Rubik's cube in 19.74 average with Beginners method

[Skelteon]

what kind of cube are you using??? like company and make. lol my avg. is 21s and i want a cube that can do that o.o

[jrchoco1]

im confused you scrambles look the same

[IllyaMuromets]

now if i could do the cross in the same time it takes u to do the cube i will be happy!

[JostleCubed]

@IllyaMuromets it takes you 20 seconds to do the cross?

[IllyaMuromets]

@JostleCubed nah not anymore. it takes me around 5-7 seconds now. but i wish u could make a 5min tutorial about the finger tricks you use. cuz i cant seem to get it under the minute mark. takes me on avg. 1.10min

[IPwnAllAndLeaveNone]

These fucking idiots won't get it. It's a fucking FOUR LOOK LAST LAYER. Just like other beginner methods. OMAGAWD, HE DID A SLICE TURN. ...So? It's just a different alg. And a slice turn is the same as two turns and a cube rotation. And you guys call yourselves speedcubers...

[michaelfivez]

@IPwnAllAndLeaveNone For this 4 Look last layer you need to learn 16 algorithms, thats's not really for beginners

[thepuzzlesolver1]

i saw middle layer turns, its not the beginner method....

[watthefrack02]

im gonna stay on the bginner method until i can get under 1 min but im stuck at around 1:15

[D4rkFang]

@watthefrack02 I've done with beginner method in 58 secs. Just practice your cross, aim for under 5 seconds, then practice your algorithms and recognition and you'll get 1 min or less soon :)

[watthefrack02]

@D4rkFang haha i already got to averageing like 55 sec with beginners method and learned friedricks wich i solve in approx. 24 sec. but thanks any way :)

[D4rkFang]

@watthefrack02 nice u should make cubing videos.

[watthefrack02]

@D4rkFang haha i dont have any things worth making videos about

[D4rkFang]

@watthefrack02 lol just post ur solves

[watthefrack02]

@D4rkFang i will when solve in 4 - 10 sec (if) solving in 24 sec isnt worth making videos about and i dont cube that much anymore just every once in a while

[SharonGuitar500]

Lol, I haven't learned the beginner's method completely yet, but I haven't managed to get sub 2 minutes XD This is encouraging, though, I want to get to sub 30, but I don't have time to learn all the Fridrich algorithms.

[G18spray2727]

can you teach me how to do this beginners method?

[talkpremjit]

Hey i recognize you now you are ERIK the 7:08 world champion!!!!!

stop goofing among novices like us and reveal your identity......

[talkpremjit]

Hey genius Please Show Me the algoritms you are using of beginners method .... i am stuck at 1 min 25 secs average novice time.... using beginners method... and you are extremely fast please slow down so that others could understand(or explain doing it) the moves , style practice, patience required for this insane speed of yours using BEGINNERS METHOD!!!!!

[birlibis2juggler]

I'm using full frindrich and I steel average more than that.

[JudashX]

Beginners what?...

[bbryant0620]

On the first two layers it's a complete beginners method, and he's doing 2-Look OLL and 2-Look PLL. Those two can be considered part of "A" beginner's method, because they are not the original Fridrich system which completes the last layer in only 2 looks instead of 4.

And the reality is that there are a number of "Beginner's Methods" most of which are meant to transition into Fridrich. I've seen beginner's methods that insert Corner/Edge pairs.

So, this is a beginner's method, not Fridrich.

[GAM3RRvidz]

I love how people are trying to accuse a formal World record holder that he is a liar :P

[kikasskruger]

i can getn 26 sec w/ biginer method!

[HerrFlaMe]

LoL WTF?!?

[kaosmage2112]

I think any LBL method that isn't utilizing F2L would be considered a beginner's method.

[kikosilva96]

damn, my cube's pieces don't slide like that!

[bryanarby]

beginner method was last layer edges right, then sune/counter sune to get the corners on right place.. and then R' D' R D the shit out of it right?

else i now just hit the "beginners method" after learning 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL

[sundae4jus1]

FOR HOW MUCH TIME DID YOU PRACTICE ?

[bbryant0620]

@sundae4jus1

I doubt he had to practice at all, unless you mean from the time he first got into speedcubing then I don't know.

If I'm not mistaken this is Erik Akkersdijk. He had an insanely fast world record for single 3x3x3. I think it was the 7.08 (unless that was Feliks Zemdegs).

[dslayer415]

So, it's the beginner's method with 2-look OLL and 2-Look PLL... That can only be considered the beginner's method by the hairs of your chinny chin chin?

