      I think they're both really good, whichever is better probably just depends on which you like better! But it would be wrong of me to use CFOP while claiming Roux is better, so I think you know my answer in that case :)

      MITT SER I recommend to use CFOP first and its based on algorithms while ROUX is intuitive, and you can learn 2 - look OLL and PLL on CFOP and it can get very fast. I think in your situation you'll get to like 40 - 1 minute. Hope it helps :))

I switched from CFOP to Roux last week and I am now averaging under a minute, and I am glad I switched because Roux is more fun to use than CFOP.

  • @PraetorianCuber

    i can solve with roux, but the way i do first block is really bad, i just can't do it right or efficiently, i'm glad you were able to find the best method suited to you! i could probably get better at it if i wanted, i really like M moves and know how to solve the corners in one look, but just recently i've got a sub 10 average of 5, so as of now i'm gonna keep up the momentum. best of luck with the future man!

    Why I Switched From Beginners Method To Petrus: My Good Friend We'll Just Call Him Ru, He Was The Fastest Cuber In The Class. He Used Roux. My Other Friend We'll Call Him John, He Was The Second Fastest. He Used ZZ So I Was Inspired To Use Petrus So That We Could Confirm Who Was The Fastest. I Obviously Got Second. Still Behind Ru And That Is Why I Use Petrus.

    • @Flowey-vc3jl

  • @mattevans1643
    @mattevans1643 6 років тому +2

    I'm not interested in speed solving, i'll stick with my 24 second personal best. Because what difference does it make if i solve it any faster. I also never solve the cube the same way twice. I mean if someone asks me if i can do it, i'll do either the simple beginner method, or corners first. But when i'm solving it on my own, i usually just make random pairs all over the cube, and then put them together. I remember one time when this kid in high school would use CFOP, and i asked him to let me play with his cube. He was telling me i'll never solve it the whole time. The entire time i was solving it, it looked like a jumbled mess. And then out of nowhere it was solved. And he just sat there in amazement. He asked what method i did, and i told him there wasn't a method, i just put the pieces where they go. You learn a lot from trying different methods. And you only need a couple algorithms to solve it. Once you learn what the algoritms change, you learn how to change the algorithms as well. For example let's say, you want to change two edges. Obviously you have the edge orient, and the edge swap algorithm, from the beginner method. Well you can alter the algorithms to change unrelated edges, you just have to remember what the extra moves were so you undo them at the end. That takes your cubing ability to an entirely new level. It won't make your times faster, but it will make your brain stronger. What is the point of learning 1000's and algorithms when you really only need 5 or 6?

    @NondescriptIndividual 7 років тому +2

    I am currently making the transition ;) and think you should make a video on developing good habits for roux. Maybe discuss or walk through efficient blockbuilding (second block gets me every time for some reason).
    I consistently get almost identical move counts with CFOP and Roux, which is a problem. Considering that the biggest advantage of roux is efficiency, I think it would be fantastic if you could provide some basic or advanced tips/techniques you have learned or figured out.
    (i avg around 10 seconds with CFOP and 16 with Roux, so it can be hard to stay motivated but I think it will work out better for me personally)

    The one problem I have with Roux is that it does not feel like a progression from the basic layer by layer method like CFOP does. Ergo, Roux would not use any of my knowledge of making the cross or solving in layers. In fact, my knowledge of basic seems more like a hindrance than help when I try solving with the Roux method.
    Also, who doesn’t feel awesome using Sexy Moves and Sledgehammers?

    So, your deciding factors for making the full switch is:
    Getting FASTER while HAVING FUN with it.
    I'll just share my particular story for favoring Roux.
    After learning the beginner's method, I wanted to know if there was another/faster way to solve the cube. I was in the Fridritch vs. Petrus Era.
    The deciding factor that The Petrus System got me was "It doesn't break what you already solved... unlike the Cross." Block-building wasn't too much of a hurdle for me. In fact, solving the 2x3 block by intuition just fits my style.
    Now, as years have passed and finding out that Modern Speedcubes have kicked Petrus out of the Big 3, the time was ripe for me to choose another method. Since Freedom in Block-building has always been my preferred style choosing Roux was rather easy. Not to mention also my preference on Intuition over Pure Algs.
    Now, Roux (even in the beginner's method) is making me enjoy 2 things that Petrus never did:
    1. Cool-looking M Slices
    2. Almost non-existent Cube Rotation.
    Not only does #2 is making my solves more fun, it's going to prevent me further from learning CFOP at all (Yeah, I know, not learning CFOP has its downsides, but that's just me).

  • @RustyRayWay
    @RustyRayWay 6 років тому

    More than likely, if you use corners first beginners method you will excel roux if you start of using layer by layer then you will excel cfop. Although I started in lbl I plan learning lse and cmll algs and giving roux a shot for a few months.although I might keep it to test the limits of roux (since cfop has already reached its limit and only way to get wr with cfop is to get x cross then last layer skip etc.) also roux is less moves and less algs than cfop.)

    @everydaycubing6333 8 років тому

    So just to be clear. Did you quit CFOP for good or will you be switching in and out of methods or using both simultaneously like you used to? It seems a shame to give up CFOP forever, seeing as you you put so much time into it and after all, it is a great method.

    • @criticalcubing

      No, I still use CFOP and currently I am Method Neutral with both the methods. (mainly solve with CFOP in Reviews so you can see how a cube performs with CFOP and Roux).
      I don't practice CFOP seriously anymore, as Roux took over. I wouldn't want to lose my sub 10 with CFOP status for lack of practice xD

      @@jtgmng1731 Well I'm a Senior in college now, so I was already rather well adjusted. However, I just may not have been quite prepared for Senior year; difficult classes, job search and the like. My main advice would be to certainly pay attention in your Major classes, and try not to become too flimsy in planning because of the newfound freedom. If you can follow that you'll be fine!

      Little magic have terrible stickers, but incredibly good, effortless turning. If you're total beginner you will overshoot at first. Warior W becomes worse with time, but have nice, overall smooth feeling.
      Maybe i helped someone. Keep improving!

    Hey man, I've been practicing roux for the past 3 months, and all thanks to your content. Roux is more fun for me too, but blockbuilding is definitely a hurdle. I would just like to ask you about your LSE method, do you orient, do UL UR, and permute, or do orient, bottom line, and U Z H perm?

    • @criticalcubing
      @criticalcubing  8 років тому +3

      I orient, do UL and UR and then solve 4c. Are you in the Roux Facebook group? I have shared my LSE method there. I'll make an updated video also regarding my method as I have improved it since then. Its perfect now :D

    @Marsular 7 років тому

    Your video made me wonder if I should switch to the Roux method (I am not a big fan of the look ahead and stuff either), but I am also not a big fan of the M moves on the cube, not because of the move itself, but more because when I try to do it sometimes my hands feel clumsy and I don't know how I would perform (I presume that a lot of M moves are required for Roux) what should I do ?

    • @criticalcubing
      @criticalcubing  7 років тому +1

      I thought the same, however M move is easy to get used to and feels natural after some practice. Try out Roux and see if you like it or not :)
