People who like Roux really like Roux.
Fridrich or Roux?

Petrus is where it's at.

Don't get sucked into the band wagon. CFOP is standard. Roux requires more thinking. CFOP is easy to transition into. Roux has a lot of m slicing. Your choice...

CFOP has a lot of algs to be fast. Roux is fun. CFOP has a difficult cross-f2l transition. Mooing is fun. CFOP does not moo.

Lol. Has every single Roux user gone through a hipster phase? It seems like it.

Roux is too mainstream. I use Waterman. Nah, I use Waterman because I tried it, and I liked it.
Both methods are fast. Just pick one, and stick to it. Or pick one and switch if you hate it.

I use Roux. I tried CFOP, but didn't really like it. I'm not a fan of algs, so I prefer something more intuitive. Give it a shot!

I SAID MOST. MOST. There's always that guy that thinks he's a real waffle that when he gets out of bed he thinks it's a waffle iron and proceeds to grab syrup and pour it all over himself. (but that's when I did a lot of drugs)

I currently use CFOP, but I'm thinking about Roux. I've done it before and I really like it, and I think I might make the switch. The only thing that stops me is OH. How the heck do you do fast M turns with one hand?!? I use the <RU> H-perm for OH atm, and I could do <rRU> stuff for but that's kind of cheating for Roux... any tips? I'm seriously considering switching, especially as since I broke my hand, I've done practically zilch 2h solves, so I did a few the other day and they took 27-33s, not 22 which is what I averaged. Before I broke my hand, my Roux took 28-38s.. I figure if I'm gonna switch, I might as well do it now. But M moves for OH? HELP?!

I can add to that.
Choose CFOP if you:
- Think you can memorise 81+ algs (to be precise)
- Want a method that you can transition to at your own pace
- Want to use the most popular method
- Prefer algs over intuitive methods
- Prefer intuitive methods over algs
- Like using M slices
- Want a method where you can learn a few tricks to get faster
- Are willing to commit a lot of time

Yeah, the thing that annoys me about Roux is how I have to commit time to it. If I'd've just chosen CFOP instead I wouldn't have to invest any time in getting faster.

I think I there are 3 people on speedsolving that use an advanced corners first method.
I've had Petrus and Fridrich as my main methods. I actually used Fridrich until I was sub-20. I've also used Roux, and a few beginner methods.
