Which 4x4 Method do you use?

[Akiro]

I'm using Reduction with 3-2-2-2-3 edge pairing.

Where do you learn Hoya?

Please excuse my unknowing, but what do the numbers mean? I've seen them before on others but idk what they mean.

It simply means the number of edges paired up at a time. For example, 6-2-2-2-2 must be a typo, because there are only 12 edges. So you set it up after the centers to pair up 6 edges at a time, and then 2 more, and 2 after that, until all the edges are done. A more common edge pairing method would be 32223.

I use reduction btw, 32223 on M-slice.

I don't know what method I use. I guess the way I learned 4x4 was from MM&P. I don't like that method. When I either put my 4x4 back together or get a new one, I'll be learning K4 and Yau. I especially don't know for sure what method I use since I've only solved a 4x4 twice.

i don't even do 4x4 really but if i did i'd probably right now use Redux into CFOP
i wanna learn OBLBL though

stanard reduction with m slice paring

 

[MichaelErskine]

I just use what I've always used: too stupid to learn new things!

Since, apparently I haven't posted in this thread yet(even though I voted on it a month ago), I use 4-4-2-2 CN Redux.

My Yau is incredibly inefficient. Instead of 32223 I'm more like 363 and I spend half a minute just looking for edges

Yau.

 

[NaeosPsy]

Yau with 6-3.

Redux with 2-2-2-2-2-2. Efficiency yo.

Redux into 3-2-2-2-3 and then roux!

How do you solve the first 8 edges with 4-4? Do you setup 2, slice, setup 2 more, and then slice back in a 6 pairing way?

 

[uberCuber]

One way to solve 4 is to set up one, slice to pair it, and then proceed with normal 3-pairing technique to result in a total of 4 solved after undoing the slice. Don't know for sure what he does, though.

Do you think that 4-4-2-2 is actually a good idea or are you simply trying to be different?

 

[Jaycee]

Now that I think about out 4422 might be better for me than what I already do because 222222 is inefficient imo and any 6 pairing takes too long because I look for pieces too much.

 

[Robert-Y]

How is 222222 inefficient? Can you show me some evidence?

 

[Escher]

I still use Nakaji method/freeslice... Solve 4 and store on U, z2, same again, then l4e.

Where do you learn Hoya?

I link to one of Brests reconstructions in this thread: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?38376-4x4-Hoya-method-single-26-59
Also there are some descriptions in it.

Thank you!
