5BLD and PandaCuber's Roux tutorial

I already know how to solve roux, but i want to know if i should solve the two blocks at the same time?

 

[Cubenovice]

read the page...

 

[solvelecewbe]

solve the first block by making a 1x2x2 block then put a cfop pair in it

then do the same for the second block, do the blocks separatly

once you get good at that, just try to solve the blocks in as less moves as possible

I wouldn't recommend it unless you did it well, which is a hard thing to do.

I wouldn't recommend it unless you did it well, which is a hard thing to do.

Can you do it, 5BLD?

Just practice - I've just started as well. Practice just doing L and R parts of the cross, then insert all four pairs. After a while, look at some videos or try some reconstructions and try to learn from them.

For CMLL, just use your OLL and PLL.

For LSE, look at either Gilles Roux Tutorial, PandaCuber and 5BLD's Tutorial, or Waffo's. Actually, just learn everything from there.

I'm sub-30 now

Can you do it, 5BLD?

Yeah, i can do it quite well if I am going slowly. Even then I usually begin with a square to male it easier

21.44s single using Roux...

Trying to sub-20 soon.

 

[PandaCuber]

5BLD can do anythinggggg.
Do what feels righttt. But if nothing goes right, go left.

Haven't cubed in a while
Hoping to start again soon.
Maybe I'll get sub 20 :>
That'd be pretty cool.

This is the only site you ever need ever.

 

[Endgame]

This is the only site you ever need ever.

meh maybe the CMLL thread for good algs

 

[PandaCuber]

This is the only site you ever need ever.

this site is pretty good.

 

[arcio1]

Some improvement here!
mo100: 19.91
ao12: 17.99
ao5: 17.28

ao5 like this at Euro please!

Little progress with CFOP so decided to switch to Roux

 

[Ickathu]

Someone give me a good First block for this: U' F' U' D F' B2 L F U2 L U2 F R2 F2 U2 B R2 U2 F' R2 D2
A whole solve would be nice, and a W/Y U/D would be preferred. I don't see anything I can do efficiently...
Here are my attempts at FB.
x2 y'
F U R F U F' R U2 R B' U' B // 12

y x
U' L2 U2 L' u2 R U R U' F2 // 10

y2 x
U R U' R' D2 R U2 F' // 8

That last solution is actually kinda nice, but I still think there's something better.

This scramble is actually nice In speedsolve I would probably do:
z2 y'
F' U2 L2 F2 U M' B' U' B2 (9)
U M' R' U R U2 R U' R' (9)
R U R' U R U2 R' L' U' L U' L' U2 L (14)
U2 M2' U' M' U2 M' U' (7)
M' u2 M' u2 M2' (5)
44 STM

Or with this FB there is nice non-matching SB, but with worse ending:
FB (9)
U2 R2 U R U2 r U R' (8)
R U R' U R U2 R2' U' R U' R' U2 R (13)
U' M' U M' U M U M' (8)
U2 M' U2 M U' M2' U' (7)
r2 U2 M' U2 M (5)
50 STM
