pretty obvious, but:
x2 y
R' U M U' M' F'
R U R U2 r' U' r U2 R U2 R' U' r U r'
U2 R U2 R' U' R U' R2' U2' R U R' U R
U2 M' U M' U M U M' U M U2 M U
48 STM=5.3 tps yay finally 5 tps...

well ok..... another sub 9 with no mis scramble 8.34:
F L2 D2 F' U2 R2 D2 R2 F U2 F R B F2 R F2 R2 D' L' U' B'

thats really nice. would you think of that in a speedsolve?

I would do my first 2x2 less efficiently, than that, but other than that bit, that's all a speedsolve (just a very lucky one ). My first 2x2 was almost the same as yours btw; I just think Rw moves are faster than M moves when you're doing stuff like that.

Yeah and the Rw/r instead of M setup better second block. Got anything to say about my 8.34? I bet guroux would pb it like sub 6 and ryan would sub 7.5.... my tps stil soo bad.

no, not y color neutral remember.

no, not y color neutral remember.

Dude like 3 move fb and you can just do a y before scrambling.. im not x2 but i use x2 blocks if they are super easy

ok, i'll try with y before scrambling, but first solve of the day.

Lol ok this will be funny. I hate it wehn I start timing and have like 16 s ao 5 then get a scramble that could be sub 10 if I was warmed up but I fail and get like a typical 12....

No, my solution was less efficient than yours, even after stealing your FB. I would never have seen that

wow lol. I think it was sort of accidental

 

[MarcelP]

What? Come on! Even I am x2, y CN.. But then again.. I am very slllllooooooow..

non cn is best cn [emoji4]

Pls.

Sooo, I am already CN with CFOP, but I solve the red, orange, green or blue as my starting block keeping either white or yellow on bottom. (I dont know what you call this neutrality) So should I try being CN? CN with Roux is much more difficult than CFOP.

no your neutrality is fine. This is called x2 y neutrality, which is more than me, the same as tdm and ryan and rouxbikscube. Yeah full CN is very hard to get fast with roux.

That's called x2/y neutrality. That's (imo) the best type of CN with Roux; I don't think you should try full CN, but others will disagree. It's definitely much harder than with CFOP and imo it doesn't give much of an extra advantage. You can already use any 1x2 pair in your first block.

no your neutrality is fine. This is called x2 y neutrality, which is more than me, the same as tdm

No I'm usually only y-neutral, but I'll do yellow on D if and only if there are no 1x2 pairs for a white block and there is for yellow.

 

[Berd]

I'm x2 y colour neutral using roux [emoji39]

i'm trying to become x2 y2 and oneday, maybe, x2 y.
