Waffle's Roux Tutorial

[miniGOINGS]

umm not really
I do what i show in the tutorial video. 1x1x2 to a 1x2x2 then goes into a 1x2x3

play with m-slice and you'll get faster.

its just,, after the first block i like the fact that you know what pieces are right there and you only hold the cube one way,, to me it makes it easier to build the second block than the first i think im going to try putting together 2 corners with the center and adding the 3 edges

by the way,, i officially solve from now on with the yellow on top thanks to you lol and red in front cause most oranges are a dull colour

 

[Rawn]

My breakdown is:

1st block:3-5 secs
2nd block:5-6 secs
Corners: 3 secs
Rest: 3-5 secs

I solve with white or yellow on left and orange on top.

You have to plan at least your first 2x2x1 block is your inspection. It makes it easier to track the pieces.

After I Orient the last 6 edges, I use a slightly different method to solve them. I first put the two white edges in the bottom, (I solve with white on bottom) and then, if needed, I switch them, using M2 U2 M2. But I can avoid having to do that most of the time. Then I permute the last layer edges, usign either an a, z, or h perm, all of which I can do in 3-4 seconds, which is pretty good for me.

I watched the video, and the ony thing I took out was the pairs and the M slice, and I am really improving at doing it alone.

YAY! lol I'm neutral when it comes to the colors in front. That's the only thing that stuck with me when I switched from fridrich to roux.

Quick question, is color neutral and advantage? I thought I heard something, but could not find it in your video.

well I am partially neutral and it does help when you can see and execute an easy case almost instantly without hesitation.

i find that using a difinitive colour scheme helps inspection,, like,, i find it a lot easier to locate the BOW-BW-BRW pieces than being colour neutral though

sometimes certain pieces are shorter to get to
so that's why i'm neutral

Roux is a pretty good method...but still... has anyone managed to get sub 10 with that method?

BigGreen got a sub 10 single, but not average. He's possibly the fastest Roux user.

I always solve with yellow on top, but I don't try to always solve the same first block. But sometimes I get stuck between two different colors, because I see an easy 1x2x2 block for both of them, and then that messes my whole solve up.

Wait... Some people always solve with one color in front? I have never even tried that.

8.96 with skip
9.45 no skip

Anybody knows the difference between Fridrich and Roux in the avarage number of turns for a solve?!

 

[waffle=ijm]

about 50 moves for roux since M-slice counts at 2 turns
60 for fridrich
during normal speedsolving

I just got an 85 move count for Roux, I really need to improve.
I think it's my 1x2x3's that take a long time, does anyone have any tips for easy blockbuilding?

I use about 10 moves STM for each block. So I guess reduce move count and slow down so you can look ahead more

Going very slow and trying to reduce move count, I got a 78, with about 25 being in both 1x2x3 blocks. I do 2-look for the corners, so I do more moves there, and I use a really weird edge method, so adding moves there.

So 25 for 2 1x2x3 blocks? What about the rest of you? (STM by the way)

 

[soccerking813]

I have never counted moves. Do you just count them as you go along or something?

 

[byu]

Yeah I just count as I go along. I average around 80 now, going slow. Going fast, over 100.
