Brute force should never be underestimated when time is of the essence.
why is cfop "the best method"

It’s a good method in general but roux or another lower movecount method probably has greater potential. At the moment though for big cubes redux I believe cfop is the best method.

3.2 seconds, I got XXcross and LL skip.

1. Don’t you use roux?
2. You average 35
3. Don’t try to pull a fast one on the cubing community, people here are actually intelligent.

I used to do CFOP and averaged about 20 seconds. I saw that I could do a 2x2x3 block on inspection and I got a random LL skip.

Not even going to argue. This is one of my biggest pet peeves with the cubing community, so many 11 year olds telling people online how they got a sub 5 (or in this case sub 4) solve with the generic XCross of some sort and an easy LL with a skip of some sort

Changed my PBs.
It's not completely out of the question (this probably happens with like 1 in 10^7 probability—low but not negligibly so), but this is why caring about singles is stupid. It's like bragging that you won the lottery: congratulations on being lucky, something that required practically zero skill on your part!

3x3 singles are not stupid.o_O It's extremely hard to get UWR for world class cubers even with LL skip. It was just him faking and not providing any proof of actually getting a 3.2 solve.

I personally think SSC is a great method, but Roux is probably the best, but my main method is finally (I've been switching methods for AGES, like 9 months) SSC just because I really enjoy the solves on it, and the movecount is really low. Would like to say
I'VE NEVER GOT LUCKY IN MY LIFE for singles, not even a UWR or even close, for example
3x3 average 18.89
3x3 single 16.77
2x2 average 3.4
2x2 single 1.01 not even sub 1

Side note: Forget that 3.2 , I removed it.End of argument

There's a bunch of OH scrambles that were extremely lucky
(Accomplishment thread pg 3338)
I got a new pb using those scrambles, but would they count if I weren't doing OH since they were OH scrambles.

no, you have to use your own scramble, once

Do LSE as <R,E>
I think Roux is viable for Feet, but has a much higher learning curve so I just use CFOP.

A high learning curve is a silly reason to choose Cfop in my opinion. And I don't even think it's much harder

cfop is great

It's definitely much easier to get fast at feet with CFOP than Roux, and I'm not even sure if Roux can be as fast.

@1973486 has some decent (~60) roux feet solves iirc
alex has like a 1:28 on his channel
