Poll: Should I make a sub X series on 4x4?

[BoBoGuy]

Well, should I and why? If more votes say yes, I will start at sub 3:00 and go down to sub-2#0, sub 2, sub 1:30, sub 1:15, sub-1, and sub 50. Possibly sub 45 too.

I could use a sub-1:15. Though I'm sure practice would help.

Yeah. and lookahead. That's basically what I'm going to do for my sub-45 video if i make it.

... only if you go on with sub 35 and sub 30

What happened to sub 40?

 

[Rubiks560]

Personally I think if someone does this they should be a bit more experienced.

I would start much lower. If people can't get sub 3 after 50 solves on 4x4, probably no tip can get them there. Start with maybe sub 1.

Why? He got on his first competition a score that took you a few years of experience. He might have a secret ingredient for all of us

Ehh that being said Chris started competing when he was still a MAJOR nub rather than someone like my level, who is only partially nub.

I don't think you should make a series like this unless you avg like 5... I just don't think that anybody slower will have the perspective to really explain everything fully.

Also, improving on 4x4 is SO much more general than on 2x2, because the solve is so much longer.

Yoshi gets me.

This was my first thought. I'm not sure you could really come up with all that many distinct things to say for each category to prevent the videos from being rather vague.

I am no natural at cubing and especially 4X4. It took me more than 6 months for become sub 3 minutes. I recently had my first sub 2. I really wish I could get that golden tip to become better at 4X4.

My 56 year old Dad who is far more intelligent than me has been cubing since 2010 and has done at least 300 or so 3x3 solves in that time (using intuitive F2L) and averages about 1 minute 30 on 3x3 so don't feel bad just because kclejeune is a dick.

I'm afraid you are wrong - Step 1: Switch to Yau
Seriously though, sub 3 and even sub 2 is easy for me, but I can't get sub 1 average

I'm sorry, I honestly didn't mean to come across as derogatory or negative. That being said, there really isn't a magic tip for 4x4. It's just "Practice". It's what you've done, and it worked. I apologize if I came across as attempting to put down you or anyone else here.

Like I said, I'm not going to chew you out for attempting to make me seem like an ass. I simply made a typo. I tried to type 500, iPhone keyboards are stupid. I simply said that because from what I've found with 4x4, there really isn't some magic tip. So please calm down, I didn't intend to diss Marcel, your father, or anyone else in these forums. Apparently I came across that way, so I'm sorry.

Fine. Step 1: Pick a method. After that, it's honestly just practice! I was on and off sub 2 because I had a mediocre 4x4 and I didn't practice it much. I started practicing and I finally chose a "real" 4x4 method a few weeks ago when I got my WeiSu, now I'm almost sub 1. There is no magic tip. Any advice that can be given for sub 1 will almost surely apply to those trying to make sub 2 or sub 3.

Don't worry, I know you a bit and was not in the least offended by you or anything in this topic.

That's a relief! Thank you

Who are you and why should I care about your videos to achieve times you don't even seem capable of?
