Hey,
In my welcome thread I did state I'm using CFOP which, for timing solves, is still true. But as I'm still super new to cubing I wanted to try out the other dominant method first before I did even deeper (full PLL would be m next step).
My PB for 3x3 is 36s averaging at around 49s.
Why do I do this? Because it's fun in the first place. I'm not sure if I will switch my method at all (probably not for big cubes) but I lately discovered that I love other puzzles as well. Hence it seems I'm more into the solving multiple puzzles / ways than being just super quick in one.
Also getting super quick is hard wit time restrictions my life imposes.
So far: Roux is super fun. Way more intuitive and not too hard if you already know CFOP. I can reuse all OLL cases from the 2x2 which themselves are more or less the ones from 3x3 anyway. The only stage I'm struggling with conceptionally is the EP substep ind LES. As the cases are soooo close I mess up a lot (M' rather M). But as ist usually 3 steppers I just turn some extra rounds.
My M move is horrendous but M' and M2 are decent from m 3x3 PLL cases.
I don't dare timing yet as my block building is still slow but constant (it's hard NOT to turn the cube here) practising the r and l moves to insert without rotation. Also B and B' moves.
I'm absolutely not sure what's gonna be my main method. Maybe neither nor? We'll see where the journey goes.
Happy cubing!
