Oh great, And the Giiker cube program shows blue for front instead of green. Gahhh!
FTFY? What's that mean?
FTFY? What's that mean?
My advice would be to check algsheets (I know that at least Kian has one specifically for SB), watch example solves, and do slow solves for practice. There's a block trainer for SB here that has full SB, square, and pair, to maybe check that out.I average around high 20s, and SB takes almost twice as long as FB, whats the best way to improve SB efficiency?

Why don’t you, instead of trying to track RD (I avg 16 and I don’t always do that) just, at the beginning of the solve make sure you know what edge you’re looking for so you can look for it without pausing to think about what you need to look for.So, I've just done some solves with splits on cstimer, and I didn't think that I had that much of a problem with SB:
I though that my 2look CMLL were slowing me, but from this session, it's clear that it can wait. (I know I'll have to improve my LSE too).

I think I'll have to solve SB in a more algorithmic way. I tend to "panic" once FB is done, and some time I don't even remember what RD should be… So I'll try to track RD more from now on.
The two sub-10 SB were when a pair was already made + RD was easily spotted -> 1st square was easy and I was more relaxed for the last pair.
I think I'll have to do more last pair of second block too. When I train, I usually can think of a short solution and can do it blindfolded. But during a solve, I don't think I am that efficient… Again, I have problem finding the pieces if they are not right in front of me.
So if you have any tips to share.
yup! it’s called EOLR (figures) and people like Kian and Sean know it well. (algset) I don’t know what the probability was, but that’s pretty rare. probs one in like 200 or soSo I've been learning about roux(I use CFOP currently), and I was wondering what should I do to improve? I assume it will have to do with First Two Blocks, as I'm basically just doing F2L, but I don't know what exactly I should be doing.
Also, I did a roux solve and after CMLL all I had to do was Bars(M2 U2 M2 U2) to solve it. Is there a name for skipping EO and L/R edges? and if so, how unlikely is it?
Thanks!
Yeah, that would just be called an EOLR skip. There's a 1/960 or 0.104166666% chance, so it's not very common.Also, I did a roux solve and after CMLL all I had to do was Bars(M2 U2 M2 U2) to solve it. Is there a name for skipping EO and L/R edges? and if so, how unlikely is it?
I also recently started seriously learning Roux and I found that watching example solves was helpful. As you've noted, it can be hard to break out of an F2L mindset, so it's important to see blockbuilding techniques.So I've been learning about roux(I use CFOP currently), and I was wondering what should I do to improve?
