Yu Da-Hyun method
From Speedsolving.com Wiki
|
The Yu Da-Hyun method or Yu Da-Hyun order is a variant of the Westlund method for solving the Megaminx by Yu Da-Hyun, former Megaminx WR single and average holder. The main difference to the Westlund method is that the Last Layer is not opposite the first layer.

Steps
- Choose one partially solved face and solve the two star edges that touch the F2L.
- Insert three pairs in the three slots you have created to solve the face you chose.
- Choose an adjacent face and insert the edge touching the F2L to create two slots and insert the respective pairs.
- Repeat the last step but on the face which is on top of the first two ones you solved.
- Solve one of the two remaining faces.
- Solve the Last Layer.
Pros
- Since the blocks are built next to each other instead of being placed separately, the solver slowly removes blindspots and therefore improves lookahead.
- Because of the pairs, this approach is easy to learn for 3x3 solvers who know the popular CFOP method.
Cons
- Because of the lack of blockbuilding and being required to solve in a specified order, the solver is not always able to be efficient and take advantage of lucky cases.
