WHAT A PRO ROUX SPEEDCUBER SEES WHEN HE SOLVES THE RUBIK's CUBE

[@tracydubois9034]

I think If feliks or Lucas learned this we might have pretty interesting records

[@criticalcubing]

I am learning this haha

[@tracydubois9034]

CriticalCubing LOL

[@vasylmusic]

WHAT A PRO ROUX SPEEDCUBER SEES WHEN HE SOLVES THE RUBIK's CUBE Me: A Rubik's cube.

[@bencepinter6176]

damn.... fcku you

[@dripsval6212]

I see a speed cube

[@jasminedaz2796]

Kian's solves and this vid basically inspired me to switch to Roux

[@criticalcubing]

Something out of the ordinary. Share it on your social media :)

[@cubesolvescubesolves4055]

yo critticle, can we be friends? Please? I dont have any cubing friends.

[@sacredcuber9875]

+Cube Solves Cube Solves lol im ur friend

[@Rikri]

+CSCS Go to a competition.

[@OlivierVos]

CriticalCubing Good video! I'm very intrested in Roux. I think it can be much faster than CFOP, but unfortunatly it's not being developed as much as CFOP..... Either way, I think I'm going to learn Roux, just to see how it goes.

[@drewjohnson7602]

watched the video this morning, and now a few hours later I can solve roux.... thanks for inspiring me to solve roux

[@criticalcubing]

^_^ Thanks for watching!

[@drqn3820]

your telling me that a rouxer sees texts in front of his face

[@ayyayy5847]

Now this. This is a legendary comment

[@Goo_Gle.]

Yes, yes he does

[@joaomenegalebarbi1586]

This was great. I wish there was one for every method so a begginer can choose better

[@a__f45yay72]

Same laptop setup as Kian, feeling uneasy lol!😆

[@wasifhaider6015]

THNX MY FIRST SUB 30 IN ROUX (26.83) STILL ITS NOOBBBB BUT I PRACTICED ONLY 2 WEAKS THNXXXXXX

[@Kazoeru]

HUMAN English please, most of us don't talk like that.

[@gp3665]

Lol

[@rajeshramanujamr]

Sugarspyke don't be like that

[@JavierPelaz]

what are your times 2 years later? I switched from 14 sec average on cfop to roux and 3 days after im on 35 sec average roux xddddd

[@VepiumOfficial]

Lol I got a sub 30 4 days after learning roux

[@AtharvGoel]

Very great editing man! Must have taken a lot of effort. Very good job on that. Kian looks really fast. How come i didn't know him before :O I also really like the fact you are promoting Roux method. Its really underrated. I tried switching to it once a few weeks ago but ended up switching back to cfop because of frustration :p I might consider switching again, but i need motivation!

[@criticalcubing]

Kian and GuRoux are the fast Rouxers I know. Kian is averaging 7.5 and GuRoux is sub 8. Roux is good. I used it for a while but because of my CFOP oriented mindset, I couldn't get that efficiency with Roux.

[@AtharvGoel]

+CriticalCubing Exactly same here. With cfop i feel like improvement speed is a bit slower than Roux. I know someone who got sub 10 with roux in just about 3 months

[@AtharvGoel]

+CriticalCubing GuRoux doesnt look to be sub 8. He uploaded an 8.97 avg5 a few days ago and his channel about page says he is only sub 10

[@criticalcubing]

Something is wrong. He uploaded sub 8 averages like 10 months ago. He probably didn't update his channel page. Nontheless, he is another fast rouxer I know.

[@origamikatakana]

+CriticalCubing Doesn't Kaijun Lin use Roux?

[@marctang3802]

When I clicked on the video, I instantly thought of Krazyman50 GD Players will get this

[@nexden7096]

Marc Tang can relate

[@yugimuto5297]

Marc Tang lmao

[@sujatahota6147]

Falling up

[@vladd.gabriell]

Falling up

[@psychogenesis6755]

Geometry dash?

[@RustyRayWay]

I see roux having more potential, most roux solvers have been cubing 2> years and some of our best CFOP solvers been solving 5+ years, and since they are both sub 6 solvers most of time, people could one day get sub 4 solves, I am not a roux silver myself but trying too learn

[@wallbant]

This made me want to learn roux. thanks ;)

[@Kian_Mansour]

rip

[@wallbant]

Well it worked

[@varrooliver2971]

+PenguinsDontFly lol

[@reinakagurazaka1527]

Do you have any tips for blockbuilding? I can't seem to do it very well

[@criticalcubing]

Hmm I learned it by looking at walkthrough solves, and practicing with cube grass block trainer.

[@johnlewis1498]

awesome man!!!

[@TrentonCuzick]

Is The Cube You Are Using Is A ThunderClap V1?

