That's also good, but you might not get sub-20 or even sub-25 in a weeek with it. Trust me, save up for a QiYi. The ShengShou isn't terrible, but it isn't comparable to the Qiyi in any way.
It's not that I don't have enough money, it's that my mom probably won't let me buy something so expensive and I've already spent a lot on cubes. I also don't know if I'll even like clock. I might ask for one for Christmas or something if I end up really liking clock.

If you do 5x5, I would recommend the Moyu Meilong 5x5 M. It is quite good for 14 dollars. Not as good at the MGC, but prob close.
 
Wait I'm dumb lol the time limit for 5x5 is 5 minutes, but the cutoff is 2:45. So do you think it'll be possible to learn how to solve it in under 5 minutes in 2 weeks (because I still have to order the cubes and wait for them to ship)?

i dont know if you've tried the yj yuchuang ,but most ppl consider it to be better than the meilong. ive used them both a lot, and i perform better on the yj.

probably
 
This is what I was thinking about ordering, but I might change my decision of the 5x5 after I do a little research. I have the Mfjs Meilong 4x4 M, and I like it, so that is what my choice was at first. I may or may not be spending way too much on cubes so hopefully I'll even be allowed to order them.

meilong is good but the yuchuang is rlly good, for only $14. i sometimes like it more then my mgc. i dont have one atm, but i was going to use my friends at a comp instead of the mgc, thats how good it is.
 
Is 5x5 hard though? I'm already struggling with 4x4 lol. I average a little over 2:30 for 4x4 and the time limit for 5x5 is 2:45 (as I said previously) so do you think it would be possible to get under 2:45 for 5x5 in 2 1/2 weeks? Or would it be pointless?
Took me around sub-16 on 3x3 to be sub-2:40 consistently on 5x5
 
Ok, you'll probably need a week of 20 solves a day (1 hour) to be sub-4 without learning much new. What cube do you currently use? The YuShuang, YJ Mini, and Qiyi MS are all really good!

P.S. So is the Qiyi MP
I actually don't have a 5x5 yet but was planning on getting either the meilong 5x5 m or the yuchuang v2 m. I'm going to order my cubes this week though.
