why I am making a v2-
they wouldn't let me edit my v1
DONT USE IF A BEGINER IT WILL GREATLY CONFUSE YOU
1- Get a better cube

Rubik brand-
1)seem to pop
2)can be really hard to handle
(don't gt)
get at toy stores, rubik's.com

rubik's mod brand-
1)stuck with the rc then mod using thrawsts mod it made mine a lot better
do if stuck with the rubik's brand.
Try out if you have an eatsheen thoe.
Time- about 1hour pausing some of the time

Eastsheen-
1) smaller size
2)doesn't cut corrners
(get if you can withstand no tolerance in corrners)
eastsheen.com - I think

Mefferts-
1)great cube
2)they should replace the bulky tiles
(absolutly get)
mefferts.com cubeforyou.com

QJ-
1)better than mefferts
2)same with the tiles though
(a must get)
cubeforyou.com cubefans.com

mini QJ-
1)great size
2)a little tighter than regular QJ but can be fixed
(yes get it) cubeforyou.com cubefans.com

2- centers
solve them in correct color scheme
during last 2 centers solve for 1-2 edge pairs

3- edges

First you will need to know advanced edge pairing. Advanced edge paring is when you pair up and edge. Then take it out and put in not so random edges then revert the centeers and you have another edgepair. *check out monkeydude1313 video !on this part only! The rest is confusing.*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Now insted of pairing one edge up then inserting another edge to formm a second, Place 3 on the same row. Then pair them up so that you have 3 edge pairs (sometimes your lucky and get 4) then use advanced edge pairing. Then it is easy to solve the rest with advaced edge pairing. You will have 2-5 left.

4-3x3 solve

use a fast 3x3 method (fridrich). Dont use methods like roux or us algorithms that use M moves, find alturnitives.

5- Parity

when using fridrich you will have two parity. Oll and pll in the begining use 2LOLL and 2LPLL so it can be reconizable
in oll you may have 1 or 3 pieces of the top cross instead of using that wierd algoritm to swap it in the beginers method use this algorithm (dose involve cube rotation.)
grip both layers on R and L moves and single on U move-
R U2 x R U2 R U2 R' U2 L U2 R' U2 R U2 R' U2 R'

then you solve pll for the corners. After that you may notice that you have two edges flipped. When they are across from each other use
Uu2 Ll2 U2 l2 U2 Ll2 Uu2
note: upper case latters is outer layers and lower case is inner layers.

When you have two adjacent to each other and need to be flipped use
R' U R U' then Uu2 Ll2 U2 l2 U2 Ll2 Uu2 last U R' U' R

any questions comment/message
Complete v2

First and last time.
You can't edit it because it's closed...
EDIT:
And it's FRIDRICH.
And CORNERS.
 
No no no no no no no.

Never tell advanced cubers to follow Monkeydude1313's tutorials.

They suck. Literally.

They are fine for beginners, but for people who have cubed for a decent amount of time they are stupid and not educational.
 
Okay I just suggegested his video I watch a lot of different pols videos and I do think that MOST of his videos are mainly for beginners

I think I would know who his tutorials are meant for....... *cough*

HEY I average faster than MMAP and I watch a lot of tutorials on a lot of things so they aren't pacifically ment for every one. I average about 2min on the 4x4 preforably I think it's okay since I don't practice much

I know who he makes them for..... because I am him.
He is me.
And we are all together... (Beatles!)

On the serious side: My tutorials are meant for beginners, not for people who want to get fast at puzzles/advanced cubers.
 
@Jaysammey: How could you possibly know how to get extremely fast at the 4x4x4 when you only average 2 minutes?

He watches lots of tutorials!

lol :p

As an FYI to people out there, a vast majority of top cubers do not, and did not watch tutorials.

Not to say that you aren't allowed to be a top cuber if you watch tutorials.

I am inclined to agree with Robert, as I average less than this guy, and I majorly suck and don't practise 4x4x4 enough.

EDIT: ^ Not everyone's as special as you. My first solve was ~5 mins.
