Thanks for featuring me on your channel!

My favorite part is when he does the high pitched voice.

Who found critical cubing's story a bit poetic but extremely awesome? Awesome video bro! Quality was awesome!

Block-building is a nightmare when you start roux

Nice video Critical Cubing! Love the style :)

A love story between Critical Cubing and Roux with CFOP making the love triangle

I agree with all of this, in five days I was better at roux than 3 weeks of using cfop. Also I think roux is a lot more fun than cfop, because there's more intuitive parts, and it's cool to just watch it change when doing lse

because of you. I have switched it over roux method and your LSE recogition video is also nice I learned it very quickly.

Thanks for putting the subtitles on your video. Appreciate it! :D

Can't wait for your setup tour

This video was really well edited dude. Good job.

Im on the stage where you turned a blind eye to roux, I might start practicing it more because of this video, thanks!

i can solve with roux, but the way i do first block is really bad, i just can't do it right or efficiently, i'm glad you were able to find the best method suited to you! i could probably get better at it if i wanted, i really like M moves and know how to solve the corners in one look, but just recently i've got a sub 10 average of 5, so as of now i'm gonna keep up the momentum. best of luck with the future man!

GREAT VIDEO! 💖💖

I was sub--20 but i quit cubing cause i hated learning Algs for CFOP. you're inspiring me to follow it again :D

I've switched from CFOP to Roux some months ago, and some days ago I finished to learn all the algorithms of Roux, which makes me pretty happy and proud of myself. I just wanna let ya know that u're my inspiration, hugs from Brazil!!! nice video

Your story instantly made me subscribe and like the video.

Great video. I like your openness and generally like the reasons you have shared. In addition to CFOP, I learned corners first and like the increased efficiency. I have looked into Roux, but I seem to have trouble with the intuitive approach. Perhaps I will learn a lot from tutorials you put out there, as you enjoy using Roux. Thanks.

Love this video! Man, I wanna learn Roux and love all those all those M slices. Sadly I am great at learning algorithms but suck horribly and block building or doing anything intuitively.

Wait a minute. The LSE method you showed in your tutorial was your method for LSE? It incredible how efficient and intuitive it is. It is also beginner friendly. I switched from CFOP to Roux last week and I am now averaging under a minute, and I am glad I switched because Roux is more fun to use than CFOP.

Critical one of my fav cubing channels now

Cool video!

This video motivates me Thanks ❤

yus I'm glad you switched cause I need help with getting fast with roux, my biggest issue is tracking things on the b and d layer

Come back next year, when I switch from roux to petrus!

i have been wondering if i should switch to roux and this video has helped a bit in my decision, i don't know yet if i'm going to switch but i will learn roux and see if i like it more or less than CFOP

The stickerless cube looks so beautiful...

Have you read Mahabharata or Bhagavad Gita? I also like cubing and would like to get into a little more speed cubing. I found this interesting. I think I'm going to go the roux route, thanks bredren.

I’m also thinking if crop of roux is better. I think I am going to try roux method. Thanks for inspiring me

great work bro . Even I live in India though I use cfop and average around 25. We'll surely meet someday

Why I Switched From Beginners Method To Petrus: My Good Friend We'll Just Call Him Ru, He Was The Fastest Cuber In The Class. He Used Roux. My Other Friend We'll Call Him John, He Was The Second Fastest. He Used ZZ So I Was Inspired To Use Petrus So That We Could Confirm Who Was The Fastest. I Obviously Got Second. Still Behind Ru And That Is Why I Use Petrus.

I am currently making the transition ;) and think you should make a video on developing good habits for roux. Maybe discuss or walk through efficient blockbuilding (second block gets me every time for some reason). I consistently get almost identical move counts with CFOP and Roux, which is a problem. Considering that the biggest advantage of roux is efficiency, I think it would be fantastic if you could provide some basic or advanced tips/techniques you have learned or figured out. (i avg around 10 seconds with CFOP and 16 with Roux, so it can be hard to stay motivated but I think it will work out better for me personally)

Interesting. Learning CFOP right now, just working on getting the f2l in my muscle memory kinda. Wonder if I should just learn roux instead of learning all cfop.

