The Roux method Thread.

[jms_gears1]

My idea is similar to the One answer question thread. Ive spent the last couple of days searching through all the threads searching for info about roux because im learning this method. While searching I became irritated that i had to sift through useless materials to find a small piece of info that i needed.

My idea with this is to make a one stop thread for info on The Roux method.
Post your questions, tips etc. about Roux here.

Thanks

Question #1:
Why not just use waffle's thread, like we always do?

i didnt see that i click on that every now and then but i dont really read it all the way... oops

How do you find the two pairs and the edge on inspection and not lose them? I lose one of the pairs when I get the first pair matched up.

practice NOT losing them during inspection.

Know where they go with every move you do without having to look at them. This is just practice.

What move count should be reasonable for building the first block. And for the second block?

What ive been trying to do is i look at the cube an see how to make the 1x2x2 block then i close my eyes and do it. When i get really good with this imma try and keep track of the other pair because your already used to not looking at 1x2x2 pieces.

@jms_gears1
What times do you average? And how long have you been solving with roux?

 

[jms_gears1]

i average about 45 seconds, ive been using roux for about a week

 

[piemaster]

Almost same as me

I don't want to change the topic, but does anybody else think that Marc Waterman and Gilles Roux look fairly similar in their build and their cubing styles? I know Gilles Roux uses more "modern" fingertricks, but aside from that.

@pie
Whats yours? and my new pb is 29 seconds xDDD

Yeah, block building to slices are something they have in common. On Roux's page he even says that he likes Waterman's approach and applied some on to his own method.

I don't know my average... I'll go and time myself. brb!
