Waffle's Roux Tutorial

Meh. What happened to exploring other methods, broadening knowledge etc?
Doing it your way would be fairly one-dimensional IMO.
And incidentally, there are far better words to say than your last statement.

And you have far better things to do than complain about your method becoming popular. If it really bothers you, that's fair enough and isn't a problem. But you don't need to keep posting about it. Just switch. Or don't.

One, I'm not complaining. I was stating my opinion. And two, yeh I will shut up if I am this much of a pain. (Edit: only I can say this about myself ok?)

 

[MalusDB]

So I hearded that there was some Roux in this thread, but all I see is butthurt.

Check the first 115 1/2 pages for some Roux. :rolleyes:

I'm thinking that maybe this would work well for non-matching R and R' blocks:

It's more about memorization than the popular LSE method, but that may be necessary. Gilles has mentioned this before as being a great alternative (for matching blocks). It seems to be a real competitor for movecount. Tracing UL and UR during CMLL, and even the second block, shouldn't be too hard.

12.24 Roux avg100.
Randomly Roux. Now back to Waterman and Petrus.

Also, athefre, your 2.5 look LSE looks like a good idea... I will take a good look at it when I'm done messing with other methods.

 

[Athefre]

It's not mine. All I'm saying is that it should work well with any kind of block combination.

 

[Miikalsen]

Really want to learn this thought, but cant get the 6 last edges thingy..

 

[waffle=ijm]

Which part of LSE?

 

[Kirjava]

Athefre should make braindead LSE method for beginners. Movecount not being an issue.

There's no easymode for roux so something supersimple for LSE would give a nice transition to it.

I have a "Braindead" soution for LSE that I used when I started cubing...
Just ask and I'll share.

why not just say? >_>

inb4 solve DF+DB

I didn't just say because I'm at school and work had to be done.

anyway,

After you finish the corners then you find the white edge peice and put it in the DB or DF slot, then find the yellow edge peice and put it in the UF or UB position. The white or yellow on the edge peices must face out, not up or down. Thats how you know which spot it needs to go in. Once you get the edges in their spot, then you do M' U2 M.

After that you realign the centres, and look for a edge piece that is flipped. Hold the flipped edge piece in the UF slot and perform the moves, M' U' M' U' M' U2 M U' M U' M U2. Repeat for all "Flipped edges".

Then just proceed with H's (Not the case or perm, the two dots that make an H), or M moves and U2.

I hope you get it, I'm really bad at explaining stuff though. I could make a video if you want? But that shouldn't be necessary.

 

[Kirjava]

that... doesn't even work

 

[Cheese11]

that... doesn't even work

Oh snap, I kind of wrote this in a rush, sorry.

After the M' U2 M', you have to turn the U face so either the yellow corners or white corners are opposite (As in white opposite yellow) the edge in the DF slot. Then do an M2.

 

[Kirjava]

still doesn't work

 

[jms_gears1]

So, when teaching new flux members, why aren't people taught EO as UL/UR edges need to have U stickers on U/D and the rest need to just match the centers?

 

[5BLD]

Because NM centres confuse people.
For beginners it's much easier to EO with centres same/opposite... Although good point.
I don't see why not.

Really want to learn this thought, but cant get the 6 last edges thingy..

I think the most straight forward way to solve this is also the easiest for beginners:

1. solve UR and UL edge ( M'U2M and some more easy cases)
2. Orient M ring ( y UMU' R2 UM'U' R2 y' and the invers are my favorites, but thats a matter of taste)
3. Finish like normal roux

a nice side effect of this is, that in each of these steps you still train something that's usefull in an regular Roux solve, too.
