QJ 4x4 solve 2:53.46

This was done by The Man From The Moon.
Finally, sub-3 mins, It's ok, but the best on camera! I was nervous+had re-filmed 4x4 solves at least 20 times before this, getting just over 3 minutes. I'm better now... and down to a sub 2 average

Cubesmith tiles?

[TheTwoCubers]

@MikaCuber Nah. The tiles you see in this video come with the cube itself (It is a QJ 4x4). They are similar to the tiles that come with the mefferts 4x4

I see these people chat about the 5x5x5 Cube, but isn't that easier than this? there's a predicided center, so you basically solve a 3x3x3 and then just do edges and corners, which shouldn't be too hard.

[TheTwoCubers]

@FreshPrinceOfHolland Yes...and no. It does eliminate the bother of having to determine the colours of the appropriate sides. However, 5x5x5 centres must be done in a similar fashion...as they don't 'act' like edges and corners, because they are not attached to one another, you would quickly get parity errors in the centres.

Edges are basically the same, except time must be taken to find the central edge also.

it would help if you learn edge paring via chainsolving

[TheTwoCubers]

I have started to learn 4-4-2-2 (forming 4 edges at once, then 4, then 2 then 2) edge pairing and also devised a method of doing the 3x3x3 cross part of the solve in the edge pairing step. I am currently on a sub- 1:50.xx average.

excellent, i use 6 pair chin solving and two pair chain solving

[TheTwoCubers]

Nice. I was happy with a sub-2 on the 4x4x4 :)

[concretecubes]

lol its that same now for my 5x5,but i recently got a sub 2, so im happy about that. see, you are improving!!! nice! :)

[TheTwoCubers]

Hahahaha. Thanks, back when this was filmed (Three months before up load) it was fast. Don't worry, my average is getting better; ~2:19 now. :)

I'll bet that's still worse than your 5x5 average :P
