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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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?
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)...
Hope everyone is well! I'm Bryan. I learned the beginner method on a 3x3x3 cube about 6 years ago, then went on to learn the basics of the 2x2x2 cube, and the 3x3x3 pyraminx and megaminx. I was averaging somewhere around 45 seconds on the 3x3x3, but, long story short, I haven't had a cube for...
