holdback is your first two blocks.

Also - to put "really bad" into context - what do you normally average?

Thanks, I have been learning CMLL (I only know like 2.5 cases), and I've been working on doing the fb blindfolded for the last week.

I normally average low 17 high 16.

 

[mrw]

execute the alg. faster and your time should drop

 

[5BLD]

F2B efficiency. Optimise LSE.

 

[CRO]

Work on efficiency for first two blocks.

@brest, you haven't calculated tps for 4th solve

:rolleyes: lolmathfail! Fixed!

OP: Efficient block building is definitely the obvious area of improvement. Work on planning the full first 1x2x3 block during inspection, even if it takes you longer than 15sec for now. Taking more time at this stage will help you later, when the inspection time is actually relevant. /IMO

If the full block is too much for now, then maybe start by planning the 1x2x2 block during inspection and tracking the other Corner/Edge pair while you block build. Even if you have to turn very slow to begin with, always know where the other CE pair is. Practicing slow will gain you more experience and knowledge, and you'll soon find that you can increase your speed but still lookahead.

From what I've seen from the fastest Roux-ers, an efficient 1st block is very important, more so than the 2nd block. So start with the 1st, then move onto the 2nd! =)

/Not that I have good lookahead, or even speedsolve Roux...

 

[fastcubesolver]

practice, dude.

Kay thanks.
Maybe in the near future I'll upload a good ao5.
I tried what you said here for a bit (Planning out the first block in inspection), and I'm getting a ton of 15's. (I'm keeping the inspection under 15sec)

EDIT: But it won't be for a while since I have a massive blood blister right where I do M moves and it hurts. The only thing I can do right now is 2x2 and 5x5.
