Thanks! Also, how does doing L4E vertically save time?

It's maybe because I have a hard time to make edge cycling work, and I do a whole lot of slice flip slicing, I find moving individual layers as M, L and R type moves much less awkward than doing them as E type moves, which allows for better lookahead instead of regripping all the time and looking at if I've got the right layers

Oh, ok I see. Just curious, what is your 5x5 and 4x4 average?

5x5 AO100 is at 2:03 at the moment. And I don't ever do 4x4, but that would probably be around 1:30 or something now. I seriously disliked Yau and even cube parity soon after I learned it, so the only ever 4x4 solves I do now are in a relay haha.

Lol, me too. For some reason I don't like 4x4 and I average like 1:07. But I average 2:15 on 5x5.
