Did you ever hear the tragedy of Alexander Lau The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the CFOPers would tell you. It’s a Roux legend. Alexander Lau was a skilled master of the roux, so fast and so talented he could use his skills to influence the cubers to take up roux… He had such a knowledge of the roux skills that he could even keep the times he cared about from slowing. The roux skill of the cube is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his skills, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice outmatched him in the comp. Ironic. He could save others from bad averages, but not himself.
Wow. The stuff you said about SB is totally useful for ZZ. I've done blockbuilding like that before, but thinking of it as a different F2L pair, just with the white edge, makes recognition so much faster and leaving a misoriented block makes so much more sense
HEY THERE... that 2nd block tip was actually really helpful. I had never even thought about it before. And BTW I recently hit the 10 second barrier with roux ... with a 10.77 second solve. ... not sub 10 yet tho.
I'm glad that it helped. Congrats! Keep going, sub 10 is close

:) hey there. Congratulations, but I think that the "trick" is not the main point. I always used this "trick" whenever convenient from the beginning of my "modern cubing carrier" (I started 30 years ago and then 1 year ago started again) and still not sub 40. :)
Did Alex mean strictly Pinkie Pie is the future of Roux and standard Roux solutions are worse? Or is it analogous to ZBLL in CFOP where you try implement it s much as you can?
Do a ton of solves using only roux and try your best not to do any CFOP for as long as you can. Other than that, just make sure you're experimenting with "roux" style blockbuilding and get comfortable with the EO substep in LSE
Kian Mansour also another question how long do you think it takes to improve for roux like ive been stuck at 20 to 22 seconds for over a month or two now so when do you think most people get stuck now
Improvement is usually pretty quick, but it really depends on the person. More specifically, I think it has to do with how many solves you do per day and how quickly you can learn new tricks and algorithms.

ColorfulPockets Glad I could help! I actually originally saw it on Tao Yu's channel, you should check it out.
"Pinkie Pie is the future of Roux." Hahaha!
Lmao Alexander lau was my maths teacher last year
Coolest stuff I have ever seen

cool video
Nice video. 3:09 I do that trick. Learnt it from Tao Yu's video. Does alex has different cmll's?
Thanks! Yeah he does pinky pie so he does OLLCP
I think your intro music is too loud in comparison to your main video audio.
RomanVman Thanks for the feedback! I already fixed this, so the newer videos on my channel will be better
I am sub 35 using roux
Altho when I use block building only
Cool! :D
I thought the voice in your intro says gilles roux
You learned from them, now they learn from you.
How you do it? My best is 37 seconds. And my look ahead is very poor
Please help me
Same here :/
Do you think m moves will be good on the new ''YueXiao Pro''
Probably
does alexander lau still use a guhong v2 ?
He used a GTS2M at the competition.
Off topic, but I hope you wouldn't bother answering. Why did you think of learning Roux instead of CFOP even if CFOP had a bigger audience?
I don't like being mainstream.
@@Kian_Mansour you said it in your seminar recently
Did Alex mean strictly Pinkie Pie is the future of Roux and standard Roux solutions are worse? Or is it analogous to ZBLL in CFOP where you try implement it s much as you can?
Probably the first one. He promised low 40 movecounts (whereas my solutions now are mid to high 40).
Fascinating.
I just started learning roux and it is really fun and i average 40 to 45 seconds and i average 20 to 22 seconds with cfop does any1 have any tips

wow
Just wondering, did you originally learn CFOP, or go to roux straight from beginners method?
SK Cuber vhe went for roux, i think
Straight to roux after 1 week of beginners method
Kian Mansour How long have you been cubing and what were you averaging before you switched?
Andrez Lopez switch from begginers method? He never used CFOP
Damian :v I know I meant switching from beginners to Roux
So he does use pinky pie huh
Yeah apparently he's been doing it for a while
But he should give pinkie pie examples, Placing edges on bottom is hard
That would be helpful

no F moves & saves a move
Wow finally a non francophonist who can pronounce Gilles Roux !
Haha I can speak a little French.
Yup I remember haha

Do you use pink instead of red, or does it just look like that in the video?
CubeStack it is fluoro red
It's just stock GAN stickers.
critique?
TOMORROW
ok
What is your color shame
The stickers one the cubes are the stock ones that come on all GAN cubes
