GAN 356 Air SM

[CantGetSub15Seconds]

I saw a GAN 356 Air SM Prototype cube in Feliks Zemdegs' video,

Super Magnetic? Standard Magnetic?

EDIT: Feliks' mains and PBs can be found here. (I want to know his fav peanut butter tho): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1etN_cYzamRragAUqp06ybWQmBOP91s3WeZNn0spiVT4/edit#gid=0

I wanna say the S stands for "Signature" if anything considering TheCubicle just released a "Max Park Gan356 UM Signature Edition"

But what does the "M" stand for? The signature makes sense, but "M"?

Magnetic

 

[CantGetSub15Seconds]

Of course its magnetic, but the S...

 

[Luke8]

I think the s means supreme. My birthday is soon so I hope it comes out in time!

How does this make sense if the Signature Edition is literally called "UM Max Park Signature Edition"?

I never said that it makes sense, it was just an assumption as to what the "S" stands for.

It probably means Standard Edition, not sure if this store is trusty (especially since they still call gan gans), but I found the name here: http://thegioirubik.com/san-pham/ganspuzzle-gans-air-sm-standard-magnetic/.

To be honest, I think that store created magnetic versions of the standard GAN 356 Air Standard version. The stickers are exactly the same.

Nothing wrong with saying Gans, they just mean it's there cube. It's like me saying "Malkoms addiction to correct people for no reason", it doesn't mean my name is Malkoms.

Well, the S in Gans don't really matter, but I think they prefer GAN. I mean, looking back, they were Ganspuzzle, so maybe people got the name from there. Plus, no one says Ganspuzzle nowadays.

It won't be 'standard" because Feliks won't use a "standard" cube.

True.

That seems convincing, but the cube Feliks uses has fullbrights. His could be custom though. I also plugged the text on that page into Google Translate and got this:
"The Gans Air Standard version was mod"
This doesn't give any concrete evidence either way, but I found it interesting.

As far as I know, SM has always been Sado-Masochism.

 

[Malkom]

Standard makes the most sense, not everyone wants to pay $47 for a magnetic cube. The UM is only $5 more than the Ultimate, meaning Gan should be able to sell magnetic non super customized cubes for around $25.

 

[Dnomsed Gnik]

My theory is that SM is the standard GAN 356 Air that is magnetised. (Not the ultimate version) This would mean a heavier cube that probably feels more stable.

Why would Feliks get such good times on it then, when he likes the ultimate more than the regular air? (2 6.45 averages and many sub 7 averages)

Feliks have been cubing for almost ten years, I think he knows how to set up his own cube.
