help me choose speedcubing Method!

[RNewms27]

Do what I do, experiment each method until Snyder V3 is invented.

meh, I'm always suspicious of that Snyder method...

as you should be

 

[Hershey]

what does that have to do with the thread hersh

Can you not change quotes around to annoy me? I was talking about L5E (which doesn't really seem like a practical method).

Guys stop bickering.
Either way, L5E is viable ish.
But it takes the fun out of roux IMO.

I like to do more intuitive things like influence the next step or set up for easy blocks.

 

[Hershey]

It must have like a thousand algorithms...

 

[5BLD]

Yup. It has been suggested though.
And we can always orient edges to reduce cases.

I don't like the idea anyway.

 

[Hershey]

Oh wait. That is actually a good idea!

His tutorial's also good, but I prefer Roux's.

You do know that the tutorial is aimed for beginners. Roux has stuff that beginners might have a hard time learning (stfu I don't need people to say "I didn't." I said might). I kept mine simple and teach the most basic Roux possible. If you show off an advanced method the advanced way, it doesn't appeal to people (mainly those who want to get fast quick...as if) choosing methods.

what kind of question is this. i mean reallyyou make a thread to help you decide what method to use when there a bunch of threads showing what methods the majority of speedcubers use.

I was trying to ask people to help me choose a method based on my personal preference I already mentioned that i was new to speedcubing, so basically I didn't know what method was suitable for me, and coming to a speedcubing forum was the most logical thing to do?

CFOP.

I am watching your tutorial videos right now.
Btw, nice pictures.. lol

Hahaha! You silly billy...

Spoiler

I still find it funny how so many people like to point out "Roux elitists" when I get those sorts of things from CFOP solvers a lot more.

Not worth a discussion, though, hence the Spoiler, just thought I'd mention it.

And, to the OP, good luck.

Ok, I have tried the roux method, and i just dont get it... (sorry, i don't mean to sound like annoying hard-to-please kid) is there any such thing as a speed cubing method that has algorithms that i need to memorize? I think that will work out best for me

 

[Rpotts]

most speedcubing methods have one or more steps where the most common or efficient approach is learning a large-ish amount of algorithms, including Roux (CMLL), Petrus (COLL), CFOP (OLL/PLL), ZZ (ZZLL or WV, etc.

Practice makes perfect Blockbuilding for a beginner is harder than it would be for someone who already has an understanding of how the cube works. So if you really wanna use Roux, you have to practice until you understand it.

CFOP (Fridrich) has algorithms that you need to memorize, haven't you already looked into that?

 

[20four7n]

yeah i looked at fridrich, but all i found was intuitive videos, and they didnt show any algorithms

Here is a tip. The less you preserve a cube, the more intuitive that section is.

Cross -> You don't have to preserve anything... Thousands of algorithms... very intuitive
F2L -> You have to preserve the cross, somewhat intuitive
OLL -> You have to preserve f2l at the end, a little intuitive if you re arrange pairs and use tricks
PLL -> Good luck with that

 

[SkaterFly]

Fridrich F2L is the intuitive part (for most users). You don't learn this right away though You use a simplified version of the method until your times get better and you choose to learn more algorithms. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad2NdgoAg8I, it has nice links in the description, too.

This thread is a good guide for Fridrich if that's what you wanna do

what do you mean by preserve?? (im noob)
