Easiest Way to Solve the 4x4 Rubik's Cube

My beginner's tutorial on solving the 4x4 Rubik's cube puzzle using the Reduction method.
Time stamps:
0:00 Intro
0:43 ► Notations
Rw means turn the right 2 layers clockwise
Rw' means turn the right 2 layers counterclockwise
Small r means turn only the right middle layer clockwise
Small r2 means turn only the right middle layer twice
1:42 ► Step 1 - White Center
2:39 ► Step 2 - Yellow Center
3:44 ► Step 3 - Rest of the Centers
6:38 Step 4 - Pair 12 Edges
Pair/Flip last 2 edges: Dw R F' U R' F Dw'
9:22 ► Step 5 - Solve like a 3x3 Parity
OLL Parity: Rw2 B2 U2 Lw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 F2 Rw F2 Lw' B2 Rw2
PLL Parity: r2 U2 r2 Uw2 r2 Uw2

I've learned all my 3x3 from J-perm. Then i found this for the 4x4. I find this 4x4 tutorial easier to learn than the method J-perm teaches. Really great job!

I learned to solve the 3x3 Rubik's cube in literally 30 mins, I definitely underestimated how much harder the 4x4 would be, anyways this helps a whole lot because some of the tutorial videos are too long or skips steps.

I’ve been workong in the edges for 30 min and still don’t understand and I can solve a 3x3 in 30 seconds

[@aries8066]

@@thesimonshi i dont really understand on pairing the edges, do i need to pair them with the right colors? Or it doesnt matter where i pair them as long as it has the same colot as the other one

Why did you edit out the bit where you say, just solve like a normal 3x3 cube?, I can solve a 3x3 by doing white cross, then white corners then centre layer edges then yellow top layer, how the hell does this equate to a 4x4?
