Roux/Fridrich Combination Idea

[rubiksfriend]

I know, but the end results are very similar. Waterman sometimes would solve the L face minus a ledge, solve the ledge with a redge, two redges, then the remaining redges and midges. Roux builds blocks, not corners and edges and orients midges before solving L and R, but the two methods are similar.

As someone who has spent waaaay too much time combining methods, hybriding them, and just screwing around with the accepted steps, I can say this is, hands down, a bad idea.

Yes, in practice, you might use it a few times. But it's a bad idea, in general. It takes the strengths of Roux and tosses them out the window, and makes Fridrich harder for no reason. You want to be faster? Learn to multislot or something, or get better with standard Roux.

If you're really nuts and want to get faster, learn Roux, then learn to start finishing U corners and orienting edges early, or learn some L5E algs.

Would it be effective to ignore orientation and solve the M slice using commutators?

nice!!! I should try it!!!

Anyway, I think the idea of Roux F2L and OLL+PLL would be faster.

Bad, bad idea!
