Help 7x7x7

Hello can anyone give me a link of tutorial on 7x7x7 ? I cant find a good one. And is there any speedsolving method for 7x7x7 ? Please give me some tips Thans

This link has many of the big cube methods and corresponding links.Try all those methods and choose the method which is suitable for you: http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Big_Cube_methods

Oh there's no 7x7x7 method there

 

[ILMZS20]

just use reduction. its the main method for 5x5 and up and it is really easy to do actually. you first build the centers, then the edges then 3x3 stage. but you should really know how that works before you go to the 7x7. so yeah, use reduction and you shoud have no problems when you have already done a 5x5 or 6x6 or so before. if you havent then just go to youtube and type in 7x7 turorial, there should be enough tutorials its really not that hard to understand.

Those are methods which can be used to solve any big cubes.You have to understand the concept of the methods and use it to 7x7x7.

Oh really ? Im interested in Z4 because it is ZZ and it is my main in 3x3. But do you think 4x4 method can be applied in 7x7 ?

No one has come up with ZZ for 7x7x7.If you already know Z4 and you can solve a 4x4x4 with Z4, you can try to solve 7x7x7 using ZZ.

I know i can solve it by zz but i need to do the (reduction??). Well can you give me a link that has the basic of solving the 7x7x7 ? Then i'll go back to that methods. By the way do you know how to solve a 7x7x7 ? What method do you use ?

 

[RR]

Hello I'm gonna ask one question again. What is the best method to use in 7x7x7 ? and 5x5x5 ?

Reduction. No argument.

 

[RR]

Oh really even in 5x5 ?

Sorry. I meant to go back and fix that. 5x5 yau and Hoya are pretty good and getting close to same times as reduction. But 7x7, almost everyone uses reduction.

Yau and Hoya are reduction methods to be exact I recommend Yau for 4x4 and, when you got used to it, maybe Yau for 5x5 as well.

 

[RR]

I don't want to solve a 4x4 My interest is 5x5 ad 7x7. So I should use both reduction method ?

Just as CFOP is an LBL method.

Lets learn to run before I can crawl.

Lets learn to run before I can crawl.

I got a 5x5 before a 4x4. It's not a bad way to learn. The centers on 4x4 when you are used to 5x5 are so easy.

Learn reduction. 4x4 is good to do first because of parity. L2E cases aren't parity. People say they are but they're not.

 

[EMI]

Just as CFOP is an LBL method.

Depends on your definition, because you don't seperately solve the first two layers. If you solved 4x4 with LBL or Cage, you propably wouldn't call it reduction (because you don't reduce it to a 2x2 or 3x3 cube, of course you always reduce to something).

6x6:
I avg like 5:40 or so (maybe a little faster when my hands aren't so cold).
I usually do centers in 2:15-2:30. I am usually done with F8E at 4:15 and done with edges at about 5 then the rest is 3x3 stage and parity. So like 2:20-2:40-40. What is the worst part of my solve? Any tips for improving? I average 16-17 on 3x3 btw.
