What do you think in your opinion is the most useless WCA event.

[Kirjava]

For the people making the argument that Magic and Master Magic shouldn't be events because they're so fast then we should get rid of 2x2 as well since that's a fast puzzle too.

What people?

 

[freshcuber]

Since Magic is stupidly quick, would it not be better then to scrap it and keep master magic?
I don't mind either of them though, the only event I actively don't like the idea of is Feet.

There's one.

 

[Godmil]

Ah no, I didn't say they should be scrapped because they're quick, I said if you were going to scrap one (due to them both being almost exactly the same) then it would be better to get rid of the easier one.

 

[freshcuber]

By that logic all cubes smaller than 4x4 should be scrapped as well.

 

[clincr]

Magic because it is not even a puzzle. It is more similar to speedstacking that to cubing.

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Magic because it is not even a puzzle.

It is the first time if you try it intuitively (Is that spelt right??)
But on another note, there has only been 272 feet competitors ever. Not really that many.

Irrelevant. When you compete in Magic in competition it will not be the first time.

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Irrelevant. When you compete in Magic in competition it will not be the first time.

True, but the point was that its still a puzzle.

I lol'ed

There have been far less competitors in 4x4 and 5x5 bld. Why do you mention feet and not 4 and 5 BLD?

 

[StachuK1992]

Magics, 2x2.

***** loves to make assumptions, eh?

 

[freshcuber]

Did I misinterpret Godmil? He said to get rid of magic because it was the simpler of the two. Well 2x2 is simpler than 3x3 and 3x3 is simpler than 4x4. If we were to continue with that logic we wouldn't do 3BLD or 3x3 multi it would all be big cube BLD and big cube multi since 3BLD is simpler.

He said to get rid of magic because it was the simpler of the two.

Are you sure?

Who's the bastard who voted FMC? >: (

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

When will the added/removed events for this year get announced? Also, when do the new regs come out?

EDIT: ^Lol

 

[amostay2004]

What Godmil is saying is, since people are not liking the magic events and suggesting them to be removed, and that if we're going to remove one of them, it should be magic because it's an easier version of master magic. This does not relate in any way to other events.

At least that's how I interpret it.

 

[freshcuber]

Ah no, I didn't say they should be scrapped because they're quick, I said if you were going to scrap one (due to them both being almost exactly the same) then it would be better to get rid of the easier one.

He said easier I said simpler. They're synonymous.

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

He said easier I said simpler. They're synonymous.

Not necessarily true though. For example, a method could be hard to learn and execute but easy to understand

 

[Kirjava]

How are you still oblivious even after it's been explained to you?

Like, wow.

 

[MagicYio]

Really? The puzzles been commercially available for maybe 45 days and you think it's weird there's not an event?

I didn't know that. But what I meant with this, is that they weren't commercially available some time ago, so that there could've been an event for it. I mean, because of the Rubik's cube there are 7x7's now, and the megaminx has it's damn petaminx. Pyraminx is just so alone. I assume that this is the same reason the kilominx isn't an event; it is still too unknown and too unavailable (I think, correct me if I'm wrong). But they both have potential to get there. Just as the skewb, there must come a skewb-event.
