i solve the second block by making an edge then two pairs (f2l)
helps

not really. in fact it doesn't help. it prevents you from learning new and efficient ways of doing blocks.

my time splits: 14-3-5
what should I improve? LOLOL
first block feels kinda awkward to me, dunno why exactly, and my 2nd block look-ahead, simply, it exist does not.
Btw, I picked naming-cubes-thngy from waffle and now I play with my Fedora all the time.
EDIT: I hate when bottom color of one corner from second block faces up, it reminds me so much on cfop, which I hate.
EDIT2:
Average of 5: 19.50
1. (15.36)
2. 17.47
3. 21.70
4. 19.34
5. (22.17)

I do the same but only because 6 people at College all have ZhanChis ... and as you could guess, they are all exactly the same :confused: so as a group we named them all, they are Fred, Alex, Joey, Matty, Jolene and 1 other that I can't remember
When anyone wants a cube it's easier to say a name than try to describe the cube in terms of how chipped stickers are, whether or not it has anchors or which cap has tipex under :rolleyes:

ik i was saying help me
how can i pull away from that
i dont understand how you can solve the second block with two pieces, then one then two

F2L pair at the bottom (RDB+RD), M pair the middle edge (RD) then finish with the last F2L pair (RDF+RF) ... I don't do this at the moment but I should probably start doing so

R2U'M2UR2 etc.
But ew. I think that is worse than doing DR first or even than doing S moves (or rotating and M if its awkward) like I did in this video:
You really don't want to do it with 1x1x3 first or any ways which end with inserting single pieces.
The way I do it is certainly not the best, but although appears pretty terrible it doesnt waste many/any moves. I find DR edge in inspection then track it as I track two random pieces of a pair. I make/insert the pair as I insert the edge then if not done already insert the pair. Then last pair.
If you wanna start with 1x2x2 imo you should start it with an edge that is already/like 2 moves away from solved. Ofc if theres an easy pair go for it but if you're stuck for which one is blindingly easier (which you shouldn't be) go for inserting an edge while making or preserving a pair.

I'm around 25 seconds now with Roux . I think with a month or two of practice I will be better at it than ZZ.
I've read though, that permuting L & R during EO is something that is quite easy to do. Can anyone describe roughly how I would go about doing that?

Scramble: U M2 U' M U2 M2 U' M2 U' M' U2 M U M' U' M U2 M' U2 M' U2 M U2 M U
Setting up case: M' U2 M' U M U' M2 U' y2
As you can see LR edges are orange and red. there we have moo and in order to orient, the answer is <M>.
Now alll you gotta do is insert LR edges in the correct location. <U' M2>
Place edge to corresponding center<U>
Re-orient MCenters <M'>
Solve <U2 M2 U2>

Yep started improving (After like forever being stuck)
Second block lookahead just magically happened...
Still have some things That I want to learn (By hand) soon.
Quick unmatching centers recognition.
4C (Magically figured out that UB/UF don't move when solving UL/UR (Could probably one look like all of EO LSE)
Lastly finding fast ways to do first block (Because sometimes it might be short but not fast)

You can do stuff like panda said- very interesting stuff with 'free centres'. Also, when you orient, and you do <M><U><M> to flip stuff, try doing say U instead of U'. Like here's scrambles and what I'd do.
Scramb: M2 U M' U' M' U M2 U M U' M' U M U' M U2 M' U2 M U2 M U M' U M2
Solve: U2MUM' UM'U2M'U M'U2M'U2
Comment: this is just a little trick which you should know AFTER EO...
Scram: M2 U2 M2 U2 M U' M U' M2 U M' U M' U2 M U' M U M' U' M U2 M U' M
Solve: UMU'MU'M'UM' U'M2U' M2U2M'U2M'
Comment: Aha! This 2-flip LR edges case is cool too. Know it. Love it.
If u want more tell me..

Thanks for the tutorial. I got bored of fridrich, so started roux. I'm only averaging 1 min 30, half an hour after starting, but its so fun!
Edit: Make that 45 seconds!

Nice tutorial, I'm switching to Roux!
With CFOP I'm sub 23 after 5 months, but still I want to switch I began yesterday and now I'm about 45 seconds I think I will record myself and ask about tips
