'''Yau Method''' is a 4x4 speedsolving method, but it can also be applied at bigger cubes.

== Overview ==

'''1'''. Solve 2 opposite centers and 3 of the cross dedges

'''2'''. Solve the remaining 4 centers

'''3'''. Complete the cross

'''4'''. Pair up the remaining dedges without messing up the cross

'''5'''. Solve [[F2L]] + [[LL]] (3x3)

== Pros ==

Easy edgepairing

Cross is already done when you start the 3x3 part

== Cons ==

It can be hard to find the 3 first crossdedges

Centers are a little bit harder.

== Notable Users ==
