[Help Thread] Puzzle Choice Thread

[PetrusQuber]

Thanks for your help guys, I've just ordered a RS3M 2020 from speedcubing.org. Looking forward to seeing how it feels.

It will feel like a dream compared to the Zhanchi

Hey guys. Just wondering what all of you think is the best magnetic 4x4 on the market. I'm not looking for a budget 4x4 I want a really good one.
I've heard mix reviews about the valk 4m

 

[Nmile7300]

MGC if you care about price, WRM if you don't. GTS2M if you have really big hands.

 

[Micah Morrison]

I used to really like my WRM, but now it's kind of sticky and slow. I don't have the MGC, but I know both Tymon and Ciaran use it, so that's probably the best bet in terms of price and probably quality.

aosu WRM, currently on 15% off with code 'MOYU' but not for long. MGC 4x4x4 is also good if you want something cheaper, and if you want the cheapest magnetic option then get the QiYi MS 4x4x4

the website he linked (speedcubing.org)

I'm using a QiYi MS as my main, so either that means I have a preference towards the MS, or I suck at 4x4 so I can't discern the difference between cubes lol

What is the most fun wca puzzle to solve and play with? Currently I've only learned the 3×3 and eventually I wanna buy another puzzle so that it doesn't get repetitive and so that I can have fun!

Honestly as for rn I have 3 puzzles in mind that look like fun: pyraminx, 4×4, and the skewb.

 

[BenChristman1]

It all depends on what kind of solving experience you're looking for. If you want it more challenging, then 4x4. If you want something easier, then choose pyraminx or skewb.

It is up to personal preference. Personally, my favourite events are Pyraminx, 3x3, 2x2, 4x4 and Megaminx.

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

I find skewb to be very unintriguing and kinda lame. Pyraminx is fun if you want to challenge yourself by learning a puzzle intuitively, making your own algorithms, etc. because it's a relatively simple puzzle. You will get fast quickly and th that's just kinda all there is to it, there are advanced methods and all sets but nothing like what's available to explore with 4x4. The 4x4 will require the most time to master of the choices and is arguably the more difficult, expansive, and fun of the options.

 

[swburk]

I think I'd suggest 4x4 or Megaminx. 4x4 is more challenging than 3x3 and requires you to learn some new techniques. Megaminx is very similar to 3x3, but not as hard to learn as 4x4. Pyraminx and Skewb are both easy and fast to solve. Pyraminx is more fun in my opinion, but I find the Skewb awkward to hold and turn.

 

[PetrusQuber]

I would suggest Megaminx and Square 1

 

[Zubin Park]

I wouldn't suggest a new puzzle, instead try 3BLD!

 

[Cubingcubecuber]

Square-1 and clock are both really fun

lol @TheMasterJadi be like these people are no help at all
