Ah ok, that's pretty much the same with me for Roux. But with K4/Yau I also know what my opposite centre colours but it didn't help that much with building cross. For some reason, cross building is kinda difficult compared with just solving centres alone. I'm still just slightly better with white, red, green, and yellow, than blue and orange. I rely on knowing many centre triplets like white-blue-red or white-green-orange to help me.

EDIT: Also for megaminx, sometimes multiple centre caps pop off, leaving me completely screwed for a duration of the solve XD

very, very, VERY close to pb 2x2 ao100 :|
 
I actually think OBLBL could be better than Yau, because the edge pairing becomes a lot easier. Also after the 3x3x4 block + cross has been formed, we can almost completely ignore B and D. We (obviously) don't even need to look at BL or BR slots for F3L pieces since the BL and BR pairs have already been made and they occupy those positions :D

Edge pairing with Yau can go wrong and can ruin your flow sometimes. For example in Feliks' official 26.75 world record solve. This is probably the only thing which I dislike about Yau.

I think faster 4x4x4 cubers should try this method out.

I hate Yau edge pairing so much <3

The only problem I have with OBLBL is that I suck really bad at building a 1x3x4 >_>
 
Same, but I changed the way I do it. I just solve the rest of the centres, then insert 2 FD/BD wings and comm the remaining 2 FD/BD wings. Afterwards, solve the last cross piece and place it, and then chain pairing, FOP finish
 
Oh ya, I just remembered the main reason I actually opened this thread in the first place a half hour ago...

My accomplishment is that I didn't explode into pieces when I checked the mail after school today and my Megaminx wasn't there. xD Based on how fast I've gotten my 3 other packages from the Cubicle, if my thing wasn't here today it should definitely be here tomorrow :D
