What professional setup from thecubicle would you recommend or should I set it up myself?

Angstrom or Mystic,

 

[Luke Solves Cubes]

Angstrom or Mystic,

Thank you, after looking at the prices, I'm probably just going to set it up with the angstrom lubes myself but instead of the lubicle black, use weight 5 or 3

@Timona @Anthony Tindal can you recommend me a megaminx, I would like a standard size megaminx that can turn fast and has strong magnets, also if possible I would like a professional setup recommendation that is available at thecubicle. (I pinged you guys because you are the rulers of mega on this website)

@Cuberstache

@Cuberstache

I don't know why you pinged him. Cuberstache is very fast at Hungarian Supernova but that doesn't make his opinion any better than others. It's still an opinion. I think what I have gather from him and from my own experience is that the best Hungarian Supernova's on the market are the Yuhu V2M (The WR avg megaminx) and the Dayan V2M.

The Yuhu is pretty large and the factory colour schemes aren't great. I would recommend you buy the Dark Green and Black pieces, it's definitely worth it. It a pretty fast cube and that's good because of its larger size you need some speed to turn layers quickly since there is a larger travel distance. The magnets aren't very strong and the ridge system is a little weird but it does its job well. Any problems you would find with this cube are easily countered by its low price. For what you pay for you really get an amazing puzzle. That being said that doesn't make it any better of a puzzle.

The Dayan V2M is the best performing Hungarian Supernova on the market, the shades are perfect (but buy those extra black pieces), the magnets strong, and the turning fast and snappy. The only problem with it is the size. Just as the Yuhu is the giant of Hungarian Supernovas the Dayan is just tiny and it takes some getting used to.

The Galaxy V2M is still viable and a Boron-treated Galaxy V2 LM holds the current WR single. It's on the slower side and doesn't have the strongest magnets in the world but some may prefer it over the other two. I would recommend buying the LM if you get one because the standard is very small.

There are other Hungarian Supernovas on the market but between the Yuhu with its dirt-cheap price and the Dayan with its amazing performance there isn't really any reason to try the others out. The Moyu WRM is awful, the MGC has gathered dust since it was released, the YLM V3 just isn't as good as the Yuhu, and under no circumstances should you ever buy a GAN. Not because it's awful (It's pretty meh though) but for a host of other reason.

Spoiler: Old rant from the SS Chat, edited

Like really, it's almost twice the price of any other Hungarian Supernova on the market, it has an ugly frosted feel, the colour shades are so dark, the grip is awful, it feels cheap and hollow like it's just a shell, it has GES which is so stupid for Hungarian Supernova because it's such a time consumer and Hungarian Supernova doesn't need that kind of adjustability, it has an awful hollow sound that is very high pitched. Hardly anybody uses it anymore that actually practices the event Hungarian Supernova (so tingman stop praising the GAN). Everybody uses either the Dayan, because it's amazing, fast, has fantastic colours, or the Yuhu, because of its larger size and amazing value, while not as good as the Dayan it still is a solid choice and there isn't anything wrong with it unlike the Dayan which is too small (although the grip on the Yuhu feels a bit weird) As for the Galaxy v2m LM, I don't know much about the it but it's got to be better because after GAN released their Hungarian Supernova the Galaxy was still by far the most used Hungarian Supernova, and still gets used today despite being from 2018.

How about, since you are wayyyyyyyyy ahead of me, you have to get the sub-25 ao200 before your comp!

Or, since you are 30 seconds ahead, you need to get sub-20 instead?

Just Git Gud Bruh

i pinged him because in the post by luke, he said he pinged @Anthony Tindal and @Timona for being the rulers of hungarian supernova on this forum, so i pinged @Cuberstache because he is also really good at hungarian supernova.(world class)

 

[Luke Solves Cubes]

If anybody has a valk 3x3 and a gan 3x3 try this: disasemble both cubes and put the gan pieces in the valk core. It is surprisingly good but the only bad thing is that the shades are different. Also don't try this with the valk pieces in the gan core, its unturnable

*prays you get parity on all five solves*

I hope you get parity on every single one of your square 1 solves ever, and if you learn CSP I hope you mistrace.

 

[Lio2010]

Make sure to learn the parity algorithms. They may be long,but they will help solve square-1 every time without having to rescramble.

Look tingmans squan video with a better parity alg

Hello, I am participating in this thread now apparently.

I main the Dayan v2m megaminx, and the only other one that's really worth considering is the Yuhu v2m. The Dayan is smaller, a little faster, but has very little texture to assist with grip. The Yuhu is the opposite in some sense, being larger, a little slower, and with nice ridges for grip. I think the magnet strengths are about the same. The Yuhu is also about half the price of the Dayan. I've pretty much always considered the Dayan to be decidedly better, but there are plenty of notable cubers, including the WR holder, the NAR holder, and the ER holder, who prefer the Yuhu, so it's definitely a viable option. Also, I'd like to correct some misleading information from @TheCubingCuber347. The Yuhu now comes with the dark green pieces already. It's only if you have an old batch that you need to buy dark green pieces separately. However, I'd agree that for either puzzle, you should get the black pieces to replace gray, assuming you do gray as your last layer. It makes LL recognition much easier.
