Read this thread; it contains information about all the main methods. Choose whichever looks best for you.

Thanks but I couldn't make my mind just seeing that.

Try petrus or ZZ. They have less algs than CFOP.

Thanks but I couldn't make my mind just seeing that.

ok, let me make it easy for you.

LEARN ZZ.

 

[suhoon]

I'll go and see

Where?

 

[guysensei1]

Where?

Look for tutorials by Phil Yu or asmallkitten on youtube. I think they're pretty awesome and clear, even though I don't do ZZ.

Thanks all of you i decided on the roux.

 

[TDM]

Where?

Thanks all of you i decided on the roux.

Well if you do decide to learn Roux or if you switch to ZZ, I have links in my signatures to tutorials on both methods. Each letter is a separate tutorial (except "or", which is two letters for one tutorial).

O_O I never noticed!

HELP CFOP like Dan Brown.

Hello I can solve the cube in 1:44 with the beginner method in Dan Brown's videos.
I think his videos were really good, because he didn't leave anything out, and showed
everything that could happen etc.

So I tried to learn CFOP by using ParadoxCubing's videos. Maybe I'm just kind of stupid, but
I already get lost when he doesn't explain how to get the pair to match in the first place before
inserting in F2L. I just think he wasn't at all as good as Dan Brown.

I want to use algorithms because I think it's easier than other stuff.. ok I'm a noob, but please help
me find something that can help me because I don't know where to find a good way where they
don't leave anything out.

Thanks in advance.

That right there is where I, as well as many others, learned the method. If you have the patience to read through it, it'll be worth it. Badmephisto also has a youtube channel with some of the first known youtube videos about CFOP. There are still plenty of other videos, so if ParadoxCubing's video doesn't work, try others!

Thanks a lot man

Tips to solve for Starters

I used to know how to solve a rubiks cube (3x3) but I can no longer remember. I wouldn't mind if you refer me to videos.
Sorry if this post is clogging up your forums.

I have a tutorial in in my signature: "Roux as a beginner method." If you learned the standard beginner's method, then my way will be pretty different, but I think it's the easiest way.

 

[Bluestormy]

Thanks very much DeeDubb. If anyone else has any other easy cubing methods I would love to hear about them.
Thanks,

I think I 'll switch to Roux because I can't understand lookahead in CFOP.

 

[DeeDubb]

I think I 'll switch to Roux because I can't understand lookahead in CFOP.

Even though of course I love Roux, I would say that's not a great reason to switch. Lookahead will come with time. Roux has lookahead too. It just takes time to develop.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

I think I 'll switch to Roux because I can't understand lookahead in CFOP.

Lookahead is something you just get. It develops. Remember when f2l was difficult to make pairs. It's the same thing.
That and roux has lookahead too which is just as hard (or maybe more I think).

I've been switching between Roux and CFOP for awhile now, but I still can't decide which to stick with. I like both methods, and I average 24 with CFOP and 27 with Roux.
