How do you use wide moves while making first block?

 

[Kirjava]

instead of y U' L' U L y', do r U r' for example

 

[CheesecakeCuber]

Would anyone be willing to share a fast (not necessarily short) and fingertricky Six-Flip alg for Roux

 

[5BLD]

RU'r'U'M'UrUr'

 

[CheesecakeCuber]

Sorry to be a bother, but do you have an alg for the EO case with 2 bad edges on the top in the UF and UB locations?

M'UMU'M'UM'
or variations depending on ULUR edges case

Thanks very much! Sorry for the ridiculous bombardment of questions!

this is a question to all the experienced roux users out there, how long did it take you to be able to do FB blind? i've been trying for almost a week now and im no better than when i i started. i just cant seem to plan it all out in 15 seconds (it takes me about 30-40 seconds).

Just started to learn Roux the other day from some tutorials floating around (Thanks 5BLD for the 8min tutorial, also lubix). I seem to be really inconsistent with my time haha. It ranges from 40 seconds to a minute and 10 seconds. I know CFOP and am sub25. I just find Roux really fun. I'm just gonna keep tabs on this thread ^_^

EDIT: Forgot to write why I wrote here... I was just wondering if you have any tips for the FB and SB as I seem to solve them too much like CFOP F2L pairs...

I know Kirjava wrote some stuff about second block and using Wide moves in previous pages. For first block, I usually find an edge thats already paired with its center(not including D and U layer edges) and then find the matching corner and D face edge, match them up and then insert. If this is impossible or too many moves to set up, I do CFOP style

I could do it after a couple months when i avged 14ish

How the heck do you recognize the 2 confusing algorithms? Waffle called them 'Fuu~' and 'Worse than Fuu~' on this site http://wafflelikescubes.webs.com/rouxmethod.htm

I believe Ottozing wrote some helpful tips on my Roux Alternative thread in the Constructive Cubing Forum

Read it.

 

[CheesecakeCuber]

Read it.

And? You can watch 5BLD's LSE tutorial, but in the end, it's all about practicing each case until solving them becomes second nature.

Just place the solved edge at BD, then solve the FD edge intuitively with M/U moves.

Find the one edge that is not connected to a center and solve it by moving it.

It now takes around a second to recognise the case so yeah Thanks for the tip though, it could still be helpful.

Thanks, that helped me

And how can I recognize that, during turning? is there a special trick?

and another question, how do I recognise the sune CMLLs? Is there a better system than looking at RUF-UBR and then looking at the difference of UBR and UBL?

thanks

 

[YddEd]

Are there any tricks to help with block building efficiency? When I do my blocks slowly, I always get 14+ and when I speedsolve I always do 16+ moves.
