could someone explain to me what the Yau5 method is?
and give me somewhere i can find a tutorial or something

I think I use Yau5 (not 100% sure), here are my steps
1. Opposite centers
2. Pair and insert 3 cross edges
3. Last 4 centers
4. Pair all F2L-pairs
5. insert two adjacent F2L pairs
6. Use open slots to build LL edges
7. Finish 3x3

Can anyone verify that this is Yau5, I based it off of Jay's walkthroughs.

If you get multiple +2s in a single solve, do the +2s stack with each other (so you get +4, +8 etc) or can you only get one +2 in a solve?

Yes, they stack.

 

[guysensei1]

Yes, they stack.

Someone should get the max number of +2s possible in a single solve.

Thom Barlow did during Pyra shortly after stacking was introduced.

How many +2s was that?

8? +16 iirc,
I'm sure I'll be corrected quickly if I'm wrong.

Starting and stopping timer incorrectly +4
Face off +2
Puzzle on timer at start +2
Touching puzzle at beginning and end +4
Over 15 sec inspection +2
Touch puzzle before judge has finished inspecting it +2

Have I missed anything?

Your's is similar. Yau5 would be, 1. Two opposite centers 2. 3 cross edges, all correct or one mispermuted 3. Finish centers 4. Do last cross edge
5. Edge pairing 6. finish F2L and LL like a 3x3.

Bindedsa's should be the correct yau5 steps (or close to correct), except that he missed the last cross edge, probably something he just missed
Rocky0701's step 4 doesn't make sense since edges are still unpaired, if he meant to pair those first, it's not yau5, but yau4 instead

Any good tutorials for CPEOLL recognition? Should I just recognize it based on the top colors of the corners, like COLL recognition?

Bump I've asked this a couple of times, it always gets overridden by another question or is at the bottom of a page lol

What do most people average who go to competitions?

What do most people average who go to competitions?

Someone can correct me if they know the actual average but competition averages pretty much range from 6 sec to over 2 minutes. It just depends on the competition and what the cut-off times are. At the competitions I've been to (not including nationals and worlds) the bulk of cubers average between 13 sec to 35 sec. Of course there are plenty of people who average above 35 sec but I feel most competitors at the comps I've been to average between that. But in all honestly it doesn't really matter. If someone is deciding whether or not to go to a competition I usually just tell them to check the cut-off time and go if they average below it.

I edited a little, but isn't Yau5 just normal 4x4 Yau applied to 5x5?

No, it's a different method, hence the different name.

Oh. Can you link a tutorial then please?

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Oh. Can you link a tutorial then please?

It is similar except you solve 4 of the last 8 edges, then insert two f2l pairs in the back then solve the rest of the edges using the front two slots. There really aren't any tutorials for it.

 

[TDM]

Oh. Can you link a tutorial then please?

I can't find one, and I don't actually know it so I can't give you the exact steps, but there are plenty of walkthrough solves on YouTube. I would watch those and try to learn the substeps and which order they are in. Sorry, that's the best I can give you.

 

[Rocky0701]

Ok, thanks guys!

I would just recognise the OLLCP.
