My accomplishment:
I've had about 40 people learn to solve the cube at school in the past 6 weeks.
It's spreading like wildfire here!

same, because i performed at the talent show

 

[Etotheipi]

Nice! (I know nothing about squan so i dont know how good it is)

 

[Gašper Potočnik]

3X3 Average(i just destroyed all)

 

[aerocube]

n o o o o
3.85 2x2 pb fail
coulda beaten my oldest standing record,but it stands once more
EDIT:YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I JUST BEAT IT,3.15 with 2 move 1st layer and sune

 

[aerocube]

ok so my day just got even better
30.41,beats my oldest 3x3 pb of 30.90
very nice cross,basically took me 2-3 seconds,i had 2 f2l pairs inserted by 8 seconds,then i knew i had to clutch it

Week of Roux Day 4 was very discouraging. My average was 26.5. I didn’t plateau, I went backwards, trying hard to get faster. Oh well. Maybe I’ll do a bunch of FB-only (probably biggest room for improvement) practice tomorrow and learn CMLL’s and maybe find some tricks from Kian. I’m not sure right now.
Day 1- 30.4 avg
Day 2- 28.1 avg
Day 3- 25.8 avg
Day 4- 26.5 avg

This isn’t much of an accomplishment, so maybe this doesn’t belong here?

How did the rest of the week go? Regression is a normal step on the road to improvement.

Today I improved my Roux solving with a sub-50 average of 12, a sub-45 average of 5, and a new PB of 35 seconds.

I'm experimenting with Petrus style corners, instead of using 3-cycle commutators for everything. If I can solve the corners in one look with a 3-cycle I do so, but if I have to do a 2-look solution, I permute all corners correctly (using Niklas or Eve) with my first look. I can then solve orientation with Sune or a corner twist commutator, which are both very easy to recognize and execute.

Glad you asked!
I really didn't try much for the last few days, so currently I avg ~24.5 with Roux. I technically did reach my goal of sub-25, but don't feel that accomplished.
Although I am still glad I did it, because it was an interesting other world, and I even got some skills that makes my regular solves better.

GL with your Roux improvement!

I got a 12.15 PR yesterday with the Dayan TengYun!!!!

Is Roux your main method?

okay now this craziness is over (i think)
48 ao100 down o 46

the mf3rs3 m is godly

 

[dudefaceguy]

Is Roux your main method?

Yes. I started with Heise. When I learned 4x4, I had to come up with a way to address corner parity, since the Heise method doesn't work on 4x4. After I made an intuitive 4x4 method using commutators, I realized that my 4x4 method was just Roux when adapted to the 3x3. So I started solving 3x3 with Roux, using my own corner method.

I know it's probably worse than two-look CMLL, but I like it because it's mine. I'll also never have to worry about forgetting algorithms if I take a long break, since I can do the whole thing intuitively with commutators.

I use 3-style for 3BLD. I'm not a god at commutator knowledge, but would the H and Pi cases take 2 commutators, since they are all 4 corners that have to be oriented? anyway, it's cool that you're coming up with your own algs and good luck improving with Roux!

Thanks! Those cases wouldn't necessarily use two 8-move commutators, but yes, it would be two looks. It's only one-look 40% of the time. I explain it in step 2 of my 4x4 method here: https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/threads/intuitive-4x4-method-with-parity-avoidance.73049/

My Phase 2 was stupidly lucky, but my Phase 1 was somewhat normal (although still better than average)
