thanks a bunch i actually know cfop xD(sub 40)
i wanted to switch and was guided here
Thanks
Thanks man 😊

J PERM= CFOP
Phil Yu= ZZ
Kian Mansour= Roux
Andrew Nathenson=ZZ-CT

J Perm uses roux
ME: CFOP

I had no idea Phil Yu uses zz
DK Cuber u right
Since this video is aimed for beginners who can't even solve the cube, the title should be something like "HOW TO SOLVE A RUBIK'S CUBE: THE EASIEST METHOD FOR BEGINNERS ". You'll get much more views and much more people will start with a Roux method from the very beginning.
A beginner shouldn't be learning roux or cfop
@@mdv9831 it’s easier than starting from beginner than turning into cfop but if they start out with it they don’t have to transition
@@annihilate2479 that's controversial (to say the least). Beginner's is primitive, and transition to CFOP is really smooth since beginner's method is basically a simplified CFOP.
@@mdv9831This is a very basic variant of Roux, it's pretty much to Roux what LBL is to CFOP
"We can't do any B U M or R moves."
Me: Well that's a bummer.
Ok...
@@cloroxbleach3936 ...Bummer
r/eyebleach
Don't think they are seeing the joke lol B U M R = bummer.
what a boomer
I like how Kian acts like he did not find the corner though he actually did😁
Lol
This is literally the best tutorial for roux. Ive been trying to learn it for about a week and none of them explain how to solve the block, they all expect you to know basic f2L. Thank you for making THE BEST roux tutorial
I can't understand anything after the first 5 minutes of the vid and when i go to cfop i cant do f2l
I already learned cfop it's easy for me just roux is harder
@s2 Mr raiz Watch JPerms video. He makes it a bit easy and fun ! It took me about a week to get comfy with beginner F2L but if you stop then you can’t get better yk? You got this
@@lopezcr2268 no… not j perm’s tutorial, it’s not that good for roux lol, it teaches it as f2l without cross and it ends up being very inefficient
I know full cfop but thats literally the only roux tutorial that I understand

@@tigerrandumb7495 your welcome!
pin this, please!
Why there's nothing wrong with the title, I feel like it should be renamed something closer to something like "How to Solve the Rubik's Cube with the Roux Method" in order to attract more beginngers. Most beginners (non-cubers) won't even know what Roux is so they'll have a hard time finding this video. Other then that, fantastic tutorial!
I agree with renaming the video "How to Solve the Rubik's Cube with the Roux Method".
Good Catch!
While that's somewhat true. I'm a beginner who watched one cube video. Then I get ten more cube videos in my recommended feed and this is one of them. So beginners who don't know what to search for will still find this video.
Coming back here a few months later, I’m glad I saw CaryKH’s vid and this video. I’ve gone from An average of 3-4 minutes to now averaging 14-16. And I’ve only been cubing since September 2019 but didn’t really practice much until very late December.
Roux is definitely a method that you can quickly improve on and had sudden time improvements with. From what I’ve seen and experienced with Roux, your PB can be a good 5 seconds faster than what you average (like how my PB is a 9 and I average 14-16).
It’s very hard to learn Roux (especially lse), but the price I think is very worth it. Using a method like CFOP and Petrus are very easy to learn from lbl, but in return, takes way longer to improve with.
In the coming years, I think Roux has great potential, and that many more things will be discovered about it.
Overall? I think that this method is very worth learning, even if you’re sub 10 with CFOP or ZZ.
Oh and I guess it’s also useful to learn ZZ lol
I learned beginner roux in one day and on that day i remember my average was 4-5 minutes
Finally, a block building tutorial that I can understand and work on! Thank you
Nice, I hope this will help to spread the method among the speedcubing community, I genuinely think it's as good as CFOP if not even better.
I'm just starting with the more advanced cube solving (after the entirely beginner solution with the daisy etc), and Roux seems so much more interesting than the CFOP. Your tutorials look awesome too, so here we go! ☺
Thank you so much, I've been doing Roux for years (I'm a casual cuber) and I've always been super slow at this first step! This helps so much!
rouxvolution! be aware that we are blessed to have Kian spend some of his time helping to share his wisdom!
