One's just an extremely overpriced lube job. The other is an overpriced lube job plus a mod that does very little on a zhanchi. I'm sure both are decent cubes if you don't mind spending significantly more than you have to.
I have a florian and Konsta modded v5 SS 4x4. Two of them actually, and they are both way better than anything unmodded. One cuts at about 40 degrees.
Two things. First, you can definitely over mod. It's a very real possibility. Considering how much better a fully modded cube is over a...
Umm...what?
This is the entire thread in two sentences: Feet solvers like feet. Everyone else hates it.
This almost never happens for other events. I don't solve BLD or 7x7 or megaminx. I still fully enjoy those events, and see their value. I don't solve feet, and I genuinely dislike it...
Leave it the way it is!
Edit - I personally prefer lower case to w's. Much less cluttered.
Amazing idea, and I'm so glad it is being implemented. I'd love it if there was a focus not only on fast solves, but other methods as well. Plus, a way to differentiate between the different types of...
Everyone still does use CFOP. Roux's presence is pretty high on this forum, but in comps, any method other than CFOP is extremely rare. I would guess there were more beginner's method solves at world's this year than any other non-CFOP method. If anything, this makes me believe that Roux has a...
I love this style of video. The commentary is nice, and it's good to objectively analyze your own solves. The fact that you do this should make you loads better in no time.
Your cross definitely needs the most work. You're fast enough that you should be planning the whole cross within 15...
I don't see how this proves that how much you practice isn't as important as how you practice. That's how much they practice NOW. Once you achieve a certain skill level it takes much less work to retain those skills then it does to originally achieve them. Mats used to practice 2 hours a day...
I'm glad someone finally did a blind test. However, I have something like ~6 zhanchis and they all feel different to the point that I could identify each of them without looking at them. I'm sure that if I took 2 of them and then told people that one of them was an "OP" zhanchi, they would...
And then after you select 4x4 edge pairing what do you want to pop up? Are you planning to write up a tutorial for every single puzzle now? Or is it simply going to link to some 3rd party site (in which case, why have the app)?
Your expectations are becoming less and less clear. Originally it...
It would help to know which cube you're actually using. But in my opinion, 4x4 begins and ends with the SS. If it doesn't "feel good" in your hands then there really isn't a lot that can be done. The SS is already on the smaller side for a 4x4. There is a mini type c, but it's tiny. Smaller than...
This thread announcing this new cube was only posted three days ago. The lack of feedback is due to a lack of cubes in people's hands. Not lack of threads asking for reviews.
In my opinion, of the speed cubes I own, the Panshi comes in last. I would put the zhanchi, guhong, weilong, shuangren, and huanying in the top class. All those cubes are definitely worth buying. Next the lingyun, which is very fast and hard to control, but can be amazing for some people. Then...
I would start over from the very beginning for F2L. Watch bedmephisto's tutorials, learn the 3 main ways that edges and corners are paired and inserted. Once those are clear, start utilizing them in your solves, using just your intuition and your knowledge of the basic methods for pairing and...
I started learning F2L basically the same day I learned a beginner's method (may have been the following day, I don't remember). I got bored of the beginner's method really fast. In my opinion, if you're still enjoying the beginner's method, then stick with it. If it's starting to feel...
First, my response wasn't meant directly towards you, but to people coming from out of the country in general. So I apologize if it seemed as a pointed criticism. However, in response to your post, no, I didn't miss those two words, that for some reason, you believe absolves everything else you...
This is a topic I thought about posting previously, but chose not to because I was pleased to see that most people posting from outside of the US were keen on learning the appropriate way to tip.
This is exactly why a lot of servers don't like waiting on foreigners. They aren't expected to...
