so I never understood why people prefer odd cubes vs even cubes.
they said odd cubes didn't have reduction parity.
now that I got all wca NxN and solved them a few times I understand.
in fact all big cubes have reduction parity, but as I see now, the difference is that on even cubes, you will normally see the parity when you are on last layer.
if you didn't do opa, you will encounter parity problems in the last layer.
for odd cubes, during edge pairing you will have parity, and you can solve it straight away, that's because parity don't affect midges, just like 3x3 edges. so it's noticiable during edge pairing.
and you won't have 2 edges swap like on even cubes.
so as I see odd cubes have reduction parity but it's easier to deal than even cubes, so no need for poll and ppll. yay
tl;dr - big even cubes: parody during LL if no opa. big odd cubes: no parody after reduction. I can't even
is that right?