[@cheeyeemin9662]

Can you give some tips on roux for example how you know bad edges at the D layer

[@chocomint8261]

Chee Yee Min how many bad edges are on top, and if the DF sticker is white or not, bad edges are always even number, 2 4 or 6, never 1 3 or 5

[@zorm_]

wow now I think solving roux looks kinda more impressive than fridrich

[@hianghaochan9639]

i mastered CFOP a month ago, and i saw this =_= wtf is this world

[@navrajdhillon2419]

I'm already sub 7 (6.91) I only partied for a month thanks roux

[@TheGoDoT96]

Nice video, very well explained, amazing solve! Like!

[@TheScienceGuy10]

Can you make a tutorial? Or do you know any?

[@criticalcubing]

I will be making a tutorial once I get some time. Its will be all in one, ultimate tutorial :D

[@superpocketsummoner]

CriticalCubing please make it soon

[@ECuber]

imo the cfop one was cooler, but this explains better

[@criticalcubing]

Yeah, didn't do much effects stuff in this

[@ECuber]

CriticalCubing still, I now understand roux! :D

[@criticalcubing]

ECuber That was the intention, understanding how Roux works :D

[@bhawanasingh8205]

Which is faster between roux,cfop and zz

[@nicolassarazin2311]

Bhawana Singh I have one request: some comparing methods, stop comparing cubers, you can be sub 10 with LBL, you can be sub 5 with LBL + ZBLL ,so efficiency and tps is the most important thing, not asking which method is faster

[@cubergt1464]

is this faster than cfop?

[@TheCheaterMinecraft]

What is the stronger champ I need to know, there must be one with 100% winrate and no skill needed at all ? ... We can't know if it's faster or not, it's just about practice, average turns in solve is almost the same I believe from what I saw years ago so... your question is actually dumb

[@the6sides]

It should be. It uses fewer moves than CFOP, just no very many people learn it, and other people (Like me) are stick in the muds because we like CFOP. But if someone were to practice Roux enough to the point where they have Feliks's TPS, they would average 5 seconds. So essentially, it could become faster than CFOP.

[@criticalcubing]

If 2 cubers, both are turning at 8 TPS and not pausing in their solves, then Roux will get faster times than CFOP because of its efficiency and less no of algs. However, CFOP has more LL varients, and someone who uses ZB or something like that will get similar or faster time, because CFOP is just algs, and not much intuition. The thing I like about Roux is the less no of algs, and the intuitiveness that it give me. Also, using Roux, you don't have to turn fast to get fast times. GuRoux got a 6.1x solve turning at 6TPS. Nonetheless, CFOP and Roux get similar times, so whatever method you use, your times will be similar.

[@SereneAryal]

+CriticalCubing What is your normal TPS ??

[@criticalcubing]

I can do 7 TPS but generally I hover around 6 TPS I believe.

[@goopy7962]

I dont know what to learn... Cfop or Roux?

[@PoKeKidMPK1]

oy thats pretty nuts

[@atharvaokhade5225]

Critical cuber have u ever been for a competition with this speed

[@DamianS78]

Clashers Forever this is kian mansour

[@RustyRayWay]

Is it bad that I know only cfop and like a beginners version of roux?

[@ianoort7247]

No because i only know cfop so and i am planning to keep it that way unless i get sub 20

[@Kinjutsuu]

Well the CFOP video was better, because it shows the average solve without a skip. Bringing in another solve ruins it a bit

[@EolicoJM]

I do 1min to 40 secs.... well I'm not so far away, great vid

[@ajayvs4919]

any ideas of doing this on cfop?

[@criticalcubing]

Hmm, blocks can be helpful for building X crosses. Apart from that, Roux is entirely different.

[@ajayvs4919]

+CriticalCubing i meant doing a video on " what a pro looks while doing cfop"

[@criticalcubing]

Clash Of supercell Ah, sure. Will do that in the near future then :)

[@elijahelizondo256]

Dood just saying, but shout out to pitas because this idea cane from him

[@criticalcubing]

sure. Adding it now then.

[@SimosGlenGamingandmore]

Cool vid, but I would like to point out that you got a cmll skip. Just saying. Or at least that's what I saw

[@cocbuilds]

So roux but like, super fast. Take notes.

[@pezpeculiar9557]

Good to see more color neutral Roux solvers

[@pezpeculiar9557]

and holy crap that scramble is easy for Roux

[@Kian_Mansour]

+wowitsbryce maybe thats why its a 5 second solve ;)

[@AtharvGoel]

+wowitsbryce It wasn't even colour neutral. He did the blocks on white...

[@Kian_Mansour]

Most fast rouxers only do blocks with white or yellow on bottom.

