Yau Method is a 4x4 speedsolving method proposed by Robert Yau. It can also be applied to bigger cubes.
Overview
1. Solve 2 opposite centers and 3 of the cross edges
2. Solve the remaining 4 centers
3. Complete the cross
4. Pair up the remaining edges without messing up the cross
5. Solve F2L + LL (3x3)
Pros
- Easy edge pairing
- Cross is almost completely done when you start the 3x3 part
Cons
- It can be hard to find the 3 first cross edges
- Centers are a little bit harder.
