12:10 couldn’t you do something similar to that one 4x4 case? So pair the yellow green edges, replace it with a random unsolved edge, then do Uw2 and Dw2, which will pair up pink and yellow, then replace that with the last edge. Isn’t that the most efficient?
Do the magnets really help during the 3x3 stage? When I'm solving the 3x3, the middle slices move and gets annoying lol. Btw, great Yau videos. Been watching whenever they're posted :D
really nice edges, though I really think you can be quite more efficient on centers. For instance, when doing your second bar, try to use 1 B move to take in a back center edge instead of 4 extra moves for 2 in front, or some of the bad cases can be solved more efficiently. I'm nothing amazing at 5x5 but if you want to see what I mean let's talk about some specifics sometime
hey chris, 3x3 f2l case no rotation, fast alg... this is the beginner second layer builder but better! alg:F',R,U,R'U',R',F,R. Just reverse it if you didnt get the desc of the case
From 6x6 to 9x9, I can solve centers, edges and cross with Yau about equally fast, if not faster than centers and edges without cross using reduction. Probably due to the fact that I used Yau from the start of 5x5, and I'm bad at looking ahead edges on the bigger cubes while I have a lot of experience pairing 3 cross edges and accommodating a 3/4 cross on my left when solving centers.
Ok, this is 2 years too late but this is the best yau 5 example video I have come across by far!!!
2012 chris: 2x2
2015 chris: 3x3
2018 chris: 5x5
Trexrush 2019 chris plz do 6x6
Trexrush lol so true
The Physicist Cuber wait until 2012.
2021*
Tixta II lol
Nice finally got some example solves....
excited for more
I'm currently average between 2:10 and 2:25 , hope this video will help me break my sub 2 barrier
Nice video Crhis! I have been looking for one of these for a while because I've seen Mats use it!

Hey Chris, I ordered one of Sarah's custom shirts, watch out for me at gateway!
How do you be sub 15 on 3x3 chris? I average around mid 15. I don't know full OLL yet. what should i do to get faster?

Vikas Javed I think magnets have been one of the largest improvements in 5x5. I don't even know why. But when I first tried a magnetic 5x5 I loved it.
cyotheking thanks for the reply ! And got it :) I might opt in for the magnetized version. Solving 5x5 has always been my favorite!
Chris, what’s your opinion on lubicle black? And is it better than Traxxas 30k?
really nice edges, though I really think you can be quite more efficient on centers. For instance, when doing your second bar, try to use 1 B move to take in a back center edge instead of 4 extra moves for 2 in front, or some of the bad cases can be solved more efficiently.

Sure! Centers are absolutely my worst part of 5x5. Let's chat sometime.
Do 2x2 example solves please
I am a big fan of u
Chris please make some proper tutorials for improving in 5x5 i am too getting into 5x5 like many other people now that might help
1:41 i think that it was easier to du r U' r' and insert
Nice vid and what is your favourite event
dumb cuber 5x5 :)
cyotheking Who would have guessed
cyotheking please do a qna
hey chris, 3x3 f2l case no rotation, fast alg... this is the beginner second layer builder but better! alg:F',R,U,R'U',R',F,R.

Thanks
4:13
last 2 edges =last 2 centers 😂
Ajit Kumar a good one
Awesome
2:19 Don't you mean, "took weilong to find"😂
Not sure about that, but it definitely took yulong to think of that joke😁
Whhaat?!!! You have 2 cubicle wushuang m's😱😱😱
1:31 Rw U2 Rw2' F Rw
Kevin Min love it!! Thank you :)
cool video! ( i don't do 5x5 )
Reduction is the optimal 5x5 method
Hi chris
nice
Great, I really admire Yau5, but I am better at redux
Woah, just got into bigger cubes huh?
Do you think Yau is better than Redux?
Still not sub me. Lol. For the first solve, last white bar, do m u m' or something like that
Brandon Nunez I could see that too. I normally use that on L4C so I'm not sure why I didn't here.
Second
Edit: no i'm third :'(
Charlie Harrison actually fourth
actually iy
Ew why do you have pink lol
why am i watching this, i dont even have a 5x5
17th comment
Lol last solve
Hey cyotheking
“Pin me”!
First
Do you use this for 6x6 and 7x7?
I don't. I think it is objectively worse after 5x5.
From 6x6 to 9x9, I can solve centers, edges and cross with Yau about equally fast, if not faster than centers and edges without cross using reduction. Probably due to the fact that I used Yau from the start of 5x5, and I'm bad at looking ahead edges on the bigger cubes while I have a lot of experience pairing 3 cross edges and accommodating a 3/4 cross on my left when solving centers.
Nice
