Heh, thats kinda what I had in mind, thank you! And I know this must have been asked a million times already, but do you have any tips for blockbuilding? Right now, the only way I make pairs is by putting the edge piece in the DF, and the corner in the U layer and then matching them up.

And yeah, I'll probably learn it at that time.

Well, for FB just take a cube and, without any time restrictions, just lookat at all the way in which you can create a pair (can be any sort not just F2L style pairs), then all the ways to form a square, then whole FB. For SB it's essentially the same as what you already do.

Edit: any tips for me?https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=baoJb_bMnzE
Any yes today was not a good LSE day.

Your turning style is beautiful
First blocks were good, work on second blocks though; ik they're a pain but slow down and less choppiness, cmll is actually really good and try to learn all of the eo cases so they become muscle memory, for example: if i see a case, i can do eo bld but also try to influence ul ur during eo, this will increase the efficiency of the LSE and make you faster in the long run.
 
Thanks. How can they be done in random order from memory?

Or is there a random image or list generator?

remembering to do every case is the hard part. I personally just do then in order of J-perm, Y-perm, H set, Pi set, U set, T set, Sunes, Antisunes, and lastly the L set.
 
Awesome, thanks.

On another topic, is it better to do one hand Roux with my left hand since I'm right handed,
and is there a guide for which finger movements to use on which cubes, especially the first block?

which hand you use is personal preference. just pick one and stick with it.

personally unless you find it very east to mirror algorithms I think it would be better to use your left as most of the algs you would have learned are right handed with lots of R moves which is good for your pinky
 
I average around 18 seconds with Roux (the sub-15 ao100 was very easy blocks every time :p)
My LSE is around 5 seconds, CMLL at about 2 and F2B around 12. What should I work on to get faster? I feel like I am fairly inefficient.
Will post solves later.

your CMLL is great, so work on blox. your lse is meh, but your blocks should be like 8 seconds. try for 3-5-2-5.
