K4 method

[V-te]

Hey Guys,
I used the search function and found nothing.
Ok, well I understand the concepts of 4x4 K4 method, execpt for the last layer.
I searched youtube and none of the videos explained the last layer.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this method, or knows some really good websites where I could learn this method.

I also saw a video of the method being applied to bigger cubes like 5x5-7x7. I think that with some commutators, This can be done too, but first I need to be able to solve using this method.

Any nice websites??

For K4 LL I use OLL-PLL-ELL instead of CLL-ELL. I use OLL PLL to solve corners and as many edges as I can, and then ELL is just like slice-only edge pairing. You only need a couple of algs, but rx's site is definitely the best place to get them.

Ok thanks. =)

updated^. this is why I used a dyndns because I knew I'd be moving my hosting around all the time.

the latest version will always be available at the easy to remember URL of http://kzx.ath.cx/

Also, if the ELL takes more than 3 algs - you're doing it wrong

sorry for the bump

EDIT: I've just realised that I never documented any special cases. I might do a page on them or something if anyone wants them, there are some nifty things you can do, like two 3-cycles at once, etc.

is it faster

i have a nice page for u with algs: http://web.comhem.se/solgrop/kub/4x4x4_PLL.htm

(not my page)
i first orient all pieces, than permute.
watch fallofshadows tutorials on U-tube

I was actually planning on making a tutorial for K4, in-depth, including going over all algorithms in F3L, and the LL edges, possibly going over COLL, whenever I get my cleffert's in. That should be in about 2 days.
