[Unofficial] V Cube 3 First Impressions/Review

[Thorsten]

Hi,

i got my V Cube 3 today and wondered why there are no videos and reviews about it, so i decided to make one.

As said in the video:
Reviews and Videos are not my type of hobby, I just wanted to show the pieces and tell you my impressions about the new V-Cube.

So don't expect to much but have fun watching it:

Sorry for my bad english ;-)

 

[asportking]

Wow, those pieces are really similar to a Guhong. Doesn't look very good compared to Dayan cubes though, I think I'll stick with my Zhanchi.

 

[Godmil]

Thanks so much for making the video. It appears like it's just a less refined Guhong. Which I guess that makes it a good cube, but not as good as a dayan.

 

[PandaCuber]

Your english is fine

I really want one. It looks like a nice cube.

15 Minutes ago: might save up for a V-Cube 3
Now: Nah, I'm fine with a ZhanChi

Sounds awfully clunky and clicky...

 

[GlowingSausage]

So... Verdes wanted to have their revenge and copied the GuHong like the GuHong "copied" their their corners?

 

[amostay2004]

Kinda disappointing from what I can see.

Well the V3 is based on the same mechanism that V Cube has always had.. what the GuHong did was refine it to make it better.

I got mine today too.
In short,:
It is quite good
Locks a bit, pops too
Chances are it is not going to be as good as your best cube.
However it is not complete ****.

 

[coldplay]

Well, this was awfully underwhelming...

Like most others, I'm sticking with my ZhanChi as my main. But I'm getting this anyway as a novelty item and just to see if I can make something great out of it (with modding and such).

Oh and another thing... the video's time is 13 minutes and 37 seconds. 13:37.

da cube iz leet

The edges are guhong ish

 

[ZincK_NOVA]

Would you say this is worth the amount it costs? I'm pretty sure I won't get one (unless they release different coloured plastics) but, given that it costs more than a Guhong in most situations, would you say that it is worth buying one for the sake of speedcubing? (ie: using it as a main cube; not just having one in your collection etc.)

I do not want to give any advice that sounds like the one truth!
But if you ask for my opinion: I'm staying with my Lubix Fusion (+ Torpedos, so its maybe a Elite).

 

[JLarsen]

Definitely sticking with my Zhanchi until I leave the forum from another year, come back, and find there's some new ridiculous cube and no one even uses Dayan anymore.

 

[RNewms27]

Another collectable.

 

[TheMachanga]

Looks like a guhong with sharper edges, and similar to their big-cube pieces.

 

[chewbacca1229]

I HAVE THE CUBE AND IT ISNT AT ALL LIKE THE GUHONG!! The corners aren't even the same idea and the edges are more boxy on the v-3. I will admit it isn't great when I first assembled it but I WOULD 100 PERCENT BUY THIS AS A SPEEDCUBE!! IT IS VERY FAST AND CUTS WELL...only complaint is the stickers are annoying

 

[The Bloody Talon]

no torpedos?

 

[Kirjava]

I HAVE THE CUBE AND IT ISNT AT ALL LIKE THE GUHONG!!

As far as cubes go, it is clearly very similar to Guhong.

no torpz tho, wonder where that came from. v cube didn't copy ****, gg.
