POLL: What method do you guys use?

[CiaranBeahan]

CFOP is the most popular. But being the best method, now that is arguable.

Petrus takes the least amount of moves I think

How about Heise?

How about Heise?

Kociemba method. Optimal solution every time

 

[sneaklyfox]

There should be an "other" option.

 

[WinPooh]

Currently I use CFOP (2 month of cubing), plan to switch to Roux.

Kociemba is not God's algorithm

Or... whatever algorithm cubeexplorer uses. Learn that method.

Or... whatever algorithm cubeexplorer uses.

It does use Kociemba's algorithm (and now I refer you back to Thom).

Wow! Video of a solve please? I'm interested to see how a speedsolve with Guimond looks like.

ZZ is love ZZ is lyfe oh and roux is cool too but it's the ZZ life for me

I'm sure this comment has been made before, but I saw the first word of this thread 'POLL' and thought "Permute and Orient the Last Layer....isn't that just 1LLL?"

Worse for me, I saw this thread a few days ago and knew it said "POLL", looked at it just now and I was wondering if this had anything to do with PLL...

A lot of CFOP? No surprise.

 

[megaminxwin]

I use my psychic powers to intimidate the cube into solving itself. I'm sure if I trained my mind a lot more by going to those sessions with Dath-groken, my times could improve, but he's in a really remote location and I haven't been taught how to fly over yet.

I like roux

 

[rybaby]

I feel like non-CFOPers have a greater tendency to respond to these polls. A lot of CFOPers migt just not care so their percentage is lower in this poll. I could be completely wrong, just speculating. But just from experience I feel like more than 72% (as the poll shows) of cubers I have met use CFOP. Haven't met many fellow Roux users personally.

I think you are probably correct when you say that non-CFOPers have a greater tendency to respond to these polls.

A survey earlier this year covered age, gender, method, speed and provides a slightly different picture:

https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/...ubers-your-age&p=966082&viewfull=1#post966082

The earlier survey shows 86.2% CFOP, 6.9% Roux, 3.4% ZZ whereas this poll currently shows 72% CFOP, 17% Roux, 8% ZZ.

I doubt the choice of methods has changed that much since April. One thing is consistent... both the survey and this poll show twice as many Roux solvers as ZZ.

CFOP for 2H, ZZ for OH.

 

[TDM]

I don't really use one main method any more. I practise ZZ and Roux about the same amount, and I also do PCMS and COL sometimes. I might try switching to method neutral...

Methods

Which is your main 3x3 method and why?
I currently use CFOP, but would like to try something else.

Experimental/Modified methods also count.....

Thanks,
King Mike
