[Loser]

What about a "highest TPS count event" or something

Curvy copter would be good, but with a mechanical scrambler gigaminx would be better. Treat it like blind, with cumulative time limits and ranking by single.

8x8 and Mirror are boring. 2x2x3 is too fast. Kilominx would be cool, but I chose 2x3x3 because it is the most interesting.

Kilominx! They need to add some more megaminx type puzzles to the WCA roster.

Kilominx, 100%. It is literally a perfect candidate.

 

[2018AMSB02]

My top choices:
5. Magic
4. Speedscramble
3. Master Pyraminx
2. Kilominx
1. Redi Cube


I am strongly against adding any 3x3 shape or sticker mods.

Magic

I'm very positive that Magic might not get added in the near future

Mirror cube blindfolded without inspection or some form of relay e.g. 2-7 relay

Say it with me: K I L O M I N X!!!!!!!

This would actually be really interesting, because it would require cubers to call upon a sense other than their sight to solve the puzzle. It would require different types of recognition to be used, and may allow those who are blind to compete as well, with a bit more of a level playing field. I have done this before, and there is something much more satisfying about feeling a J-Perm or an AUF than seeing it. I think this would be a great addition.

Relays might be cool too. Idk what else to say about them.

Stop trying to tell me you wouldn't want a hypebeast flex war for WCA 13x13.

 

[Noblesuntzu]

I would be so down for a blind mirror solve...

 

[CornerCutter]

The original poll didn't have any of the popular options. Lol.

 

[freshcuber.de]

I would like to see a "real blindfolded" event: You solve a 3x3 blindfolded without eye-inspection.
Maybe it could be a Mirror Cube (the colored one to make scramble checking easy) or the Rubik's Touch Cube.

 

[CJCubing]

Vote for OTHER. Master Pyraminx, Kilominx, TeamBLD, or 4x4 OH < (maybe not) can be good candidates.

 

[aerocube]

i doubt they'll add new events any time soon,but if they were to i would want something new that doesn't borrow an existing method from anything
however,i'm not sure what that would be,so in the meantime i think mirror blocks BLD would be cool as the record could probably get to something not far from the 3x3 WR
only problem is there isn't really a standard type of mirror block cube so that would have to be figured out

So I like the idea of Kilominx but wouldn't gear cube be the best candidate?

 

[One Wheel]

I’ve mentioned a few variations on current events that I would like to see, but if we want something new the Curvy Copter seems like the best option. I would suggest that it be done with jumbling, though. On the one hand it’s a more interesting solve, and on the other hand if a competitor gets to a position that can’t be solved without jumbling it would be very difficult to judge whether the competitor put the puzzle in that position or if it was a misscramble.

Nope. Gear cube is a very easy event and wouldn't be hard at all to get great at, tbh. And not many people actually care about speed solving it. Kilominx would be the far better and more realistic option.