[wlalngxD]

@dslayer415 Still, it's hard to do because you dont solve the f2l by pair. you solve it corners first then you do the edges ( imagine that! it wastes precious time!)

[dslayer415]

@wlalngxD I was simply stating that this could easily be considered an intermediate method, just because of 2-look oll and 2-look pll, when oll and pll is usually solved in more than four algorithms using a true "beginner's method" even if you solve F2L less efficiently

[albatross661]

you used PLL on your first one

[Astrokillernaut]

well the thing is you oriented the top with 2 look oll, cuz i saw you use algorithms for each case. remember for each look its only 1 algorithm :)

[davidskonto2]

which cube do u use? mine isnt even capable of doing thos bad ass M turns

[davidskonto2]

i see the CFOP as the beginner method, but 4LL and cfop last layer isnt THAT big time difference.

[oncemarkonce]

yes, this is begginer's method.. I understand completely..

[frk17]

@oncemarkonce it was to show what times can be achieved with a simple method, not what the method is

[oncemarkonce]

@frk17 yes, i understand completely.. I just want to explain to those who are debating the method.. but my english is not good enough..

[a510592]

I don't think it's beginners method. It is 2-look without f2l. If he did f2l fridrichs way it would be complete 2-look oll and pll. Beginners method is different and takes more time.

[keenan150]

... 2 look oll pll? o.o Does that qualify as beginner's? -.-

[RushHourable]

@ alldatscool and manandblack2 thats beginners method makind one Layer making the second layer and the 4-look last layer its the same method with which i startd its not pogobats noob method but one noob method

but no i'm using fridrich and have an average of 17 seconds of 100

[supermonkeyballboy]

Beginners method!!?!! You're fast at it! My best time with the Beginners Method is 1'17"!

[alldatscool]

he is using oll and pll guys... thats not beginners method... i average about 26 seconds using beginners and 15 using fridrich

[frk17]

@alldatscool no you're wrong

[alldatscool]

@frk17 dude you can easily see that your getting all yellow side, and them permutating them. wtf dude stop lying, you dumb piece of shit we all know your lying

[frk17]

@alldatscool I orient the last layer in 2 steps. My last layer has a total of 4 steps like every other beginners method. This is actually the beginners method I started with and tought a lot of people too.

[alldatscool]

@frk17 dude, sorry, i didn't know it was you XD i thought it was some poor sap who was making some fake shit video!! sorry i didn't know it was the world record holder. sorry a ton

[scotzbhoy]

@alldatscool Just because this might not be the beginners method YOU know, doesn't mean is isn't a beginners method. If you regard the LBL method as the one I think you do (the one taught by Dan Brown), then it still has the same steps as this one, but in a different order for LL (orient edges, permute edges, permute corners, orient corners as opposed to orient edges, orient corners, permute edges, permute corners.)

[JostleCubed]

@alldatscool I know you posted that 7 months ago but I still feel the need to tell you that' you are completely fucking retarded.

Erik: Carry on.

[MrKhacheerio]

@frk17 You're wrong. Your using Fridrich and you know it!

Or maybe you don't...

[TheMrsupercube]

@frk17 =oll n pll is beginner method dumbass

[dra1221]

@alldatscool he is de world record

quiet

[VCube100]

@alldatscool he's a record breaking speedcuber if you haven't already realized

[truecarlton]

@alldatscool hes using 4lll (4 look last layer)

[SventJ]

mijn record met de begginers methode is 54:00, net gehaald!!

Welke methode gebruik je voor WKs eigenlijk (7,08 WTF)

[Partylikeaturtle]

That's actually really good for the beginner's method. I used the same thing, but got sub 30 every now and then.

[ltsjack]

Badmephisto method? And are you really doing beginner OLL/PLL or 2 look OLL/PLL?

[coolfrog23]

what cube are you using? it sounds so... fluffy

[Gollum9993]

Well crap, I average about 25 seconds with intuitive F2L and 3LLL. :/

[Senkoy1]

This doesn't look like the beginners method i know. He does the first layer but then finishes almost an instant later and it takes way longer to do the final layer. It's like he's solving the middle layer and some of the bottom while he's doing the first. Maybe that's still the beginners because it's layer by layer but it looks to me like he's doing some advanced stuff.

