Just noticed that. It is really nice. Well done making it. I am attempting to make a Roux avatar for myself.
And a little more on topic. I have recently, like in the past 48 hours, seen my times drop... alot. Day before yesterday I was averaging around 40 for a session of around 50. Today my average of 60 was 34.90 I think.

NICE avatar and I made the banner out of boredom using paint for like the first time in 5 years 
On topic - I am dedicated into creating my CMLL video set. Once I finish learning anti-sune cases, I'll begin the editing and uploading.

I'm looking forward to see which CMLLs you use. I still got the Pi and T cases to learn.
I made a banner as well.

Yep, Roux is a rebel.
And since I haven't really seen my times going down at all in the past week, I am going to look at a new approach to Roux after the 1x2x3 blocks.
So, first you make the 1x2x3 blocks just like normal, but then, instead of doing the corners, Eo, etc... I am going to try out how well doing the following works:
1.) After making the blocks, insert the BD edges into it's correct position with correct edge positioning.
2.) Insert the FD edge, while orienting the U edges.
3.) Solve the LL using Corner OLL and full PLL. Would be better to use ZBLL, but I don't know those algs yet.
I know, the use of Fridrich algs is not pretty, but I think that the F2L strategy and orienting the edges makes up for it a little, maybe. I am gonna generate the algs for EO tonight/tomorrow.
Just wondering what you people think about this.

bad idea. It just doesn't feel right.

Hmm, when I tried it at first it felt pretty good. I will have to wait 'til tomorrow to see if it works during times solves.
And when doing this I sometimes do random F2L. Like, I will do the first bottom edge, then insert 2 opposite c/e pairs, then another edge, etc...

Great vids. Does anyone think I can get sub 17 in time for nationals using Roux? I really like the method, it's just a matter of whether or not I can learn it in time.

Learning is easy... mastering is hard...depending on how much you will devote yourself to roux will affect your times. it took me a while (a year) to get sub-20 because I didn't give my roux solves enough effort. But if practice roux non-stop like bigGreen you'll get sub-17 easy. BigGreen does sub-12 roux and he's only been using roux for 1 1/2 years.

Sorry for the small bump, but I want to re-ask my question now that I have more information. I finally managed to understand Roux last night, and I now have a PB of 30.71 using Roux with 2-Step Corners. If I were to learn CxLL, do you think I'd be able to qualify for nationals using Roux?