Finally someone who actually explains stuff thank so much Kian Mansour
thank you, I watched this video for 3 consecutive hours and it works .
Me: Hmm.. He seems like a cool guy who is taking it slow for me to understand.
5:03 - WHAT THE FU-
It was him scrambling the cube
@@diamonddynamite1557 oh yeah yeah he was scrambling oh yeah yeah
@@overcomplexification imagine reading those comments once the meme dies and everybody has its original profile pics 😂
@@-daigher-2549 bruuuuhhh dis is litty af duuudee 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
- Daigher - well.....
Kian is the only person who teaches with a lot of patience and speaks slowly making it easier to understand... Really a great tutorial video👍
This is the best roux method on YT by far
Finally I've found a good Roux method tutorial, thanks!
Thanks heaps for these videos, first time learning the cube, second week and got my first
Really appreciate this tutorial, a lot of the others have way too much assumed knowledge and this is the first one presented in a format that I felt I built some skills and tools for solving from the very beginning. Thanks dude.
He says to never change grip, BUT HE'S CONSTANTLY CHANGING GRIP AND HE'S CONFUSING ME
Spaghet Toucher yes I agree
The reason why he changes grip is so that it can be seen and understood but if you keep changing grip time will be lost
Me too
I already know how to solve it, I was curious about another method and I still can’t follow this guy.
@@bryandempsey3840 so basically. Solve 2 opposite edges of the cross. Then solve the corners of the cross. Then solve the middle edges. Then solve the corners of the last layer. Then flip the remaining edges so that they are all oriented with either the top or bottom layer. Then solve the edges. Usually you will solve 2 of them. And the remaining 4 edges will all solve at the same time. When you get better at it. The steps will seperate like this:
1. Complete 1st block, 1st and second layer of left or right side of cube.
2. Complete second block 1st and second layer of side opposite 1st block.
These can be completed much easier once you understand the M and wide moves of the cube.
3. Use CMLL to solve corners with one algorithm.
4. Flip all edges.
5. Solve remaining 6 edges.
It's incredibly move efficient compared to CFOP. But a little slower because the thought process is different, and the moves are slower in general. But it's fun to know.
There is a also a form similar to Winter Variation. It's called Caterpillar, and is extremely difficult to learn. It solves all the corners as well as second block at the same time. Much like how Winter Variation solves the last F2L Pair and orients the top layer at the same time. Just speeds up the process but it's really not worth learning as the cases are harder to recognize.
I am going to really enjoy these videos. I've been doing Roux using a CFOP brain, so this is really helpful!
Got a cube yesterday and started cfop, solved it once but can’t duplicate. Got lucky with the algorithms I think so hopefully this is more consistent for me.
Excellent tutorial ! , was much needed to get more clarity and to reinforce myself.
i didnt learn the cfop method by watching its tutorials but by this some f2l is clear LOL u are amazing dude
I have been trying to nail f2l for weeks now, but roux clicked with me and seems so much easier than cfop. Thx for ending weeks of struggle.
Riptide I know I was overwhelmed with all the algs there is more algorithms to solve f2l them there is to solve the cube with roux and if your seeing this tell me your time since you were just starting out when you typed this and now it’s 5 months later 👍🏽
thank you so much this is actually the first video i watched that actually helped me speed cube my rubik's cube
Awesome explanation. Finally found good Roux method tutorial.
finally a tutorial video that actually helped! thank you
Any cfop solvers switching and were cringing so god damn hard at the beginning
I’m just learning the other methods but yes
Damn if you master or learn you 1st method its really hard to change you gameplay...
You need to be back with oh wr avg and how do you feel about Max breaking yours
By the way nice video
Edit: mine is top comment but I have less subs
I'm thinking of making a video about what it feels like to get WR and then lose WR later on
Wow. I'm certainly not gonna be Sub-1 soon with Roux, but this tutorial helped me learn the first block in an instant. Thanks!
-PS. There's 1 problem, the amount of rotations you do gets me confused with what moves you're doing, but it's not a big problem, as this is a fairly intuitive part, and I understood what you were doing
this is a great video i cant understand other roux tutorials but this one is great!!!
