Differences between 6x6 and 7x7

[GalPro]

Hi,
Do I need to learn to solve a 6x6 to solve a 7x7?
And which is more fun to solve?

because I'm soon buying a 5x5 and those cubes aren't cheap, so I thought about skipping the 6x6 and maximum buy it later

what do you think?

difference? a whole layer.

i went from 5x5x5 to 7x7x7.. then got a 6x6x6 after and i hate it's guts, haha

One whole layer off my 7x7x7 would make it a 6x7x7, yeah?

Ya from my thread, what people were generally saying is that there is no difference in difficulty between the two, the 7x7 just takes longer. However, the 7x7 is supposedly much better in quality and build.

Can I solve the 7x7 without learning a 6x6?
and which is more fun to solve ?

Q1: Yes

Q2: I don't have a 6x6, but my 7x7 is very fun to solve, at least for me.

The even-layered cubes have different parity issues that I hate dealing with, and the odd-layered cubes lack these parities. That's why i like the 7x7x7.
One advantage of a 6x6x6, though, is that it can be used to mimic a 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 by simply taping (or pretending like you taped) layers together. I hope that made sense...

I never have to deal with parity issues on even-layered cubes

a 6x6 have 3 parity problems and a 7x7 1

You can use a 4x4 to learn to solve a 6x6 and a 5x5 to learn a 7x7

im the absolute same! (havent got to 6s6 yet)

I'm planning to buy next month a 5x5, and a few months after that a 6x6 or a 7x7

So should I buy 5x5 then 7x7 or but the 5+6+7 deal from v-cubes and save the 6x6 unopened for a month?

Thanks

It *still* exists!

How is that?

I googled it and a 3x3x3 (Void) has paritys! how does that work?

I am guessing he uses a k4 variant or cage

You're guessing right.
And a void cube has no parity either when you solve it corners first (but you have to be careful with the orientation of middle layer).

are you sure? becuse theres alot of youtubes on how to solve a void parity...

If you plan on buying all three cubes eventually, you should buy the package deal. It is cheaper for you that way.

No, you're wrong. The void cube still has parity with your method; the difference is that your parity fix is M (or M').
