5x5+ Advanced Methods: Free Slice | Reduction & Yau5

Both Reduction and Yau5 are great methods with similar potential on 5x5. Differences listed below:

Reduction (centers - edges - 3x3):
easy to do color neutral centers
much faster centers
is arguably better than yau5 on cubes 6x6 and up

Yau5 (centers & cross - edges - 3x3):
similar to 4x4 yau method
easier look ahead during edge pairing
avoids turning the cube upside down
much faster 3x3 stage
restricted to 2 cross colors unless you are color neutral for 3x3
