Waffle's Roux Tutorial

[miniGOINGS]

idk how to improve LSE tho....

Make a cube with 2 fused 1x2x3 blocks.

wha...why?

Then you can only do M and U.

... i do only MU solves but i cant seem to get faster...,

Aim for 8 TPS.

how can you increase tps?

Be rowe.

 

[Cool Frog]

im going to learn because it feels good on my fingers to do M and U moves...

 

[jms_gears1]

does anyone have a good way to do the E2, *wafflemakeavidofyoursplease*

this is just for reference for 2.5 look LSE
M'UM'U'MUM / M'U'M'UMU'M
M’UM’UMUMUM’UM’
M’UM’UMUM’U2M’UM

...I think I might just convert to Roux-ism.

CFOP is always to same old "make cross, fill in F2L slots, OLL (that I need to get around to completing. I might not even finish if I get good at Roux), and PLL. Block-building actually seems quite fun, even if I fail at it. (I still use F2L to make the first 1x2x3 block )

I just did 5 solves. 1:23.18, 1:06.12, 1:00.44, 1:13.59, 1:07.82. My first block is still F2L. For some reason I can't look ahead for the second block part. I just randomly do M' U2 M' and M' U M' until I get the final case since I haven't memorized the cases for EO. Then I take 20 seconds to permute UL/UR :rolleyes: and finally, I finish up. I expect to be able to sub-1 easily by tomorrow.

Thanks once again

lol, well i used to do nothing but M'UM' for EO, its easy to do, i eventually learned the two cases where you do M'/M U2 M'/M and the one case where you do M2.

as far as 4b that shouldnt take you too long.

What you should do is track one of the pieces as your doing EO, and when you can control it put it in the D layer. Then you can put the other in the D layer my either doing M'U2M' or MU2M. AUF then M2.

I dont know if i made any sense but at least i tried to help : D?

 

[miniGOINGS]

Yea, try to get at least 1 L&R edge on D while doing EO (2 is better though). That way you have short insertions.

UGH! I want to be a Roux-er, but I don't know if I have the nerve to be in the 50's again.

I think I'll try to convert AFTER DC Open, and then try be Roux for CMU Spring.

Or not... lol.

Any help or suggestions?

A reason I think I would like Roux is because I don't like to solve big cubes.

SO, being a Rouxer will further discourage me to not solve them!

And, I'd like to start fresh. It would be fun to be a noob again. lol.

 

[waffle=ijm]

I was well around sub-25 with CFOP when I switched. I only really went up to 35 and back down to my usual times within a week.

lol bigcubes, use stadler its fun xP

but in short yes, switch to roux, as for help or suggestions : http://rouxcentral.forummotion.com/forum.htm [/shameless promotion xP]

 

[CitricAcid]

I think I'll start learning now, and TOTALLY convert after DC. I don't want to suck AGAIN after improving so much since CMU Fall.

So, yeah.

Thanks for making a great tutorial Waffle!

[miniGOINGS]

Yea, Roux is fun, try it out for a bit.

 

[happyface352]

Waffle, I've learned Roux solely from your tutorial.
I am/was? a sub 25 CFOPer (which I definitely did a crash course for, because I learned most of it besides 8 or 9 OLLs starting from last September ) but Roux is just too awesome.

I'mma going to try out Roux for the next couple days ^^

RU'r'U'M'UrUr'

LSE hax.

 

[miniGOINGS]

RU'r'U'M'UrUr'

LSE hax.

It looks like it's (A)(B)(-A)(-B) to me. So it's like setup moves, M', undo setup moves and undo M'. Makes sense I guess.

Of course, I know nothing about cube theory and the like, so yea...

 

[mouse_addict]

ive been practicing the first 2 1x2x3 blocks and it takes me about 30 seconds. I feel like im doing somthing wrong...
