Hello!
I bought my first rubik's cube with magnets three days ago and I totally understand how this can become such an obsession for people, I knew there had to be a lemmy community!
I learned the roux method (at least a simplified version), and I hope to achieve a solve under a minute eventually. Currently I need a minute only for block building lol
Hello @[email protected]
You switch from CFOP to Roux method or you start learning with Roux?
If yes, what made you choose Roux? I'm curious.
Well I learned the beginner solution at first and then learned about the existence of methods like CFOP, Roux, ZZ and the rest. I looked at CFOP first, but I'm really really slow with F2L, and all the algorithms and cases you have to learn look really daunting. Then I found a beginner tutorial for Roux and idk, I like the feel of it and you don't need that many algorithms to get started. Block building gives you a lot of options, for the corners you can make do with sune and jperm (or just memorize 7 OLL cases with the cross), and the rest is pretty straightforward.
Also spinning those Ms gives me my daily dose of seratonin.
😀
Interesting. I have already done a few solves with Roux and I understand what you feel. I find this method more intuitive and easier to grasp.
What's your CFOP best time when you started to learn?
I never completed a CFOP solve, I just got to F2L and then looked at Roux and it seemed more attractive. I need around 2:30 with the beginner's method, and with Roux it varies a lot on how my block building goes, but my fastest was a very lucky 1:36.
Thank you for your feedback.
Have fun :)
Welcome! Which cube did you get?
The first one I found in the shop honestly. It says YongJun on the white center in Mandarin, but I can't tell you much more than that.
