[19:07] <kinch2002> So...the next Yau revolution starts

I think people will perhaps struggle to adapt to this a little more than Yau4, given how much tps you can already get in freeslice already. I got a couple of seconds from my freeslice and AVG times fairly quicker but then plateaued.

Robert is just too good at this...

Hey Robert, great average. Would you mind doing some exemple solves, so that we can see your solving process ?
l'm hooked

 

[Robert-Y]

Hey, I will it's just I'm busy at the moment with revision for exams (although it might not appear to be the case ). I will hopefully find the time to make more videos towards the end of January.

Is there anywhere that explains how Yau edges are done on 5x5? I couldn't grasp it from the video and I doubt doing wings first then solving midges is efficient.

After you do cross plus centers, you solve the 4 tredges that belong in the first 2 layers with freeslice. You then solve 2 F2L pairs (Preferably adjactently). Then you solve the rest of the edges with 2 pairing and stuff.

Almost. The freeslice step doesn't have to be the 4 F2L tredges - it just has to be at least 2 F2L tredges (ready for the next step) and the rest can be LL tredges

 

[Robert-Y]

Yep, I can confirm this Ottozing is right, but then a few weeks back, I made some small changes to the method. However I do tend to just go for the 4 F2L tredges a lot of the time because that means I will have more choices for solving the first 2 F2L pairs afterwards. In case anyone is wondering, the first 2 F2L pairs don't need to be adjacent because in the case in which they are opposite to each other, you can simply do one setup move to form a pseudo XXcross and finish pairing the last 4 tredges (using FL and FR as your pairing space)
