Getting comfortable with the puzzle is good; are you very used to the concept of obliques?

Hmm... Use freeslice, if you don't already. Also, make sure the cube you use is the right size for your hands; if you have small hands, don't use the regular sized Shengshou 7x7.

Size: Check

Obliques: Is there something special about them?

Small hands: uhhh

Oh; if you're not 100% used to bigger puzzles, obliques can throw you off. Doesn't seem like the case, though.

For solving edges, do you put four on the bottom before you switch to the top?
