[Help Thread] Roux Discussion and Help

[GuRoux]

Spoiler: Hint

You should stick with Roux

Haha, I really find it funny that you know more CMLL's than me, and Roux is supposed to be my main method

it took three months of procrastination for me to fully finish it, it really helps your times and keeps you consistent, finish them!

Lol. I know 3/7 and I know lots of algs for other cases just not Roux optimized.

Also, sub-20 ao5! Details in accomplishment thread.

 

[GuRoux]

congrats, If you keep practicing and finish up your CMLL, you can break the sub 20 barrier with ease. I think I actually finished my CMLLs when I was around 17 seconds.

Thanks. I hope it helps me sub-20. I'll probably learn it all by Christmas.

Yeeessss!

Finally, I get a sub-15 official average!

Set on Hungarian Open 2013, first round:
14.71, (14.31), (15.44), 14.55, 15.00
Average: 14.75

I was surprised, my normal average is a little above 15. None of the scrambles were exceptionally easy (or hard).

Gj Renslay! Really hoping for you to join the few really really fast (like sub-12/13) Rouxers!

Once upon a time in a galaxy not so far away.. infact.. this galaxy, I averaged 16 and knew no CMLL's

Being honest, I still know no CMLL's.. I'm half way through CLL though, my signature should explain to you why.

Thank you! I hope so - I still feel that there are so much room for improvements!

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Yay! Sub-20 ao12! Sub-19 too. Info on accomplishment thread.

4.24-7.28-3.84-6.08

Did mo25 for each. Like 1/2 CMLL. Is second block weakest? Or LSE?

It's really hard to say, I think it should be easy to get better at LSE. Does it take you a while to recognize a case? Or do you have to practice mid slices?

I agree with guroux, LSE is something to work on and can be improved quickly.

Probably recognition. I have trouble with UL/UR a lot. And EO to UL/UR transition.

For UL and UR practice tracking them while doing EO slowly, also remember that your UL and UR pieces have the two unique colors on the U face i.e., if your UL and UR colors are the yellow and red edge and the yellow and orange edge, all you have to look for is the red sticker and the orange sticker since the other edges who have that color have already been solved. Also, don't be afraid to use M moves to make placement of UL and UR edges easier.

I actually no longer use CMLLs that are not just CLLs anymore. CLL is king.

Ok. Yeah I need to work on LSE as a whole too. Part of what throws me off is being y-axis neutral and having to remember which pieces I am looking for.

Uhm, I don't understand that. Could you rephrase it?

 

[Kirjava]

I don't use algs that are CMLL exclusive.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

So I can do a 5.21 ao50 LSE. Interesting. I can do that in solves though. What do you think are ideal splits for averaging sub-20 (say 19)?

Well I average about 17-18 and my break is roughly 3 6 5 3 because 2-Look cases for CMLL and terrible SB look ahead
