Dont forget its long because i have how to lube it and how to assemble it in here!

You can pre order this cube currently from Icubemart (it will come with Alpha CC stickers unlike mine)...http://bit.ly/iLtjeQ

This is an amazing cube. I would suggest not using the pieces that connect to the edges but its all up to you.

Thanks for watching

Please leave me a comment if you have any suggestions for cubes to review. also if you have any advice please leave a comment thanks!!

I don't mean to be the typical scathing response but I think this video could have easily been half of the length. It just didn't seem to be planned out beforehand. Just for example I counted 30 uses of "Um" or "Uh" by the 3 minute mark. I think you could work on your organization and being concise and to the point. Perhaps write down a list of things you want to cover on a notecard? Treat it like your school presentation. You certainly gave some good information, (probably a bit much in my opinion), it just could use a little polishing.
Also, a super in depth guide to assembly and lubrication isn't going to do much for anything but an absolute beginner, and regardless of the exact way you do it every cuber is going to develop his or her own methods to how to go about that. <3

Thanks for all the tips. I did actually plan it out. I have a note card with all the points i wanted to go over. I dont think it helped because i kept getting confused on which i had done. The Um and Uh is from me looking at the note card and deciding which point to go over next. I should probably not include the lubrication but i like to show how i lube it because mine always turn out really good and people ask me how i did it. But i too think its not exactly needed. Assembly... with this being a brand new cube i thought it would be nice to include it all in 1 video so you dont have to go find another and watch it. Thanks again for the help i will put it in use for the next review! <3

Compared to zhanchi, cc has more speed?
I think so but the CC is more crispy and more the Zhanchi is a more smooth speed hard to compare them
 
You were talking about how loose and springy it was. Try the black springs, since they're shorter they won't make the cube flex so ****in much, cause honestly that cube looks way too loose lol

no the black springs are longer. so i would need to smaller silver ones. It was too loose i finally got my tensions correct so now its not that bad
 
[Video] Alpha CC review (CONTAINS BAD LANGUAGE)

For those of you who are not familiar with my video / review style, it is not for everyone. Please do not complain that I annoy you, or you do not like skits, additives, etc, which are not necessary to a review. I already know this, but this is how I choose to make my reviews. Yes, there are a few things strictly for entertainment value, but I promise, there is a review in the video. For those of you that can handle it, enjoy. :)
Please heed the warning in the title, this video does contain excessively BAD LANGUAGE. Do not watch if you are offended by this, or if you have young ones around.

Okay, I have nothing against you. But, is there any reason why you do those things?

Yeah dude, if you're talking about the cursing, that's just a normal part of everyday talking for me. Maybe a little exaggerated for the energy of the video. Not sure what else you could be talking about. I'll just say this: Watch any one of my videos and tell me it's boring.
