    You taught me how to solve a 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 and beyond.
    I will happily admit you got me through lockdown here in the UK by opening up the world of speedcubing.
    You break things down so well, but when you got onto commutators you absolutely destroyed my mind.
    I still use the beginners method, but I'm working on it, to be fair I was 35 when I started and I'm 38 now, so it's a little harder for things to get into my head these days ha ha
    Thank you.

    I've become obsessed with doing it this way. This has been great commutator practice, and the f2l/fl/f4b has become a lot simpler and less daunting than how you did it here.
    F2L algs covers all the corners and edge pieces for the first 4 blocks, keeping what you've solved at the bottom and repositioning them in optimal positions to continue solving. Putting the centers in place I found was easiest after first making them face the bottom and using 2 slice moves (assuming a desired center piece was somewhere along the sides).

    Reduction to 2x2 is my favorite way of slow solving a 4x4, I do it completely intuitively and don't need to worry about parity. Even the ugly case you got I solve intuitively. After the bottom layer 2x2 blocks are built the top layer 2x2s are built doing nothing more than R'D'RD and turning U and swapping positions of 2x2 blocks.
    But if I really feel masochistic I go for a layer by layer solve of the 4x4, first 3 layers are easy, last layer is challenging.

    I tried this once too although I did it a different way and like you said, you get to a certain point and realize how pointless it is. If you are manually placing specific pieces in specific places, you might as well just put them where they belong. The way I did it was a more brute force method where I solved it like a 4x4 supercube where I assigned a specific corner to each corner position based on where the corners were at the beginning of the solve. In the first stages of solving the centres I had to do it without shifting any of the corner's relative positions or rotations because those were my reference points. Once I finished the centres I used them as my new anchors. It was such a pain because if you accidentally rotate one of the centres it is really hard to notice until it's too late.

But I'm excited. I'll try to solve it on my own, I'm sure that I will have to look up the method to solve it on UA-cam, and I'll for sure look at one of your videos to solve the cube if i can't solve it on my own. And I do have nearly four months of experience with a 3x3 cube.

    Like you said, instead of reducing to 2x2 it's instead possible to solve the pieces into correct spots right away, one by one. The resulting method would still be a bizarre and laborious 4x4 layer by layer with unnecessary piece order restrictions. You did it the hard way, congrats.

    Sometimes you need a corner swap for the final 2 corner groups... this is a good process for the AI bandaged 4x4 cubes
    To fix parity you simply use false equivalency of centers to correct.

    I remember when I got my Rubik's 4x4 (this was was probably around 13 or 14 years ago). It came with a solve guide that taught solving the all of the edges and corners (partially using commutators) first and then solving the centers using commutators. When I got it all memorized, a good solve was probably around 7-8 minutes. Then I got the Rubik's 5x5, and basically applied the same methods, having to come up with something for middle pieces. I think 15-20 was probably around my average then. Long story short that method sucked, and also I never want to touch my Rubik's brand 5x5 ever again.

    Before watching you try to solve it as a 2x2, I assumed it was based upon how you can move pieces around.
    You can move the centre pieces around without mixing up already "solved" ones, but that disturbs the edges.
    Then you can fix up the edges without distubring the "solved" centre.
    I assumed that trying to solve both the centre and the edge and corner at the same time to make the larger corner would be much harder.
    There is also the question of if attempting to do so would result in an impossible to solve state due to picking the wrong 2x2 setup.
