Roux times

[miniGOINGS]

Wow, you guys are doing pretty good, although I doubt you'll ever catch up with me...

 

[slncuber21]

Are you guys memorizing the CMLL/COLL yet or are you just using OLL and PLL for the LL? With OLL/PLL I can get around a minute, maybe less avg. but I kinda want to learn the CMLL cases before I time myself.

ps- What's the big deal with BB? I think it's relativly easy. Just like Fridrich f2l, right? Or am I totally doing this wrong?! :fp

I can avg sub-20 with 2 Look Corners. Work on blocks

 

[slncuber21]

Am I doing the blocks right though?

you're blocks are totally wrong. a complete first 1x2x3 block takes at most 9 moves (correct me if I'm wrong). where if do fridrich f2l would increase that number. I'm not sure about the move count for the second

in other word f2l for block building is WRONG

EDIT about 10-12 moves STM is what I do for the first block

 

[slncuber21]

Okay, thanks Waffle. :]

F2B times:
1st:13.36,9.11,9.31,21.45,14.91 = 13.628
2nd:15.11,24.86,12.53,28.41,8.33 = 17.848
Step 4 times
a: 8.30,2.89,2.78,1.30,5.06 = 4.066
b: 5.20,1.64,3.22,5.88,1.81 = 3.55
c: 4.78,2.92,3.11,.73,3.58 = 3.024

total: 31 seconds in execution time. Recog time is horrible...

for the most part this is execution though

Wow, you really have to work on your blocks. I can usually do both of my blocks in the time it takes to do just your second one., sometimes even just your first one.

trust me i know.. i hate beginning block building. But i think ive got it down decently now. Ive been working on blocks since i got up this morning until now and will continue to all day. Look at my f2b solutions thread i think i did good with my First block. Second one still sucks.

Heres a Roux solve and i do a 2 look step 3

 

[waffle=ijm]

I question your S turns...I never do S moves. re-grips slow me down...which is probably why your blocks aren't good

 

[miniGOINGS]

I'm now doing a lot of cube rotations in the first block (so no more S's or E's!) and have no cube rotations during the rest of the solve!

 

[StachuK1992]

Well, I just created a StachuWithRoux account on cubemania just for practicing Roux, since I 'officially' switched yesterday.
I'll do some averages over the next few hours, but I think I'm around 35s.

YAY! ROUXFTW!

 

[miniGOINGS]

YES!! I'm officially sub-30, sub-32 on every solve, and am starting to work toward sub-25, in my sig I had 3 lucky cases, so my average dropped a lot.

 

[StachuK1992]

mhmm...I expect sub30 for me at the end of tomm, after a cubing marathon.
Then sub25 like a month later. then idk.

 

[miniGOINGS]

5 seconds in one day, then 5 more in a month? Those are pretty high expectations.

yeah, but I get 23s with CFOP, and have done fairly little with Roux
Doing little with Roux thusfar, it will be easier for me to advance.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Phew, at least you're not up north.

...elaborate?

 

[miniGOINGS]

...elaborate?

I'm setting out to be the fastest Roux user in all of Canada, you're in the States so it doesn't effect my goal.

Does anyone know who the fastest Roux user in Canada is, by any chance?
