    [Free App] Cube Trainer — CFOP + Roux algorithm trainer with timer

    Hi everyone! I've been working on a free app for learning and training CFOP and Roux algorithms, and I'd love to get some feedback from the community. What it does: • 176 algorithms total — CFOP (F2L 41, OLL 57, PLL 21) and Roux (CMLL 42, LSE 15) • Visual previews — 3D cube for F2L, top view...

    New method idea: Using Pinkie Pie roux variant with CFOP instead

    There is a roux variant called pinkie pie: I think this variant can be applied to CFOP. The idea is to place the UL/UR edges while doing the CFOP cross. Here is an example solve to show what I mean: B R2 B' D2 F D2 F U2 B' D2 F' R D L' F L2 D2 F U F2 // Scramble x2 // Inspection R' D F' L R'...

    Gemini Flash AI continues to come up with new tutorial ideas

    Continuing on my vibe-coding journey with Gemini Flash - which I prefer over Claude for this - an AI has now implemented solvers with follow-along step-by-step explanations and comparative move counts for LBL, CFOP, Roux, ZZ, Petrus, Heise, and Kociemba. Move counts range from over 100 for LBL...

    Cube Solver Problems (HARCS/HAGIS)

    Hey, I'm using HAGIS to try to analyze non-linear block building for roux and as far as I understand it just runs the MyMethod.txt file through 500 scrambles in HARCS and gives statistics. I'm not sure what the problem with the file is, but when I reload the file (at least in HAGIS) it says some...

    Frameworks: A structured approach to Roux blocks

    Hi all, I made a thing: Frameworks: A structured approach to Roux blocks Basically if you want to start using roux, this is how you should approach blocks (which I know is usually the sticking point). I've discussed this idea informally for a while, but I've finally gotten around to writing up...

    CMLL-Skip (1/161) method proposal

    Hey guys, is this method already existing (Maybe it’s just a sub-method of Roux. I tried to find a way to avoid CMLL intuitively.)?: CMLL-Skip-Method (Proposer: StarStarSpace, 2024) or 1/162-Method (because in one out of 162 solves you could’ve just done Roux with a CMLL-Skip) Steps (42 – 55...

    [Member Intro] I'm tRouxly glad to be here

    Starting with the Nourse method many years ago, I later switched to the (modern) beginner method, then CFOP, and then settled on Roux as my main method. Learning full CMLL was my New Year's resolution, but I had to abandon that when I realized it just wasn't going to happen. Maybe I'll learn it...

    Is have something skills make ROUX method can compete with CFOP+ZBLL

    ZBLL is 471 algs in Last layer ,cfop add ZB maybe is the best sloves.dose ROUX method have a skills like cfop+zbll? cfop+zbll need more algs(40+57+21+471 omg)//roux+???(42+?????) i mean cfop's skills maybe need big large algssssss,roux just 42 maybe enough,maybe need no more,or need how number...

    Alternative 2-Look CMLL: Permute-First

    This is how I do 2-look CMLL in Roux. I prefer intuitive solving, so I've never done a CFOP solve, and I don't have any preference for orientation before permutation. I think permutation first is easier and more intuitive, and it also has a much lower move count. Advantages: Significantly...

    Et tu Brutus? - SSRC Method Proposal

    Hey guys, Silky here!! I'm excited to share, with you all, my completed SSRC method proposal. It has taken me 4 years to complete but I am very pleased with the final result. It's been a dredge but here it goes: Intro: SSRC (Silky Sexy's Roux + Columns) was proposed in 2020. The original...

    There is an advanced screw method

    EI wanted to know if there is any website or PDF about the screw method for advanced square1,Because I thought of intermediate and advanced variants for the screw method.

    Pinkie pie is slightly better than EOLR

    This one is for the Roux nerds. I was curious as to whether Pinkie Pie is a worthwhile Roux variant, so I did a Pros & Cons analysis. By the way, here's an explanation of pinkie pie for those who are unfamiliar: Solve first two blocks as normal Solve ULUR to the bottom face (centers do not...

    Should I switch back from ZZ to Roux?

    Hello. I'm using ZZ-b (actually just ZZ-VH for 99% of my solves) (edit: actually no, I used ZZ-OP lmao) and I average around 25-35 seconds. I have trouble planning EO-line, a lot of the time I come up with a solution on the fly after I start the timer. Last layer also gets very boring after a...

    Advice/tips for OH beginner

    Hi, I'm interested in learning OH and would like to acquire some constructive advice/tips before start. Background: I've been cubing for a year, 3-style is my main method because it's intuitive. I know CFOP but have never practiced it much. Here are my OH goals: 1. No table abuse because I...

    Sub-10 with CFOP, how long to get to same times with Roux?

    Hello all, After achieving sub-10 with CFOP, I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of Roux. After a few days of practice using 2-look CMLL, I average ~14 seconds. How long do you think it will take to reach my times from before with CFOP?

    Delta Chat Cubing Group

    There is an app, Delta Chat, that is a modern chat app with a twist — it uses the email protocol so all you need is an email (preferably gmail to set up an app password, google “gmail app password for more details). I have a YouTube channel and I would like to record some head to head battles...

    trying using roux instead of LBL now Every PB is outdated, please refer to my cubedesk profile https://www.cubedesk.io/user/J727S PB (LBL): 29.661 PB (Roux):34.461 The goal is an average of sub 1 min with Roux. I only know LSE on Roux right now and using LBL for everything else(besides blocks)...
