I've been toying around with Yau on 555 a bit. I haven't found a decent way of solving the BL and BR tredges (You can tell by how inefficient my edge paring was, for that part). There are a few mistakes, I could have easily been sub 1:15 I think.
My cube has only only been lubed with maru lube and D39. I haven't even modded it.

I agree with what Jonny has said. This seems to be the case in my experience. But I think I can around 200 move solves on 555 with yau compared to Faz' 270... (HTM) (I haven't actually counted the number of moves in this particular solve though.)

I've tried columns first and OBLBL but I think they're quite difficult to get fast with on 555+... I watched your old columns first hi-games solve a few minutes ago. I doubt that I'll get anything close to 1:22 for a while
I dunno, I don't find it too difficult to get reasonably good times (by my standards anyway) - they just require different recognition than a build-centers/pair-edges method like Redux/Yau/K4/Meyer. (And that video really is old, I've done like 1:14 sim avg12 now )

I guess I should practise more with columns and oblbl.
