Very nice!
Thanks!
Isn't that supposed to be yau7?
Nah, the method is called Yau5 because it was originally developed and used for 5x5; since I am using the same method without changing any steps or their order, I am still using "Yau5", just on a 7x7.
Excellent, more reason for me to stay with yau for 7x7. :)
:D
Good job! Why do you use so many thumb movements?
It's just how my finger tricks developed when using bad cubes back in the day. I am using them less now but getting rid of them entirely is a long process that may never end.

Awesome solve. I think the question "can Yau be world class on big cubes?" is answered.

Is that really a Yuxin like it says in the video description? Haven't seen one with black plastic yet.
Thanks! This solve had ~1:42 cross+centers, and I had a different solve with ~40 L8E+3x3 finish; while simply adding the two is a tad optimistic, it does show that 2:20s are theoretically possible. :)

Yes, it is a Yuxin - they sent me this one to test a few months ago. I'm not sure why they didn't release it together with the stickerless one, but they did tell me they would be out at some point (maybe soon, since they have started to release their bigger cubes in black recently).
