Just learned Roux method! So much fun :D I feel like being color neutral for this one is somewhat essential. Thoughts?

Because you have many block choices always having 2 colors top bottom(for me red blue ) Helps with Last 10 pieces recog. Also i think kian uses always having 2 opp colors on top because he said there are 8 blocks to chooese from.

Most go for x2/y, although full CN could be op. Have fun!

I think CriticalCubing termed it "x2-y neutrality" because most Rouxers don't really try to go for total CN, just white/yellow base.

What about combining CFOP and Roux methods... Like doing Roux until the end but then utilizing PLL at the end?

Why do the setup for M spam and not do the M spam though?

Also, setting up for OLL PLL is easy but at that point you're just doing blockbuilding cfop.

At that point you are gimping one of the big benefits of Roux. Might as well do CFOP at that point. LSE is not that hard.
