Waffle's Roux Tutorial

Hi, thanks lot, thanks to you am now sub60 with the Roux Method (i learned it 3 years ago but stopped cubing and forgot about it) and I started learning it 6 days ago. I will maybe ttranslate your tutorial into french, making some vids, so that more people can learn it =)
 
Averaging 35 or so still... but every once in a while a 2x.xx jumps out at me and keeps me motivated!

Slowly learning some CMLL's, (easy ones) and trying to get better at tracking and orienting pieces more fluidly. Look ahead is still shoddy... not used to where some of the pieces I'm looking for can be hiding.

Can't wait till I'm faster in Roux than I am in Petrus.

Actually taking some time this week to learn CMLL's. Got the H cases down. (wow. the whole 4) Have been trying to figure out what my current OLL's do transferring over from Petrus. So only have about 15 CMLL cases that I know exactly how to do.

Tired of doing OC, then a T or Y Perm, so that's been my motivation.

Got a PB of 18.65 in Roux few days ago. No skips. PB with Petrus was 15.36, and had a PLL skip.

The last few average of 100's I've done have been pretty consistent at 32.xx Got a buddy of mine who's learning Roux, so we race all the time and it's been great to practice. We just did average of 50, he was at 30, me 32. So pretty close.

Thanks Waffle for all your great info!

Yay, I recently returned to roux and I'm almost sub-20 for some reason... When I left, I had trouble getting sub-25. I'm looking to eventually posting some average videos on youtube, that is when I find a good camera angle.
Blocks make up a large portion of my solve... I don't know how to lookahead with Roux D:
 
Roux is cool!

I've been using CFOP with cross on left for three years now (avg about 14ish). But now when I practice I get bored, which is why I'm starting to have fun with some Roux solves. I use COLL for the last four corners, because I use that for CFOP already. I'm having trouble seeing the whole first block during inspection, but I can easily see the 2x2x1. I average about 22-23 seconds right now.
Will I benefit from learning CMLL algs at this point?
I suspect that doing fridrich like pairing for the second block is not the fastest/most optimal way to go. Any tips on how to not look at the second block like a fridrich f2l?
 
Okay, I just watched some of your tuts and... their nice.

I average now about sub-20 (I still don't know because I haven't timed myself again after my last ao12 last week).

Uhm, almost no known CMLL's, but 9 move first block. Second block troubles me much because of the movecount.
 
I'm practising daily, but I'm really too lazy to learn anymore algs, so I think eventually, I'll think about CMLL. Until then, I guess I can try to see how far I can get with two look corners.

If I could lookahead properly, I think I could easily be sub-20... but I guess a lot of us have that problem, so I'm nothing special.
