Thank you for pointing out the medical issue advantage to Roux. I'm 49, and have some issues with arthritis and diabetic neuropathy that prevent me from being "fast" with finger tricks and wrist movements with speedsolving. I started with beginner and began learning CFOP, but recently switched to Roux, and am now learning that method, and find that I prefer it in many ways over CFOP.

@danpanoke223 4 года назад

As a roux solver I think that other roux solvers, should at least learn CFOP (not that I have learnt much yet) and CFOP solvers should learn basic roux. It teaches you so many unique ways that you can pair/insert things that may not always be efficient, but sometimes will be. Some of my best few roux solves have been with CFOP pairing, and my best CFOP solves have used roux-styled pair insertions. Even if you only learn 'how' to solve with the other method and stop at that, it will be beneficial. (It's 4am, so please ignore terrible grammar/spelling etc, too tired to proofread)

that is still way more than cfop. cfop only requires M moves if u get an EPLL(pll where corners are solved, and edges are not solved). the probability of solved corners is 12/72. probability of epll is 11/72(subtracted 1/72 from 12/72 since there is 1/72 chance of pll skips). even those plls can be solved with R and U moves.(though, M move h and z perms are more efficient)

@JPerm 4 года назад

Some good points I've read: - *ZZ EOCross is better than EOLine for regrips and blind spots.* I still think it compares poorly to CFOP and Roux in the other points already discussed in the video. Even though it seems like "do some moves then do a better version of CFOP", look ahead is still hindered. Inspecting cross+1pair in CFOP is similar to inspecting EO+cross in ZZ, meaning you still solve 6 vs 4 pieces and remove a blind area by doing CFOP. - *Roux M turns are not that bad on big cubes.* I accept that I may have been wrong. Please forgive me for switching to a new argument: I don't believe that is a great moveset on big cubes as Rw is similar to L. Frequently switching between R and L (Rw) is slower on big cubes. Also this thing about regrips: - *Starting with r2' for the Roux regrip example reduces it to 0 regrips.* No it does not. You start and end out of home grip, meaning that there are 0 regrips mid-alg, but usually 2 and possibly 1 regrip instead if you're lucky. *So if you used that exact alg in a solve, chances are you'll add 2 regrips to your solve. Therefore it has 2 regrips.* This is the same reason why OLL algs are not regripless unless you start and end in home grip.

@bensilashi8262 4 года назад

@@urban9917 Joining the upper comment - Full PLL is great and relatively easy to do and def. can cut your times a little. F2L efficiency WILL get your times drastically lower, and it's the one thing that is consistent in all 'how to sub x' vids. Also the "longest" part of the solve objectively. If you like learning algs you can also slowly pick up more easy OLLs. If you know full PLL your hands will already know some of the algs already, so getting those easier ones out of the way shouldn't be a problem.

@samueltaylor6421 4 года назад

As a Rouxer who's started to dabble in Megaminx: even though the Megaminx steps before the last layer look a lot like cross-F2L+, it's still blockbuilding, which Roux solvers are just as good at. Even petrus, for that matter (even though like you said, we don't talk about Petrus). This was a cool video though! Thanks!

@asr2009 Год назад

petrus isnt as terrible as potrayed in the video i think. not that i use it, but it is still pretty fast.

@shiv3rcubesolver664 2 года назад

the way roux avoids regrips at higher levels during second block is by either heavily influencing or completely solving DR during First block, so that you get the same ergonomic potential as CFOP.

@tannerboos2268 Год назад

Just wanted to point out that ZZ look ahead is improved by edge orientation. For example the BU sticker can’t be white or yellow so if UB is green you know it’s a f2l piece. This effectively reduces the possibility for edge pieces by a factor of 128 (2^7) when compared to cfop

@Herbert. 4 года назад

I would very much argue from the perspective of actually learning a method. CFOP is very easy to learn gradually coming from the beginner method. It becomes very alg intensive though, which can be a major drawback for many people. Roux is extremely intuition-based, the only alg sets it requires is CMLL (42 algs). The rest is purely intuitive. You can also break that down to 9 algs if you do it two-look. That's what I find a really important factor in Roux. I personally use CFOP and average just under 15s, but recently tried learning Roux and got down to a low 20 average after a month of occasional practice. Roux definitely has an incredible potential, especially building first two blocks becomes ridiculously efficient once you are familiar enough with it. So, while I agree with everything you stated in your comparison, I'd factor in heavily the learning process. Also, ZZ sucks

@nathanaelmorgan8604 4 года назад

I agree, and that is why I use roux

@octogintillion 4 года назад

But I think this video, especially the last part of it, was geared toward what are the differences at high level, which is where the different methods really matter. Almost all actual methods can be used to get sub-30, but after that which method you use becomes more important. And if you are serous about speedcubing, like getting sub-15 or faster, learning more algs shouldn't be that big of an issue.

