    Kian, after almost 5 months, I'm almost sub 15 using Roux! I'm sub 20, but sometimes I can do between 13 and 15 sec. Currently, my PB is 11.73 seconds! :)

    First if you know ZZ and CFOP then you can do this the first step is from ZZ first you make a white line and make sure the colors that stick with the white edge match then the next one is from Cfop is be efficient at f2l and solving the f2l pair you must solve the f2l pairs and put back in the slot and make sure you do it less than 20 seconds
