Let WCA allow the Dayan color cubes

[Michael Womack]

hey I have a very good modded guhong color and I really want to use it at a comp so help me.

If this poll gets 500 yeses by Christmas then i will email WCA asking them to allow them

If you all say that I need to get a regular guhong I still have my lunhui

Mod a single color cube to the point of your "good" Guhong.

It looks like you don't understand why they don't allow those cubes.

The reason is that, when you turn one face by 45 degrees (half of a normal quarter turn), you can see the colors of some stickers you shouldn't be able to see. For example, if you turn the top face by 45 degrees, you can see the BR and BL stickers. The WCA has decided that this is an unfair advantage for lookahead, and so these cubes aren't allowed.

Do you honestly think one email will make them do anything?

I know that but why are they allowing tiled cubes like the Mefferts 4x4 with tiles on them. If you look at one side you will see the other colors on the tiles on the 4 sides around the side you looking at.

no I only have one the others are broken

 

[emolover]

no I only have one the others are broken

But you still have bought 5!!! Yet you have only bought 1 Guhong.

why are you talking about eastsheens when this thread is not about them

 

[Goosly]

Just buy a ZhanChi. It's at least twice as awesome as your 'good' not-competition-legal Guhong.

 

[Michael Womack]

Because you have spent like $70 on eastsheen **** cubes but you are too cheap to spend $12 on a Guhong! That doesn't make sense.

look here dose it look like i spend that much on cubes

i do have a dayan lunhui but by guhong is faster

No. ZhanChi's are not better than Guhongs. Its a personal preference.

3f) Stickers/tiles/textures/paint must not be thicker than 1.5 mm, or the generally available thickness for non cube puzzles.

The tiles are only allowed if they are under 1.5 mm, and not stupidly large. So you gain no advantage from tiles.

The ZhanChi pops less, is faster, is smoother and has insane reverse corner cutting. So it's better than the GuHong.
Saying it is too fast makes no sense, that's like saying a pc with 4GB RAM is better than one with 6GB because you don't need the 6.

i do have a dayan lunhui but by guhong is faster

Sure. LunHui's are not very good. That's why I said you should buy a ZhanChi

 

[antoineccantin]

Lunhuis are not half as good as Zhachis. (my opinion)

 

[Michael Womack]

with my guhong it is insanely fast modded it so its very hard to make it pop and its just overall smother/faster.

What are you trying to say? I think everyone would agree that Guhongs are better than LunHui's.

no im just saynig that my guhong is good

We are saying colored cubes offer an advantage that stickered cubes cannot. They made it illegal for a reason.
