4x4x4 Methods other than reduction..?

[Todd]

Is there any websites that actually have well documented 4x4x4 methods other than reduction?

Akimoto has got one, pretty Ok but the algs could be shorter. Kirjava has got his K4. (Use Google to find the pages).

I got a method much like Kirjavas but better optimised I think and also algs for all LL-situations, he use mostly commutators. Bad thing is I have no web page describing it.

But I have thinking of making some example solves where I start from a scramble and write out the moves for each step and also comments what I do. (It's needed, F3L is intuitive and has got some rather special passages hard to understand from plain text).

Maybe I have the energy to make at least one example later today or tomorrow, if so I will post it in this thread, wait for that =)

For LL both me and Kirjava uses CLL and edge cycles. I have divided all LL edges into three ELL steps and got short algs for all of them, browse the Y-group and look for a thread from this summer named "ELL for 4x4x4" or something like that and you will find all my ELL's listed there.

Search a little for a cage tutorial too

Interesting..

Atm i can get to 'PLL' if you would call it that, and i can put the corners in place but i always get stuck with edges because i dont know what to do with them..

Well, I guess there are not many tutorials about this that are for regular 4x4x4, but you can look for commutators in general, or for 4x4x4_bf commutators.
