I see, I still think I might switch because I feel that I may have more potential with roux than with cfop.

You could always go back.

Okay good, because I constantly brush my solving hand against the timer during table abuse LSE, and that's frustrating, especially when I'm on LSE at 30 seconds (average ~55)


EDIT:

Is it worth it to learn Winter and Summer variation or (can't think of the name) Last slot CLL? Just wondering because if I am going to be working on Columns first for the next few months/years and documenting algs and tips, etc, I want to know if those would really be helpful

S'called CLS. In my opinion it's not worth the few saved moves but if you wanna, go for it. The alg count for all of those put together is not at all alarming to me, it's the though of getiing them all up to speed.

As for OH LSE, just enjoy it and turn smoothly and slowly. Lockups and misalignments suck...

What are the fastest PBL algs to execute?

What are the fastest PBL algs to execute?

I use:

R2 U R2' U' R2 U R2' U' R2

R2 U' R2' U2 y R2 U' R2'

R2 U2 R2

Don't exactly know how to describe the cases, they don't seem to have names, but you should be able to figure it out.

 

[TheGoldenBear]

whats the fastest solve using the roux method? and, how do you pronounce it?

 

[aznanimedude]

Best guess is 5bld or Ithaca both of whom I am pretty sure have a sub 6 single with roux, which is pronounced like the roo in kangaroo I believe

 

[aznanimedude]

Oops when I said Ithaca I meant kirjava, stupid autocorrect

 

[HelpCube]

Is qqtimer down?

5BLD gets 5s all the time. Do you want the authentic French pronunciation or the way cubers say it?

Thanks heaps

and, how do you pronounce it?

Roo

Do you want the authentic French pronunciation or the way cubers say it?

There's a difference? Or do you just mean the French R?

 

[5BLD]

The way cubers say it: rewks
Proper way: (french R) Roo

 

[JasonK]

Do people seriously say Rewks? Not as a joke, but seriously? Wow...

Yep.

in a head-to-head 3x3 finals situation where solves happen immediately after one another, can't the second cuber watch the first cuber's solution and then just perform it with an educated lookahead? how is this fair?

 

[Ezy Ryder]

I think they're not allowed to look at opponents solving the cube.

Who is ithaca? I've done 3 5s that I remember. 5.9, 5.8 and 5.6

 

[mDiPalma]

I think they're not allowed to look at opponents solving the cube.

if that's the case, this regulation is clearly not enforced. look at the finals video from La Montagne 2012.
