Until now I haven't really practiced much on the 4x4 so I'm still pretty slow. What's your 4x4 average?

You're alot faster than me.but you shouldn't use cubetimer, it gives weird scrambles alot of them are way to easy.

I hand scrambled it lol. I don't usually use computer scrambles at home since they take way too long.

I feel you bro, especially 5x5 scrambles.

You should start scrambling using generators like the ones on qqTimer, csTimer, etc. This way, you'll get a variety of cases because it is easy to go into a pattern when you hand scramble, and at the same time, avoiding people who complains that the solve is not legit. The easiest way is to buy a 7x7 and do those, and 4x4 scrambles will seem effortless.

You're probably right. I generally try to scramble my cubes in the same sort of style that computer generated scrambles do instead of having a pattern (like crazybadcubers 3x3 scrambles) though. I try to include random moves from all over the place with no particular pattern so that it basically has the same feel as when I'm using a generated scramble. If I ever do get really fast though, I'll be using computer generated scrambles in videos so ppl will know the solves are legit.

And thx for the tip. I imagine a 4x4 scramble would feel like a piece of cake after reading a bunch of 7x7 scrambles!

Sorry that I can't really give you any constructive comments on your solve, because my average is only about 60-70 seconds

Tips:

- Practice. A lot. Seriously.
- Do your first 3 cross edges with cross on left. No exceptions.
- Use this edge pairing method, the one that you use is bad (from what I can tell).
- Use this OLL parity algorithm (alg in the comments), the one that you use it bad.

Good luck! 4x4 is the best event!

Edit: Also, you should probably get a Moyu Aosu.

I suddenly have so much respect for you!

Wow thanks a lot! Yeah the edge pairing method I was using is a sloppy version of 6 cycle edge pairing (I think that's what it's called). 3-2-3 looks a lot more simple and easy. I think I'll start using it from now on. I guess it's a good thing I'm still fairly new to 4x4 because it won't be that hard to adjust to a new method for edge pairing. The OLL parity alg looks easier than the one I'm using but I can't really tell what what it was from the video you gave (he did it in sub 3 seconds lol). Can you tell me what the alg was or give me a link?

Edit: Yeah for the most part the Aosu looks to be the most popular 4x4 out there so I'll definitely be getting one soon.

Edit 2: Never mind about giving me the algorithm. I didn't notice before that the guy posted it in the comments.

No problem! Glad I could be helpful.
