How did you know it was solved without seeing the back? On my last official attempt I had 2 swapped centers that I couldn't see from the front. Well, only noobs like me make those kind of mistakes ofcourse.

I didn't. I thought about that two seconds later, which is why I went back and checked the other sides. Fortunately they were solved too.

Nice! You sound exhausted haha.

GJ success on first try. Which tutorial did you use?

It's his first try? Unless he told you that I doubt it was because even 3BLD took me like 10 tries to get.

Thanks! And yeah, I do a bit...

GJ success on first try. Which tutorial did you use?

I didn't use a tutorial for most of it. I invented my centres method (used wide T perm to swap pieces with Ubr being my buffer), used r2 edges which I knew was very similar to M2 (I looked at kinch's tutorial for the l/r slice pieces, but once I saw l-slice pieces were setup to BU -> flip -> M2 -> flip -> undo setup, I started used my own flipping alg. r slice pieces were the same as M2, which was nice), and corners were done with OP.
I did have some help from a couple of people though. Thanks to those people (kinch again, Cale, tseitsei).

I didn't find learning 4BLD very hard at all. If you can do 3 cubes multi, it's less than the step up from 3x3 to 4x4. The only hard things were knowing whether or not you've memorised all the wings, and knowing which wings you hadn't memorised. That last one is definitely a challenge. I'd finished memo in around 13 minutes, but spent an extra 4 minutes going through and seeing whether or not I'd missed any pieces, since I'd only counted 22 letters in my memo. There was one edge I already knew was solved, but I found another solved edge too, which explained the missing letters.

He said so in the blind accomplishment thread

First 4BLD attempt: 24:13.73. Success. On cam, will upload soon hopefully.

Ah, ok. Congrats man! Also, that is very good for your first attempt.

 

[PJKCuber]

WOW

 

[Berd]

Super Gj!

Nice. So many T-perms Still better than my first method, I used the parity alg to solve all the edges.

Ouch! Painful

That sounds painful Did you not know M2?

No ^^ I just wanted a success, but it turned out to take ~ 20 attempts.
