4x4x4 Method Survey

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

Hi guys!

Sorry if this thread has been made before, I wasn't able to find a similar thread.

With the recent increase in popularity (and dominance) of the Yau/Yau-C method for the 4x4x4, I wanted to find out what proportion of the cubers on Speedsolving use Yau/Reduction/Other to solve the 4x4x4.

I'd also like to find out the same proportion for the (current) top 25 4x4x4 cubers in the WCA. Your help in filling the blanks in much appreciated!

Sebastian Weyer (Germany) - Yau
Feliks Zemdegs (Australia) - Yau
Mats Valk (Netherlands) - Yau
Yu Nakajima (中島悠) (Japan) - Yau
Giovanni Contardi (Italy) - Yau
Asia Konvittayayotin (เอเชีย กรวิทย์โยธิน) (Thailand) - Reduction - Switching to Yau
Dan Cohen (USA) - Yau

Giovanni Contardi (Italy) - Yau
Asia Konvittayayotin (เอเชีย กรวิทย์โยธิน) (Thailand) - Reduction, but one solve of that average was with Yau
Kevin Costello III (USA) - Yau
Yu Sajima (佐島優) (Japan) - Yau
Stefano Bevacqua (Italy) - Reduction
Vincent Hartanto Utomo (Indonesia) - Reduction

Video evidence for these is/are available on each cuber's respective channel.

Reduction for me. I was fast once but I'm not anywhere near fast now

Kevin Costello III uses Yau (http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...ruction-thread&p=788838&viewfull=1#post788838), not sure if he switched though.

 

[Robert-Y]

Yau for me.

I'm kinda touched because it seems like you decided to include the top 25 so that I would be in that list :>

 

[Kaozty]

Richard apagar, YAU.

 

[ottozing]

Pretty sure Milan and Dario use Yau.

Reduction 4 ever!!

 

[Username]

I would use redux, but Edge pairing sucks compared to Yau

 

[BigGreen]

k4 is the best method.

 

[YddEd]

I use reduction but I'm working on K4

 

[cubernya]

Nipat Charoenpholphant uses Redux I believe
