Yes, I am using the Moyu Weilong magnetic pyra, the standard one (non-maglev)

I started April 2023, so a bit over a year ago :) However I didn’t cube continuously since then, as I also have my studies and other hobbies

@@WobblyCube I started when i was about 10 years old, I was born in 2008 :)), i am sub 10

I did some research after learning beginner’s on what advanced methods there are and how they work, and tried both beginner CFOP and Roux. Personally I just liked Roux a lot, eg. the blockbuilding and M-U-spam are fun to me.

Hahaha slipped the cracks, will fix it later

Yoooo

doesn't work D:

@@bamana8194 nah my problem bro it work on me

Thanks for the tip! Although I personally have no issue with any perceived difficulty.

They are quite different though. CFOP is cross > F2L > OLL > PLL. Whereas Roux is first block > second block > orientation and permutation of the corners of the last layer (CMLL) > last six edges. In other words the order is very different. You could say the first two blocks is 2/5th of the cross and full F2L finished, however blockbuilding is still different. Building blocks is done differently than making and inserting pairs, with both more freedom in moves and in how you make the 2x3 block. Building blocks (in a roux solve) the CFOP F2L way is also very inefficient. Other blockbuilding methods it shares similarities with, more than CFOP, are Petrus and Waterman. Unlike CFOP there are no rotations and the method is heavily reliant on M and r moves. So in the end, very different approaches to solving the cube. Both interesting in their own way :)

Ok

@@WobblyCube First and Second Block is f2l with half a cross. CMLL is OLL but only the Corners. L6E is PLL but edges only. Thats why i say that they are similar. Roux users are also former CFOP users because CFOP teaches you on how to do blockbuilding. I mean, Gillie Roux is a former cfop user. 2 Look CMLL uses JPerms and YPerms etc. Some cases of roux can be done with CFOP algs.

The coming two months I have a tight schedule, and I don’t feel comfortable enough yet to involve other people. Although I do appreciate the offer and would like to rethink my answer in the future

The shower made it relax, loosened it up 😮‍💨

Después aprendí un poco de roux pero lo uso con bases de cfop así que hago como una combinación lol

I did start with LBL, although the version I was taught did include some OLL and PLL algorithms already. Starting with Roux is very fun. You get a lot of freedom in how you solve the cube. As a result you get a good understanding of how the cube works and all the different ways you can things. The added freedom and lack of resources does make it a little harder to learn “the best” way of doing things. But the cubing community is great and helps each other out, so no real issue there. (I can understand your comment due to French, but can’t reply back in Spanish sorry)

Also what inspired you to learn roux?

After the beginner method (mine already had some OLL and PLL algs) I looked into the next steps. I did some research and compared Roux to CFOP. Tried a beginner version of Roux and decided it was more my style

@@WobblyCube thats cool, keep it up!

They are indeed! Next goals are learning 4x4, 5x5 and blind. I know mega too but was still too slow for this comp.

​@@WobblyCube blind is very fun, it is very hard at the start but if you practice very much it is 100% worth it

For 3x3 I use Roux, using 2-look CMLL (CMLL is the alg set for the corners of the last layer). For 2x2 I use Ortega and LBL (beginner) for pyra.

@@WobblyCube That's good! I use CFOP and I'm sub-15. Actually, I never saw someone use the roux method, that's my first time because I was very surprised.

I really want to get one, just saving a little bit first before throwing all my money at new cubes again xD

Just got mine yesterday and I'm loving it (even straight out of the box). Super turning feel and quiet Got 54mm , super for one hand solves

@@littlemissskyhigh9606 cool!!! i got the 55mm spring :)

Thank you! Those are some nice times, I wish you the best with learning 1-look. It is a lot of work but will be very much worth it. Since the competition I managed to get sub-30 with a non-official single of 21.33, but I’m still inconsistent.

@@WobblyCube It takes a long time to get good at this hobby 😅 But if we keep practicing it, we will get better! I also wish you the best with your solves! :D And, heyyyy yesterday i could of sworn that you had 50+ subs, now you have almost 100!!

Yeah I don’t know what happened, I woke up, checked YT and BAM xD

PS 5x5 is my personal favourite event I hope you enjoy the journey too with your new meilong :)

Thank you for your kind words! I haven’t tried the Meilong yet but 5x5 seems like a great event. I’m curious to see how Roux will go on such a big cube, if the M-slices are too cumbersome I might have to challenge myself to learn CFOP this summer just for bigger cubes xD

I went to 7, last one was more than half a year ago... but i tied my 8.86 pr then))

May last Comp was 2nd-3rd of march this year and I got a 6.49 pyraminx average PR and a 13.59 PR 3x3 single and a 3.57 2x2 single

yes, my last one was Leuven Open 2024 👀 i did tried going for a 15s 3x3 avrg but miserably failed ._. other events went well, except megaminx lmao i DNF'd cuz of inspection

I am going to one tomorrow wish me luck

@@CrazyCuber224 I hope your comp is going/went well :)

For my videos published this year I’ve been using Final Cut Pro on iPad. However I have a free trial which will end soon. I plan to give DaVinci Resolve, which is free, a try before deciding to continue with Final Cut or not. For my older videos (nearly a year ago) I used Microsoft Clipchamp which was also free.

Thank you :)

I like roux btw, much more intuitive than CFOP, less algorithms, it's easier to completely avoid rotations while building the first two blocks since you have much more freedom compared to F2L phase where you must preserve the cross as well. However 🤓☝ it's not my main method, let's say I like it but just as a friend... yeah I've just friendzoned a speedcubing method

Hahaha never thought I’d hear a method get friendzoned. I researched both CFOP and Roux and tried beginner versions both before deciding which I wanted to use. I think CFOP is great and easier to grasp as a complete beginner but Roux just fits me better (yay M slices, more efficient but lower TPS, less algorithms).

Great video Really loved it! And I have The Gan 356I From waaay Long ago I don’t really use it that often Cuz I mostly just use my Gan 14 MagLev Buuuut keep up the great work!

Same, (gan iCarry2)

Currently have a GAN iCarry 2, a GAN i3 and a MonsterGo AI. Planning to soon buy a GAN 12 ui and either a MoYu or a QY smartcube, have not yet decided which of those two.
