which method should I use?

[Cubing Forever]

You probably are a CFOP user yourself and trying to hide it.

Oh well somebody here doesn't know that I'm a Mehta user and that I have a whole progression thread called "Quest to sub 15 Mehta".

 

[LukasCubes]

I never thought you were.

Yet you learn full ZB and CFCE.

I am no where near full zbll and zbls and i still need 8 more ell to learn full ell and i do know full cll. I already learned 4 algs today planing for more.

 

[hellocubers]

I guess Roux. LSE I just don't understand.

 

[ruffleduck]

I guess Roux. LSE I just don't understand.

I suggest you watch Kian Mansour's tutorial.

 

[hellocubers]

Ok.

I did but I still don't understand.

Nevermind i do.

 

[LBr]

I aint trying to attack you. Yall know me i praise algs more than feliks. I'm just saying I am not simping for cfop. Y'all crazy lol

Also CFCE isn't awful. Its algorithmic, less move count, less algs to learn moves: 54 to 55-60
algs: 71 to 78

CFCE is fewer algs than cfop and is 54 moves, and although m moves are slower for ELL, it is a good method

Definitivamente CFOP por que es uno de los metodos mas completos y rapidos del SpeedCubing , ten en cuenta que tambien tienes que ejecutarlo con rapidez y tambien tiene importancia tu Look Ahead

 

[EvanCuber]

Yeah you should just main CFOP as you can't really go wrong with it. But if you want, you can also practice a method kind of just for fun, and if you get really interested in it, just switch to that method.

 

[Swagrid]

Learn all three and use whichever you enjoy most.

CFCE is really underrated. ELL is faster than PLL on average and CP recog for CLL isn’t hard

 

[hellocubers]

well i'll learn roux first then maybe cfop.

 

[abunickabhi]

You can learn both.

Try to be method neutral for 3x3.

 

[hellocubers]

Alright.

 

[LukasCubes]

I'm method neutral with CFOP, CFCE, Russo, ZB, and Waterman (yes Waterman)

Well not necessarily, it’s one of the fastest and more developed methods, that doesn’t mean they should definitely use it as a main method, Roux is another method that is and can be very fast to use, and it is developed a good amount as well. It would be much more beneficial I believe to try out each new method and find out which one is better rather than just saying that cfop is essentially OO


Translation for; @Flow 3x3 : Bueno, no necesariamente, es uno de los métodos más rápidos y desarrollados, eso no significa que definitivamente deban usarlo como método principal, Roux es otro método que es y puede ser muy rápido de usar, y está muy desarrollado. también. Creo que sería mucho más beneficioso probar cada nuevo método y descubrir cuál es mejor en lugar de simplemente decir que cfop es esencialmente OO

 

[PiKeeper]

I would say that cfop, roux, and zz are equally good. Nautilus is at least close if not on the same level, and mehta, petrus, hk, etc are probably a little worse but still really good. Just try them out and see what you have the most fun with.

 

[Brouxt Force]

You can learn both.

If you want to get to world record speeds, you shouldn't try to be method neutral. However, you should definitely learn more than one method, so you know which one you like best.

 

[Waffles]

Agreeing with what they said, I think this would be my list on what methods are good:

Spoiler: Methods list

CFOP
Roux
ZZ
Mehta
(Decent gap)
Nautilus
Petrus
LEOR
Waterman

I don’t have as much experience with some methods, so if you’re wondering why “MY METHOD IS SO LOW THIS GUY SUCKS HAHA” I may not have tried it to its full extent.

 

[abunickabhi]

If you want to get to world record speeds, you shouldn't try to be method neutral. However, you should definitely learn more than one method, so you know which one you like best.

Yes, learning more methods is only meant for creativity, and not just gaining pure speed.

 

[Nmile7300]

Try lots of methods and see which one(s) you have the most fun using. If you are like most people, you probably won't become world class. So the goal of cubing should be to have fun.
