I'm going to practice Roux from now on:
Average: 33.62
Times: (26.54), 31.68, 30.28, 32.82, 35.56, 37.05, 36.60, (38.93), 36.95, 27.27, 34.39, 33.59
I think I should practice my blocks more :/
EDIT: I think I can sub-30 now... I'll try again later. Btw, it's Penguinstorm300, not Penguinestorm300

Do you have a video of a solve? I would love to see it. I am guessing that the sucking part is exagerated.

In addition to the fact that I've been practicing 5x5 only, my regular cube (55mm Zhanchi, black) is in the middle of repainting. This is a standard black Zhanchi that is a little looser than I like.

I only have one video of a 4x4 solve and it is the very first time I ever solved the 4x4 cube (or touched it or seen it in person). It is over 9 minutes long with DNF because I didn't know what to do when I ran into parity. I haven't practiced 4x4 much yet. Right now it takes me over 2 minutes for a solve...

Doing this 3x3 on 4x4 was kind of annoying because of all the lock-ups but I just went back to normal 3x3 and suddenly beat my PB Ao5 and Ao12! I heard of this "phenomenon" before. I wonder why it happens...

I think doing 4 X 4 is harder on your eyes. Cubies are smaller and there are lot's more of them. So going back to 3 X 3 your brain and eyes are still working hard and then you will have a better lookahead because the brain and eyes spot them so much faster.

I think the advantage of doing big cubes (in speeding up your 3x3 times) is that it takes longer to turn a big cube. So it's the "slow down and speed up" thing.
Another difference I find with big cubes is that the edges are larger compared to the corners and this makes them easier to spot.