@owensmith2629 4 года назад

I want to say things about ZZ. I switched from cfop to ZZ, yes you heard me, switched when I was like sub 19 and I switched. 1 inspection. ZZ is basically all about inspection now yes this can be tough to plan a whole cross as well as doing EO but it is well worth it. You have to practice a lot to be able to do this (I myself have not even gotten it down.) in fact it is very similar to one looking a 2x2 solve. There is a little bit more required for EOCross but it is very similar. 2 ZBLL. Now the reason I switched to ZZ is because I was planning on learning ZB when I was using cfop. So I asked around for tips. People said I should find a way to orient edges during the cfop solve (which would end up being like Petrus) instead of learning ZBLS. One person mentioned how I could switch to ZZ so that my edges would be oriented and I would not have to worry about the EO triggers or ZBLS. ZZ is also mainly used for ZBLL. Many ZZ solvers strive to learn full ZBLL. 3 the move set. The move set for ZZ is much better than cfop because it has no rotations. Now I know that you mentioned the ZZ cross eliminates R2 and L2 but I am reinforcing that. Again you one look a 2x2 solve. EOCross is very similar to that. Therefore the better you are at 2x2 there is a chance that you can have good ZZ capability. So the ergonomics are much better for ZZ than cfop. 4 OH. Now ZZ is pretty good for oh (roux is still the best though) because it requires no F moves after EO which can be very hard with one handed (And if your last layer uses F moves). Also Eoline can actually be better for OH because R2 and L2 are really easy moves to do. That is my opinion on this matter (your still an awesome Cuber J Perm) I just feel like ZZ is underestimated. It has a lot of capability for every type of solving. Another thing about ZZ on big cubes. The person who told me I should switch to ZZ invented a method called 4Z4. It’s kinda hard to explain so I would recommend going on the speedsolving wiki.

@papasmurfcubes2616 4 года назад

That was probably me. I would say that yau>4z4 but yau>any other 4x4 method (except for maybe LEOR on 4x4, but it's weird). But I agree, it has a lot of capability in all types of solving.

ZZ EO-Cross is slightly better than CFOP. Leo Borromeo did a 3.75 second solve technically using ZZ eo Cross and no one noticed, the only thing, he skipped EO, and EO is like 4-6 moves, so ZZ will get you insane times, but no one good at cubing in the cummunity has tried it because CFOP is way easier than ZZ

@lucakukuk628 4 года назад

I'm personally a Roux solver mainly because I don't like using algorithms. Additionally, M moves are really comfortable for me, and it just always felt better for me using my brain while solving. I've been able to get sub 15 a few solves with Roux after learning only two of the CMLL sets. Still working on that, but I also need to work on pausing. Overall, I agree it comes down to preference. One of the arguments I think you forgot to point out is the less the cube is actually solved the more freedom you have to manipulate the pieces efficiently and ergonomically. I've seen some really great Roux solvers who can do this. However, if you're not one with a logical or analytical mind then this isn't for you. That's my added point tho.

Also one important note why I believe Roux is superior in one handed is during LSE, both hands are basically stationary, with your fingers doing all the work. You place one hand at the bottom for M moves and one at the top for U moves. With table abuse, it's as if you have both of your hands at the cube. Plus, with the "slow" nature of OH solving, the intuitive method and less total moves really shines.

@kaushalsuvarna5156 Год назад

As someone who has no time to learn so many algorithms and is never going sub 10, I like the intuitiveness of Roux, I feel like I'm actually solving it rather than just sitting there like a machine Also there's something very satisfying about the freedom of the middle layer

I thought I was the creator of the method, but I realized that it was created 10 years before I came up with the idea. It has the following steps: Cross F2L-1 COLS(CO+LS) - 1049 algs CPELL(COALL; 1LLL set with CO done) - 157 algs 1206 algs total. Not sure how good this method is, this is a variant from ZZ-C but using CFOP and using every single LS case. If this gets flagged for advertisement, sorry for posting this.

