The Meyer Thread (4x4 Reduction Sub-Method)

do you guys just use 3-2-3 edge pairing as in Yau for edge pairing? if not, then how do you pair edges?

Yes, I use 3-2-3. Watch the video above to see exactly how I do it.

when I get some more time I will.

when I get some more time I will.

anyway, when I have 2 pairs left, and theyre opposite each other, will the standard Yau alg Uw' R U R' F R' F' R Uw preserve the first block?
or do you use a different alg for that kind of thing?

also, sometimes I do 3-2-3, but more often I do 2 pair chain or just single pair(cause Im a nub)

Yes, I use that alg. It will preserve the first block if you do edge pairing the same way I do (rotate y' x' and have FB on back bottom).

okay, thanks.
the alg I used to use was D R F' U R' F D', and it sucked.
thanks participants of this thread for the 3-flip parity alg, It is very useful when recognizing bad edges!

I feel like trying a few solves with Shadowslice-meyer, it seems to have serious potential... IDK though, I have gotten 1:08 with a 4x4 direct roux solving method similar to Kenneths big cubes method and stadler Method, but different from both

buuuuuump.
What do you guys do for the UL/DF edge when edge pairing? do you solve it first like Mollerz describes? or do you solve it during 3-2-3?
