Waffle's Roux Tutorial

[Athefre]

Do you guys not like my suggestion or does it not make sense? Because, it's fast for me. You're always going to end 4b with UL/UR at UF and UB, so it's as simple as looking at the "lone" edge on U before you adjust. Do you guys automatically adjust U after finishing UL and UR without thinking first?

It does for me actually, I have no idea why I haven't thought about it earlier.

What I was trying to do was to track what is gonna be on the bottom which was easy when I had M2 insertion of UL/UR, but when the insertion was M or M' I had no idea.

But now, doing what you said, looking at the edge that is going to the back I can distinguish all the cases and even save an U move.

try solving with fewest moves no matter how long it takes you. you can be concerned about speed later.

I actually find it fun trying to do the blocks in as few moves. It just feels so...natural. Also, nice one Waffle.

Doesn't everyone do this already? I thought the cancellations were obvious.

I was expecting something like forcing a last layer skip while doing UL/UR, or avoiding the dots pattern. Maybe you should document those cases, too.

Edit; Stuff like M U2 M U M' U2 M' U' is worth knowing, too.
