What method do you use for 4x4

[danthecuber]

Isn't Yau and reduction basically the same thing?

The accomplish the same thing, but have different ways of accomplishing it.

 

[TiLiMayor]

Reduction, ye. 6222

 

[waffle=ijm]

waffo redux yo.

 

[Mike Crozack]

redux! 2-2-2-2-2-2

The accomplish the same thing, but have different ways of accomplishing it.

every single 4x4 method in existence accomplishes the same thing in different ways.

 

[Systemdertoten]

Yau. Compensates my shitty big-cube look-ahead.

 

[caseyd]

does anyone have a yau tutorial? becaus eId really like to learn

 

[Systemdertoten]

Reduction, do 3 edges then wing it from there.

 

[Andreaillest]

6-2-2-2. Redux.

What exactly is the point of yau? (I'm not trying to criticize the method, I honestly want to know). It seems like you go through a lot of effort just to have a pre-solved cross at the 3x3 step. I haven't really tried yau a ton though, although I've done a few solves using yau, so I might just not be getting the point of the method.

Lolno?

lolyes!

He meant that they both reduce the cube to a 3x3x3 (I think).

 

[Systemdertoten]

Let's just say Yau is a variant of reduction.

 

[caseyd]

an awesome variant

The point of the variation is that pairing edges before centres are complete takes less moves.

Yau is like partial edge control (from CFOP) for redux. You're still doing redux.

Indeed.

 

[EricReese]

Its essentially reduction, but the cross is solved when beginning 3x3 stage

Yau is a combination of reduction and K4, they are two separate methods.
