Generally speaking direct solving methods get worse as the cube size increases.

And another thing: If on an even layered cube, you placed the corners in a solvable position, is every combination of the other peices solvable?
Surely some people have good 6x6x6s, though, right? I mean, considering the tps some people get.Even I don't do this. 6x6x6 sucks to turn when it isn't on qCube.
Nope. Once you've got those 3 centers made, there's no way to pair edges other than the standard reduction style (2 or more at once). So this can't be more efficient than Reduction+Petrus, and will probably be worse, because the order of steps doesn't always let you take advantage of easy cases on future centers/edges.Would this be a good way to solve big-cubes:
3 centres around one corner
Pair the 3 edges + 1 corner to make a N-1xN-1xN-1 block
Finish centres
Pair up one CE pair so that only R&U are left to solve
Solve petrus-style 2-Gen stage
...such as lighting ones always being on the left
Lol, there's much more in solving centers last than just niklas niklas niklas. Learning to use 4-move comms and thus reducing the move couny by a lot allows to go much faster than you seem to think.Cage is pretty bad because of all the centre comms.

I forgot to mention that I'm also doing the same thing with PLL. a 1x3 block (Ja,Jb,F) always goes on the Left hand side (Except U-perms that are easy enough to spot and I solve from two orientations each anyway), 2x2 goes in UFL (I changed my A perms so that they fitted my V-Perm orientation, so I just place the block and know the PLL based on the stickers to either side of the block). All I need to do is redo my R-Perms (which I've never been happy with) so that they have headlights on the left and then they'll match up with my G-Perms.
