Upcoming puzzles

Are those videos of the GAN skewb old or new? Is he solving a prototype? It sounds awfully noisy for a modern GAN puzzle.

I’m not sure, I just saw the video.

QUICK UPDATE:

I think the new XMan 2x2 is going to be called the "XMAN Flare".
Thoughts?

I hope the cube will introduce something new to the market. Is there a 2x2 under 50g? That would be fun.

I think heavier 2x2s are probably better for grip and stability. Light cubes would just fly around everywhere.

GAN's light cubes have been successful. I think there is a potential market for very light 2x2s and I would for sure try one before writing it off.

I think it will be the first 2x2 with adjustable magnets. In the picture I saw first it looked like it

Yeah, saw this on Reddit a few days ago. Interesting...

I like the black internals look. And yeah it's a wonder why we haven't gotten adjustable magnets on a 2x2. A dual adjustment system would be more useful tho

The way 2x2's are magnetized makes it easier said than done. With a valk style system, interchangeable intervals could be a solution, but I have no idea how adjustable magnets would work on a traditional magnetization system.

have both of the magnets be sliding? idk

true, but on 3x3 you have an area of more than a square centimeter to put one, whereas a 2x2 only really has room for a screw

I think adjustable magnets would be really useful on 2x2. I personally like strong, but not clicky magnets on 2x2. (this explains why I main the MGC elite). However lots of people like weaker magnets, too. which explains why the valk 2 LM came out. Forget adjustable size (sorry xinghen TSM fans, but your 2x2 sucks), adjustable magnets ftw!

I predict Qiyi’s latest Valk flagship to come out in January.

I predict Qiyi’s latest Valk flagship to come out in January.

Qiyi tend to be quite slow with their 3x3 flagship releases. They'll likely only release something once they come up with something innovative.

I predict Qiyi’s latest Valk flagship to come out in January.

and on what basis do you have for this prediction?

 

[Cubing Forever]

There's a GuHong v4 now??
(I'm SERIOUSLY not rickrolling)
It's up for pre order

I predict Qiyi’s latest Valk flagship to come out in January.

I haven't heard anything about this new flagship, Is there something on Instagram that I missed?
