48 STM. Tips and Improvements? :confused:

You should work on the first block, it can be much shorter. I found this for the same block:

y' x2
D2 M R f M r2 F (7)

Why did you finish your CMLL with a U2? It's not necessary to adjust the corners at this point.
Without it, the LSE can be:
M' U' M' U M U' M' U' M' U2 M' M2 (12)

Otherwise it's a good solve!

Please don't call it Roux when it is obviously not. It can confuse beginners. If you want I can give you scrambles in the FMC thread.

Pretty good solve for me. Having a 7 move CMLL helps.

how can I work on efficiency? with roux I average about 25 seconds. Anyway to improve?

fmc solution

These solutions would be welcomed in the 3x3x3 example solves thread (especially if you add a a few comments about how you figured them out). Why focus on mildly annoying some Roux solvers when you could be helping out people interested in fmc example solves?

Dont use RU move during EO - you can solve all cases only with M/M' and U/U'.

First block:
I would start with R' u' R u U R U' M U x'

Second block:
U R U M' r U' R2 U2 is a good start, but for the last pair I recommend r2 U2 M' U' r

LSE:
Use only <M,U> rotations for the EO (except for the six-edge-orientation case, which I recommend R U' r' U' M' U r U r' or its inverse). Learn the EO cases!

Here, I would either use:
M' U' M U2 M' U2 M' U M' // EO
U2 M' U2 M' U' M2 U' // UL+UR
M U2 M U2 // M-perm

or:
U' M U2 M' U2 M' U M' // EO
U2 M' U2 M' U' M2 U' // UL+UR
M' U2 M' U2 M' // M-perm

Both of them are kinda "worst case scenario", none of the three parts should be longer in any solve.

Overall: your F2B are decent. You need to work on your LSE, maninly on the efficiency of the EO.
