Alpha V vs. F-II

[Bierproever]

Try the Haiyan-Memory (the real one) and your opinion will change.

Its not A V then.

Technically it is, just modded.
I don't have either, so I can't vote >.>

Same here,
But if I were to buy one, which will be better for someone new to speedcubing??

I really don't no. It used to be FII, then it was A5, now I don't no.

To no

Probably F-II, because although I don't own an A5 (I own an F-II), it sounds like it requires more of a specific taste, whereas F-II has a standard feel and is simply good.

If we ever meet, I'll show you the Haiyan Memory's awesomeness.

So when I got my F-II, I liked it. After a while, I started to hate it. Now it's my favourite cube and will be my main once stickered (THANK YOU CUBESMITH).

 

[iasimp1997]

F-II, again.

What I know is that spelling is really geting on my nerves!

Fixed.

It seems as though you already have the 2 cubes...

I think the idea was to see the general consensus on what people use. And to create discussion on the two types so that there is more information out there for people who don't have either kind and are looking into buying. Some people just like to know things too, maybe that's the case here.

Just how I saw it, I could be wrong!

Exactly what I was thinking.

I only have an AV (unmodded, few hundred solves and a few lubes) and Ghosthand (~100-150 solves, not lubed, only loosened 1 turn), but GH is supposed to be an F-clone, right? So of the two I like my GH better because it's quieter and I like the smooth feeling better. The AV is really, really loud which limits how much I can use it (my mom apparently hears it on the other side of the house) and I hate the clicky feel. But it's really fast and cuts corners like a beast.

that just motivated me to get an A5

Ghosthand is NOTHING like F II.

I know right? I love crispy cubes, the louder the better. That's part of the reason I don't like the F-II, it feels buttery.

Ok, I don't happen to have an FII so I was assuming if they were cloned they might be. But if they're not, oh well. It's now a random comparison between GH and AV.

it feels buttery.

I like that more than a clicky feeling, personally. Crisp is fine, but an audible clicking when you turn your cube irks me for some reason.

 

[HowSuneIsNow]

my vote goes for FII. it's fast and forgiving. the AV is faster and way more temperamental.

I like A V very much. But you need sanding the A V in correct way. It will never pop never lock. It help me get the fastest speed.
I called the factory again and again.they said I can get the new mould on 20/4. I will test if fisrt. When I feel it is good enough I will release it. The new mould need not sanding anymore. Wish it release quickly.--memory