[adamjyn]

@Senkoy1 Yes this is the beginner's method most people use. And no this is NOT the Dan Brown method

[Senkoy1]

@adamjyn I've been learning alot about the cube since i wrote that and you're right. He's doing the cross on the bottom and that's what threw me off so much. And yeah, that's badmephisto's beginner method or something similar, that's why he's not spamming R', D', R, D at the end. So I take back my statement, now i can recognize it correctly and it is the beginner method. Though i still think doing the cross in the bottom is a tad advanced. :)

[uncoordinatedvids]

This IS the beginners method because I see him solve a cross the solve the first layer corners then second layer edges then orients the edges(in some cases it is already oriented) then orient the corners. Then permutate the corners THEN the edges. It is not the Fridrich Method because you see him pause 4 times when solving the last layer.

[TheMrLaugh]

F R I D R I C H

[SylarsCreed]

well but wasn´t this at 5:27 a sune (yes the alg is also in beginners method^^)

and then a Z or H permutation?

[sterubik]

ciao.. è fantastico!!:D sapresti dirmi che cubo usi?

[574yamaha475]

FUCK rubiks cubes...

[taiduc95]

No! It is beggginer's method!

[xNoryoku]

wait... Did you do this with Corner insertions and not F2L?(I can't tell in the video)

[AdrianIsScience]

Im very impressed, your speed at analyzing the cube with a beginner method is amazing.

[TheNeolisticKid]

Good job dude! I just started cubing about 10 days ago and I'm only down to 1:28. Any tips?

[manandblack2]

Lol you guys are right it's not beginners method.I actually look at what algorithms his doing and I analayse how he has solves and the algorithms his using has no relation to beginners method.

[frk17]

No it IS a beginners method. Beginners methods mostly deal with: cross, solve 1st layer corners, solve 2nd layer edges, orient edges LL, orient corners LL, permutate corners LL, permutate edges LL (in other words a 4 look LL). The algorithms people give for doing this are always different but the same number of algorithms. You can't say it's not a beginners method just because I use different algorithms than you are used to....

[taiduc95]

@frk17 Yeah, that's right !

[rpotts1]

@manandblack2

lol he's clearly doing F (R U R' U') F' then sunes. It's possible you don't know what you're talking about.

[furiousz11]

not beginners.

[CoasterphansCubes]

It's inspiring!

[ericforman65]

this is crazy ... my best average of 12 with FRIDRICH is 19.74 seconds ... kinda weird

[cube4jesus]

not the beginners method i learned.

[tfkscores]

dude its kinda easier than i thought i was getting a bunch of sub 30 the way he was doing it.

[tfkscores]

i love how you get one side done in like 4 seconds. unbelievable dude. how do you practice? or are you just like a cubing prodigy

[kevinaddictus]

hey ti all who don't believe this video. i have a friend whom i really idolize. because when we 3 friends are having a speed cubing marathon, the two of us use f2l while the other is plain beginners method and he can sometimes win. and the last layer(pll) is like my frnds way of doing corner cycle.

[dilifromdili]

Ok, Erik I'm a big fan

when i saw the title i was worried that i was never going to get fast enough with the beginner method to be good enough for Fridrich Method

BUT, yur still using OLL and PLL at the end, lol, So i'm relieved

My best with beginner method is 46.28secs, ive been cubing for a couple of months

[ukx14]

It's 4-LLL Not just OLL and PLL. It's amazing. I had like 27 sec PB when I was 4-LLL :D and with F2L. Now with 3LLL I have 11.32 but still.

[BelgiumCuber]

That the Fridrich beginner Method and not the Beginner Method from the SPIEGEL (I think that the orginale beginner Method

Erik how fast are you with the Spiegelk Method ?

[ferpsg]

My best with this method is only 48s and avg 1m05s. Your the best

[dsheadache52]

you're not doing beginner method maybe first 2 steps...definitely using advanced oll and pll..still good but no one can use the beginner method that fast

[frk17]

yes I do

[YoDaPro]

ofc! Step 2 and 7 is only a 4 Turn move like R' D' R D... and this move can go rly fast with practice!

[H4vo556]

Dude, there is absolutely no way... Dsheadache52 is right

[maboesanman1]

@frk17 I personally recognize all of the PLL algorithms

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

yeah, he's definitely doing 4-look LL you're obviously not paying attention.

[azureriot]

@dsheadache52 Ha do you not know who this is?

[taiduc95]

@dsheadache52 HE DID IT WITH BEGGINER'S METHOD ! DIDN'T YOU SEE THAT ????

[shinkid95]

@dsheadache52

me too

[KimimaroROCKS]

that looks like fridrich to me...

[NerdGradeA1]

ososad. his beginner averages are faster than my CFOP averages...

[Swampert890]

hey you're good, are you really using the beginners method? i also have a strategy which is like the beginners method. it works by placing a corner and finding its corresponding edge then doing the algo to place it there and i'm using compound oll and full pll. nice vid! keep it up.

[goshypimple13]

sigh

my best is onli 23s

[mateo642]

holy crap u have fast fingers. u use beginners method and sovle the cube mad fast

[barfsonyou99]

guys hes using lbl (layer by laver) for f2l and 4lll

[fatfatpancake]

no shit smartass

[goshypimple]

how do u get to be so fast???

im averaging onli around 38

[mccafferty16]

is this beginners method as in 2 look oll and pll? cuz this isnt the method that the paper in the storebought cubes teach you

[baseballrg]

its not 2 look because in this one you use 2 olls and 2 plls, for oll you repeat sune or anti sune until you get sune or anti sune, then it is pretty mucch 2 look pll

[nelvic2000]

I think erik has his own definition of a beginner's method. The majority will agree on the first two-layer method but there were mix reactions on erik's third layer approach because normally the orientation is not two-look for a beginner. Anyway, I think this video shows erik's dedication to the sport, his hand dexterity,quick thinking, and talent.

[zerogravity724]

wow. i solve the 1st layer in about 25 seconds. haha but my best is 1 min.

[StefanPochmann]

Please add some annotation at the start of the video telling the information you have in the video description. So that it's visible when the video is embedded for example in forums.

[KireinaCAT]

you just proved that.. . even noobs can get sub 20's with practice :D

[IPwnAllAndLeaveNone]

@KireinaCAT lol xD

[Brad4Rubik]

Nice, my best is like a 20.xx. Fun video.

[ricardodiaz88]

doesnt look like beginners method..

[GaroMaster1337]

Holy cow!!! I didn't think it was possible to solve that fast using the beginners method!!!

[bry4n3]

Mmmm..nice solves!!

[jado1234567]

how the heck did he get that fast with the beginner's method?!! I am at about 40 seconds avg. with alot of the one-look OLL's and 2-look PLL! (I do intuative F2l)

[SuperMoo332]

shit ur fast lol

[0147896325rubikcube]

Were you using full OLL and PLL or 2look OLL and PLL or one algorithm for each?

[frk17]

You don't read the describtion did you?

It was BEGINNERS, OLL and PLL both in one look is not very beginner like eh..

[0147896325rubikcube]

If you didn't know, you can't tell what level of OLL and PLL you were using from the description. =P

[frk17]

I thought the term 'beginner' would say enough..

[0147896325rubikcube]

If you didn't know, most beginners only know 1 OLL and 1 PLL. You said you used one look/full OLL and PLL. So no, you can't tell which level you were using! Besides, beginners is only a term that describes how you do the F2L. I could use Frid. and finsh off with the a low level OLL and PLL.

[frk17]

This is what most cubers would refer to as THE beginners method... not what you think as the beginners method.

[0147896325rubikcube]

What are you talking about? I know what a beginner method is.

[cubist6]

mate, i dont think you know better than the world record holder. so shut up. it says in the description that he does the last layer in more than two steps - orient edges, orient corners, permute edges, permute corners. count them. 4. yes, well done. that means 4 LOOKS. like erik said, 4 look last layer is what most cubers consider a beginners method. he never said he used one look last layer (thats over 1100 algorithms). full fridrich is two looks. he did 4. understand now? christ...

[0147896325rubikcube]

Just because you didn't read the whole thing, he said "OLL and PLL both in one look". I don't even know what you were smoking when you said you needed to know 1100+ algorithms to do one look OLL and PLL. You only need to know 57 OLL and 21 PLL. I don't even know what you were talking about with Fridrich. For the last time, 'beginners' only describes how you do the first two layers! And just because he has a WR doesn't make him an all powerful, all seeing, all knowing god! Now learn some grammar.

[comedyishere]

Beginners method is cross, corners, middle layer, and a 4 look LL.

[ThisIsWEB]

one of them is.

[beingforitse1f]

to do [(one look OLL) and (one look PLL)] takes 57 OLL+21 PLL, to do [one look (OLL and PLL)] takes 1100+ algorithms

[BdizzleFaReal]

That dude is soo beast

[ericforman65]

holy shit, how can you do the beginners method so fast

[enigmatp]

what ppl are you using to permute corners?

[gerbalarmy]

damn, my personal best using lbl is 39 sec, then again you use oll and pll, but still insane man, you just speed through the first two layers.

[WyldeBoy]

Thats pretty good...

I can get 1 min 20 with a regular cube using these methods. no finger tricks XD

[sliert]

you indeed use OLL PLL, so the only thing different is in the first 2 layers..., then it costs a few extra seconds instead of F2l it.

[BeasltyFry]

very nice, ur rececnition is very advanced and its a pretty sick thing lol so that means u rly dont need to even do the fridrik method or anythhing lol but can you tell me wat type of cube u hav, A,C,or D thanks?

[jat989]

what are a c and d cubes and whats the diff?

[JackassBoy1337]

I've only heard of A B C. A is the best type, C is second best, and B is like a cube bought in a drug store. Yes, It's A C B, in that order. Best to worst. idk why

[frk17]

I don't agree sorry, this was a b type... (rubik core)

[JackassBoy1337]

Hmm.. I heard B was the worst. But I don't know. So do you know the full OLLs and PLLs?

[frk17]

you COULD maybe look at my other videos where you COULD discover I usually do a bit faster solves, maybe even look at my site and see the OLL's and PLL's... it's a possibility ;-)

[JackassBoy1337]

Nice. Using F2l intuitive and 2-looks my best is only a minute and 3 seconds. haha

[bida1]

from this video learning advanced method of solving cube in sub 20 only half helping you to get faster? This method with over 70 moves could end up you 30sec to a minute. How can ppl like us doing f2l,oll and pll in full just less 56 moves only managed to get over 20 - 30. does your fingers and thinking reactions twice faster than we do?

[JackassBoy1337]

Are you talking to me? Because I don't use full olls or plls, just two looks, and I know that it takes longer. I managed to get 50 seconds using f2l and two looks.

[bida1]

i`m talking to everybody especially to frk17 who doing it under 20sec......something feel me curious to know more why in that so many moves he still affords to get a very good times.

[frk17]

It's because I normally use a much more advanced method and I'm pretty quick with this. A 19 solve would be terribly slow for me (not trying to brag!) so it's possible to do sub-20 with an inferior method :) (I bet a lot of people can do this by the way (Joel, Harris, Nakaji, Mitsuki, Edouard etc etc)

[JackassBoy1337]

So you normally use full fridrich? I thinking of learning full plls and olls

[bida1]

yup...you`re right beside a good cube what else tips to get  very good and fast fingers, i` m sure it does not stand on short-cuts, look ahead and advanced method alone.

[Ambi3ntStorm]

That is insane.

[leopulga]

Hey. Really nice. My average with that method is 40 seconds. But i thought that this method was: cross, corners first layer, edges 2nd layer, cross at the top, edges last layer, place corners last layer, and finish off the cube with Ri-Di-R-D

[Fenr1rblu3]

Walah..... I use that method before but my best is only 1 min 40 secs....

U are good man........

[paincauser13]

it looks like u do some 2look OLL on the first solve

[frk17]

I do 2 look OLL on all solves..... also a 2 look PLL ;)

[Connorcuber]

Do you know full oll? (i'm assuming of course you know full pll)

[CoMpToNHyBriD]

WOOOOOOW. mine is only 21 secs with normal method.

[fanwuq]

Wow, I can't even do this method anymore. I unconsciously do fridrich now. I got to 36s pb and 55s average before I switched.

[LucasGarron]

Incredible! How did you get the idea to do this? ;-)

[frk17]

Hmm it was some guy named Lucas I think :P:P

[SinH4]

AMAZING! It takes me about 25 seconds to solve with this method.

[JasonJRY]

ERIK that is absolutetly breath taking!! arghhh lol sub 20 average wtf lol you soo goood

[frk17]

I could never be this fast if I didn't normally use Fridrich I think, it's easy to predict where edges will go after solving corners and also easy to predict which Edge PLL I'll get after permutating corners ;)

Sorry I had some lucks but they are hard to avoid with this method.

[8zee8]

tha6ts still faster then me with the fridrich method.

[archer93woelf]

he used a part of fridrich too

[leopulga]

WTF?????????? My best time for this method was 59 secs. How do you do it so fast?

[LeoneriHaze]

Well, I can't average sub 20 with fridrich yet.

[LeoneriHaze]

I cant even sub 20 regular :(

[esquimalt1]

AMAZING!!! :)

[boiswatching]

i think you should try the beginners beginners method, like the one where the cross is on top and you do corners then do x2 and do edges, then you get the cross and orient the edges, then orient the corners then twist the corners lol

[boiswatching]

omg nice job dude, you beat my best of 18.78...with the beginners method! good job :)

[123asop]

Wow, my best is like 40 seconds lol.
