Reverse Keyhole (Deveraux?) Method

[Ikaruga102]

What is your fastest time with this Method.

Can anyone give me tips to improving with it?

My fastest is a 44, but that was lucky. I usually get just 1:10 averages. I have learned the 2 look LL's (which was a little faster than the beginners method.

Is it a dead end? should I just practice my fridrich f2l?

I think that if you use that + OLL, PLL you could get a sub 15 avg.

Yes, learn intuitive f2l off Badmephisto on youtube.

I searched this forum and used google, but couldn't find anything about a deveraux method. Could you post a link?

AVG: he said reverse keyhole, so I'm guessing put in 3 edges, then keyhole corners, then last edge.

Wait, you said 2 look LLs, but did you mean 4LLL (2-look OLL and 2-look PLL)?

Reverse Keyhole would be inserting three edges first as opposed to three corners first. I used Keyhole method until I was under 30 seconds but I really would not recommend it at all if you truly want to become faster. I was simply too lazy to learn Fridrich and kept trying to find ways that I thought were faster than Fridrich but easier. I did not realize that Fridrich F2L is actually pretty easy because I just looked at all of the algorithms and thought, "Wow, too much to learn..." So, you should definitely learn Fridrich F2L if you are planning on going down the Fridrich route. Keyhole is meant to be a beginner-intermediate approach to F2L but I do not think it was ever meant to be used as an alternative to Fridrich F2L for advanced cubers - at least, as far as I know.

I used to use this method. I'm not sure about what times I'd get since I haven't used it in a while. I'll post back once i try a few solves.

I'm sure with practice you could achieve sub-20, even sub-15...I think a better name for the reverse keyhole method would be the "elohyek" method

Agreed

wow! i'd been using what i thought was keyhole when i was a beginner, now i realize it's reverse keyhole!

I second this motion, i also find it very funny. xD

I like that name, haha.

Why not keyhole' ?

Hahahahaha, god I love cube humor

16.98 first try, easy cases for edges and corners though, just not the last one
