I've been doing a lot of Roux solves lately (not sure if I want to switch yet). I average sub-30 with Roux now (this fluctuates a ton. I can get sub-20 singles and sup-40s too).
Seems like I'll be coming over to this thread a lot more often now
If you post examples of how you would do a speedsolve in the example solve thread, not only a short FM solution (though you can do that too if you'd like!), I'd tell you (and others might too, idk) how I do certain F2B cases in ways that CFOP users wouldn't do, if I know a better solution - but there are still some cases I don't know good algs for.I would think im fairly decent at block building because of my FMC experience, but we'll see about that. I think my main issue is dealing with bad CFOP F2L cases during second block with M and r moves. Probably others face this too. My L6E appears to be ok as of now, but sometimes I accidentally do UFUB instead of ULUR
anyway I did an ao10 just now and it was 26.70
The first 25 or so solves made a 28 second average so I must be improving fast

Ikr I didnt even notice until after. Or else I wouldve tried for a 13... at least the ao 12 was decent... next 7 solves were all 11s.
Sometimes I do F moves during SB. Example: F R2 F'
Good luck! Ive always used WCA inspection. I use 4 seconds to pick a block, 7 seconds to track it, and 2 seconds to calm down and start.So I can no longer say that I'm sub 14... Probably because I recently became very strict about inspecting within the 15 second limit. Anyway, after a few weeks of anger and frustration ive finally accepted that im not as fast as i used to be, and that i was never actually as fast as i thought i was. so ive decided to reset all PBs as of now (shut up! of course that's aloud!). Hopefully i'll speed up smoothly now.
oh ya, also i just got an avg50 with sub 1sd... which is really awesome for me!
ive been using that mentality for the last 2 years and the only significant improvement in blockbuilding came when i started to do wca inspections. another plus to inspecting quickly each time is that you can get more solves done in an average which is always a positive

For 1x2x3, 9 STM will get you sub 10. For the second 1x2x3, 16 STM.
