The ACC sucks. It's like meeting this beautiful girl who ends up having a dick...that you need to tuck back between her thighs before you carry on snogging her.

OMG I LOL'd so hard, best analogy ever... Now I'm actually afraid of getting one.
 
Don't worry guys, the Alpha CC is definitely a great cube. I have felt it myself and compared with many is great. You just need to make sure that your tension is the exact spot you want and that'll make it perfect. Since everyone turns with different strengths and pressure, the tension has to be of what you like. If you don't like this cube at its current tension and think it "sucks", then simply adjust it. After that, you need to make sure you lube it. Right out of the box, it is quite catchy. But after lubricating, this is one of the most amazing cubes I've ever tried. Alpha has worked long and hard on this cube to make sure everyone'll love it so be sure to try it out.

P.S. Alpha did not make the Gans Puzzle. It was HaiYan Zhuang. So he's not the one who copied off of DaYan.

when you say that its great and others say that its, not they are comparing it to the top cubes on the market. At this point in time we have amazing cubes ao one that is ok seems like crap. It may be a great cube but according to some it isn't close to other cubes (Guhong) so they say it sucks. What do you think? Is the alpha cc better than the dayan cubes and fII and Av?
 
I have learnt to take reviews, unboxing, and sales pitch with a pinch (cup) of salt.

I always hear such and such a cube is "soooo amazing". I do two things:

a. Check the current average of the cuber. If he is below 12s, I am more inclined to believe him/her. At that speed, locks, pops and great turning are his/her concerns
b. Trust one who is actually using it as his main or second (tops)

Yes, I do agree that there are amazing cubes but this cube doesn't suck compared to any. If you take your time to tension it and lube it with lubix (or anything, I guess), this cube becomes godly. I'd say it is much better than Type F II and at the same level as Alpha V and GuHong. At least my Alpha CC is. I've spent my time to bring it to its full potential so I'd know.
 
I agree i still only have the prototype, but with tension and lubing it with lubix it can be a very good speedcube for sure. But a lot of people prefer other cubes, and that normal. Yeah it an pieces of crap when you get it maybe, but like Jeffrey said take the time to play with the tension and break it inn. The guhong to is not the best cube, when it's brand new.
 
Like the guhong now we know a lot of mods to put it better.

And now im really wondering who will comme with a great mod for the alpha cc, but with out modding, i can't really say cause my guhong is way way way more breaked in the my alpha cc prototype.

that's fine bro. I respect your objective reviews. For example - your description of the lingyun was spot on (tho I thought a sub12 may have problem with the pops). Therefore, if I am planning a purchase, I do think about your views.

About the lingyun (subjective experience)-
With c4u core, there is a slight change in the 'feel' when turning (as if I had lost the original dayan feel). But it helps to control the pops better.

Without the washers (on c4u core), there is less feel of bouyancy or float (similar to a cube without a weak spring).
The turning feels better with washers. But to prevent pops (happens once in a while) I needed to take out the washersand tensioned it "tight' - it is still very fast yet no pop (rough turning as if I was using a lunhui). I opt to sacrifice 'feel' for 'function'- therefore no washers.

BTW - like your tattoo (your pics on the zhanchi review). Reminds me of:
