Where can I get a SS 4x4 v3? All of the stores I can find only have v4s. Can I have a link?
Thanks =)

Edit: nvm I found one, speedsolving puzzle shop. lol why didn't I look there

Can someone link me to a video on how to do the last 4 centers on a 4x4 with yau method? I realize it is intuitive, but a video would be good about tips for the last 4 centers.

Um... it's the exact same as regular L4C, just do Rww (3R) moves instead of rotations.

Search for "Yau walkthrough" on youtube. There are like thousands of them on youtube, haha.

The turning is really weird, it can be tighter than a Rubik's but after 2 solves it's so loose it starts popping. And it looks like there aren't any springs in them. It is pretty smooth though, around the same as a Shengshou.

does it pop every solve?

im stuck

im been doing the cube a few week doing simple F2l but i have been getting this and have scrambled and redone the cube but still end with this.

i can not seem to put it in the correct spot.

 

[ben1996123]

impossible, take it out and put it back solved.

 

[TiTch]

ok thanks will do that tomorrow, never taken my cube apart :/ zhanchi will look up videos. Thanks anyway.

 

[speedpicker]

You can probably just grab the corner and twist it back to its correct orientation. In all probability this happened by accident when you were scrambling or solving anyway.

I need better finger tricks. Where can I learn them?

by practising and figuring them out yourself

Watch fast people solve, then try to recreate what they do.
Also... jskyler91. Done.

Well you could watch all the other fast people execute like felik's, 5bld, and nakajima

Yes, I know. I just think that jskyler91's fingertricks are pretty amazing. Obviously for me (4x4 addict) they aren't 100% copyable, but they are still nice to try to learn from. anyway, that comment was partially sarcastic (in re to the amazing conversation on the fakeness of his recent avg12). So yeah.

anybody have any good algs for last two edges on 6x6 and/or 7x7

(specifically thinking about this case, but any algs would be great cause i only know the ones transferable from 5x5.)

Also if anyone has a good pure parity alg that isn't the really annoying, long one, it would be greatly appreciated. edit: or a parity alg that flips the inner wing edges on 7x7

bump?

For that case, I would probably just do z y 3u' R U R' F R' F' R 3u then parity since it's not so complicated.
If nobody here has an answer, you might want to poke around the Big Cube Thread, but I don't know of any databases of 6x6x6/7x7x7 algs around.

As for your parity problem, I usually just do the same alg I use for regular parity but with inner slices only. It's not as fast as with double-layer slices, but it's still better than doing the alg twice. idk if that's the best way to do it; that's just how I do it.

Oh! Could you share how you achieved sub-30?

Like ben said, practice.

My splits:

Cross: 2-3 seconds
F2L: 8-9 seconds
OLL: 2-3
PLL: 3-5

These are somewhat approximate. Check out my youtube channel for a couple of my ao5's or something like that. I was really lazy for awhile and stayed with 4LLL until I was averaging 23-25 seconds, then I slowly started learning PLL. And by slowly, I mean like 2 or 3 algs a month, at most. xD I still need to learn my N and G perms.

I can sub-15 pretty easily with 4LLL:
F2L: 7
OLL: 4
PLL: 4

Do you use intuitive or alg based F2L? I will cry the day I can get 7 seconds on F2L consistently.
