Yes.

 

[~Adam~]

people do white only (or pick a different color to stick to) because they get confused on f2l pairing
(...from what i always hear)

I was colour neutral until I watched an F2L tutorial by Lance. He advised that I stick to 1 colour.
So thanks for that Lance, I should've stuck with pogobat's advise.

No, it's because they're used to it.

Even though the past decade's effectively retired elite hilariously don't want anything to do with it

No. They advocate it but are unable to switch themselves.

No, it's because they're used to it.

Thats just your opinion. Kirts right as I think you'll find that most people do cross on only one color because they get confused during f2l pairing.

As I understand it, you're both right. People stick to one colour because they get confused during F2L. They get confused during F2L because they're used to doing just one colour.

Only in the same way that everyone gets confused when they first start learning F2L. It's not easy... but if you work at it it becomes more natural... however, if you stick with one cross colour you become used to those colours (like Kirjava said). Doing another colour is tricky cause your brain is still looking out for your normal colours. So it's confusing to change, but not confusing to start other than how F2L is confusing in general. (That's actually quite a tricky (dare I say confusing) argument).

 

[Kirjava]

Thats just your opinion. Kirts right as I think you'll find that most people do cross on only one color because they get confused during f2l pairing.

People pick to use a fixed colour for lots of different reasons, it is naive to say it is down to this single one.

Also, most people have chosen either fixed or non-fixed solving by the time they have started learning F2L anyway, so colour neutral would be no more confusing than non colour neutral if you had already been doing it.

 

[chris w]

pretty much that^.
I used to solve on green(LBL), however the majority of cubing resources use white on bottom in their examples and for that reason I switched. Not because it was confusing, just a hell of a lot easier to follow

 

[MostEd]

My first CN solves sucked, but nowdays CN is easier, especially if i doo pointless blockbuilding for practcie(make heise style squares)

 

[Escher]

If people could shut the **** up about colour neutrality ITT that would be awesome.

Lolvid & Feliks awkwardness

70 moves dafuq

70 moves dafuq

I expected 58-60 moves, but CFOP does have a ridiculously high movecount.

 

[Rook]

I've always loved how it takes only ~2 seconds to answer the door whenever it's a TV show. If only everyone was that quick.

 

[Samania]

FELIKS! !

Definitely could have been longer. Felik's is my inspiration because he started cubing when he was 12 and I did too! Plus, I'm still twelve and my PB is 9.002.

Ugghhh I started when I was 11, now I'm 12, and my PB is 10.xx (look in sig)

But I've been cubing about a year now, and I average 15 (like what Feliks said in the vid was how fast he was after a year)!
