What method do you use for 4x4

Who's the cool Akimoto user?

 

[hic0057]

Yau is cool. I like using 7 pairing with it.

 

[Georgeanderre]

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

 

[miniGOINGS]

I use Meyer. Or at least something similar enough to it.

I wasn't sure whether to put reduction, or other...

Yea, I think I'll just put "Any other (please specify)".

I use Yau wuth 3-2-X edge pairing.
I accidently voted for K4.

I use Reduction and Syuhei's pairing method (3-6- (2 or 3) )

Anyone has a good method/tutorial for fast centers?

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?

The second step of K4 is a 1x3x4 block.
