[Help Thread] Roux Discussion and Help

[maps600]

It won't happen because CFOP is easier to learn after the beginner's method, so more people learn it, not because CFOP is cool. I refuse to accept that CFOP is cool.

If Roux ever takes the world record average and single then I believe more people will try to learn Roux as their first speedsolving method.

is neil sub 10 consistently?

don't know, but i'm sure he's gotten sub 10 averages.

You can view my solve in the Race to Sub-30 thread..

I couldn't see much because of that light, but it looks like you're spending lots of time looking for the next piece. If you start looking ahead, it should help loads. From what I could tell, the second block looks better than the first, could you do another solve with the camera on the left?

Sure. I'll do one soon. I'll be trying to improve vid quality as well. Might film in a different place...

Nice. Been waiting for see a new average vid from you.

1) Any chance you can flip the vid? It looks weird to follow.
2) What's your chess rating if any? Classical and blitz.
3) What part of SD are you from?
4) What's your background? Your last name is funky

1) if someone tells me how i will do it.
2) on chess.com blitz live is 1825 and corresspondence is 1875. My official uscf is 1688 but i haven't played in tournaments for a long time. Probably high 1800s because that's what i consistently perform.
3) carlsbad
4) thai and chinese

Cool. SD is great You should do chessbase instead. Much better competition.

no better competition, just a smaller player pool.

Who are the fastest OHers with Roux? The only ones I can think of are Alex, Waffo, and Thom.

kaijun is probably the second best at roux one handed.

Hello. I use roux as my main method, and my PB times are in my signature down below. My solve breakup is usually 8 second for first 2 blocks, 1, 2, or 3 seconds for (full) CMLL (depending on the case), and 4 or 5 seconds for my LSE, with minimal pauses (other than a third of a second for CMLL). I am always working on blocks, and I am getting faster. I know my CMLL is slow, but I'm working on that too. What I'm worried about is my LSE. I have been stuck at 4/5 seconds since i was averaging 30 seconds, and I feel that I can improve to 3 maybe 2 seconds, but I can't seem to eliminate unnecessary turns between steps. For example, after orienting edges (4a) I always do an M' to line up centers (white or yellow on top) and then continue with L and R edges. Any tips?
