Since I cba to check, at 2014 competitions with feet, what is the mean proportion of competitors who competed in feet?

Spoiler: Feet Solvers vs. Non Feet Solvers in competitions where the event took place

Each bar represents a competition.

Overall, at competitions, on average, 14% of competitors participate in the event.

Spoiler: Divided By Year

How to read this table: In competitions that held the event 'Rubik's Cube: with feet', in the year 2010, of all the competitors that participated in the competition, on average, 13.0% participated in this event.

I also posted other (hopefully) meaningful stats earlier in the thread.

 

[BboyArchon]

For me feet do not add anything to cubing specially. One just use different tool (feet instead of hands) to solve cube, but it's still the same cube solved with the same set of algorithms.
I think that solving with feet should be allowed for people who do not have hands (accident or birth defect) but not as separate event.

Should we also remove 3x3 OH in your opinon? Same argument.

I do practise 'Feet' and I don't see why it should be removed. It's fun for me and it needs other kind of ability or dexterity

 

[Amress]

Should we also remove 3x3 OH in your opinon? Same argument.

It isn't the same argument. OH requires many, many different algs than 3x3.

 

[Richy]

And feet also requires different algs. It's even more important to learn different and more algorithms for feet than for OH in my opinion...

 

[Amress]

For OH, most serious cubers learn different algs for PLL, COLL, and most CFOP solvers learn different OLLs too. I'm not going to pretend to be a feet expert, but I don't think feet solvers learn that many extra algs.

 

[EMI]

Let's make a new poll: "How many extra algs have you learned for OH and Feet?"
That should clarify things.

 

[Richy]

Well some people learn WV, SV and other last slot techniques, and also different OLLs,PLLs and COLLs for feet. I think that there is a lot of people that make a lot of effort for improving in the category and also some people that they would make more effort if feet was not attacked of being removed like that so many times (including me). Some people make a lot of effort and removing this category would not be fair because of that. I would like to hear from top feet solvers that they learned some algorithms and subsets to improve with feet to make some people to be quiet and like this they would know that for improving with feet you should also learn many algorithms. (Sorry if my English is not perfect).
Edit: But for that poll should only answer about with feet the people who practises with feet

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Choice of algorithms is really important for feetcubing. Many people seem to be under the impression that solving a 3x3 with feet is just like 2H, except on the ground and slower. The fact that the cube is on the ground means, assuming D is the face touching the ground, that RFLB turns are the fastest to execute. This is reminiscent of OH solvers preferring to do RU or RUL/RUD algorithms, but since turning is slower, feetsolvers might opt for a shorter algorithm that involves more faces.

For example, how I do H perms in two-handed, one-handed, and feet solving are totally different. I use

M2' U M2' U2 M2' U M2',
R2 U2 R U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R U2 R2, and
L R B2 L' R' z L' R' B2 L R,

respectively.

 

[qqwref]

But H perm is a special case, isn't it? There are a lot of pretty good algs for H with different move sets. In your list, I have seen people use the third one for OH (albeit executed differently) and I myself use it for sim.

As you mentioned, the difference between RFLB and RULD is just a rotation. So I would be surprised to hear that for feetsolvers most of OLL/PLL had to be replaced with new algs, or that F2L was done totally differently than in OH. The biggest difference is that turns have to be done even more slowly than in OH, which certainly does affect what turns a good solver would want to do, but it doesn't seem like a big enough change to have people develop entirely new ideas and techniques, like we have seen for OH.

 

[Renslay]

For example, how I do H perms in two-handed, one-handed, and feet solving are totally different. I use

M2' U M2' U2 M2' U M2',
R2 U2 R U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R U2 R2, and
L R B2 L' R' y L' R' B2 L R,

respectively.

L R B2 L' R' y L' R' B2 L R does not work.

 

[szalejot]

So you want to remove One-handed as well?

Actually - yes.
I do not find OH attractive in any way. For me it's just some strange deviation which (surprisingly) became popular.

 

[kinch2002]

L R B2 L' R' y L' R' B2 L R does not work.

He's mixed up notation a bit due to the confusion of solving feet with the cube 'on it's side'. It should be a z rotation really, if the last layer is supposed to be at the back

 

[Renslay]

Ah, okay. Now it works, thank you.

 

[Kirjava]

At the moment, I don't feel too strongly about feet like I used to. Some people love it and enjoy competing in it and want to do so. That's great! They want to keep doing so and I assume they probably will. More power to them.

However, it's not an event I like at all. I think it reflects badly on the WCA. I don't think it's the direction we should be heading. I think we could do better, and don't want us to set a poor precedent that makes us feel like we lost out in hindsight.

I think this time we don't have any strictly objective reasons to remove events, and people think that this is reason enough to not remove any at all.

I'm not sure I agree.

 

[Coolster01]

To be 100% honest, I wouldn't care at all if feet was replaced with another event. As long as it isn't a BLD or big cube event, I'd probably get into it xD

 

[antoineccantin]

Man, you're very contradictory. You've been arguing strongly for ages in this thread about how feet should stay because of all it's amazing benefits, and now you say you don't care if it gets removed?

 

[Tempus]

I feel like OH and Feet solving makes speedcubing a very inclusive sport. It means that those who don't have full use of both hands are still able to compete, and removing them capriciously would be analogous to discontinuing the special Olympics. It seems needlessly discriminatory.

If anything, we should be increasing inclusivity, such as by adding an event for the blind. I'm thinking blindfold solving with a Braille cube, mirror blocks, or other cube where the faces are differentiable by feel alone, and where you have to put the blindfold on before inspection. (I've tried solving my mirror blocks cube in total darkness, and it's entirely doable.)

I just thought about how I'd like another event, so I guess I didn't think of replacing before...? Just taking it out is something I don't agree with at all, personally. I just kinda want something new.

If feet were removed as a separate event people could still compete in 3x3 by using their feet.

As above, using special cubes is specifically allowed in the regulations.

3d1) Exception: Competitors with a medically documented visual disability may use textured puzzles with different textures on different faces. Textures/patterns must be uniform per face. Each face should have a distinct colour, to aid in scrambling and judging.

 

[Tempus]

This makes no sense. To continue the analogy, this comment is tantamount to saying that it's okay to discontinue the special Olympics because the physically disabled would still be able to compete against ordinary Olympians. Does that really seem like a reasonable position to you? Can you not see the inherent bias?
