Kirjava, I have better algs someone. I'll post them soon.

The difficulty, i would think, is not the actual blocks its the NMCMLL recog.

Solving the last four corners with non matching 1x2x3 side blocks is possible, it's just more work, more cases to detect.
Ask James Straughan for details.

I know its possible, just harder to recog. Ive looked at the NMCLL page on Gille's site.

Hey Roux users. Just letting you know I'm joining your ranks. I've only been cubing two months, got my fridrich down to right around 40, but I've been getting a bit bored with it. The only creative part is the cross, then it's just algs. Even intuitive F2L basically turns into algs after enough practice.

I've always been scared away from Roux by the M moves, but I've finally sanded my cube, really broken it in and gotten good silicon lube, so M moves are much easier. So, I learned Roux and LOVE it. Easily the most fun method I've looked into.

My times are still really bad just because it's such a different method, but I do think I'm getting faster. I think my worst part is definitely block building. I'm struggling to see anything other than F2L pairs, and I know there's a lot more to it than that. Anyone got tips or vids about this? Or should I just experiment and learn on my own?

Lies!!!

Yea, Roux is a lot of fun. I suggest looking at Waffle's videos on YouTube (cubes4lyfe), he has a lot of good vids for Roux.

Keep practicing, and Roux will become even more fun.

Ive been practicing F2B quite a bit, trying to improve my blocks.

I ran into a 'case' that i dont know how to handle effectivley any help is appreciated.

D2 B2 F2 D' F' L2 R U2 B F' L R F2 R' F' U2 F U' L B2 D' U L' D2 U2
Solution:
Inspection: x2
FB: UR2DrB'R2F
SB: U2r'URrUr'

So far thats what ive got. I have no idea how to effeciently handle the last C/E pair for the SB block.

Heres a couple ways i would have handled it:
R'U'rU2Mr'U'r
U2r'UrM'UM2U2r'U'r
BUB2RBrUR'U2r
r'URU2R'UrUr'U'r

 

[Kirjava]

Yeah, that's nasty. I usually do UR'U'M2UM'U'r or U'R'UMU'rU2r'U'r

I'll do some second block examples later today, waffle requested some.

Ahhhh I like the first one.
Thanks.
Cant wait for SB examples

I think in the past couple of weeks ive really improved my blocks.

Im not going to time myself until next month, instead im going to work on my blocks, and look ahead.

42 CMLL cases...that's it

or 9 for two look CMLL (recommended for beginners). I've sub-17 avg using only 2 look

kirjava has sub-15 avg using only 2 algs with roux.

it's not the algs that hard. it's block building.

 

[Boxcarcrzy12]

ughhh not what i wanted to hear but thanks

42 isn't a lot to be honest. and if you know 4 look last layer from basic CFOP. then you already know the algs for 2 look corners.

I'll do some second block examples later today, waffle requested some.

you should just do some example solves, instead of exclusive SB.

also you should do it on video xP. Because Kirs videos = WIN
