Should I switch to Roux?

[Nir1213]

Mainly why I dislike Roux and ZZ is I can't do blcokbuilding at all. F2L is in my muscle-memory so much that I can't block build.
That's why I don't use Roux/ZZ/Petrus.

i mean you can use ZB since it has no blockbuilding.

i think you shouldnt, cfop is easier to improve at because of all the resources. whereas roux is a little harder to find tutorials on. i switched to roux when i was sub 25 but then i switched back because it was to hard...


mabye im just lazy.

Same, I learned roux in a day and got sub-40 with it the next day. HOwever, my blockbuilding was terrible and I was doing my blocks in a f2l-ish way. And the good tutorials for roux blocks were kind of hard, and I was lazy.

Switching to Roux is always the right choice

Choosing Roux turned out to be a great cubing decision for me. I started only a couple of years after Gilles Roux first posted his method. At that time it was only me, Kirjava, and a couple of other people using Roux. So resources were scarce. The only one was Gilles' website. While an amazing site, it still required a lot of figuring things out on my own. That self reliance helped me to gain an understanding of blockbuilding and other concepts of the cube. I don't think I would have gained that so easily with CFOP.

There are valid arguments from all sides. Do what you enjoy and you'll find your way.

you are right. Idk WHY people say that roux is not as good as CFOP. They are basically the same speed.

im not talking about big puzzles im talking about 3x3
for puzzles i dont see why roux is bad. https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/roux-on-big-cubes.67334/

Yeah Meyer and Stadler method exists for bigger cubes which are Roux variants.

False.

please stop replying to the thread, I stuck with CFOP for now, and am not even practicing 3x3 that much, I'm learning 3bld with all my time.
