Short rant about corner-cutting tests in cube reviews

[kubesolver]

I notice that most reviews do the same simple corner-cutting test that is of little practical value (because all cubes pass it perfectly).
I propose that reviews test corner cutting using more variable grips / finger tricks as it serves better to separate top performing cubes.

yeah J Perm is better about this in reviews since he goes into lockups that occur, usually with harder F moves

I have to agree, you can see this in his tornado v2 review.

I agree with @kubesolver and the main point here. I’ve often thought the corner cutting footage and test was kinda useless because all cubes cut reasonably well during that demonstration - But its a scenario that isn’t essential to a cubes overall performance.

I’m guilty of this in the past but will incorporate some more useful corner cutting scenarios/grips/finger trick executions with misaligned layers in my reviews from now on.
