If you use Yau, 3-2-3. 4-4 leaves nothing left... 3-2-3 is considered the best compromise between move count and awful case reduction (6-2 theoretically uses fewer moves, but you'll get awful cases far more often).

Yeah, what was I saying? I meant [3-3-whatever's left]. But I guess I'll try 3-2-3.

I need help on the last 4 edges on 4x4. I use reduction with free slice edge pairing. after i have 4 solved edges on the top, and 4 on the bottom, how do i quickly solve the last 4? Also, please don't tell me to switch to Yau.

Send me a picture of it.

switch to redux with 32223 edge pairing

oh i mean just in general; like how to get faster at last 4 edges

Soooo close to sub1 w/ yau, any tips?

Uh I intuitively got to last layer but I'm stuck what do I do here? Is this parody or something I didn't disassemble my cube or anything.

thanks in advance.

 

[Randomno]

K4 last layer. If you don't understand it just watch a Reduction video.

Okay thanks very much I just opened the box like a half our ago

 

[~Adam~]

Look into K4 to solve the last layer or the standard way beginners learn to solve 4x4 is with reduction. There are a few videos on YouTube about K4 and loads on reduction.

I hope this helps.

 

[OkinawaSolver]

I can't find anything about k4 and every time I get to last layer its fragmented like so

 

[theROUXbiksCube]

You can't find anything on K4 ehh?
Search masterofthebass K4 ELL
Or Justin Harder K4 ELL

And then just pick the alg that solves your case and do it.

 

[biscuit]

yau! Skip basic redux. How much flak am i going to get for this?

Are you trying to say that your edges aren't automatically paired up? Of course they aren't, it's a 4x4x4.

Solve the corners like you would on 3x3x3, and then ELL is here: http://snk.digibase.ca/k4/7.htm But if you want to keep doing solves, you should look into a reduction method, because it's way easier than something that leaves one layer for the end, and there are also many more tutorials on reduction.

Uh, doesn't your solver require a set of moves to bring you to the position you want to solve? I can't imagine he would get much use out of your program if he can't solve it at all

That website is incredibly helpful thanks

Okay I solved it once but edge pairing is very frustrating any tips?

 

[biscuit]

practice. You will get tips and tricks along the way. At first it is really hard and not very fun but eventually it gets better

 

[PJKCuber]

You forgot to finish edge pairing. You don't need to create a new thread for every question.

Thanks and sorry. Where do I go if I can't find a thread related to a problem im having. And sorry I'll look harder next time. I'll probably use the forum on my computer instead of the app maybe it'll be easier to search. No excuses though, I apologize for my inconvenience.
