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.
