You taught me how to solve a 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 and beyond. I will happily admit you got me through lockdown here in the UK by opening up the world of speedcubing. You break things down so well, but when you got onto commutators you absolutely destroyed my mind. I still use the beginners method, but I'm working on it, to be fair I was 35 when I started and I'm 38 now, so it's a little harder for things to get into my head these days ha ha Thank you.

[@cuttlefishn.w.2705]

I've become obsessed with doing it this way. This has been great commutator practice, and the f2l/fl/f4b has become a lot simpler and less daunting than how you did it here. F2L algs covers all the corners and edge pieces for the first 4 blocks, keeping what you've solved at the bottom and repositioning them in optimal positions to continue solving. Putting the centers in place I found was easiest after first making them face the bottom and using 2 slice moves (assuming a desired center piece was somewhere along the sides).

Reduction to 2x2 is my favorite way of slow solving a 4x4, I do it completely intuitively and don't need to worry about parity. Even the ugly case you got I solve intuitively. After the bottom layer 2x2 blocks are built the top layer 2x2s are built doing nothing more than R'D'RD and turning U and swapping positions of 2x2 blocks. But if I really feel masochistic I go for a layer by layer solve of the 4x4, first 3 layers are easy, last layer is challenging.

I tried this once too although I did it a different way and like you said, you get to a certain point and realize how pointless it is. If you are manually placing specific pieces in specific places, you might as well just put them where they belong. The way I did it was a more brute force method where I solved it like a 4x4 supercube where I assigned a specific corner to each corner position based on where the corners were at the beginning of the solve. In the first stages of solving the centres I had to do it without shifting any of the corner's relative positions or rotations because those were my reference points. Once I finished the centres I used them as my new anchors. It was such a pain because if you accidentally rotate one of the centres it is really hard to notice until it's too late.

Omg! You went about that the hard way. But congrats! I like to use this method on a megamorphix puzzle. Using 2x2 R'D'RD moves in the last half(layer by layer in the first half) to pair edges with centers moving them around hideing them in the top layer. Sometimes you need a corner swap for the final 2 corner groups... this is a good process for the AI bandaged 4x4 cubes To fix parity you simply use false equivalency of centers to correct.

I remember when I got my Rubik's 4x4 (this was was probably around 13 or 14 years ago). It came with a solve guide that taught solving the all of the edges and corners (partially using commutators) first and then solving the centers using commutators. When I got it all memorized, a good solve was probably around 7-8 minutes. Then I got the Rubik's 5x5, and basically applied the same methods, having to come up with something for middle pieces. I think 15-20 was probably around my average then. Long story short that method sucked, and also I never want to touch my Rubik's brand 5x5 ever again.

I feel like with algorithm optimization, and just getting used to it, i feel like it could become a viable strategy.

[@PlusTwo]

Hey JPerm, I love this question and you did a lot of the same things that people usually do when they start out with it. I actually created a 2x2 reduction method for 4x4 a couple years ago that I still use to speed solve to this day. I still haven't finished the method, but here is a video of me using my method and getting a 1:07 pb with a 2x2 reduction method. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4a5koqDr819oNE

[@samueljehanno]

Wow cool

[@oscarr5338]

If you think about it, for every cube we reduce to a 1x1 stage

[@yeoldpepsi]

Getting lost in a parity alg has consistently been the most anxiety inducing event when cubing I cringe and grit my teeth whenever I see someone else get stuck And it's so satisfying to see them finish it

Can you solve a 4x4 like a 2x2? Me: get in the car and let’s find who the frick asked

[@morristeeluk9962]

i just ordered several different rubik's cubes, and the 4x4 cube is a part of that order. And watching this made me just confuzzled in many ways(Yes, I had to look up a word for how I felt). But I'm excited. I'll try to solve it on my own, I'm sure that I will have to look up the method to solve it on KZbin, and I'll for sure look at one of your videos to solve the cube if i can't solve it on my own. And I do have nearly four months of experience with a 3x3 cube.

Superantoniovivaldi has a great video on how to do this! He shows how he solves a 4x4 with bandaged pieces that make 2x2 pieces if it makes sense, his video is really great and his method is intuitive

[@TheRutanshGohel]

me too

[@Ninjawest-ur8zl]

The reason a 2x2 is hard to make, is because in order to get the cube in a 2 by 2 formation, you need the ability to solve the cube another way, because basically what your doing is trying to get the cube in a certain position, which is the exact same thing as you trying to solve a cube

[@kronusaerospace8872]

years after release, and months after watching it for the first time (before I'd even gotten into cubing) I managed to solve a 4x4 as a two by two myself. It took me like 4 hours, and was pure pain, would recommend!

Mr. JPerm, can you solve a 3x3 by solving the corners like a 2x2 first and then solving the centers and edges? Thanks

[@curtishammer748]

2:09 "Pretty easy!" - He will soon regret saying that I think that pretty much sums up every thought anyone has ever had about a 4x4 before SERIOUSLY considering what it is.

[@BKYLiew]

this video is underrated af!!

[@devini15yt]

I find it fun to scramble a 4×4 like a 2×2, then scramble that like a 3×3. Now I have a way to make a 4×4 into a 2×2 using only 3×3 algorithms. It's still challenging but it's not as complicated as turning a randomly scrambled 4×4 into a 2×2

[@DinoRAWrus]

"I hope you had fun cause I did not" LMAOO😂😭

[@fritos1445]

my first 4x4 comes in tomorrow, i'm pretty excited. I'm familiar with solving 3x3 and i've heard people say after the centers of the 4x4 you solve it like a 3x3 but the concept is going over my head by just looking at it. Maybe it'll make more sense when I have it in my hands.

[@mustafaemrebasaran7701]

Excellent video. I've always wondered this myself. You've got a new well-deserved subscriber. :)

[@sidneydamsma]

Im impressed at your cubing knowledge!

[@elguapob3766]

For the"parity" in the 8th piece, you could just break another edge, flipped then change the orientation of the cycle by making a setup move

[@MelindaGreen]

Definitely a like for the effort! I'm glad to find out what it's like. It doesn't matter if it's useful. Like what's useful about blind solving? The task *is* the puzzle.
