Guess the percentage of cubers who use different methods! (POLL)

Why do you have Facebook if your 11, that seems fishy to me. =P

I don’t actually. Although I have a YT account. (No content soz)

 

[Etotheipi]

How is he supposed to do things like this without Facebook?

idk, but still, I think its weird that he has it.

I don’t lol, but you can still put a description

ok, why did you say you did then? =P

I’m trying to get the thing as public as possible, location is obvious, facebook, ‘about’, etc.
Ok mods r gonna be all over us now talking about how we are disrespecting the home page and how we should merge posts and not go off topic lol.

I would be interested why nobody uses the old and forgotten Methods from the 80s when Speedcubing occured. For example, the Waterman Method has a lot of Potential with modern Algsets or Salvia (Sub 20). What are your Thoughts on it? My Idea is, when i can get Sub 20 with Roux or even Sub 15 i want to try Salvia and get Sub 10

I only know that out of all the people who went to Asian Championship 2018(~400 people), I saw only a handful using Roux. Not sure about the rest.

Quite a lot of methods have potential, but the problem is most people learn beginner’s first, then gravitate naturally towards CFOP, since it’s the easiest to progress to, and also most popular. Not to mention they see people like Max and Feliks and go ‘Oh! What methods do they use? CFOP? Ok I’ll go learn CFOP!’ If they get past that, they find videos of the Big 3, then usually stop there. Most people will never stumble onto say, Waterman, Petrus, LEOR, etc until they’ve already learnt another method. And there is a lack of resources for those methods, so it’ll be a lot harder to progress than with a well known method everyone uses :/. So it’s left to people who are dedicated with their method and everything to make YT videos, websites, alg sheets, etc for the people who might come before them. And then you have to be kind of famous.

Mostly because no one ever used them and no resources exist

Yeah so that’s the problem:

Because CFOP is popular, many people use it, so it has more resources, more algs, more fast people using it whose “remarkable accomplishment” attract more new cubers learning CFOP and make it more popular, etc, etc.

Waterman HAS resources. I made a video on it, I am working on an advanced tutorial, and I'm working on full documentation.

I think you should change the about page to:

"helo im Kehre and i lik roobix cubs im lehvin yers old i kan salve uh thre bi thre in ninten sekuhnds i yooz a vulc powr m and yooz petrus i wont tew be suhb ate wun da"

I think you should change the about page to:

"helo im Cary and i lik roobix cubs im (how old you are) yers old i kan salve uh thre bi thre in ninten sekuhnds i yooz a vulc powr m and yooz petrus i wont tew be suhb ate wun da"

Do you know how long that took me to understand ?

 

[PetrusQuber]
