5BLD's And PandaCuber's Roux Tutorial

[dbeyer]

I have started back up with cubing. I am taking it pretty seriously now. I have nmCmLL fully learned. Now here is my problem, my speedsolves are not as fast now. CmLL recognition seems to slow me down. On top of that, my slow F2B solves are about 18-25 moves. This is great I think. However, I do not solve this well when the timer is going.

Any tips?

I think 20 moves on F2B is really good...
I would say, lookahead. Practice solving something without looking at it. Anything really. And once youve mastered that, you can do that, while looking for the next solution.
You dont tps at all. (fast tps).

You dont tps at all. (fast tps).

Meaning what exactly?

I know that tps is turns per second.

 

[PandaCuber]

That you dont need to turn fast?
I feel like the only thing you need for roux is lookahead.

 

[dbeyer]

I saw the sub 15 average w/ slow turning on Waffle's guide. So, transition very very smoothly and the times will drop?

omg ._.

Roux is so sexy. Whenever i try to solve with roux, i automatically slowturn....

It feels that you get tps much faster then lookahead, and when using roux i realise that i am able to turn twice as fast as i need for my speed. its a good feeling.

exactly. smooth is sexy.

ao5: 29.08

Slowturning FTW!

20 moves for whole f2b?!

I use like 10-14 moves just for first block. D:

make it 9!

You speak of predicting the CmLL case. How do you go about that, what are you looking for?

I can really see the power of getting a look at the CmLL while inserting the last F2B edge with an M-move.

when building the SB, you can start looking at the corners to atleast look for the corner orientation. its pretty easy.

what happened to waffo's site? O_O

idk. :/

Roux PB: 9.96

The solve was pretty sick.
FB: 3 moves
SB: pretty normal
CMLL: anti-sune oll
LSE: M2 U U2 (skip?)

It felt awesome!
My cfop pb is 7.99, but sub10 after so little time spent with Roux is amazing. Roux is incredible!!

 

[5BLD]

Nice
Did you see the skip coming during CMLL?

 

[AbstractAlg]

No. I saw DF and DB solved on U with matched center so decided to solve them and then saw U was solved and in speed did U, and then U2.

 

[5BLD]

Cool, but try not to solve DFDB first-- you may get an EPLL/ELL. Scramble?
