Meh, I might try it out for a bit. See what happens. As long as it doesn't end up slower (which it hasn't so far)

can you do a few example solves? i dont quite understand what you mean.

Anyone ever had a CMLL and LSE skip?

Does color neutral help?

X2 Y

And most I ever had was a LSE skip

i've had an LSE skip

i've had an LSE skip

I've only gotten a UL and UR skip.

I've not had one, and haven't heard of anyone else having one, but someone might have done.

Does color neutral help?

Yes. Being x2y or xy2 is very helpful, as it lets you take advantage of any solved pair on a scramble.

I had a 2 move LSE once. You can count is as a skip.

Yes. x2/y color neutrality is recommended: you can build a block from any corner-edge pair, and the recognition and lookahead is not bad after some practice (at least not a nightmare like in full color neutrality). For the record, I am x2/y2 color neutral, but I'm learning.

If I'm opposite color neutral for pairs ( like I can solve yellow and white corners) and I can solve for all side in pairs, should I learn to be fully color neutral

Nah, not really. Too much effort considering that with X2 Y you can use any pair or easily creatable pair for the F2B.

Note: I will do an example solve for the LSE CMLL in a bit. I'mjust checking it through because we all know how good my notation is...

I've probably been on this forum way too much for my own good but is there any block building tips you have?

This is quite a good site to use and most of his tips are quite good (just don't learn his CMLL algs- his recog method is good though) so I would recommend giving a good read.

I've read all that and I've learned beyond that I have 10 second blocks (1st and 2nd), I was looking for more specific tips.

Ok LSE thingy
Scramble: F2 B D L U2 B R' F B' U L U' D' R2 B2 U D L2 B2

Rw2 D' M2 D' F2 L' F L2 F' y2// FB
R' U2 R' U M' U2 R2 U' Rw' U' R' U2 R U' R'// SB+ 1misoriented edge in the bottom
F' L F L U' L U L U F' L' F U' L// CMLL 4edge flip
U2 M U' M' U2 M2 U// LSE orientation+ Edge control
M U2 M'// LFE

So basically what would happen 48 move STM

(on another note, how is my block building and overall solve? )

EDIT: how about now?

do you mean 10 seconds each or in total?
TBH, the only real thing I can say is keep doing more solves so that you can get more efficient and develop your own tricks- it's one of the main differences between CFOP and Roux- CFOP is quite strict in what you do but with roux you sort of have to develop your own style that is unique to only you really.

10 seconds each, I just started a week ago.

nope.

 

[shadowslice e]

nope.

Changed. This time cube explorer says it's good (I literally copied and pasted straight across about 20 times) so pls say it actually does.
