[Unofficial] X-Cube 4x4 solved in 40.65 - D-Bone

[DavidWoner]

This cube got a lot better after I cleaned it. Even if you file the flash from the mold it still generates an insane amount of dust internally, and after ~25 solves too. I'll probably clean it again tomorrow. For how good it is (not great yet) after only having it a few hours I'd tentatively say that it was worth the money. Assembling wasn't hard, my second assembly took 15 minutes. Cubesmith stickers, I couldn't stand the darkness of the red it came with, though the blue and green looked like they might have been nice. I'll post more about it over the next couple days, if I can get my mic working I'll do some talking about what I've done to it so far, and some tips for assembly.

Purchased from the puzzleaddictions.com preorder. Like Dan's mine was shipped out Friday evening (the day Izovire got them) and arrived today, so pretty good shipping time.

And yeah. Sorry about no sound.

Nice!
Looks like an awful amount of solves in the average.
What cube did you use before this? I think depending on the cube the transition is different for eveyone, because it feels so different.

Oh those aren't all 4x4. It's just a random qqtimer session I have going at the moment, there's only about 50 4x4 solves there. I was using a crappy maru before this, so I haven't practiced in a while.

That was the slowest 40 second solve on a 4x4x4

nice u perm.

you really should learn the RU u perms with solved edge in front.

 

[izovire]

niice!

I should practice 4x4 cause I suck!

Was checking for parity. I would have done the R' U one if I had known it was Uperm at that moment. To be honest I was kind of hoping it was parity as I was doing OLL, since I knew it would have been pure, which is faster than U. That's probably why I did the rotation straight away instead of tilting.

 

[Rpotts]

oya, makes sense.

 

[Weston]

I believe I played a part in you finally learning those U perms.

 

[DavidWoner]

I actually only know that one. I do U optimal U' for the other. (suck it)

BUT WHAT ABOUT FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT, OH?
