This tutorial will explain how to use Matt's Block to solve the first two steps of the Roux Method.

So I figured...questions.
Mhm, it allows for good look a head and recognition.effective?
For only having a few months of practice with it, and being completely not colour neutral in the least, I'm sub-25 with it, and have achieved sub-20 non-lucky times with it, I think sub-15 is possible.fast?
It is more of an intermediate approach.why recommend this over traditional roux block building?
Because restrictions are usually a good thing for less advanced cubers and allow for very fast, fluid solves.why restrict moves when I can do anything I want for blocks and it just as fast?
Nice bump, mini. :|
Do blocks however you want. There's no reason to always do them the same way. That's like *always* doing cross pieces in a certain order. It's stupid.
EDIT: Waffle, aren't you going to defend the traditional way of doing Roux?
Hey waffle, is your "stop using roux" signature seirous?
You have been using Roux for such a long time, and have gotten so good at it, that this approach is unsuitable for you.1) I have a very low move count for the first block. usually 9-10
That's because you're not used to insertin FL and BL while looking ahead, it takes some time to get used to.2) Inserting FL and BL piece only gives me more to think about and I become less concentrated in looking ahead to the next block
Not everyone can get sub-30 with Heise, your blockbuilding skills are amazing so again, this approach is unsuitable for you.3) I avg about 2-3 seconds for the first block using the shortest moves that i can find.
Again, you are talking about yourself, not every other cuber here.4) I see no point in making the lower 1x1x3 when I can pretty much do each block with 1.5 looks.
In conclusion, this is a stepping stone towards full-out 1 look blocks. Because you are so advance, this approach is impractical for you, but to get to where you are now, you had to start somewhere. What I am proposing is a different way of getting to 1 look blocks.Overall Matt's block is too complex having to break down the blocks into 2+ steps. Roux block building is to simplify the solves, not make it more complex.
good answers. I only replied due to your request.
Use what method of block building you want. though I recommend 1x2x2 to 1x2x3. I say that this is also a valid start.
Erik's Awesome Sig said:Block building is not for the weak hearted.
I don't think this will help people get better at block building. they should just start off with regular roux.
Or you could just use roux.

i'm sick of roux users proclaiming they are "rebels."
I fear that more people who use roux, the more so-called rebels will be there so I urge people to stop using roux if you just want to be rebels.
Anymore and I think I'll stop using roux and cubing altogether.
