gsingh's Road to Sub 6

[PiKeeper]

Yep, he definitely averages almost sub-7. My comp averages are often over 50% slower than my at home averages. This is completely reasonable and not suspicious in the slightest.

 

[NigelTheCuber]

@PiKeeper yep, that is so true. i got a 32 second average despite averaging 17 normally.

150% of 17 is 25.5
We're talking about averaging 50% more, in my case that would be 16.5, and I never get 16.5s even as singles (not even in comp when I averaged 12 unless you count a 15 + 2 with comp nerves after overpracticing for 5 hours straight)
Also, when you're faster, surely you're more consistent?

i dont want to (because im a loyal cfop solver), but im thinking about switching to roux.
i do think that roux will be the better method in the future (spamming tps will not get you as far as being efficient)
i dont want to switch because i feel like almost everyone uses cfop and using roux will be odd
but i do agree that the rouxvolution is coming
should i switch?

No, you shouldn't.

Roux is still a minority method, but is far and away more common than any other non-cfop method

 

[NigelTheCuber]

You average 10 seconds with CFOP, I doubt you will be able to get there with Roux *very quickly*. Staying with CFOP is best option imo.

gsingh dont fake u avg 10

 

[IsThatA4x4]

Switch to roux if you want, for sure! Whatever's more fun, or whatever you deem best, don't listen (unless the advice is really good) to what other people want you to do.
But if you improve unnaturally fast, you know what will happen. Stick to your limits.

I can see that coming. He's done it TWICE

gsingh dont fake u avg 10

If he averages 10, but his goal is WR ao5 then he's clearly not concerned about short term improvement but max potential.
Great time to switch IMHO.

Gonna start learning ZBLL tomorrow (I started in april and learned like 30 cases but I've probably forgotten them by now)
I want to learn 6 cases per day, like I used to. I will learn the U cases first. Hopefully I can get them done in around two weeks and move on to the T cases.

 

[gsingh]

Are you planning on learning S and As as well? Or are you only going to learn TULH Pi?

idk yet
probably yes

I learned 1-6 of U today. That was before writing the message above, so I actually started today. Gotta learn 7-12 tomorrow.

 

[gsingh]

i got a 4.10 single that turned out to be a mis-scramble. sad
2 free pairs and a pll skip

Do not use cflop its overrated and rigged to be the best method bc literally 95% of cubers are using it and are constantly trying to find ways it can improve unlike other methods

Why is using a good method bad? Who cares how many people use it?

 

[LukasCubes]

Why is using a good method bad? Who cares how many people use it?

more people are finding ways to improve it more than other methods. CFOP has been so popular for so long now and its the consensus best method for 3x3 kostly bexause way more people use it and way more people try to improve it. My point is its doesnt hurt to be more experimental with the cube. Dont get me wrong CFOP is good, I just dont think its the best method. I'm like other people. I say the method I use is the best method, and I main Waterman (of all methods lol). If people say otger methpds aee the best, why dont they use them? Maybe the algcount? Who knows? I main Waterman and I dont know nearly as much algs as I should in it. Barely anyone tries anything to improve waterman other than Eric Fattah for his LMCF L5E and L6E and WaterRoux L7E. And of course Marc Waterman when he first came up with the method. For CFOP you got things like 1LLL, Multislotting, VLS, WV, SV, CLS, Whatever Ribbon Method does, stupid ways so do CFOP with S Moves, Pseudoslotting (which doesnt exist in Waterman), and more. Thats just an example though there are many more methods like this. This obviously makes CFOP a good method, but also kind of overrated.