This tutorial is very good,nicely taught!!
I saw your name in the list of competitors for Quebec 2019 tournament. I will be there!
Best tutorial for roux method. I heard that it takes very less moves to solve it n yep that's true. I shifted to roux now from advanced cfop n average at just about 12.56 secs. Thanks kian Mansour.
How much time has it been till you averaged 12 seconds. I started cubing few weeks ago and it takes me one whole minute to solve it no matter how hard I try and solving it in 13 seconds seems impossible to me
@@achyuththouta6957 how are you right now? Have you gotten close to your goal?:)
Generally speaking this is very educational. Probably one of the better roux beginners methods I've seen. But why does he keep saying R' U R? Wouldn't the Last R be an extra move?
late reply lol, but i think it's because he teaches the same thing in sb, so it's easier to understand "R' U R anytime" than "R' in fb, R' U R in sb"
So descriptive! Best Roux tutorial on yt!
Thank you brother I was really struggling to be faster in first and second block
You should write the scramble that you used to teach so that the viewers can follow along. Thanks for the awesome video by the way, because I have been trying to learn the Roux Method for a couple days now.
Thanks a lot. I have never understood it. Now I did it. Just thanks
lol thanks for the tutorial it really helped and you know when you said 'U2' the captions said UA-cam 😂😂
FInally a Tut for roux I can understand! thanks Bud!
I wish I had this tutorial when I was learning!
Thank you so much this got my time down to 20 seconds
I almost laughed out loud when he said 2-7 algorithms cuz ive been over here for the past month tryna memorize over 100 algorithms for CFOP i-
@@NoOne-pr8oh You should try it and see for yourself. personally, roux fits me more, but I shouldnt tell you what to do.
Best teacher ever! Bettter than any other Rubiks cube teachers!
This method was so good! I give you 👍
Thanks. Well described, looking forward to the following videos.
You and Cubastic are the best cubers
and make it easier to understand
Great video, but I feel that the beginner’s method is better for starters. The 7 algorithms train them to not just think intuitively, but also be able to recognize cases and know what to do. Then, once they know the mechanics of the cube, they can learn intuitive f2l or something.
Yay he finally did it thanks kian roux is growing
U made blockbuilding so much easier. If I saw this 3 days ago, Id’ve been sub 30
Thanks for the roux help. I couldn't find a way to learn roux
Good video, but you turn the cube over WAY too much. Its especially hard because of the M-slice
bed turorial my man i appreciate your hard work u earned a sub
:)
This is the best roux tutorial. Well detailed thanks
I normally do CFOP and wanted to learn roux, for people who normally do CFOP just think of a "block" as an edge with 2 f2l pair adjacent or next to it. PS thanks for the tutorial.
This is like learning how to solve the rubik’s cube again
Amazing tutorial, thanks!
Damn bro I get it immediately thank you you're great at explaining
Thanks Kian, now i can make first block yay
Does being color neutral a thing that improves you in roux
Yes
Nice I am really helped I average around 11 sec with cfop
this is very good for someone who can solve the cube, but only using lbl
Hey Kian.. I learned Beginners Method and moved on to CFOP, but I'm interested in Roux.. I want to try it but I don't wanna be counter-productive and lose my times that I got with cfop. Should I try roux or should I just stick with cfop?
Try it out! Cubing is just about having fun anyways
okay.. thanks dude!
Im 30 sec with cfop, im interested to learn this roux method. Im bad with finger tricks, been solving cfop for 3 years without getting faster. Roux seems much more intuitive. If youre good at solving intuitive f2l this might be a better method. I have yet to solve a cube with this method so i cant say much
*FINALLY!*
*FINALLY A TUTORIAL THAT IS NOT LIKE “FIGURE IT OUT!”!!*
*THANK YOU SO MUCH!*
I am planning to switch to roux because improving in CFOP feels really difficult So do u think that I can switch to roux
Sure it is easy anna
helps a lot, thanks for sharing.
I've watched so many tutorials on how to do the Roux method. So far, you're the only one whose working out for me. Earnt a sub, you're amazing at tutorials.
