Need Advice, how to judge a cube?

[~Phoenix Death~]

In my opinion the sticker quality and the smoothness aren't important. You need
Cornercutting, no lock ups and for a real speedsolve no pops and speed.

Why.

As long as you can recognize the colors and have a good grip on the cube, I don't see why it would.

What if I can't? Does that mean I can still speedsolve with my F-II blue stickers fading to white?

I meant: If you buy a cube you shouldn't look at the sticker. Because the first stickers on a cube are sometimes not very good.

Speed = skater on lake ice (may be bumpy, but super fast)
Smooth = Hot knife through butter (really smooth, but more resistance)

So what you're saying is that you can't have a cube that's both smooth and fast.

Why shouldn't I look at the stickers?

is quite difficult to solve without looking at stickers unless is braille cube :3

I think he means, if you buy a cube, the sticker shouldn't be your main concern.

Not, "when you cube, don't look at the sticker."

Sure you can; skating an ice rink

I was just differentiating between the two terms.

Or a hot Skater in butter.
