Nice! Since pretty much everyone in this thread has been working on 5x5 the last couple of weeks, we should do a 5x5 race thread.
On a brighter note, I mixed in a Roux solve. I have my first official 28 seconds Roux solve
Sure! I'll post it!I'd be up for that if you're offering to run it.
Wow. Well done!
I did not time myself for the first two weeks but have started this week. I am averaging between 35 and 40 seconds now. (I remember the first few timed solves being around 1.20 - 1.30 so I gained a lot) Since my second round was not good anyway I decided to do a Roux solve. But in the second roud I did not film anything (in the hope of having no pressure and doing great). At home I have been getting more and more sub 30 Roux solves. But they all depend on luck.. In the competition I did a few rotations to do a quick insert the Fridrich way.. so that was a kind of cheating. When I practice at home I do not do that but only use M slice to pair up. That is how it is supposed to be done anyway.. Roux is easy to learn, but hard to master. Much harder than Fridrich imho because for all F2L cases are many algs available. In Roux, the block building and last 6 edges are intuitive.. So that requires lot's of practice.. I will continue for at least two months or so (like I did with Color Neutral) and then decide if I stay with Roux.Thanks!
), but it's definitely much better than doing it by solving the D layer edges first.
I wanted to film a sub 30 solve.. I had filmed more than 30 solves with no sub 30..LOL, but then this sub 25 came
