Hi, I'm Julia

Nono. She should start with Roux because it's hard. On two 3 hour coach rides I taught a (noncuber) friend Roux- by the end of it his head hurt a lot but he could solve it. I then showed him CFOP and Petrus as a side note- he could do it easily right after I showed him the steps (except alg parts). It was torture, until he did his first solve ever, without my help with Roux, we were both so happy and glad we did it. Point is, if you can do something hard, you'll find many other things easy. Plus Roux blocks and LSE gives lots of techniques for being cube fluent (the one it misses is comms ofc)

And why do you say she should try multiple methods yet leave Roux until sub-30. I wholly agree that she should try as many methods as possible, but leaving Roux because it's hard? I disagree.

Oh no, I did't mean completely leave roux. Still try roux and all but have an understanding of lots of different methods. And don't go with a method because someone else told you use it. Go with what you like. That way when you are sub 30 you can choose the one method you like and try to improve with that.
 
Welcome! Yeah, not many of us girls around here but that is ok. Nice to see another one. Awesome that you want to learn Roux. Are you doing beginner's now? I'm CFOP but looked into learning other methods as well and Roux would definitely be my other choice though right now I'm not good at block building. Good luck with the Roux! I think there should be a Girls' Club and a Roux Club. :)
 
That's awesome. :) I'm planning on learning the Roux method a little later on.

YAYAYAYAYAYAY ROUX!!
Oh, and welcome to the forums. :)
Roux is really cool. CFOP and other LBL methods get boring after a while, but block-building type methods stay fun longer, just because its completely different each time, if that makes sense.
 
yo hi welcome

1. get your solved cube.

2. put your favorite side color on top.

3. put your second favorite (adjacent to your first color) side color on the front.

4. memorize this orientation. dont rotate the cube left or right ever again.

5. learn zz method before it's too late ( http://cube.crider.co.uk/ )

6. profit. :)

k bye
 
I was about to shoot myself, I thought I wrote hooker instead of hooked...

Thank you :)
 
Welcome!!!
Abd you should never start experimenting with 2 methods... serriously, its hard too choose which one some times.
I learned basic cfop, swtiched to roux and got sub30, now im sub20 with both, but i keep wandering between roux and cfop.
Pick one and use that. personal experience...
I still can't decide.....
 
I tried to learn ZB after i learned the beginners method :p

Since you are a "fresh cuber" you should really experiment with different methods/cubes/algorithms etc.
welcome to the community :)
