How long did it take you faster Roux users to get to sub 20 or sub 25? I just began using Roux last week and I'm trying to set some reasonable goals...

Hey YddEd, what do you average now? Like about 16-17 right?
anyway, I'm not that fast, but if anybody (nobody) wants to know, it also took me about 2-3 months to get sub-20

Moo is not the name of a specific case, it's a nickname for the <M,U> subset as a whole.

Thanks! I thought it was all the 3 move MU sequences lol. Can you tell I use CFOP?

What average movecounts do you guys get in a speedsolve? I think i'm about 50 and i think it should be lower.

No, I want to know! Thanks for telling me. I actually had a 41.56 ao5 today, so that was nice. Getting closer. Ever so slowly.

good luck on your goal, you're probably the only person i've heard of who started roux so early.

Thank you! I really was intrigued by the way it works. I'm not afraid to be different!
EDIT: Plus I hated the idea of a bunch of cube rotations with CFOP... I got sub 25ish with CFOP at one point but then took a big break. I like Roux much more!

I switched at around sub 25 CFOP too, took me around 2 weeks to match my CFOP times, make sure you really understand the LSE , that is what is usually unnecessarily time consuming at early levels, i would aim for sub 6 on that.

Okay... I realized earlier this week that I wasn't using the reflection mini algs for orienting the edges, so I'm trying to incorporate those into my solves. Thanks so much!

50 is fine. I think I'm about 45-50. My sub12 solves are about 37-45.

I did some (slow-ish) solves and counted as I went, so I'm sure I miscounted some (counted extra, missed some, counted some 2 move finger tricks (M'R' stuff) as 1, etc), but this should be a good estimate. Though I am known to have quite inefficient F2B...
Using STM (M counts as 1 move):
55, 46, 60, 53, 54, 48, 50, 54, 50, 60, 50, 48
Also, I average like 18, so you might want to shoot for lower since you average 13...

Do you guys have any tips for when there are no premade blocks for first block. How do you find the first block?

Match DL edges while tracking a pair (a bit inefficient) or you can insert FL or BL edges then make square.
Also, what's the most efficient way of solving this as last SB pair? I don't really like the algs on the wiki since they're geared towards CFOP, so I was hoping that there's some alternative that involves M stuff
