4x4

Hi, Jack's here I got asked about why my Yau steps looks different than the others so I'll write down how the step goes for me Solve 2 opposite centers on L and R using mostly M, U and u, white on L for most of the cases Pair and insert 3 Dedges Solve left halves of the 3 centers first Solve...

Right now I average ~45 seconds on 4x4. Any advice or tips yall have that could get me faster?

I have no clue where to put this thread. As of late, I've been messing around with my 4x4x4, and tried restricting myself to only a limited moveset: Rw2, Fw2, Bw2, Lw2, and anything for U/D. For rotations you have to choose 2 colours to always keep on bottom/top, easiest choice is white/yellow...

I have a new 4x4 method that may intrigue solid 4x4 solvers...and only the best will win this challenge! So the idea is this, solve the first 2 centers, 3 edges(standard Yau approach) and then the last 4 centers. This is where you transition into JBOT(Jared Burkhart's Overkill Technique)and is...

Hey all! I’m looking to repurchase some old cubes. I used to have some original tiled 4x4, 5x5 and megaminx from Mefferts. Sadly i took off the tiles and used them with stickers when they were my main speedcubes. But now I would love have them again with tiles to display them. And I can’t find...

Hi, I’m Caleb (obviously), and this is my “official thread” for my own curated 4x4 method also known as Caleb Valenzuela’s Optimized Block (CVOB for short). It is heavily inspired by APB and OBLBL. Abbreviations that I use in the explanation: Overview The method is divided into 5 distinct...

I used to avg sub 1:30 with redux, and now I avg like sub 3 min :( is the transition usually like this or am I doing something wrong?

I can get to where all non-yellow edges are solved, as well as 2 yellow edges, but I can't get the last two, because they have the same color, so I try to pair it and it solves one but messes up another. Also, I can't seem to be able to memorize the OLL and PLL parity algs. I'm using JPerm's...

Helloooo. So after that incredibly quick race, I, @SpeedCubingLord and @THE_V01DL0RD are racing to a Sub 2:20 5x5 ao5. Here are my PBs, and what i think my avg is (i dont do 5x5 much but i like the event and want to get decent at it) (My pbs and average are likely inaccurate as i accidently...

I mase a big gamble, i signed up for Newcastle Summer 2025 in 4x4, and cutoff is 1:30 and time limit is 2:00. Im should be fine with the time limit (i avg like sub 2 rn) Basically, Id love some tips on how to get sub 1:30 (or even js sub 1:40/1:45, cause at least i have a higher chance of making...

I average around 45 secs and am struggling with lookahead. Any tips?

9/6/25 Thread created. Mainly for 4x4 as of now. Want to be at least sub 2 by July, hopefully sub 1:45 or better by July 12th. . Note - I use the Hoya method, with 3-2-3 edge pairing. Avg - sub 2:15 What should my time stamps be ? Btw i avg 21s on 3x3, about 32.5s at most if i get double...

Disaster.... I did the 2,3,4 relay comp thing and barely got sub 2 mins, just for me to turn my 4x4 around.

Looking to get my husband a few new cubes. He mainlines the Moyu V9 WRM v9 ballcore UV edition. We just have cheapies for 4x4 and 5x5 currently but he really likes the 5x5. I am looking at the Gan 562 M UV, and the Moyu Aochuang V6 Double or triple track. I'd also be interested in your favourite...
