Big Cube BLD Discussion

My order is
Memo:
+ centres
x centres
wings
middle edges
corners

Execute:
corners
+ centres
x centres
wings
edge parity
middle edges
corner parity

So I basically execute in the same order as I memo apart from corners. I find I don't have much problem recalling any particular set any more than the others, because they're all being memoed for the same amount of time. I've been thinking about switching some stuff to be backwards so that it will be fairly short term - possibly making middle edge execution straight after corners, but I think I'd then get problems with non-centre-safe algs (for m-slice pieces). As it is, I'm happy enough.

I have a bigcubebld-related question too...I use r2 for wings, and do the really slow way of doing the l-slice wings (moving to UBl using l-slice, then flipping the edge using B' U R' B U', r2, flip edge back, then undo first move). I hate doing this because I can't even turn the algs fast and I'm sure they're extremely inefficient. Is there any way of doing these pieces (presumably paired with the next/previous piece) without using on-the-fly comms?
 
BLD big cubes is amazing. My only question : can anyone do it, or you must be an authist to memo so many cubes?!

I did 222 BLD in less than an hour. I watched a tutorial for 333 BLD, but did not have the time to attempt the solve. I'm scared for the 3x3x3 already :P
 
For 5^3 BLD, I use the following order:

Memo:
midges orientation
midges permutation
wings
centers (+ and x together)
corners orientation
corners permutation

Execution:
corners orientation
corners permutation
midges orientation
midges permutation
wings (including parity)
centers (+ and x together)
corners/midges parity

Since I tend to forget to execute the corners/midges parity at the end, I will probably switch to executing it during the midges permutation. The fact that it messes up one unsolved center is not a problem as long as I keep track of it (with a slignt adaptation of my 4^3 corners parity alg, I get a J-perm on corners+midges which has as a side effect a J-perm on the U center).
