I used to cube in high school, now I’m slowly getting back to it (hence the creation of this community). I used to use CFOP but recently I got interested in roux and consider it to be my main method (even though I’m still slower with it). My 3x3 main is a moyu GTS 2 (back from highschool, I will upgrade soon) and have a 33s Ao12. I also enjoy blindfolded. Currently I am learning CMLL (started just yesterday). I hope to comeback to this comment in the future and laugh at my Ao12.
No cube rotations during a solve, more freedom when creating blocks (similar phase to F2L in CFOP), you can use the M slice to your advantage during the whole solve, less algs and more intuitive in general.
On the other hand turns can be less fluid and the solve is less algorithmic which hinders the speed.
I’m not good enough at either of the methods to actually say which is better, but I would say it is easier to get fast with CFOP

What are the advantages of roux (over CFOP)?
