What is the best 32223 tutorial for 4x4?

I find Rowe's tut most helpful. I think he didn't mention specifically 32223, but it is.

Wait, no, after rewatching it, I realise that it's not 32223. Let me find another one.

This one should be more accurate.

Really nice videos, I suddenly got an urge to start solving 4x4 again.
This way of solving seems so much simpler then the beginners guide I learned from. Intuitive solving is for me much more interesting and fun then learning algorithms.

Konsta + Florian mod should take care of that, i think
Is it better to use Yau or basic redux on cubes bigger than 4x4?

You don't actually need to mod it, just break it in a lot and it can be great too.
Reduction. Because the last four centers can be really limited without L, D, B and F turns, and the edge phase isn't really advantageous like the 4x4, because you can't just slice once and solve two pairs.

What's a common edge pairing method for Yau, I just sort of pair what I can see but sometimes it'll take a while.

I use 3-2-2-2-3 For yau (Basically shortened to 3-2-3). I slice Uw, Line up three edges, Slice Uw', Line up 2 Edges backwards, Slice Uw Line up last 3 edges, Uw'. Takes about 10 seconds for me

Q- Somebody please help me get sub5 barrier on 7x7.
I average 5:30 when going decent, splits are like 2:50(first 2 centers=1.05) - 2:10 - 30. First two parts can be 20 seconds up and down. 3x3 is so tough (maybe my hands are small)
I use a SS 7x7 (no mods or anything , just a little lubix to core)
I solve last 4 edges by doing a 5x5 L4E twice (except when i see some easy direct slice-flip-slice case)
What should be my rough splits to average around 4:50?
Also is there any directory or video showing good 7x7 specific stuff (like meep has 5x5 l2c and l2e algs). I feel extremely stupid when i do 2 parities to solve last edge at times

I can try to make one in a couple of days, but I'm not sure how it will work. I actually just learned it by myself. The hardest part is to understand the method. When you get the hang of it, it becomes really easy

I think I kinda get it, The first 3 edges are fine, but do you make the next two by carefully choosing what edges you replace the first three with, so that when you slice back you have made 2 more?

After you make cross(on bottom)
1. do a u or u' move, Then put 3 edges one by one so that when you slice back at the end of 3rd one, 3 would be solved
At this point There will be just one unsolved edge in E layer
2. Bring another one in front of it so that its one slice away from being paired. Slice -> insert an edge from top layer so that when you slice back it gets paired -> slice back
3. Repeat step 2

I split about 40-1:20-40(or more if parity) and avg 2:40 on 4x4.
What to improve on first?

Centers are fine, maybe a little more tps, but focus more on your edges. Keep looking ahead. I'd suggest watching WR material solves and try to look for tips and shortcuts yourself at this point.

Cyoubx did a good video today on 4x4. Otherwise practice
