Hoya Method is a 4x4 speedsolving method proposed by Jong-Ho Jeong. It can also be applied to bigger cubes. It's a sub-method of reduction (such as Yau).
Overview
- 1. Do 2 opposite centers (not U/D ones).
- 2. Solve D center and an adjacent one (not U).
- 3. Solve the 4 dedges of the cross using the two scrambled centers (cross edge step).
- 4. Finish cross and last two centers.
- 5. Solve the remaining dedges.
- 6. Solve as a 3x3x3 (Cross should already be done).
- 7. Solve the 4x4x4 parities.
Pros
- Easy edgepairing
- Cross is already done when you start the 3x3 part
Cons
- Centers are a little bit harder.
Notable users
- Jong-Ho Jeong
- Rudy Reynolds (uses K4 but is faster with Hoya)
