Bro the GTS3M is the WRM. The only difference is no ridges and weaker magnets. Changing the tier of one but not the other makes it completely subjective, which nullifies this list

I've heard that it is based on multiple reviews I have seen.
I personally can get the same times on both the valk 5 and mgc but I main the valk 5 for the feel. Depending on how accurate your turn style is you will favor one or the other and I think their performance is on the same level. Also the speed of the MGC can't be beat
again, debatable. I find the Yushi v2 better because the qualities fit better together but as a whole they are both great for the price, I have not tried the stock YLM 6x6 magnetic but a friend has one and it was pretty good, about as good as the Yushi v2. From my experience, all of the factory magnetic 6x6s are really good but the MGC is the only one that is objectively better than the rest
I agree with you on this one, maybe add the hays as expert as well since many people still use it. The aofu is 10$ cheaper then the hays and spark (and is worse then both) so it could fit in the great category.

Yea, YJ MGC 5x5 is the best 5x5 next to the Valk. But I have also heard great things about aochuang wrm. Among Valk 5 M, MoYu AoChuang WR M and YJ MGC 5x5, which should be put in expert?
Then just add yushi v2m to budget along with ylm m 6x6.
Spark M is BY FAR the best 7x7.

Guys the thread was moved, we already have a list. It does need to be updated, so we can make suggestions to pjk, but we don't need whole new lists(especially subjective ones)

Why add puzzles that aren't out? You can't add Bell V2 and MGC Elite 2x2 if hardly anyone's tried it

MGC Elite 2x2 is out in Asia already.

I think Tengyun V2 should be in expert :/
There are a bunch of 3x3 flagships, and many people seem to really like it. Also, just put WRM/GTS3M, they’re practically the same...
For great in 3x3, YJ MGC Elite and, I don’t know, Guhong V3? Thunderclap V3? Wuwei?
For Pyraminx, lots of people use pyras like the huanglong and moyu magnetic, perhaps they should be added to give more choice?
Also, not sure, but is the YJ Yusu V2 M a good budget cube for 4x4?

Is Tengyun v2 m at the same level as the other expert 3x3s? I doubt that, as it corner pops even on tight tensions.
Sure! added GTS3 M to expert.
For great 3x3, there are Tengyun v2 m, yj mgc elite and Gan 356 M. Which should be in great 3x3?
For great pyraminx, if bell v1 is put in expert, there are mr.m pyraminx, huanglong and moyu magnetic. Which should be in great pyraminx?
For budget 4x4, there are YJ Yusu V2 M, yuxin little magic m 4x4 and qiyi ms 4x4. YJ Yusu v2 M catches a lot. yuxin little magic m 4x4 is sluggish. QiYi MS 4x4 is the way to go.

The corner pops don’t happen to me, or a lot of other people, and anyway - it’s not the entire corner that pops out - it’s the cubie, with the stock still inside. Superglue will fix this, as people like @TomTheCuber101 has said. Plus I don’t think it has happened to a lot of people. I would put it in Expert.
If you put the Tengyun in Expert, put the Elite in Great, Gan’s 356 M price is unjustified to be in Great - you can get the WR M and Tengyun for less than that. Personally I think there should be another Great cube which is more budget, such as the cubes aforementioned. There are only 3 levels here, for a lot of different price ranges. And a lot of cubes are in the £10-£20 range.
I think unless the Bell V2 is solidly proven to be way better than everything else, keep it out of the mix for now until it releases, and put the Bell V1 in expert. If it has been proven, keep it as it is, but maybe add one more Pyraminx to the Great section, out of which one you think is best (Huanglong, Mr M, Moyu, I believe).
I don’t know much about 4x4, so I’ll take your word for it.
I agree with everything else (though a lot I don’t know much about)
For extras, you could add the prices of the cubes (in popular stores). Good job! This thread needs updating.

Gan 356 M is cheaper than the gts3 m and is $1 more expensive than tengyun v2m.
Yes, I agree that there are many great cubes within $10-$20, such as yuxin little magic m.
For pyraminx, Huanglong, Mr M, Moyu, which one is the best? Mr M is one of the best after lots of setups. HuangLong is kind of an upgrate from the moyu as it is as fast as the moyu and it has stronger magnets.

I don’t know too much, the Mr M seems good I think. I was going to buy it.

3x3 recommendations on the list has been updated.
As mr.m is cheaper than the huanglong while the huanglong is same price as the bell, mr. m should be in great.
Pyraminx recommendations on the list has been updated.

@Fukuoka Kengo James I have moved here from the upcoming puzzles thread, I have tried the MGC 5x5x5 and feel that it is a reasonable cube but only about 4th best after aochuang WRM, valk 5 and QiYi MS 5x5x5, it's just too fast sometimes and a bit unstable.

So Qiyi ms 5x5 is better than the yuxin little magic m 5x5 and the yjmgc 5x5?

wow is the ms that good???

Yes, the ms series is excellent. All cubes of ms series are on my WCA Speed Cubes Recommendation List. The "up to date recommendation list" should also include the ms series. @pjk the list has to be updated. The ms series is high quality at cheap price. I can easily recommend any of them to any beginners or intermediate speed cubers.

I feel like the best Pyraminx list is not the best Pyraminx, but the ones with the strongest magnets
