Hey guys...
Y'all are looking at the wrong cube. The real deal is here:

Here is my unboxing if anyone is interested. I do compare the pieces to a weilong and aolong v2.

Thanks for showing! It kind of scares me when you use the word scratchy, but I do love effortless fast turning cubes. I'm for sure getting it, and with some lube and tensioning it'll probably become my main!

It reminds me of a combo of a Aolong's feel and Weilong's turning

Oh, come on! Now that I had almost decided to buy a Yueying here comes Moyu and mixes the Weilong with the Aolong and also put some corner holes Liying-style for good measure to get me confused again This cube mixes what I like most of all the best Moyu cubes. Will I improve a 0.01 if I buy it? (just kidding). No, seriously, it's a temptation, really. The Gans 357 I bought last is too twisty for my taste.

Pretty sure the first one should've been DNF, not +2.

But it was just a U2.. That isn't a DNF is it?

I bought the Hualong from thecubicle last week. Personally, I love cubes that fly so the Hualong's turning speed is perfect for me. The overall feel of the cube is as the design implies, it is incredibly smooth and crispy, similar to the Aolong v2 with Weilong level speed. Interestingly enough, the design choice of giving it open corners creates a LiYing-esque sound when turning quickly. The cube is very loud and can at times be distracting. I cotton modded all of the pieces so it's not as bad as it was out of the box but it's still loud. Corner cutting is as good as advertised, cutting well more than 45 and reverse cutting line to line. Because of this, the cube rarely locks up and is very fluid. As with most other modern speed cubes, the Hualong has a very effective anti popping mechanism. In the 300 or so solves that I've done on the Hualong, it has only popped once and hasn't gotten a single corner twist. In fact, it's actually difficult to turn the corners. As I said before, the hollowed out corners give a hollow sound but the cube itself doesn't feel cheap. I haven't had any issues with the layers misaligning during solves. As great as this cube is, it really isn't any better than other speedcubes. At this moment in time, I find it hard to recommend buying speedcubes in general since so many of them have similar performances, with their only differences being in feelings. Still though, it's a great cube so anyone who is looking for a new main or is willing to spend the $16 dollars on it shouldn't hesitate to get it because it is, in my opinion, better than the similarly priced Aolong v2.

Oh, sorry! Looks like a 2 look I used to do, well even better

It's still a +2 following WCA regulations. It's only a DNF if 2 or more layers are off by more than 45 degrees.

That's what I thought too.

Can anyone comment on how this is compared to the Guangying
