Does anybody really like 4x4?

[Reprobate]

I love 4x4, and all big cubes. Each one has its own unique quirks and elegant tricks, even if you use the same basic principles to solve them.

I dislike 4x4 but it's only because I'm sub 1 and OLL parity takes me 6 seconds.
10% is a painful amount of time to add to a solve on a coin flip.

lol, I can't wait until b0ssGuy23 sees this. But anyway, I use the YJ YuSu which pops occasionally, but other than that it's good. In terms of 4x4 in general, I find it fun, my 2nd favorite "big cube" (different people have different opinions on what counts as a big cube) after 6x6. It's definitely most fun for centers.

Lol, I can see why

anyway, 4x4 is my favorite event, despite me being slow at it. I use a Yuxin, getting a Mini AoSu very soon. The thing I like most about it is that it is SUPER fun, even for people that's bad ** at it. My favorite part is EP, for sure.

Which Alg do you use? If you use the regular Rw2 Bw2 U2... Alg then try switching to mine I do that one in like 6 probably but I switched to this one that I got to 3.5-4 with practice:

Rw U2 Rw U2' Rw' U2 Rw U2 Lw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 x' Rw' U2 Rw'

also try this PLL Alg just because its awesome:
r2 U2 r2 Uw2 r2 Uw2

I'll give them a go. Thanks.

I prefer:

OLL (~2.5 seconds average): Rw2' F2 Rw U2 Rw U2' x U2 Rw U2' Rw' U2 Rw U2' Rw2 U2' x'. Fewer moves and I can get a better TPS on it than the other alg.

PLL (don't know how fast I average, never timed it): Uw2 Rw2 U2 r2 U2 Rw2 Uw2. Fewer slice moves. I execute the r2 as R2 Rw2 so there are no slices.

Rw U2 Rw U2' Rw' U2 Rw U2 Lw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 x' Rw' U2 Rw'

Another tip: if you have only one good edge, put it on the right and do B' R' as a set up to this alg. Leaves you with a nice fast OCLL.

I use a mirror of that one:

Rw2 B2 Rw' U2 Rw' U2 x' U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw2 U2

PLL (don't know how fast I average, never timed it): Uw2 Rw2 U2 r2 U2 Rw2 Uw2. Fewer slice moves. I execute the r2 as R2 Rw2 so there are no slices.

I prefer that one, too. I'm not sure why so many people use the one with multiple slices. Fewer slices is better, especially on 6x6. IMHO

I really like 4x4.

Pizzabumpers rule!

 

[EasyCuber]

I kinda Like But If Were Talking The Old Rubiks 4x4 Than i would Burn Every 4x4 i own

 

[EasyCuber]

I still Have Nightmare Thinking about The Nonexisting Corner Cutting And Pops

Pointless bump.

I looooovvvveeee 4x4. At the end of my first stint solving puzzles I was way more into 4x4 than 3x3 and 2x2. Someone earlier from 2015 said it but what really sparked my interest in it was when I started getting sub 1min solves. Really felt good. Just got my first sub 1min average since cubing again and that was absolutely awesome. Still using Yau and my old moyu aosu!

Got that aosu gts2 m coming in the mail tomorrow and I hope it’s a little easier on my hands though haha. First magnetic cube for me! First stickerless one too.

That is the best 4x4 I have ever tried, it's been my main ever since I got it.
