7 Tips to be Sub-1 Minute on 4x4

[@JPerm]

Forgot to add it on screen, but "sledgehammer" is R' F R F' or L F' L' F, used to insert F2L pairs while influencing some last layer edges. The parity and edge flip algorithms are all in the description, as well as links to other advanced 4x4 videos including example solves, 3-2-3 edge pairing, and half centers. Thanks for watching!

[@autogame1212]

J Perm is it possible to be sub 2 with the reduction method on 4*4

[@JPerm]

yes, but much easier with yau

nice video! I approve of all these tips

[@ThibaudOU]

Do you think these tips can apply to sub 40?

[@JPerm]

influencing other pieces for centers is something that I didn't even do much even when I first reached sub-40. look ahead for cross edges and edge pairing imo are the most important things.

Hey everyone. I'm trying to decide what 3x3 cube to get. My friend let me try out his Gts2, and at first I liked it, but after a couple solves, I found that it was a little clunky, loud, and didn't have a very "smooth" feel to it, so I think that a different cube may be the better choice for me. I am open to any price, but preferably below $25-30. Budget cubes, magnetic cubes, or just regular cubes are all contenders. Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone recommends. EDIT: Omg J Perm replied. Woah, I did not expect that at all. The mf3rs2m? I'll look into it. Thank you J, it means a lot!

[@JPerm]

mf3rs2m is really smooth!

[@resunwonknu2393]

Somehow I can make my GTS 2 m quite smooth Edit: I used heavy lube (gan standard lube) on the tracks and light lube (m lube, not maru) on the pieces (inspired by angstrom)

I use Hoya and average about 56 seconds would you still recomend to switch to Yau? thanks

[@JPerm]

Hoya is okay, but there's a pretty good consensus that Yau is better, even from top hoya solvers

[@ifrog751]

Hoya is much better for 5-7

[@Rubiking]

@@ifrog751 I really don't thinks that is true. For bigger cubes, Hoya has many more moves to make the cross edges

[@sybrenvandenakker9064]

@@Rubiking Hoya Vs reduction is a trade-off between lookahead and efficiency. There isn't much of a difference between Yau and Hoya because the last four centers are slower than Hoya's centers, but Yau edges are faster.

[@TNLCubing]

Thanks for the video! I have somehow already picked up all of these tips, to an extent, intuitively and was on the verge of sub 1 before watching this video, so hopefully i can polish these and break the barrier. Also i have just realised that when i to my yau centers i hold my cross on the right. It felt natural so i started solving like that. I notice most other people hold cross on left; so do you think switching would make a difference in any aspect of solving?

[@tasnimul]

Since no one replied, I am gonna ask after 4 years, do you still do the cross on the right?

[@azaanwarrior7368]

is it a coincidence that as soon as this vid finished i picked up my 4x4 and did my first ever sub 1 minute solve? (58.2s) i guess j perms vids do work!!!

[@iurigrang]

I use offensive and I find this Meyer.

[@JPerm]

LOL btw curious, what do you average on 4x4? i dont know anything about meyer lol

[@iurigrang]

Low 50, I don't really practice 4x4 all that much. Meyer is really similar to yau, but instead of doing 3 cross edges you do FB. That also leads to some differences in edge pairing, (since you can't break those 2 corners), but you also have the extra freedom because the front edge isn't fixed.

[@zacharytrudell2411]

Hi Dylan, I've been implementing these tips into my solving ever since this video's release. I averaged about 2:00 then with basic Yau. I am now around 1:05, and I cannot seem to break that barrier no matter how hard I try, or how much I try to lookahead. I'm honestly unsure what's going on, but it just feels like I am just a slow turner, and cannot move the cube fast enough.

[@melvin4484]

I would recommend adding dnm to your bug cubes for more speed, speed on big cubes is huge. Although that probably won’t decrease your avg by that much it will help with turning

yes finally a 4x4 video. Thanks

[@cubethesquid3919]

At 8:50 what I do is (r U r’ U’) (r U2 r’). It’s quick and easy to remember. Also, you said around 18 seconds on 3x3 should be able to get you to sub 1 on 4x4. What about sub 15? And last, a bit of fan mail, your half centers video has helped me so much! I learned half centers a few weeks ago, and I was struggling to get sub 1:04, and now I’m easily 1:02.xx, with my average dropping every session. This video came out at the perfect time!

[@JPerm]

that's great! keep it up :) i dont know an accurate conversion from 3x3 to 4x4, but 4x4 takes about 3-4 times as long if you're good, (closer to 4 as you get faster at 3x3, since 4x4 starts to limit your turn speed). so if you're sub-15 and not sub-1 minute, then 3x3 is not the limiting factor.
