[Help Thread] Roux Discussion and Help

Hello from a new Roux user! Yesterday I completed my first Roux solve under the guidance of Donovan's Roux Tutorial (LubixCube). After hundreds of boring CFOP solves it is a breath of fresh air. :)
 
Hello all :) can anyone help me to find the shortest f2b solution? Nice scramble, but i confused for second block :( best try 13 moves

So now I've switched to Roux. Yeah Yeah I'm sub 20 with CFOP now, but I'm still bored. Every time I pick up a 3x3, I fall asleep. Any tips for blocks?
The main thing that I'm finding different about Roux is that blocks are really hard to make compared to the cross. I know the answer is practice, but is there any point in Timing yourself when it takes you like 15 moves to make the FB? Also, I pause in LSE a lot and especially UL/UR. I want to be x2/y but since the UL/UR changes most of the times I pause.
Well,anyway I'm happier now even if I am slow with Roux.

When doing untimed solves, take as much time as you need to inspect. Try to find the best solution you can. If it helps, compare your solutions to optimal solutions on jarcs.
