When did you get this good at 4x4?

When did you get this good at 4x4?

I'm not lol, I average about 58 I'm really inconsistent though, singles can be anywhere between 50 and 1:05.

Sounds similar to me. I am averaging 54 and am very inconsistent. When I got my PB of 40.75, the next solve was a sup 70. What's you SD? Mine is about 4.5 usually.

I don't remember any of my SQ1 PBs, so ill call these PBs.

You are really patient. Especially on the 20x20x20.

Larger cubes are my preference. I just need to find a good way to work on the last two centers (white+red in my case), and then it's all set..

Edit: New best for 13x13x13: 48.76 minutes, 1st sub-50 solve. Link here

Rubiks cube one handed

PB ao5 : (14.85), 10.44, (9.39), 10.86, 9.60 =10.30
with skip pll on 2nd solve

full result : 13.90 ao50

Spoiler: times

13.48, 13.62, 13.79, 14.85, 10.44, 9.39, 10.86, 9.60, 14.34, 13.41, 11.11, 13.59, 13.45, 14.66, 17.86, 13.85, 14.26, 15.15, 15.05, 15.10, 14.70, 12.98, 13.01, 12.68, 14.35, 14.27, 14.35, 13.26, 14.32, 13.09, 17.83, 12.92, 14.20, 19.28, 14.11, 14.32, 13.77, 16.39, 14.40, 13.56, 13.71, 12.36, 14.36, 12.01, 16.11, 13.06, 16.15, 12.04, 16.69, 13.98

Honestly, I don't believe in this. Your last competition was month ago, you did 17.31 ao5, your official PB is 15.69 and now you do 13.90 ao50? And that 10.30, UWR by 0.7, this is just impossible.

Often people don't do their best in competition. Also, when you said UWR you should have said Sub-WR.

What Noah said. Take a look at this.

I didn't say that he should have done his best, but if his ao50 is 13.90 now, I suppose that one month ago it was about 14.5, so he should have done sub15 (or low 15) average easily. And I meant UWR, not sub-WR, because previous UWR was 11.06 or sth like this.

But, OK, after seing two 9s in a row in video uberCuber sent, I can believe in that 10.30 ao5.

Larger cubes are my preference. I just need to find a good way to work on the last two centers (white+red in my case), and then it's all set..

For the last two centers you can build a surprisingly large proportion of the pieces intuitively, without any commutators at all:

The method is basically this: suppose you have white (top) and red (front) remaining. First you build the centermost line of the red center and place it vertically. Then you have enough freedom just using U turns and turns of the layers to the right of that line to build the entire left half of red, one line at a time. When you're done, you can now build parts of lines using the remaining freedom (the unsolved part of the red face). You still have enough freedom to build one more full line, but then you have one less layer of free space and certain pieces may not be solvable, as seen in the picture. It keeps going like this until the last line, where you can only do Rw and U, and where you can only be sure of solving 3 pieces. So we can guarantee building all of the red pieces in the picture intuitively (and you may end up with some of the ones in the white space solved too). After that you just use commutators for the rest, which is pretty fast.

Hope this helps, I could make a video if you want.

Okay, cool. I'll practice on the smaller cubes (7x7x7 and 9x9x9) and see how it works out. I'll try to get back to you if I need some help with the method. I've been using the neat little commutator for about 10 months.
