4x4 Edge Pairing

[Tall5001]

If I'm not mistaken, what you describe is 6-3-1-2

yeah that lol i think! im not really sure

 

[vcuber13]

why wouldnt you do 3 at the end? its a lot quicker

idk its hard to explain because i usually end up with 3 so i take one out and then do the 3 at the same time with no parity so slice, insert pair the right way, undo slice and its all done

 

[Vinny]

I'm gonna start doing 2-2-2-2-1-3 or 2-2-2-2-2-2

You should try 1-1-1-1(Cross) 3-3-2.

 

[Kirjava]

You should try 1-1-1-1(Cross) 3-3-2.

This seems silly.

I might try the cross idea, but when I try to do 3's, I take too much time sitting there.

My worst part of the solve is the transition from edges to cross, so that would probably benefit me.

 

[emolover]

This seems silly.

You dont have to franticly look for the cross and take like 5 seconds on it the way most people do.

 

[vcuber13]

you obviously dont know too much about him

You're wasting moves by not doing Yau.

 

[Rpotts]

yea it becomes hard to preserve the cross while doing the rest of the edges. Just do Yau.

But thats what I do, a modified version of Yau. I get all of the centers first instead of 2.

 

[Kirjava]

The whole point of yau is that you save moves by pairing some edges before the centres are complete.

You end up doing more moves when having to use only Rw r R and U. It seems that way at least.

It isn't.

Ok, D f' r2 B' D' F D U2 F' U2 R F2 L2 r2 B2 U' B' F' r2 L2 D' B' u U' L' F B2 L' f' u' L F2 f' u' D' r' B2 f2 D2 r' solve centres, write down the solution. I'll then solve first 2 centres the same, then the rest of the centres without destroying the LF LD LB edges, and we'll see how many moves it wastes. FYI I had a 62 move Yaudux a while ago, 2 unnamed people, (Faz and pappas ) didn't believe me, so I did 77 and 76 right there, in the way I'd solve it (You get lucky quite often in Yau). Their reductions took over 100 moves, and then they had to make the cross. I think they're best attempts was 86 moves. You barely waste any moves. And counting STM obviously.

How do you make 3 pairs? I can do it if it is the last 3, but how do you do 3-3-3-3?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out myself. Misalign before any pairs are made then realign to make 3 pairs!

 

[CubicNL]

I do pretty much freestyle pairing, I just pair what I see..

 

[cityzach]

i do 2-2-2-2-2-2.