You are so fast, have you gone to any competitions?

That's why we have other events so if you get bored of 3x3 you can do 4x4 or bld, oh, 2x2 etc

Hello! I just ordered myself a cube specifically yj mgc v1., Should i learn CFOP ? or I'll just learn roux ? From what i observed in youtube, most of them use cfop. And cubers(pfft i only see 3 of then) in my school use cfop and beginner's method. Should I be unique at some point and use cfop?

RIP MUSCLE MEMORY FOR CFOP

Tbh I will just stick to cfop for now but I will definitely try roux in the future(and maybe some other methods too).

Nice story!

By the way you have to keep the cube down when you start the timer, loved the video

I tried Roux for a bit. While it may be a little bit more fun for me I'm Very slow and it would take me awhile to get to where I am with Cfop. I also don't see myself ever getting bored of cfop or cubing in any sort of near future. TLDR: cfop isn't boring enough for me to get slower for awhile with roux.

Hey man, I've been practicing roux for the past 3 months, and all thanks to your content. Roux is more fun for me too, but blockbuilding is definitely a hurdle. I would just like to ask you about your LSE method, do you orient, do UL UR, and permute, or do orient, bottom line, and U Z H perm?

Criticalcubing can you give some tips on roux?im a cfop user and i want to transfer to roux im sub 15 with cfop and sub 45 with roux.my problem is the block building....

please make a video how to improve bockbuilding in roux

So,you should make a complete video tutorial on roux method.Honestly,I feel most comfortable with you and #jperm for any kinda suggestion or tutorial.Plz,don't disappoint us

what method did you use to solve it?? and can u suggest me the fastest way to do f2l

My first cube was a QiYi Warrior W which o bought from a store, 2 days later my pb was 2 minutes 20 seconds. So, i decided to learn CFOP, but i though It was top much algorithms to learn another method and your video helped me to decide what method i should learn, thx

This is the same mindset i had when i chose to not learn cll because i knew it would be more fun to do ortega

I'm going to learn roux because of this video

did you ever make any roux subsets?

I'm starting with Roux, not with CFOP as others do. I like the intuitiveness and the movements. Even when learning the beginner method, I hated learning the basic algs, so I thought "what more if I learn CFOP?"

Your story Is just like mine!

Can you please make a roux tutorial? 😭 all the other ones I found online are confusing

I'm not interested in speed solving, i'll stick with my 24 second personal best. Because what difference does it make if i solve it any faster. I also never solve the cube the same way twice. I mean if someone asks me if i can do it, i'll do either the simple beginner method, or corners first. But when i'm solving it on my own, i usually just make random pairs all over the cube, and then put them together. I remember one time when this kid in high school would use CFOP, and i asked him to let me play with his cube. He was telling me i'll never solve it the whole time. The entire time i was solving it, it looked like a jumbled mess. And then out of nowhere it was solved. And he just sat there in amazement. He asked what method i did, and i told him there wasn't a method, i just put the pieces where they go. You learn a lot from trying different methods. And you only need a couple algorithms to solve it. Once you learn what the algoritms change, you learn how to change the algorithms as well. For example let's say, you want to change two edges. Obviously you have the edge orient, and the edge swap algorithm, from the beginner method. Well you can alter the algorithms to change unrelated edges, you just have to remember what the extra moves were so you undo them at the end. That takes your cubing ability to an entirely new level. It won't make your times faster, but it will make your brain stronger. What is the point of learning 1000's and algorithms when you really only need 5 or 6?

Liked!

Hey ,how many days to fully learned this method ?

Your story sounds a lot like mine! What website/channel did you use to learn roux? I was trying to learn F2L but after some research Roux sounds like the smarter idea.

