I'm mainly focusing on the 4x4 Clock. I'm currently using the LBL method used by Dan and Mitchell. I also saw Stefan's method. I'm just wondering if there is a faster method anyone here uses or a comparison between the LBL and the Pochmann Centers First method.
 
4x4? Ugh. Noob. 5x5 is minimum if you wanna be cool.

About the methods: Remember, the fastest guy is always right. Which is me. So centers first for the win!

I haven't really put much thought into the "LBL" method. Getting the top row clocks aligned is simple, but then I'm screwed. How can I add more clocks while keeping the top row clocks aligned? I have no idea. And Mitchell's videos confuse me. I think he starts building the first two rows together, but it looks complicated.

Seriously, go to 5x5 right away. 4x4 is almost as annoying as 3x3.

I just solve a 15x15 using LBL. In LBL, you solve the second layer and then going back to the first layer. Centers first confuses me but I don't know why. I'll try it and see how it goes.

EDIT: I like the Centers First method but I solve the center edges while doing the centers. It's pretty fast and uses less moves.
