Yep. Blue right to orange is all you need to remember 
Don't look at the centers during cross, just finish the cross with a D/D'/D2

You see, there is still so much room for improvement 
Crosses is still my weakest part. Although I have come a long way.

After practicing Roux for two days I did a Ao12 on normal CFOP. I had a 28.16. Wow a PB, I kept going and broke my Ao50 also with my first sub 30.

Thanks! I now honoustly can say I am sub 30 . Well, at least today I am You will get there soon enough. As soon as you will have learned all the pll's you will start making much better results.

Learning them is one thing. Seeing the situations and applying the right PLLs is a total other thing lol

Okay, I did my first timed Roux Ao12. And I must say I am very surprised. I expected a lot worse:
Best average of 12: 1:14.55
1-12 - (2:11.05) 1:31.13 1:30.85 1:06.57 1:03.11 1:35.37 1:13.17 1:03.35 1:02.70 (46.85) 1:18.78 1:00.42
I will continue with Roux for a while and see if I get some quick improvement.

Have you tried increasing your TPS? Slow turning is good and all but you really don't need it to get good times. When I averaged about 40 seconds I would do the sexy move for like 10 minutes straight, trying to increase my TPS because even then it felt weird holding the cube. And after doing that for about a week my times dropped because I could turn faster. Surely this will apply to you too with just some practice.

10 minutes straight? Oh... my... my hand would be probably be cramping or something. I just practice PLLs. I wonder how do other people practice getting their PLLs fast?

Its easy if you are watching TV or something. And for PLL's most people just do them over and over because practice makes perfect.

Nah, that can't be possibly true. I bet you are even one handed faster then me on Roux
Well, Roux is very simple to pick up. It's very hard to master. It just comes down to this:
-Build first block on the left
-Buid second block on the right with just R, r M and U
-Do one of the two step OLL to get all corners yellow
-If you have headlights perform the J-perm to permute the corners (with headlights on the left)
-If you do not have headlights perform the Y-perm to permute corners.
-Fix all bad egdes iterally with M'UM' or M'U2M' (this is a kind of tricky but I got it after an hour or so)
-When all bad edges are gone, solve the rest intuitively with U and M.
I have tried. It seems like my PB is 17 seconds that must be around 3.5 tps. I think that is about the fastest my hand will do for me.
I am okay with that

I'm not kidding. You would lose the bet. I suck at Roux. It's probably easier if I do the left and right blocks Fridrich style, but that's not what Roux is about. When I try to throw Fridrich out the window and get "efficient", I have no clue what I'm doing. But then I haven't practiced. And when I need to fix the bad edges, it can be a pain because I'm just guessing. Want me to prove that I'm worse than you?
Ok, here's proof:
Average - 1:22.60
1:16.70, 1:24.92, 1:17.62, 1:20.90, 1:35.71, 1:18.88, 1:09.35, (2:00.98), 1:44.45, 1:09.35, (1:05.71), 1:28.07

LOL. I feel real special now you know? I would never dreamed on being faster in anything than you. I haven't practiced really eighter. I have been trying to figure out the method over the last two days. Maybe one hour per day
I think one week from now I could be sub 1 minute.. I will give it a try. I think Roux is real fun.

Glad you feel special.
Hmm... I don't think I can devote an hour a day to Rouxing. But maybe I will try to practice a bit and see what happens. So maybe we can race each other on Roux hehe. Give it a try? Why not...Ok, first Ao12 with Roux today: 1:04.70. Your turn.
(1:23.99), 1:04.65, 1:04.31, 47.58, 57.34, 58.71, 1:06.76, 1:14.05, 1:19.65, 1:04.57, (40.16), 1:09.42
Edit: PB Ao12 with Roux: 57.63
58.42, 55.26, (1:12.70), 1:09.65, 51.87, 52.26, (39.28), 1:06.78, 1:05.85, 1:04.17, 44.87, 47.19

How about after we graduate the sub-30 thread we both re-enter with Roux? Or were you planning to do OH next? Me, I didn't really start doing OH until I graduated from sub-20. But then it went fast.

Ah a new PB aswell..
Best average of 12: 1:11.78
1-12 - 1:05.14 1:35.63 56.97 1:31.69 1:23.76 (1:46.62) 1:19.49 57.28 1:17.16 59.45 51.20 (42.12)
Yes, I think that is a good thing to do. I have promised guusr to start on learning full oll so we can compete at work in lunch time. He averages sub 20 so there is still a lot of work to do I will do boring olls now for a month or so, but I will do every day a few Roux solves just to be in shape when I graduate race to sub 30.
