I used to do a really bad method with a 4LLL(I still use 4LLL but with F2L) and I was averaging mid-30s with it...so...don't put down 4LLL...though you do skip a step quite often...and if you try you can skip even more...I'm gunna learn PLL and the 2 more OLL cases I need to make a 3LLL (sometimes I end up doign a 5LLL)
