I think learning CLL makes 2x2 more fun but it's a skill that doesn't translate to other cubes. It's a commitment to learn all those algorithms and a commitment to maintain them. I learned CLL but I'm a bit torn over whether it was worth the effort.

About half of the CLLs work for other CxLLs.

(depending on which algs you use)

I'm just learning COLL and relearning a couple of Clls. Can be used for Cmll too yay!

Cubicle is the best place for gen3 pro, seeing as lightake are out of stock.

You can ask to borrow someone else's to practise before your round - that's what I did at my first competition.

What the heck is Roux?

I have never heard about it until 3 months ago and now I am curious on what it really is. I could just look it up but why are so many people using this method over Fridrich?

That's answers the first question.

The second question, I guess it comes down to the individual. I found the intuitive nature and block building to be a lot more fun than CFOP, and Alex Lau has shown that top-level Roux users can compete with top-level CFOP users. Which method is better is still an open debate with no good answer, so the consensus is Roux keep up pretty well with CFOP.

What iPad timer does cyoubx use in his videos?

He's not using an iPad. The timer he is using is SpeedCube Timer, which is only on Android (btw, he uses jjtimer on his phone).

I like ChaoTimer for the iPad. There might be better ones out there though.

What sort of tripod is best for making cubing videos? Should I get the big tall ones that are around 4 and half feet or the small flexible ones that can fit on a table(for filming comp solves, like the one Faz uses in his 5x5 WR video). I'm planning on starting a youtube channel like the Cubologist's.

You would need a big tripod if your going for his angle.

This is the best tripod for cubing videos. Tripod

What? I'm not understanding your question...

What? I'm not understanding your question...

Like how many cubes should you take to a comp? How many should you have?(Give me a decent amount of cubes because I'm almost sub 15 but only have 2 3x3s, a 4x4 and a 2x2 all of which died months ago)
