[Help Thread] 4x4 Discussion

honestly just doing solves should get you to sub 2:00 pretty quick. Then you can learn Yau, and go from there.

he knows Yau my man

oh yeah I should have read the thread. Then in that case just keep solving until you're at least 1:30

 

[CodingCuber]

I average 1:45 on 4x4 with redux and just learnt Yau and am averaging around 2:30 but i only just started. The best strategy is probably to just practice heaps.

And learn Yau... just sayin'

lol I have 2 sub-1 singles with redux.

yeah I know I did. That's what I'm saying is that you need to learn yau

without 3-2-3?

 

[EvanTheCuber]

Im not doing 3-2-3 yet but im sub 4 now

 

[EvanTheCuber]

I have trouble making the Green Red Blue and Orange centers. Those take me 2 minutes. Any tips to improve those?

I mean I can consistently get sub 40s (maybe sub 45s) with redux. It's just better in the long run to use Yau

do untimed solves and turn super slowly so you can learn how they move.

 

[EvanTheCuber]

got a sub 2 minute solve. new pb

 

[EvanTheCuber]

what 4x4s do you guys use?

 

[Micah Morrison]

what 4x4s do you guys use?

I use the Aosu WR M, I think the MGC 4x4 is really good, and it's half the price

 

[ProStar]

I also use the Aosu WRM

 

[Sub1Hour]

what 4x4s do you guys use?

I use the GTS2 Since my hands are big but the MGC 4x4 looks extremely good based on testers and stuff, Its 60 mm (same size as the valk 4) so if you want something small but not too small the MGC would be your best bet but I don't have it yet (as soon as TC comes out with pro shop versions ill get it)

 

[EvanTheCuber]

Ok, from now on, I'm going to post a05s or ao7s of my 4x4 times
btw i use the mystic gts 2m.

inners are quite slow actually..

Anything specific I can do to improve my cross edges(Yau)?

 

[EvanTheCuber]

I don't know if you should listen to me, as I am 1:45 average, but helped drop my time by 45 seconds was not doing the 3 white cross edges and skipping to the 4 other centers. This is for me, but when I work on the 4 middle centers, I always mess up the cross edges, so that's why I just solve all of the edges after I finish the centers.

Stop doing that. Trust me, it's worse than Yau. I did that for a while since it was quicker and when I switched it took a while. It's slower right now since you're not used to it, but please use normal Yau right now, it'll save you a lot of headache in the end.

Ok Thanks
