How I Solve Centers on 4x4x4 BLD

[siva.shanmukh]

but...I still have some problems with ones like this:

Ubr -> Dfl -> Ufl

how am I going to solve that?

did you try (l' F u2 F' l) U2 (l' F u2 F' l) U2?

thanks mike! I just got into 3x3 bld and am borrowing a friends 5x5 so I thought, hey why not try that... and the edges seemed easy... but then I got to the centers. lol and had no idea how to tackle that beast. So thanks a ton!!!

Isn't it the same just like the 2 x 2? I use the same algorithms and it works

I really want to learn this and I prefer written tutorials,but this is 4 years old.I'm sure a lot of stuff wud have been updated and advanced methods must have come,so is this tutorial really worth reading now in May 2011? Or this method is still decently fast.

I still solve this way. I can get sub-7 times fairly regularly with it, and the primary reason I'm still slow is because I'm slow at wings; my centers are much faster than my wings.

The improvement that goes beyond this is simply to go straight for BH centers. That's superior - it will cut off a move or two per pair, on average. But it's a pretty minor difference.

This tutorial isn't outdated at all.

Commutators are not outdated. And they never will be.

I suggest you rephrase your requests in the future. You will get little help if you sound like a lazy a$$. What will become of you when youtube is gone? Seriously.
