[Help Thread] Puzzle Choice Thread

[daniel0731ex]

off topic, but my A-II pops alot. then when it's at tight tension, it can't cut corners for crap. -_- any suggestions?

I'm looking for a cube that
-No pops
-Well built
-(optional: bubbly feel, like F-II)
-no locks
-corner cutting must be at least 1 piece with ease.
-decent speed

type C; you could check out mine at C4.

I read the whole topic but i still dont know what to get.

As most of you, i want a 3x3x3 cube that


-doesnt lock
-doesnt pop
-cuts corners ( as much as possible )
-is fast

The suggestions I saw were F-II and the A-V, new type A-III, old type AII.

Wich should i get?

 

[askakiat]

Corner Cutting : Doesnt matter much for me...
Pop :As minor as possible

I suggest Haiyan Memory.

@askakiat
You can try getting a A V and modding it or try A-IIIF (heard its good)

 

[Tyjet66]

I want a pyraminx. I'm thinking this one:

Do you suggest it? Or is there a better one?

i know an A-V fits my requirements now...but how about taiyan/DaYan??

 

[canadiancuber]

Maru? though i personally like LanLan.

 

[TheCubeMaster5000]

I'm looking for something that cuts corners really well ('cause I'm kinda hard on my cubes) and is quiet !!!

 

[miniGOINGS]

Ghost Hand I and II are really quiet I've heard. Sound like good cubes too.

 

[no1337cube]

I need help with choosing a cube that I can easily transit from my current main Type E (Locks up seldomly but enough to affect my times speed-wise its great)
Also wondering whether the plastic colour affects the speed and turning,etc.
And whether a home-modded A V would be as good as a Haiyan memory (Assuming I got the tensions right and sanded evenly).
+ Does A V / Haiyan memory lock more than F ii or are they of same caliber?
O yes, and feel free to mention any other cubes you think that fit my criteria of no lock + fast. (Link if possible)
My style of turning is also kinda rough when spamming TPS.(That explains the locks)
For an example of my turning style Clicky

Thanks a bunch.

AV locks up more than FII out of the box, i modded my AV and it locks up m aybe once a solve ( i think i didn't round a couple corners enough) i would say that a modded AV could definitely be as good as a haiyan memory, and i would reccomend a black cube because most people have better color recognition on them, but it usually doesn't effect the turning of the cube. However, not knowing if you like crispy or smooth cubes, i would reccomend the FII (even though i don't like F's that much) because it is smooth and dianshengs are smooth. Hope this helps

I still don't get what it means by crispy in all these chats about cubes but being crispy is it the sound or the feel and is the smoothness of the F ii comparable to the Lan Lan.
If the crispy-ness mentioned is just the feel when the cubies run past each other/slide I would buy the A V then.
However would you mind explaining/telling me if AV's speed is slower than F ii (In your opinion).And I'm looking for a cube that's not tooo smooth either.(Overshooting problems-heard the F II does when NIB)

 

[Crosshash]

What 4x4x4 should I get? I already have an Eastsheen 4x4x4 and I don't really like it. Took it apart to lube it and I couldn't for the life of me work out how to put it back together.

I just want the best 4x4x4 in the same way it's almost universal that the LL is the best 2x2 and the F-II / AV is the best 3x3x3

Thank you.

 

[no1337cube]

@Crosshash get mini QJ or YJ 4x4 (V-mech) YJ if you are ok with normal sized cubes or otherwise get a mini QJ (note when NIB) it might feel stiff.

BTW BUMP.

Thank you for the reply. I've been watching some reviews for both cubes and I like the fact the YJ is normal sized but I'm a little disappointed that its inner layer turns are quite bad. Could you possibly comment on this (apparently the outer layers turn beautifully, but the inner layers are a real proble).
I'm also kind of disappointed that there's no black version - as far as I can tell.
