[cubing222]

I am a total Roux beginner, should i use fixed centres?

BTW i avg 15 sec with CFOP

@cubing222 yes if you think that your f2l roots are taking over your solves. yes if you feel that you cannot track fast enough.

Do you place DR first? It looks like it... And I remember you saying that wasn't recommended. I'm asking because I do it too but I don't know if it's really a big disadvantage...

[cubes4lyfe]

@5BLD if I really don't know what to do then yes. if I can see the block more then I don't

[xabu9001]

why do you bother solving the whole cube after the blocks if you are only timing blocks?

the scramble for the blocks is the same

[cubes4lyfe]

@xabu9001 Because I don't use fixed colors?

I want to get back into this.. But I just don't have time anymore. ;( I got stuck at around 30 average and the more and more hours I put in, I got diminishing returns. So i gave up.

[5BLD]

I don't use fixed colours either but I scramble to 'add to the previous scramble'. But I think your way is better for ease of reconstruction.

How many waffles can you fit into a cube?

7

Ooh very nice. Beat me by like .2. I'll give it another go later as I know I can do much better...
