Big Cube BLD Discussion

4*4*4 BLD is interesting .

6x6x6 obliques frustrate me so much!

I'm treating them as + centers on 5BLD and solve them the same way: commutators.
1st I solve the ones clockwise from the adjacent corner, then 2nd I handle their neigbours.

While I typically do not have any problems with + centers in 5BLD these obliques freak me out.
I'm having a very hard time "seeing it" and keep making mistakes in moving the correct "E" slice.

Apart from the obvious "practice" is there anything I can do to get better at these darn pieces?

When solving first centers, imagine this picture:

     *
     *
      *
      *   ***
   *** ***
***   *
      *
       *
       *

In any cube rotation you can put this picture on the front or upper face, and the lines will point you your current obliques. When solving second centers, imagine symmetric picture.
