4x4 breakdown

[leeho]

So, I started 4x4 about a week or 2 ago. Currently averaging around 1:50 mins (=.=) depending on parity sometimes times it can go up to 2:20 mins. I just need to know what needs to be improved. Heres a breakdown of my solves:

Centres = 25 secs -ish
Edge pairing = anywhere up to a minute
3x3 solving = ranges from 25 to 40 secs

I just need to know what the breakdown of people that average around 1 minute is. I watched some advanced pairing methods...seems a little too inefficient for me. I prefer to stick to 2 edge pairs at a time. I use fridrich and 2 look oll for the last part.

So...yeah...I've ben doing 3x3 all this time and I'm a little uneducated in 4x4 so..Thanks for the help in advance.

Well What method are you using for edge pairing, if you are doing one edge at a time switch to 2 Pair Edge solving because I average around 2:20 and my breakup is

Centers : 30
Edges : 45
Solve as 3x3 : 55 (never less than 45)

I'm using 2 edge pair solving. I just need a couple of pointers on how to get faster and tricks on a 4x4 because its abit foreign to me.

should i spoil this thread? xD

on a good solve,
1st 2 centres: 4s
corners: 8s
finish R and L faces: 20s
finish cage: 7s
centres: 13s
total: 51s, that is a very good solve though =P

normal solve:
1st 2 centres: 5s
corners: 9s
finish R and L faces: 24s
finish cage: 8s
centres: 18s
total 64s

fine now reduction:
centres: 15s
edges: 60-75s
3x3: 30-40s

average abt 1:45..

Well recognition is very important. Even I am very slow and I think you could easily do edge pairing in sub 30 with 2 pair chain solving if you have brilliant Look ahead

 

[n00bcubix]

Centers: 13
Edges : 22
3x3: 16-25

Really varies on parity or no parity, and how my recognition is for the last 2 edges.

How do you (And other fast 4x4 cubers0 edge pair so fast? It seems to be my only problem.

Centers: Sub 15
Edges: ~35
3x3: ~30 (Depends on Parity)

i got a really amazing idea!

well executing oll and pll parity fast helps.

Turn slow at edges, you'll find edge groups better.
Dont' do any extra useless turns, instead rotate more.
That's what I do
Or try to not rotate at all lol

wow a week and already sub 2? you got potential becaus im not even there yet. i really cant tell you mt breakdown because i dont like 4x4 that much

Can someone tell me a breakdown in order to get sub 2 minutes? I average around 2:40ish.

My breakdowns are:

Centers: 30-45
Edges: 50-60
3x3: 30-45 depending on pairity.

If a good solve is 30+50+30= 1:50 and a "bad" solve is 45+60+45= 2:30 then an average solve would be 36+55+37= 2:08 (doesn't sound like 2:40ish; 50+70+40= 2:40) So to drop 40 sec from your times( keeping these ratios) it would prob. be:
-15 + -20 + -5 = 35+50+35= 2:00

I avg. ~2:30 with a PB of 1:52 and I would like to be sub 2(avg.) too

 

[mycube]

Centers: 15-25
Edges: 15-25
3x3: 20-25
my best solve is 1:00.27. and i think it was reduction 38 and 22 3x3 part.
average of my 700-800 solves in the last two month is 1:18.xy

Yeah i wrote the average wrong. I did an Ao12 and got 2:15.xx

thanks.

minus 5 sec in each step and you are there