I love how you casually "speed"solve using each methods like you're a natural CFOPers/Rouxxers/ZZers. I know that's an enormous incredible feat because I have tried, using my non natural method (my base was LBL and CFOP). I did tried Petrus but ended up building block using F2L and half baked CFOP. damn. It's the paradigm that hinders you to think as Petrussian or Rouxian.

Hey Jperm, please do another video on this since ZZ has changed and actually has fewer blind spots then CFOP so better look ahead and the ergonomics have been improved. Not only that but you don’t have to regrip at all during F2L so that’s also better. This is because we do EO cross now instead of EO line.

@abendregen5211 3 года назад

Ok so im writing this long comment because up until a few days ago i shared you opinion, but after looking a bit into ZZ speedsolving, i've learnt that you made a very big "mistake" that seriously undermines ZZ's score in the later parts of the comparison. It all comes down to EOCross (EO + Cross). It is superior to EOLine in every conceivable way, except maybe for the fact that it is harder to plan (advanced ZZ solvers do this no problem). If you do EOCross you are basically doing a "reduced" version of CFOP. I say reduced because EO fixes all the edges making F2L lookahead miles easier and reduces the Last Layer to at least a ZBLL (if you dont wanna learn ZBLL there are other ways that are still a lot faster than OLL + PLL) where all edges are permuted. EOCross basically addresses every problem with ZZ vs CFOP: - Pieces Solved: EOCross solves 4 pieces, just like Cross on CFOP. - Blind spots: EOCross haves the same blind spots as CFOP, but since the edges are already oriented lookahead is even easier. - Regrips: Same principle as CFOP: if you bring a cross piece up, it has to go back down so regrips are virtually the same as CFOP. This, combined with the low movecount, amazing moveset and the fact that there are no cube rotations, makes ZZ the best method in my opinion. The only downside is that it is very inspection dependent and EOCross is kinda unintuitive for beginners or newbies at ZZ. Also, since they're very similar in most places you can switch between them very easily. In conclusion, ZZ is very underrated, and most people don't see how good it actually is. ZZ (with EOCross) is basically reduced CFOP with easier cases and no cube rotations and it saddens me how it isn't used more. I hope people will see that ZZ is *at least* as good as CFOP, if not even better.

@collinschmidt5328 4 года назад

Crazy, I just saw the Jayden McNeill video about this the other day. (The one where he says ZZ is bad). However, I wonder how this comparison could be different for ZZ-CT? It uses more or less intuitive OLS without the last slot corner, and then uses an expanded PLL set to solve from there. The steps are called TSLE (Trant style last slot) and TTLL (Trant-Thompson last layer). TSLE is mostly intuitive and always 2gen, and TTLL just uses PLL-style recognition. This makes last layer a lot better without adding a crazy amount of algorithms (just 72!). Ultimately, ZZCT retains ZZ's low movecount and doesn't effect F2L very much, but TLSE/TTLL is a lot better than OLL/PLL for ergonomics, which could make it worthy of Big Three status. I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts or corrections, as I only really learned about ZZCT an hour or so ago.

@mattevans1643 4 года назад

Once you can solve a 5x5 a 17x17 is just as easy. Just hours worth of moves that turns into wasted time. The reason i say 5x5 is because it's not the same as a 4x4. 4x4 has this thing where the centers can be the wrong centers, and you don't find out until the last layer. What i mean by that, is although all 4 centers are the same color, two or more of them can be rotated the wrong way, yet still be in the "correct" position. 5x5 is somewhat similar but there are 3 edges instead of 2 so something else happens. And after 5x5 you run into the same problems in all of the bigger cubes. But none of them get any harder after that. I stopped at 5x5 because there is nothing new to learn after that, just time wasting.

@mattevans1643 4 года назад

I know pretty much the basics of all the methods, and don't hold myself to a single method. My preferred method is roux, because of the low move count. But i'm much faster using F2L. Sometimes during a roux solve i will switch to F2L if the situation is more appropriate. Alot of the times in Roux you can get your self an easy ELL case or a very simple PLL case. It all depends on your ability to think outside the box. Roux users will swear to never do PLL, but if i can set up a U-Perm during CMLL, i'm doing the U-Perm, and not LSE.

Something that I think a lot of people don't realize is, eventhough the freedom or Roux makes it so more of the solutions require regrips, that same freedom also makes it so there are more ways to solve each case and it's very common to be able to change the way you do it in a way that avoids regrips and doesn't sacrifice efficiency. That's also how Lau was averaging 3 regrips a solve back in the day.