[@criticalcubing]

White/Yellow on bottom with any y color like red green orange blue isn't stupid at all. You have 8 options to choose from, 4 each. If you became fully CN with Roux, then you would have 24 blocks to chose from and you won't be able to inspect properly in those 15 seconds. 8 blocks is more than enough.

[@peripateticguy55]

That’s almost world record fast.

[@jayeshjayanth208]

now i wanna learn roux!

[@Fadilanse]

god I have been looking for this kind of vid for ages

[@stubbscubing9002]

Ayy it's Kian

[@arpansharma2998]

Nice video! Having a give away anytime soon? :P

[@hugodhia5707]

This video reminds me of KrazyMan50!!

[@dat1pengu1n]

his name is now krmal (on his yt it's krmal but on the about section it will say "(formerly krazyman50)" )

[@benllvfroggo]

Should I switch to roux ? I average 10-12

[@benllvfroggo]

The reason why I say that is Maxwell on Facebook said he rarely pauses when using roux

[@AtharvGoel]

i know this is late but DO IT!

[@hollosimartin]

Why this video better for learn this than the 20min tutorial? XD

[@subscriberswithvidchallangeyar]

Normal people see a cube Pro rouxer also see's a cube

[@bhawanasingh8205]

When I searched in Google it showed cfop then roux etc. ..

[@littlebear4264]

We have same cube

[@johnybrug5406]

is this not just f2l without doing a cross?

[@lordwalterebenyzrbautista204]

No. With blockbuilding, you are not limited since you don't have to worry about ruining anything. For your first block, you can solve it in any way you want, and the second block can be solved using L, M, U, and R moves without having to worry about even touching the first block. Then you orient and permutate the upper corners (i.e. if your bottom is white, you're doing this step with yellow corners). Just as a reminder, your center can be anywhere, so if you're doing this step, it's ok if you have some other color as your center since fixing it won't affect the corners. After that, you do an EO, and then you solve the edges intuitively.

[@honorofkings6166]

what name for this formula?

[@criticalcubing]

Roux

[@honorofkings6166]

+CriticalCubing thanks,you like a God :D

[@criticalcubing]

Why the pause at 2:31

[@RedJonathon719]

CFOP is like a septillion times easier though, just saying

[@S1neWav_]

ehh i don't like cfop at all

[@BarryPlaysGames]

I am a cfop solver but roux looks easier

[@S1neWav_]

DividedCashew i like roux or zz better honestly, i have a strong dislike for CFOP

[@S1neWav_]

DividedCashew i like roux or zz better honestly, i have a strong dislike for CFOP

[@aaronschupp1509]

+Ethan D. zz has blockbuilding as f2l not like CFOP and it has lower move count. yes it is a spin off of CFOP but rotationless f2l and lower movecount are much better than CFOP

[@VepiumOfficial]

Are you color neutral?

[@ChrisChoi123]

wtf u average 7.6 with roux?

[@criticalcubing]

He averages sub 7 with Roux. Has a 6.8 ao1000

[@34kubes80]

Himanshu Singh he is kian mansour but critical cubing use his footage

[@sujatahota6147]

Falling up!! GD fans understand

[@thedeaner3117]

I have a hunch about why everyone uses cfop. 1. Most beginner's methods are similar in some ways 2. Highly algorithmic 3. Easy recognition 4. Mostly 2 gen. Easy fingertricks. Roux: 1. Not many similar beginner's methods 2. Highly intuitive (exception of cmll) 3. Harder recognition + M U based instead of 2 gen. Harder to fingertrick.

[@topfive8415]

the main reason, FAST USSEERSS USSE CFFOOP ROUX IS NOTT A GGOOD METHOD OR MORE PEOPLE WOULDVEEE USED ITTT!!!!!!!!!!

[@DialektLp]

I have something about the last thing the recognition may seem harder because you hide more useful pieces in the back but this is less of a problem with lookahead + recognition for both CMLL and LSE is really fast M-U is also 2-Gen and even easier to fingertrick

[@lenardegypto727]

No dude, Roux is actually a good method. It's just that more speedcubers are using CFOP and other people think that CFOP is better because it is overused.

[@usdking4069]

Lol cfor users have more attention power

[@nithishkumar2395]

Face reveal will get you more veiws

[@criticalcubing]

I did it already xD

[@spacevspitch4028]

Roux is like the hipster of speedsolving. It's "cool" cuz it's not CFOP.

[@vish3670]

This solve was 8 times faster than my average roux solve.

[@RedCnMn]

Not bad. I switched from 1 minute average cfop to roux and after three days I am sub 2 min now with roux. In a couple weeks I should pick up some more muscle memory and get some look ahead habits down. So I'll get sub 1 min quickly. :3 I love roux

[@Mohit_Lulla]

First

[@alira7296]

nobody cares

[@SamuelBairdCubing]

If you don't have time to watch all of it then I will sum it up for you: Bad speedsolving times
