Fridrich?

CFOP is one of my favourite methods.

That's a theory I've had myself for awhile. That music analogy is perfect for this.
I can see 5BLD breaking the single record, and he uses Roux, I believe. If that happened, I bet roux would get a popularity boost all of the sudden.

yeah i think all his UWRs are already giving roux some help. roux really deserves more people using it.
im a victim of the "mainstream" thing in both music and cubing. i hadn't even heard of roux until i was sub-20. i tried roux for a while but after 2 months decided it would be best for me if i just stuck with cfop (it's not like cfop is bad or anything). i was good at M turns and CMLL and LSE lookahead and whatnot, but it was just too different and i'd been accustomed to cfop for waay too long.

and for music i've managed to push away from the mainstream stuff a bit since i do think most of it is crap.

Just not as much as roux I bet

I use CFOP for some things, but I tend to be faster with Roux, so normally I use roux (except I use yau on 4x4/5x5 and use CFOP on big cubes). I spent like 2 years with CFOP and got to a 25 sec avg, then switched to Roux and I'm at 20 in 11 months.

I think it just depends on what works for you, I spent 2 years with fridrich and was at 12 second average.
