Tips for being sub 1 on 4x4?

[BirdCubing]

Hi everyone!
I average around sub 15 on 3x3 and want to become sub 1 on 4x4. I average around 1:15
Do any of you have any tips?
Thanks!

If you don't you Yau, you probably should. To get any farther than sub1, Yau is essential. I would also recommend learning 3-2-3 edge pairing.

Yeah I know both of those

Well, if you know yau and 3-2-3, then it's just a matter of practice and watching example solves. Eventually you will be sub-1.

depends on what 3x3 stage you use, from what i found out. (i dont practice 4x4 much anymore)
pair suggestions:
CFOP+Yau
Roux+Meyer
ZZ+Hoya
Any edge style is viable, as long as it isnt edge-by-edge (the single alg)

Roux+redux

I think Roux+Meyer is a better combination.

never heard of meyer
ill look into it

Basically Yau for Roux.

Start like Yau with two opposite centers.
Then make a first block similar to 3 cross edges on Yau.
Solve Remaining Centers
Pair remaining Edges
Do Roux, with the first block already done.
I believe you do OLL Parity before CMLL if needed.
And PLL parity is toward the end of LSE iirc.

I see, i also just watched a tutorial on it before i read this post, i changed it to fit more.
i was not aware of it, thanks!
