Ok I did one solve with normal redux but the other 11 with Yau
Sub-40! And as far as I know the fastest avg of 12 on youtube.

 

[Escher]

Didn't realise you were still practising and stuff, awesome

How long have you been using Yau as your main method?

Come to a 2012 UK comp pls :3

 

[Kirjava]

Holy balls sub 40.

Is this your pb?

 

[masterofthebass]

I told you so...

 

[Erik]

@ Escher: 2 weeks
@ Kirjava: dunno
@ Masterofthebass: you surely did! Thx for your support. This is only the start.

 

[CRO]

Whoa, that was nice

 

[collinbxyz]

Everyone I know IRL (at comps) uses redux, except for me.
Nice avg, what cube are you using? dayan+mf8 is so huge for twelve year old hands

 

[mr6768]

you guys think Yau can be faster than redux ?
got the potential ?
Erik are you going to prove that by some new WR ?!

 

[Kirjava]

you guys think Yau can be faster than redux ?

Yes.

Also, straight redux can be faster than yau.

 

[Hershey]

Yes.

Also, straight redux can be faster than yau.

Straight redux? What is the difference between "straight redux" and "redux"?

 

[Kirjava]

Straight redux? What is the difference between "straight redux" and "redux"?

Nothing. I said straight redux to differenciate between "Classic Redux" and Yau-style redux.

 

[bamilan]

Why Yau?... Why not normal reduction?

 

[Erik]

Bamilan: I dont want to be boring just trying it out for fun really... but it turned out nicely. Next up: a sub-40 of 12 on video with redux?

 

[masterofthebass]

Why Yau?... Why not normal reduction?

yau is good.

It's not like Dan already got WR with yau multiple times or anything.

 

[bamilan]

But could you please explain, why is it better than redux?(only top pros, please)

 

[Escher]

But could you please explain, why is it better than redux?(only top pros, please)

Why is rice better than noodles?

Surely it should be obvious about the pros and cons of each if you are familiar with the both method ideas? And that in the end it is personal preference?

(I don't know if 46ish average with redux and sub 50 with Yau counts as top pro anymore ;_; )

 

[bamilan]

I really do know pros and cons, I average ~40-45 with both. But Yau is the slower method for me and just can't see why would it be faster.
I need a "confirmation" that it is faster and it worth to change.

 

[Goosly]

It might be faster for one person, someone else might be faster with redux. It depends on the person.
So if you think Yau is the slower method for you, you should focus on redux.

 

[Weston]

I found Yau to be faster because I didn't have to look on the bottom of the cube during edge pairing anymore.
Also, I found the redux --> 3x3 solving transition to be a lot smoother since I wasn't used to making crosses without inspection.
