This feels like learning how to solve the cube again

A veritable gold mine of Roux knowledge here. Plenty to learn and practice - it'll keep me busy and entertained during these winter months. Thanks for the top drawer content, it's much appreciated!!!🤘

“Why you gotta be so roux? Don’t you know I’m human too?”

-Nasri of MAGIC!

[mdoe]

So after your last stream, I started to learn roux. It is really fun! I’m still learning how to speed up the step where I make the top/bottom all yellow/white. But, if I get lucky on something I recognize, I’ll get decent times for only two days in. Have a few in the low 30’s so far.

If you learn all the methods in a competition sense it sounds great because you can take bits and pieces depending on cases or depending on the scramble maybe it'll be faster to solve roux then with cfop

[Steerable]

I do cfop, and I think I will still, but i think it will help me understand the cube more

[robrob]

Watched fully and learned a lot. I don't plan on learning roux soon, but I will one day. I can understand how the method works now, and will be excited when I finally start learning it!

[stickmantony]

Finally a precise roux tutorial. Good job!

[KAIJUKING]

FINALLY!!!! I learned how to do roux sure the cycle end gonna get me stumped and the t perms and the headlights are gonna be tricky to memorize but I finally did it LETS

[foquro]

Very helpful! I've been using roux for quite some time but this video still had a lot of stuff that I dindn't know yet

[dmowchan]

So I've started to learn the Roux method, and I'm finding it's taking me WAY more moves than it should, even when I'm doing it really scrupulously and efficiently. I almost know full CMLL, so I should be able to supposedly solve it in 45-50 moves- I've been getting about 65 to 70 on average. Do you think you can diagnose the problem? Also, are you able to tell me how many moves each step should take if you're doing them correctly?

Watching this because I might find some algs that might be helpful, and there are some helpful ones. I started rouxing because my CFOP is trash, and I've been rouxing for 9 months. I'm able to achieve sub-25 within 9 months, knowing the fact that I restart cubing around 9 months ago as well, with a sub-1:15 for my CFOP at that time.

One thing I do like about Roux is that you can head straight into F2L and the freedom it gives you with moving edges in the middle layer. If you take advantage of this enough and solve the last layer with OLL and PLL, you've got the best of most worlds, and you get easy OLL algorithms almost every single time. It can lower the amount of OLL algorithms you have to memorize, all while keeping your F2L fast and efficient. If you are great with intuitive solutions, then this is a great combo. Personally, if I learned to do Roux first with F2L and OLL, then I would probably be way faster already.

I just learned cfop, and discovered the abp method. The first step is the first block

[d.jensen]

Thank you for starting the video with a Roux solve...to give casual inquirers a quick feel for the method. Icing on the cake was that this initial solve was just the right speed - slow enough to track the moves but fast enough for short attention spanners like me. :)

[trigus]

Going to cfop to roux is the intuitive and using the middle layer. Video focusing on examples of the first two block ?

[Rayhanchintz]

Lol cfop mind keeps popping back. It's really easy to understand but I'm just not able to do it 😅

[theminingmike]

Question: Is it ever a good idea to mish-mash the first and second blocks by doing them out of order? I’ve been getting a lot of cases where my second block pairs are formed as I’m working on the first one and it’s really tempting. Also, do you have any tips on second block in general? It’s definitely the step I struggle with the most in roux.

5:15 finally a good speedcubing tutorial!
