Filipe's Progression Thread - practicing 4x4 and 5x5

[Deleted member 36445]

I was solving the 4x4 today and I thought that one of the corners was twisted (I swear it seemed twisted, afterwards I noticed it was not)
then I tried twisting the corner but without success. It only bended the corner and my cube is messed up now.
My cube was good but now it is looking weird with the bended corner and turning is messed up. it is fully functional tho
I will only have a new 4x4 in like 4 months so I have to cope with my poor crooked cube for a while ;_;

watch a video on reduction to improve solving.

are my centers wrong?

 

[Deleted member 36445]

are my centers wrong?

yep.
I learned from a jperm video that if white center in on the left, the order is blue, orange, green, red, going from front, up, back, and down respectively

 

[THE_V01DL0RD]

can I fix the centers without messing up the edges

 

[Deleted member 36445]

can I fix the centers without messing up the edges

ofc. just do this alg to swap left and right centers

r2 U2 D2 r2

if you need to swap two adjacent centers do this other one (which is not the case on your solve, but good to know anyway)

r U2 r' l' U2 l

That happened to me. Here's what you're going to do.
Take apart the cube so you can take out the corner. Then, properly twist it back to its original shape. Then, LOOSEN THE CUBE.

Yeah, learn reduction, it's much easier.

For your centers, I would learn the correct color scheme with a 3x3, so you can memorize it as you go. If you mess up the order of the edges (where the opposites are correct but the colors are not on the correct side of one another), use this alg:

r2 s2 r2

dude why the heck are some pieces missing?
edit: you are on f2l mode

Oh I don't want to disassemble it. I will buy a new one soon, I'll keep using it like this

i used centers mode when doing the centers.
the only reason i use the filter is because the colors overwhelm me.

 

[THE_V01DL0RD]

some pieces were also missing when i showd you the 4x4 for the first time

imagine running a marathon while solving as many rubiks cubes as possible
26 miles with a backpack full of cubes.

since you're not using that cube can I have it?

who said I'm not using lol

im talking about the cube in the end of the video
