Waffle's Roux Tutorial

[soccerking813]

My move count:

First block: 7 HTM Lol, so easy, it is not funny.
Second Block: 17 HTM More of a usual one.
AUF: 1
Corners: 21 T-perm is pretty long.
EO: 8
The Rest: 21
Total: 75

Wow, that is way more moves than I thought it would be.

Another try:

First 1x2x3: 7
Second 1x2x3: 12
Corners: 20
EO: 7
Rest of Edges: 20
TOTAL: 66

This is a new PB for me with Roux (for fewest moves)

And if I could do the same amount of moves while speedsolving, and went at 3.5 turns per second, I would be sub-20.

 

[waffle=ijm]

first block 9
second 12
corners 10
the rest 20
total 41

Can someone explain to me how they do the final 6 edges after EO? I didn't really understand the video, and Roux's webiste doesn't make sense?

And Waffle, do you use CLL for the corners?

 

[soccerking813]

I will post one more. Some people would think of this stuff as spam and/or something that should be kept in PMs.

First Block: 9
Second Block: 14 Not bad for the blocks.
Corners: 21 Sune + Y-Perm
EO: 11
The Rest: 15
Total: 70.

Meh, not bad. The corners kill me in move count. In time it is not too bad though.



Edit:

To permute all the edge after orienting them, I solve the bottom two edge, by first putting them both in the bottom with the center, then switching them if necessary. That leaves a U, H, or Z perm, all of which are pretty fast.

Thanks soccerking813.

I'm going to try a solve using that right now.

EDIT:
30.71
I'm new to this kind of edges, I'm not used to it. With practice hopefully I'll get sub-30.

 

[waffle=ijm]

yup CMLL/COLL mix
only 7 algs left to learn.

WHOA!

22.61 using soccerking's final edges method. That's my new Roux PB. I'm hoping to get a sub-20 single and a sub-25 average by the end of next month (31 days from now)

Thanks soccerking!

EDIT:
Continuing the average,

22.61, 24.58, 23.58

:confused: its just not roux...it feels too much like a fridrich solve. you get fast enough with roux by itself NOT RESORTING TO FRIDRICH permutations

 

[byu]

OK then, can you explain your version? Maybe I'll get faster then.

 

[StachuK1992]

I feel the same way.
I'm currently getting algs for all edge-orientation/-permutation cases, just because.
Once I've done this, I plan to add them to the wiki.

Note: Don't give me algs; that will make it so I get bored faster...

 

[byu]

You use Roux? I thought you used ZZ.

 

[StachuK1992]

Ugh...
I use, when trying to go fast:
Fridrich 60% of the time
ZZ 30% of the time
Petrus 10% of the time

I practice, while not trying to go fast:
ZZ-40%
Frid-30%
Roux:30%

I use, for OH:
ZZ-60%
Frid-10%
Pet-30%

 

[soccerking813]

Lol, I was about to post my EO algs, but I guess I'll just wait.

@waffle

In your video you said that you solve the UR and UL edges after you do the orientation, right? I am too lazy to check back.

 

[StachuK1992]

Oh...if you have them already, then go ahead.
I'll edit/add to them later.

 

[byu]

A very off-topic question, how do all of you Roux users do M? I can do M' very fast without regripping, but for M I have to do r' R and that takes much longer.

 

[soccerking813]

If you insist.

Edges disoriented

2:
UF/UB M' U M U' M' U M'
DF/DB M U M U' M' U M'
UF/DB M' U M' U' D2 M' U M' D2
UF/UR N/A

4:
Top Layer: M' U2 M' U2 M' U M'
UR/UL/DF/DB M U2 M' U2 M' U M'
UL/UF/UR.DF M' U M'

6:
All of 'em: M' U M' D2 M' U M' U' D2 M' U M'

For the UF/UR I just use the OLL alg.



Edit:

I also use r' R, but I try to stay away from it as much as possible.

 

[StachuK1992]

For an M move, I use my right pointer finger, at the BU sticker, and move it to UF sticker

btw, there's gotta be a shorter alg for the 6non-oriented case

 

[byu]

Since soccerking posted, I'll do the same for the same algs.

2:
UF/UB R U R' U' M' U R U' r'
DF/DB M2 R U R' U' M' U R U' r'
UF/DB U M U M U2 M' U M' U M' U2 M
UF/UR M U M' U2 M U M'

Top Layer M U M U M U M U M' U' M' U' M' U' M' U'
UR/UL/DF/DB M U2 M' U2 M' U M' (soccerking's just switched)
UL/UF/UR/DF M' U M

6.
I do a top layer and then the bottom two

Yeah, my algs are terrible.

wow,, im officially sub 60 with pure roux.. in my inspection i plan the BOW-BW-BRW pieces,, then add the other 2 edges with my center,, then i make another 1x1x3 on the other side and use the M slice to put in the other 2 edges,,
