Is it true that there's a SS 4x4 V4 if so then what are the differences from the other 3 versions?

Yes, they made a small change but didn't advertise it, so people have just started calling the new V3s V4. I think the only difference is that the centre pieces don't have stalks anymore, but I'm not sure if that has any noticeable effect.

I have Standard Cubesmith Textured Tiles, and the red and orange can be hard to distinguish sometimes, what type of orange shade should i get? Fluorescent Orange or Light Orange?

Here are some pictures:

The internals also have been rounded off a little

Paper or glue

Don't use glue. Paper looks kinda bad. What I do is take a 1/2" long piece of clear tape and stick one edge into the corner created by the outer flare and wrap it around to the middle. Basically the part that goes into the centerpiece has a little strip of tape on it. You can do it on the opposite side if that does not work well enough.

I would post a pic but for some reason I cannot. I hope you are able understand.

[uberCuber]

he asked for a corner sticker in which case it does matter(UFL and ULF are on different faces)

lolwut
If the order of the last two letters mattered, you would be able to refer to 6 different stickers on the same corner piece! O :O !!!)

For specifying a sticker on a piece, people use the first letter of the name to say which face they are talking about.
UFL (or ULF) = U face sticker
FUL (or FLU) = F face sticker
LFU (or LUF) = L face sticker

Someone should definitely add that to the UWR page on the wiki.

I added Dans YouTube single along with some other things that should be there.

I have a modded v3 and a modded v4, and the v3 is much better. The v4 feels a little more 'solid' though so maybe once it is really worn in it might be much better.

qqwref has a 6:2x I think, wouldn't be surprised if someone has a sub 6.

My modded V4 is louder and faster than my V3.

I think it's usually just called CLL.

 

[CoryThigpen]

I got in such a habit of doing Ortega that it wasn't until yesterday I figured I could simply perform CLL on cases where the bottom layer is solved. Thanks for the help... found my way over to Anthony's site for good algs.
