5BLD and PandaCuber's Roux tutorial

[A Leman]

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.

The first thing I see is
x2y
F'uUr2B
a easy block to see and fast to make followed by

RrU'MU'RU Square (12)
R2U'R'U2RU'R'UR Block (21)
U R'ULU'RUL' CMLL (30)
U' M'U'M UM2U M'U2M' LSE (40)

The second block could have been more efficient but spaming RU is easy and fast.

Wow. No idea how I missed that one. That's an awesome block.

Could you make some example LSE solves, in which you show, how you do your M slices and what you do, 5BLD?

He's competing.

I know

today i was cubing about 5 hours only slowturning and solves to improve my movecount

Avg 5: 18,57 ---> 14,59
Avg 12: 19,87 ---> 15,77
Avg 100: 22,12 ---> 17,99

And I have learned all the Pi and H cases, and 3 F cases of CMLL
I decided to switch from CFOP to Roux, because Roux is AWESOME !!!!

But I wil stay at fridrich when doing big cubes or Onehanded, but i think, my average of CFOP which was about 10,3 will be enough to be good at OH and big cubes DDDD

 

[already1329]

Wow you improved a lot.

 

[arcio1]

Avg 100: 22,12 ---> 17,99

In 5 hours?!

 

[Speedmaster]

It was the best Avg 100 of my day ;D

The inspection time was about 30s or more. I try to get my movecount down, my FB is sub 8 moves, but then there's a big pause between FB and SB

i love this method and I really want to get fast but now I'm doing slowturning to get better look ahead, especially when pairing pairs through the M slice.

 

[already1329]

Average of 12: 14.73

14.33, 15.77, 13.65, 14.69, 14.21, (18.16), 16.52, 14.03, (13.56), 15.06, 14.21, 14.78

 

[Georgeanderre]

Roux is AWESOME !!!!

One shall not disagree.

But I will stay at Friedrich when doing big cubes or one handed

Nooo, why change to an awesome method for two hands only to do another for one handed.. this is not a good idea.

 

[Speedmaster]

I decided to use ZZ for OH so I have to know 3 methods for the things I want to do

I think Roux isn't very good for OH

 

[Georgeanderre]

I think Roux isn't very good for OH

An honest opinion at least.. and ZZ isn't all that different I suppose.

It is good if you have any problems with co-ordination as you don't have to move your fingers that fast to get relatively good times (sub 30).

I moved to OH Roux from OH CFOP and my OH times went from 50 seconds to 35 in a single night.. since then I have had several sub 30 singles and a sub 31 average.

 

[Speedmaster]

I'm sub 20 with CFOP OH and I think , my times won't get better if I use Roux for OH, because, I can't do M slices with one hand

 

[Georgeanderre]

I'm sub 20 with CFOP OH and I think , my times won't get better if I use Roux for OH, because, I can't do M slices with one hand

Table abuse and a loose M axis can help in that department.

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

ZZ is superior to Roux for OH. Period. No discussion needed.

 

[waffle=ijm]

As a seasoned and well breaded OH Roux user. I personally believe that Roux cannot surpass ZZ or CFOP in OH.

 

[Ickathu]

yeah I think ZZ is generally the best for OH. After that, I'd say petrus and CFOP would be about the same. Roux for OH is kinda slow, even with good table abuse.

 

[5BLD]

I think roux isnt hopeless for OH, its low movecount is a huge strength. The only problem is none of us have bothered getting fast.
Idk if ZZ is better tbh.

 

[MWilson]

First no-pause sub-20 focusing on efficiency! I have a best avg12 of 13.16s with fast turning, but focusing on efficiency and look ahead is going to get me further in the long run.

I'm getting better
There wasn't any time to do solves this week, except of yesterday...., i've learned all CMLLs except of the sunes and antisunes in two days and yesterday I did a CMLL average of 200 it was sub 3, the reco was getting a lot better
I did a few solves this morning and my average is somewhere at 17s, my FB is pretty good, movecount is always sub 9, the problem is the SB, I don't really know, how to do it sub 12...
And there are some cases, I can't solve at the end of the solve...
