Huge congrats to Kian! I think this is the first ever OH WR to not be set with CFOP, and the first WR with Roux. And hopefully, it won't be the last either He still has one more round left, so he should be able to improve this even further.

 

[PapaSmurf]

That 15 would be pretty good for me. But for him it’s the only non sub 10. Hats off to you Kian!

 

[cubeshepherd]

That is really cool and I am glad for Kian to have gotten the WR, it is nice to see the practice pay off for him. Well done Kian and try to re-break it in the next round.

 

[Gomorrite]

I thought this day would never come... but I was wrong. Congratulations!

 

[WombatWarrior17]

First Roux WR, wow!

 

[Hazel]

Yeah finally!! Amazing job Kian, we knew you could do it

 

[The Pocket Cuber]

Good job! I’ve always known Roux was a good method, (but tbh I think SSC is better). But great job! Breakthrough in cubing.

 

[weatherman223]

I freaking knew it would happen today! Huge congrats!

 

[FireCuber]

note: When calculating STM, I removed any mistakes, since here, STM is only meant to measure the efficiency of the intended solution. ETPS is a better measure of turn speed

When your three counting solves average 43 moves per solution, getting WR makes a lot of sense.

Roux is wonderful.
