[Help Thread] Trying to learn Roux method

[Px_Ushi]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to learn Roux method but I get in trouble at the last step, after putting the UL and UR edges. I, more or less, always end up and in this situation and I'm not able to figure out how to do it.. (Don't pay attention to the poor cube I'm using I'm waiting for my next one to come)
Thanks for reading

You've missed something in the EO step. After CMLL, before you can orient your edges, you need to correct your centres. This means that you should adjust the middle slice so that either the top or bottom centre is on the top face, otherwise your edges won't actually be oriented. For example, looking at your pictures you can see that the orange-yellow edge is correctly placed between the orange and yellow centres, but is flipped in place. Although it looks oriented relative to the side faces, it's not really oriented if you correct your centres.

Thank you very much, I hadn't seen this, now everything is working good :33