Tbh I found this very confusing because at the beginning of the tutorial he said you won’t move around the cube ( like switching the face) and during it he moves it so much that it is confusing. Please help me
He means you're not gonna rotate the entire cube while your solving. You're always gonna keep that same face facing you (at least for the first two blocks.) The only reason he is rotating the cube is to show you whats going on. If he didn't rotate the cube, you would be even more confused because you can't see what he is doing. Hope this helps.
@@hopelesssoap it was confusing in the beginning but when I moved the cube myself, only then I understood what he was doing
Your tutorial is the best !! 👍🏻
Thanks Kian👍💪💪
I didn't understand no matter how many times I watched your video and how many times i tried, but it's ok. I already know how to solve it in a more simple way, and now my head feels really burned
The easiset method is the 1st and 3rd layer method, or corners first. You solve the 1st layer corners, then the 3rd layer corners. Everything else is super easy at that point. Obviously you'll need the 2 basic algorithms for the 3rd layer corners. But you don't need any algorithms for the 1st and 3rd layer edges. You'll need 2 algorithms for the middle layer edges. But they are both super easy. They are M,Tx2, M',Tx2. That's to orient your edges. And the other is M,T,M,T,M,Tx2, M',T,M',T,M'Tx2, that's to solve. Much easier than anyother method. In terms of learning. It's 4 algorithms in total, but those last 2 are so easy to remember. And the corners of the third layer are the same as every other method. You can really cut it down to 3 algorithms but that would require you to learn every algorithm for the corners, which there are a lot, and that's not practical for a beginner. But if i were to teach a beginner i would recommend that method, over the layer by layer system.
It's not the fastest method, but it's impossible to get messed up so bad you have to restart. Because you literally can't mess it up.
Best roux tutorial 🎉
Thanks for great tutorials! I wonder, why is the M rotation seen as done from the left? Wouldn't it be more natural to see it from the right? (I'm right handed)
You're welcome! Yep I agree, I guess old conventions die hard
I think it's based on the closest letter in the alphabet. The M layer is in between L and R layers and the closest letter of the 2 in the alphabet is L. So it follows the L face. it's the same for the E and S layers.
Best ROUX tutorial
Recently I've switched to roux, and for all my blocks, i make pairs to solve them. How should I break my old CFOP habits?
OMG I REALIZED TODAY THAT THE FIRST TIME I LEART TO SOLVE CUBE IN CLASS 3 WAS NOT BEGINNERS METHOD BU ROUX OMG
Love your videos Kian.
bro i did the same but i messed up the edge when doing the first block but your tutorials are awsom
Why do you do an R move after you take the corner out of the flipping spot? Several times, eg. 15:45.
Hey Kian, I have been practicing roux for a week now, but my time isn’t that great, how long did it take you to get sub 1 min? Thx, a reply would be great.
This is the best tutorial i found for this method thanks bro you have a new sub and like
Thnks kian for this wonderful video and today is my birth day thnks for the gift
Thnks
Wish u luck to beat your pb

Man I wished this was helpful. I'll have to right it down, memorize it. Ignore my project due in 3 days, then apply it while someone who knows what they're doing is watching me
Really useful tutorial. I use a GAN 356 air, should I change to qiyi plz reply
I think I'm gonna give it a try with roux method again.
I'm very bad with the white cross.
2 years later. I'm still using Roux method.
WOW, I like this way more than CFOP
thx for new method
Qotd: What is your main? (Mine used to be the MF3 RS2 but now it's the gan 356 r)
Thank you I would say this was better than J Perms tutorial
This seems like a really good method. Do pros use this?
I do! I'm ranked 9th in the world at 3x3 and 2nd for OH
Great tutorial. Hoping to get my time below 30 secs.
Boogie dude same here! my pb is only 39 secs
My new pb is 41 secs, but a few years back I did 32 secs.
@@angelsbum I dunno I started cubing about few weeks ago and I can barely solve it in a minute. My pb is 57 seconds and my average is around 1 minute 15 seconds. I am pretty slow with Roux. Maybe I should switch to CFOP
wait can we just do everything on white e.g 1st and 2nd blocks on white then rotate them?
Awesome 👍
I like the vid cool I need to learn
