Yeah i know it sounds stupid but you know what i mean!

no i dont lol

fast world records as opposed to the slow world records?

I love Fridrich.
Edit: It's fun to use sometimes.

 

[Noahaha]

I love Fridrich! It has made me disenchanted with 3x3 and allowed me to spend more time on my BLD. The fact that it is the method I am fastest with makes things even more frustrating. I hope I never switch!

Fridrich is gr8. ~(◕‿◕✿)~
Learning new methods is also gr8 and fun, but I fail to see any hate for any method.

 

[kunparekh18]

Depends on the person. If one method suits someone more than another then that person would obviously switch the the former.

 

[Bestsimple]

Possibly to feel unique and special.

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

I think alaxander lao is the only roux solver out there that has potential to break a world record though:/, and that's sad considering how many roux solvers there are. Also fridrich is very repetitive, but what method isn't?

Well...7.08 is a slow wr, compared to 5.55 right? 7.08 is no longer a world record but it was at one point.

Sometimes I'm just standing in the corner and yelling "Damn you, Fridrich, curse you all! @&^%/#@!"

7.08 Was also set with Fridrich.

7.08 is also not slow.

It's been nearly five years since that record was achieved, and it's 23rd best single.
In comparison, the WR 3x3 average by the end of 2009 (10.07s by Tomasz Zolnowski) was not only achieved more than a year after the 7.08 single, but would get Tomasz 90th if done today.

I switched to ZZ because my dumb hands kept fumbling up on cube rotations. I also find zz f2l really enjoyable. Also, as others have mentioned, CFOP tends to feel repetitive. Part of the fun of cubing is in learning new ways to solve it, so I'm always experimenting with other methods.

Implying any method doesn't get repetitive.

 

[Noahaha]

BLD memorization never gets repetitive, but I guess that's not really a method.

 

[Ross The Boss]

whats with all these people saying that cfop isn't fun? that's preposterous! with all of the advanced techniques and tricks for f2l it seems like there is always something to learn. there is also alot of last layer options rather than just oll and pll.

Haha, are you serious? Do you know how many more Fridrich solvers there are, and how few of them could possibly break the (average) WR? Frankly, I'm surprised - and very impressed - that Alex pushed so far ahead of the other Roux solvers.

Yes, definately.

Most people who use CFOP don't really go around telling people they use CFOP, because unless stated it's assumed a cuber uses it.

This. Vanilla CFOP can get rather boring. But if you consider undertaking blockbuilding for F2L, or edge control, 3CLL, ELL, COLL, VH, WV, RLS, ZBLS, CLS, CPEOLL, CLLEF, OLLCP, etc., realise that your understanding of the puzzle and your ability to manipulate it will increase multiple-fold.

It's the moment when you look at the cube and fully understand how each move you apply affects the puzzle and helps to solve the puzzle that cubing becomes a constant discovery.

Yes, definitely.

Not disagreeing with you, but I find that it is much easier to gain this understanding of the cube through exploring other methods.

Maybe that is actually why people say CFOP is boring- the people who are apt to be bored are also quick to abandon ship to other methods, and then pigeonhole CFOP and forever think of it as "that method that I got bored of".

Well, maybe this realization is my cue to get back into CFOP, and really explore it. Not gonna replace zz, but it might be fun exploring new technique for big cube reduction and so forth.

We should all just switch to L2L4. Almost nobody is using that, so that would make each of us unique. Also, it's different then CFOP, so it must be less repetitive.
