Yeah I do yellow sometimes. Maybe like 1/4 of the time. I mosly do white though. For F2C I am truly nuetral.For Yau, is there any advantage in being y2 neutral and sometimes forming opposite color cross dedges? Or have you guys seen it be more advantageous to just stick with one cross color. I'm just as fast after redux since I dual-cross on 3x3, so thats not an issue
Or Hoya! Or K4!Switch to yau and go for sub 1:40 or 1:30 for now.
I'm around 2:00-2:15 with 4x4 (reduction + 2 edge pairing). I haven't practiced much so far because 3x3 is my forte and favorite. Currently, I am learning yau. Should I be trying to learn anything else? I'm working on my look-ahead currently.
If you want to use Yau for 4x4, which most fast people do, then you don't need colour neutrality, only two opposite colours at most. I think most people use one cross colour for Yau and Feliks uses 2, so full CN isn't necessary.Ugh.. trying to be color neutral with making centers for 4x4.. Not sure if this is needed to get faster, but I'm trying it anyway.. Would the color neutrality game (rolling a 1x1 and solving that center) help?
Yau, but if you're a beginner, you might want to learn reduction first, because it's easier. However, once you know it, Yau is very easy to learn: you just change the order of the steps.What is the fastest method for solving 4x4s?
If you use coll on a 4x4, you have a greater chance of being able to solve the edges in one step (even if there's parity) but sometimes there will be four misplaced edges and parity. Is there a set of algorithms to solve these cases in one step?
Nothing more than you need to know for reduction.How many algorithms do you need to know for the Yau Method?
