Said k4 but it all depends, if I see easy centres or harder edged I will use yau/redux

But the first 3 steps of K4 and Yau are the same.

Advantages of Yau:
- First 3 edges are less moves, since centers aren't solved.
- The pairing after the cross is made is stupid easy, since you can ignore one side of the cube entirely.
- Cross is done when you get to 3x3 stage
- Can get ridiculously easy solves with the right luck.

Disadvantages
- Last 4 centers take longer.
- Getting good at first 3 edges takes more practice.
- Getting lots of 2 cycles during pairs suuuccckkkksss

Did I miss anything?
