[Review] YJ YuChuang V2M 5x5 Full In Depth Review - vs Little Magic 5x5M? | Britcubes

[Zain_A24]

Both

Yes, just try them!

Try megaminx its really fun. Then maybe skews or Pyraminx your choice. Im bad at both as I don't use the proper method for Pyra and only know sledgehammer and hedge slammer for skewb

You've persuaded me

You've persuaded me!

Aside from being really similar to 3x3 you can become really creative with your F2L as there are so many places pieces can end up. I don't practice it often as it takes so long (at least for me, I average 4:30.00 lol) I don't really have the motivation to learn new algorithms for skewb and Pyra idk why I just don't if you know what I mean?

Also square 1. Get the ylm magnetic.

Also square 1. Get the ylm magnetic.

I've been thinking of getting one but I somehow just know I won't ever practice it, the same happened with skewb

You may refer to the top post of the thread here: https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/best-3x3-comparison.74896/

there are recommendations for wca puzzles at every price point.

Thanks, I have been keeping an eye on it for a while now. Just didn't consider puzzles other than the NxN.

I have the yuxin little magic M 5x5, but never tried the YJ. I love the cube for 5x5 solving but I find the inner layers are too slim for 5bld, r2 moves suck

 

[GAN 356 X]

Has anyone got their hands on the Yuxin Huanglong 5x5?

I looked for videos yesterday but couldn't find anything. it was released on cubicle 2 days ago so someone should have it soon

Those who got it early on Cubezz and The Cubicle are probably still awaiting their packages. Looking forward to seeing some reviews on the product as well as how it compares to the Valk 5M

Edit:
Just realised it's only $20 compared to the $50 Valk 5M

Wow, the price of Huang Long 5x5 M is just amazing. It is also competing with budget magnetic 5x5s because of it's price.

What about the YJ 'Rui' series of puzzles. It comprises 2x2 - 7x7 plus pyraminx and megaminx.

It is expected that yj v2m series is better than yj rui series. It is also expected that Ylm series is better than kylin series (exclude kylin v2m 3x3).

I decided to add only the most modern set of budget puzzles for each company, which is why there is no original MF series, YJ's previous "Rui" series etc but thanks for the suggestion.

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

So, just wondering, how am I being allowed to feel about the Meilong series? I mean, it is cheaper than the older MF series.

Cheaper, but newer design.

The YuChuang V2M or the Budget series of cubes comparison?

Budget series of cubes comparison. There are already some WCA hardware comparison threads. The poll result in the Budget high-end 5x5 comparison thread has already shown that a majority of cubers prefer the yuxin little magic m over the Mr.m and the yuchuang v2m.

Would the Huanglong 5x5 be an upgrade to the Little Magic or YuChuang M 5x5 since the price is only slightly higher than that of a budget magnetic 5x5?

We will have to look at unboxings and reviews.

 

[Zain_A24]

Has anyone had any experience with the Huanglong 5x5M yet? I am eager to know how it performs and how it compares to other 5x5's available.

 

[Zain_A24]

We will have to look at unboxings and reviews.

Just realised the Huanglong 5x5 is going to be 63mm as opposed to 62mm.
The Huanglong puzzles in general seemed to be larger than average. Even the Yuxin Little Magic 7x7M is - according to JPerm - slightly larger and not what he is used to.

Interesting how Yuxin are opting for larger-sized puzzles.
