Roux
Roux is one of the most used methods to solve the cube, and it is also the method that
Use fewer moves ever to solve it (average move count is 48 moves).
The method is divided into four steps: FB, SB, CMLL, LSE or L6E
Roux is also considered as one of the best for 3x3 oh.
FB
SB
CMLL
L6E
The first step to solve the cube with Roux is to create a first block.
This passage is mainly intuitive, since it is enough to insert a first piece
of the Cross and then go and create the first two F2Ls, of facts to solve the first
two blocks you should learn the F2L of the CFOP method so that you can speed up the process.
Roux also gives the advantage of having the central layer to be able to create pieces of F2L more easily.

CMLL
L6E
Roux's second step is practically the same as the first block.
Unlike the first step this time we should just do a little more than
attention being that the left side is completely solved and we don't want
destroy it.
Also this step can always be solved using F2L.

L6E
The third step to solve the cube with Roux and to go to solve the OLL e
the corner pll.
This step can be done in two ways:
1) The first method is the simple one for those who know how to solve the cube with cfop, it will be enough for facts
solve the OLL corners with one of the 7 base cases of OLL, and then after doing or a T Perm or
a Y Perm, to understand which of the two PLLs to do just go to recognize the corners if they are
Those of a T Perm or a Y Perm.
2) The second method is to learn the CMLL algorithms which are in total 42, divided into 8 categories:
O, H, Pi, U, T, S, As and L.

L6E
The last step of Roux method is L6E or LSE or Last 6 Edges.
This step has no algorithms, it is typically solved in an
intuitive way by solving the last 6 corners left with only the moves M, M', U, and U'.
