[Member Intro] I’m new to this and my average is about 1 min 35 seconds

[Cuberstache]

I just want to learn how to solve the 3x3x3 in at least under 30 seconds

Great, then go with Roux and have fun with it! (I use CFOP btw)

EDIT: If you're not aware, CriticalCubing has a lot of great Roux tutorials on YouTube. There might be some newer ones that are better, but that's where I learned Roux.

Okay then both Roux and Cfop are good if that is your goal.

Alright I will check it out, Tysm

I will most likely learn both and choose which feels most comfortable. I’m just so exited for my new cube to come

 

[CodingCuber]

I watched it, I watch j perm a lot. That is what made me want to do cfop but then his f2l tutorial is super complicated

You don't need to "learn" f2l. You can figure it out intuitively and make your algs better as you go. Have fun cubing.

Welcome! What’s your main?

I just want to learn how to solve the 3x3x3 in at least under 30 seconds

That can be done with any speedsolving method
Roux is better than CFOP For one handed and I think it might be better for normal 3x3
having said that the Morrison’s make a valid point that cfop is better for big cubes but there is Meyer which is only a bit worse
my advice would be to learn both use cfop for big cubes and roux for one handed and then just decide which one you prefer for 2 handed
you will almost certainly learn both at some point during your cubing career so you may as well learn them now and also have a look at ZZ and Petrus

I think I'm faster than the fastest Meyer 4x4 solver

Um I think that was meant for @AvaMarie10102 I see you are new so you could create a thread yourself introducing yourself.

I think that Roux seems like it is a little better than CFOP for OH but keep in mind that the top 2 OH solvers use CFOP so CFOP can definitely be used to break world records.

 

[AlphaCuber is awesome]

And the fastest OH solver of all time and the only person who has managed to average sub 9 uses roux
Edit: just to clarify I’m not saying you have to use roux for OH just that it is the best current method for it and there is no reason not to as you are starting out and can use it easily

uhuh listen to this guy he is super duper fast.

Sorry

 

[KeationianCube]

Sorry

It’s ok but yeah it was meant for @AvaMarie10102

 

[Micah Morrison]

Is there any faster Meyer solver than Kian Mansour? Because if not my official average is more than 5 seconds better than the fastest Meyer solver and I am not world class yet.

Edit: just to clarify I’m not saying you have to use roux for OH just that it is the best current method for it and there is no reason not to as you are starting out and can use it easily

I think it is not a good idea to use two different methods for 3x3/events that involve solving a 3x3 or have 3x3 stage because you could be spending twice as much time practicing one method than you could do if you had to practice both.

who averages sub 9 for OH? Because if you're going to say Kian then why does he only have a 9.5 official average? A good number of cubers say they're faster than they are.

 

[Owen Morrison]

I don't think anyone does, I think whoever said that was exaggerating it a little. Or if someone does he just always chokes under pressure and has never even got within half a second of his average in comp.

It is kian check his Pb doc he has an 8.7 ao1000 and there is no reason for him to lie. Also it is pretty well known that he is useless in comps

I am not saying that he cheated, but there is a chance that he deleted bad solves / skipped through the scrambles until there was a good one for a lot of solves. I will believe him if I see him get at least a sub 9 average in comp.

But anyway let's stop clogging this member intro we can debate in the 'cfop vs roux debate thread'
