Nah I'm alright, I'm applying tips from the 6x6 thread I made that @Dylan K provided.
Thanks though!
Alrighty. Hopefully you do good and get sub-4 soon!
IK you aid no tips but this might really help. One thing that made me so much better was that I basically did big cube FMC and determined what was the best way to form bars and blocks. Also, edge pairing lookahead is very hard on 6 and 7. I use redux, so what I do to help with lookahead is that sometimes I load one layer with completed edges and then have only one other layer where edges could be. Also, never build edges to save, especially on 5x5. Try to complete one edge, but if there's some better/easier, do that while finding pieces for the last edge you were working on, and then solve the edge you started with.

Forgot to reply here haha
In using Yau, I find lookahead a lot easier and nicer to use versus Redux. I thought about (and tried) switching to Redux for a short while, and found that I don't enjoy it near as much, and lookahead is severely hindered.
I appreciate the tips though!
 
Sub Dylan K 5x5 single, nice! I find it quite crazy that you have a 1:04 single with a PB ao5 of 1:26 as my PB ao5 was a 1:14 when I got my 1:05. Keep up the great work! :)
The thing was the way the edges showed up in the front (JPerm had this happen to him once)
Also it is now 1:22
 
Sub-5 7x7 ao12 with Yau?!!
