Hi! Can I join in? I'm not good at 4x4 yet, but I would like to be! I use both reduction and Kenneth's https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Kenneth's_Big_Cubes_Method but I don't like to stick to either one too strictly. With Kenneth's I'll usually build the last 4 edges irrespective of permutation and then just OLL/PLL, and with reduction I just build all the centers at the same time, instead of focusing on one and then moving to the next. I make lots of 1x2 blocks wherever I can and then connect them :3

I also have a question, although this may not be the place to ask it (sorry if that's the case). What are the rough equivalencies of the basic 3x3 benchmarks in regards to 4x4?
Like, sub 8 in 3x3 is like sub 30 in 4x4 (I think), but what about sub 15, 20, 30 and 1?
