5x5 walkthrough solve

Thanks Dan, I never knew how much you think/look ahead for your edges. It's nice to know how the current world champ solves :) Also, it was kinda weird watching how you do the centres. I thought I could predict what you were going to do, but most of the time, I was wrong. Even on the last two centres, I thought that since a 1x3 green block (on the green face) was already made, you would try and solve the green centre instead of white. Haha, there are many different approaches to solving centres :)

Yea how does he do it at those speeds???:D:D:D
 
Ah that explains why my centers blow so much. I could see what you did for most of it, but that trick you did with the yellow center was very fancy. I have every intention of learning that.

For me, I would have done l' U' r' F r l (F or F' (to prepare for the last 1x3 block insertion of the yellow centre)).

1. Create the 1x2 block + create 2x2 block
2. Join the two together to make a 2x3 block (well obviously lol)
 
I was surprised at how you did the last 2 centers, that is exactly how I would do it. I also liked the yellow center trick, did you come up with it on your own?

Look-ahead and thought process during edges is VERY impressive. Nice triggers on the OLL and PLL too, especially for being on a bigcube.
 
It helps me decide what to do faster. I sometimes mix up white and yellow, but I save the others for last. It just allows me to make quick decisions to solve pieces, instead of sitting around and trying to find good ones. It also allows me to take advantage of orientation stuff to have multiple edges "pre-made"
 
On a side note: I tend to take advantage of really obvious edges that aren't white/yellow. However in saying that Dan has better edges than me and he has a much better understanding of them than me.
 
I'm surprised that I actually have like the same method as you - I figured you'd use something more complicated I guess..
But your look ahead must just be amazing..

I'm sure there's some little tricks you've figured out though :o
