Fridrich?

[Rubiksfreak]

Why does everyone hate fridrich all the sudden? The majority of world records have been broken with this method, especially the fast ones such as 5.66, 5.55. Everyone says " i really wanna switch from fridrich to roux, or from fridrich to petrus." Or "I will never go back to fridrich!" My question is why?

Define everyone.

My cat doesn't hate Fridrich, and neither does my mother

Back to the topic though, I think people like the feel of being non-conformists, and feel like they can brag about using a different method
That's my theory.

I agree

People want to be special or unique so they use something less common to brag about it. And since I don't think many cubers would use a bad cube or off brand they use a less common method. Just my thoughts

I don't think you know what the word 'hate' means.

 

[Lchu613]

What's "hate"?

But yeah, I have to say that there are plenty of people out there who use and love Fridrich. AKA the majority of the community I believe
(Not that I'm an expert or anything)

 

[YddEd]

I don't hate it. I just think it's boring and repetitive.

Not that many people change methods from a popular one for which they know all the algs and can perform very quickly, to one which requires a good deal of 'starting over', learning new algs and concepts for the sake of being different.

Roux has its advantages.

They do not.

The majority of world records have been broken with this method, especially the fast ones such as 5.66, 5.55. Everyone says " i really wanna switch from fridrich to roux, or from fridrich to petrus." Or "I will never go back to fridrich!" My question is why?

They all have their own individual reasons. It would be foolish to just assume that everyone simply does it because of their deep hatred for a speedcubing method.

I don't hate it. I just think it's boring and repetitive.

Any method is repetitive once you use it enough.

People want to be special or unique so they use something less common to brag about it.

Or people genuinely believe it's a better method to use.

I am sure there are a lot of people who use roux or zz because it works for them but there are still a lot of that switch just to be special

 

[Lchu613]

And then after practice it might work out better for them

Personally I'm sticking with Fridrich. I've gotten used to F2L, and I have pretty bad recognition/searching for blockbuilding for Roux or Petrus or whatever.
Granted, with practice I might be able to get good at them but for now I'm improving nicely with my own method

(I'm colorblind, I have no idea if this has anything to do with anything or not)

 

[chardison1980]

I believe cubers are changing because they like using something different rather than being a robot when it come to hey I see a patern use alg, and every solve seems like that when it comes to frid, maybe I'm wrong but at least that's what I'm seeing, as far as worlds fastest solvers using frid and there's alaxander Lao 5bld which as shown that roux can break records along with frid users

 

[sokoban]

I think that people are discovering that Fridrich is not just (the) most practical fast(er) solution. It can also get a bit boring, since every solve generally has the same principle. Sure, you could say that about any method if you use it long enough. For example, I thought it would be fun to try out petrus the other day. Hated it because I'm used to CFOP. But again it's just what works for you

 

[redbeat0222]

I use fridrich but, It can be quite repetitive. I think learning new methods and exploring more is what makes you want to cube more. Yeah some of my friends don't like fridrich but it can be very fast.

 

[mDiPalma]

Cubing is about fun. And personally, I find the Petrus and ZZ approaches more fun than the rest.

 

[aznanimedude]

i switched because the last letter of the alphabet is kewl :3
