I really need to get a better avg, why am I so slow officially

Are you sure about that ranking? Am I really the 5th Rouxer in the world? :O

No. That's just the guys mentioned on the last few pages.
I'm pretty sure there are fast rouxers who aren't very active here

[cowabunga]

Gilles Roux 13.03

 

[GuRoux]

Even if I have had gone to a competition, I don't think I would be in the top 10 roux users. There's probably a whole bunch of fast roux users out there.

 

[Noahaha]

In about three years, we'll look back and laugh about when we could count the fast Roux solvers on two hands.

 

[GuRoux]

I wonder how long it would take for there to be an equal number of roux users and fridrich users in the top 100. Does anyone know what is now.

How can I improve my LSE speed?

 

[GuRoux]

I need help on last six edges too, can't get rid of 4b to 4c pause

As cliche as this sounds... practice lol.

Though to be more specific about how to practice let me ask you a few questions:
1. Do an LSE scramble, can you look at the EO case (like you would in a solve, so dont look at DB) can you close your eyes and solve the entire orientation?
2. If you said yes to number 1, while youre solving it can/do you keep track of UR/UL?
3. can you see how you will have to do 4c from 4a/4b?

I seem to have problems with "3." what should I be try to look at when finishing 4b in order to get rid of the pause.

There is actually a really good video about how to recog 4c let me see if i can find it

Here:

 

[Bestsimple]

Is there a technique to predict 4c?

 

[waffle=ijm]

si, you look ahead and narrow down your options while you do UL/UR