I learned cfop because its similar to beginners method Where you make a cross

I also do 3×3 but initial goal is to get a WR,CR or atleast a NR.Now I can't afford expensive cubes or lubes.My cube is not bad but also not as good a valk.Because of this I think that getting a wr of 3×3 single,average with 2 hands,one hand or bld is kinda impossible.So what should I do??I consider doing FMC as it does not require a good,it only requires using your brain.

This was uploaded on my birthday

man, switching from cfop to roux is like being transgender

For the 1% of people that see this I just wish to tell you That God loves you ❤️

which method are you using in this video?????

You should have start learning one handed or blind folded when you were getting bored with CFOP... But again love to see you video :D Reply please...

Every thing has changed except the solve cam ... get a new angle for sloving ... Who else agress ??

I really love roux, the only problem I'm encountering is recognizing parities in big cubes with this method? Is there any big cube roux solvers that can give me suggestions?

Can someone tell me which one is better or easier, roux or cfop

Your video made me wonder if I should switch to the Roux method (I am not a big fan of the look ahead and stuff either), but I am also not a big fan of the M moves on the cube, not because of the move itself, but more because when I try to do it sometimes my hands feel clumsy and I don't know how I would perform (I presume that a lot of M moves are required for Roux) what should I do ?

The one problem I have with Roux is that it does not feel like a progression from the basic layer by layer method like CFOP does. Ergo, Roux would not use any of my knowledge of making the cross or solving in layers. In fact, my knowledge of basic seems more like a hindrance than help when I try solving with the Roux method. Also, who doesn’t feel awesome using Sexy Moves and Sledgehammers?

At 5:03, you said that one can be sub 8 with basic Roux and CMLL. So its possible?

nice story ;)

HELP!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!! HAVING A GAN 356 AIR ULTIMATE BUT PB IS STILL 50 SEC HELP PLEASE CONFUSED THERE WAS A TIME WHEN MY PB WAS 22 SEC PLEASE HELP

Im early : )

More than likely, if you use corners first beginners method you will excel roux if you start of using layer by layer then you will excel cfop. Although I started in lbl I plan learning lse and cmll algs and giving roux a shot for a few months.although I might keep it to test the limits of roux (since cfop has already reached its limit and only way to get wr with cfop is to get x cross then last layer skip etc.) also roux is less moves and less algs than cfop.)

What is the own method of LSE TELL US PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

So just to be clear. Did you quit CFOP for good or will you be switching in and out of methods or using both simultaneously like you used to? It seems a shame to give up CFOP forever, seeing as you you put so much time into it and after all, it is a great method.

Can u make a video on advanced fb and sb

I learned CFOP, then I was like "hey lets learn Roux and other methods"I still prefer CFOP but knox Roux and Petrus I may learn ZZ one day

Buen video aún

my goal is to solve the cube in less than 1 minute... how long does it take to learn this from being a 100% beginner

Ive been cubing for about a year and cant seem to get sub 20 consistently lol

This encouraged me to learn roux. From which tutorial I should learn roux method??

it would be really great if you share your LSE method..most of the new rouxers (like me) cant do this step efficiently..

You are a nice guy

I have my own way of solving the cube and it doesn't have a name. But basically, you solve one color, then you solve the layer under the color, and then the last layer.

I should try the roux method

How did this man hit sub-20 in only 4 months

have you already madr a roux tutorial?

Why was he solving with cfop the whole time??

hmmm my pb is 15:42 with CFOP ,,,,how does it take to get sub 20 using roux ?

I'm averaging like 30s with CFOP. Do you think it will be efficient to shift to Roux now? I hate learning algs.

I use CFOP Roux and a method I invented myself depending the scramble

I am sub 25 CFOP solver. (Without learning full OLL and PLL)

i really want to learn roux but i can't find any tutorials so i will just stick to CFOP

why dont you use both

Whats your LSE method?

Im cubing around 3 years now but i still have an average around 26...

I learnt cmll during learning roux initially

please teach us the method

I average about 45-50 seconds on 3x3 with roux what suggestions do you have for me to get faster
