How to Solve a 4x4x4 Rubik's Cube - Part 1 - Centers

In this tutorial, I will show how to solve the 4x4 Rubik's Revenge cube. We must first place centers (no algorithm needed), then pair each individual edge (one short algorithm because of parity). After that, the cube is very similar to solving a 3x3.

In this video, I first give an introduction into the 4x4 cube and explain what we will need to accomplish before we can actually start to solve the cube. I also go over the notation we will need to become familiar with when performing given algorithms and then start to show you how to position/solve the six 'centers' of the cube. (NOTE* If you do not want to watch the introduction and notation, you can fast forward to 2:55 where I begin going over the centers*) The three main things we will be doing are:
1) Making 2x1 blocks within the center regions of the cube
2) Combining two 2x1 blocks to form a 2x2 center block
3) Adding a single center component to a 3 piece L. *NOTE* to do this, I recommend having the single center piece either in the lower left or lower right region and positioning the corner of the L (see video*) in the same location as that single piece.




*NOTE* A good way to pick three centers to place in a clockwise direction (If you don't want to use red/white/blue) is to look at any corner on the cube and place the three centers in the same orientation/position as the colors on the corner. You do not have to worry about the corner when placing centers, you would just be using it to pick those three colors only.

PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK AND/OR COMMENTS ON THE TUTORIAL VIDEOS OR SEND ME A MESSAGE AND I WILL ANSWER AS SOON AS I CAN (USUALLY WITHIN A DAY OR TWO)! I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IF IT IS HELPING PEOPLE OUT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

very nostalgic

are you in a movie?

[LizardkingMario]

It's rob the robot!

[EAGangstad]

Thumbs up if you have an Eastsheen 4x4!

[TheNerdyGirly]

EEEEEP, THANKS SOO MUCH!

[coolkidowen214]

thisisnt possible whenever i get the white center it just messes up the red no matter wut i do

[NipplesTheSquirrel]

Woo got them centers

[danielrob18]

what do u do when u have a orange L but it is in the wrong place



[SuperRyan9420]

dude i can understand you when you do origami but the rubik's cube you SUCK AT THIS
