It looks like your looking ahead on centres and centres-dedges need to be improved.Critique please?
Ok, cool thanks!It looks like your looking ahead on centres and centres-dedges need to be improved.
I don't see anything else.
You're welcome.Ok, cool thanks!
I don't see it either :/https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~dadams/hoya/ doesn't seem to show the cases anymore since a while (at least for me). Is it just me or is it the same for y'all?
Wow! VVGJAlso 1:18 official avg and 1:08 single in 5x5 with the method. 32 4x4 single too (i don't practice 4x4). I don't solve individual complete cross edge pieces at once. i solve whatever piece i see first.
It's been down for a few months.https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~dadams/hoya/ doesn't seem to show the cases anymore since a while (at least for me). Is it just me or is it the same for y'all?

Nooo ;_:It's been down for a few months.
I would probably say your cross edges tbh but I'm no expert.Hey I want to improve at 4x4, here are my splits:
F4C: 8-10
Cross edges: 16-18
L2C: 2-3
3-2-3: 15(Not so sure)
3x3: 12-15
Full solve: 58-1:02
Where could I get faster?
I kinda wish I could see what was going on from your POV, just to get a better view of the Hoya steps. All in all, I'd say that looked just fine. As for specific observations:Here is a 55 second solve at MCC Alpha. I'm doing 6-2 for edges. I have an awkward slice thingy during the final two centers and think I just need to do (F L) then solve the centers more freely instead of just doing (F) and slicing. Any tips for me?
It looks like my splits were
F4C: 9
Cross Edges: 11
L2C: 5
6-2: 14
3x3: 16
Niiiiiiiiiice!
Almost all of the time, I do Opposites for my first 2 centers... but Jong-Ho actually does adjacent centers. And every once in a while, the White face is just too good not to start with it, so I'll do adjacent centers. So as with most things, it comes down to what you're used to and what you practice.That's what I've been doing wrong. I thought the first step of Hoya was 2 adjacent centers. Duh, it makes sense 2 opp centers is faster.
I don't think I understand the question. During L2C, there are obviously only 2 centers left to build, and you could just throw that pair into the BR F2L slot with no problem. So I'm guessing that you're talking about something more complicated than that.What are your thoughts on co-centre building (building two centres at the same time) and (partial) edge pair preservation during L2Ce ?
I'm asking this because, I find myself doing that on 4x4-6x6 (I use Hoya on all three with a particular combination of 3x3 methods) and sometimes it does pay off in terms of move count (especially when the preserved edges are fully paired) but sometimes (especially when I try to preserve 2+ edge pairs) it feels like a waste of time and effort.
Apologies if it was already discussed on this thread.
