MoYu (魔域) HuanYing (幻影) new mechanism 3x3x3 speed cube

Do you think the HY is better than the Fangshi?

IMO the HY is better, but the Fangshi is also really nice.
The HY is just so forgiving, it never locks up for me. The fangshi is smoother, but it tends to lock upp a bit more and it needs more accurate turning. The fangshi is super quiet in comparement tho, so its great for the bus...

Right now I´m using both + the zhanchi. They're all great cubes, but very different :)

If u prefare the guhong over the zhanchi, u´d probably prefer the fangshi...

This is pretty much how I feel! I didn't even realize how forgiving the hy was and how much it didn't lock up until I went back to the zhanchi from an ao100 with the HY. It's amazing, but I feel like it's "exhausting." Obviously my fingers aren't gonna get tired or anything, but I feel like it takes more turning force than a zhanchi, but the HY is quicker somehow. It's the weirdest thing.

Really? My zhanchi is slow and sucks. The Moyu is easy as hell to turn for me.

Yeah the HY is faster, but its rougher I guess is what I'm trying to say. Not really harder but rougher. I feel like an ***** trying to describe it lol.

edit:: idi0t is censored?!
 
How easy does this pop? I'm currently using the Fangshi as my main due to the lack of pops, but wish it was faster. Might switch to this if it doesn't pop easily.
 
For people who doesn't believe me about the purple cube...
go for higher res for better view of the glitter O.o

Apparently it's a prototype of the gold and silver version. It may be mass-produced in this colour, but that hasn't been decided yet.

I got rid of a little bit of the noise of the Moyu

Like this:
Disclaimer, if you don't want to waste a perfectly good cube, I do not recommend you do this ;)

I average around 27 - 28 so this Ao5 proves it is still fast:

Big plus: Less noise
Down side: It does not feel 'airy'.

It's very hard to see how I could make myself like this cube. It seems to be best at pretty loose tension, but it still feels kinda bad in my hands. I don't mind it being loud, but when it performs this bad in my hands, I just can't use it. This cube is fast, but locking is the worst thing for me, I really need my cubes to be smooth/non-locky, even more smooth than fast, both would be better ofc.
Gonna stick to my zhanchi still. I made completely clean-up to it yesterday, for the longest time it was very gummy and slow, so I kinda revived it from being half dead. Funny how bad feeling cube can kill your cubing spirit, where good one boosts it up. And that can happen with any cube, depending how it is tensioned/lubed etc. Therefore I will keep my eyes open if someone finds something great for this huanying to make it so that even I like to use it, I have my doubts tho.
 
The WeiLong opened for pre-order just now. Ordered mine just now as well. I suppose we can discuss here until a proper thread about the WeiLong will be made!

Now this is an interesting way to promote a cube :D Seems like they are taking killing the Dayan brand seriously. Also the expiry date makes me think, that this is the product of the year for them. They wouldn't be making this unless they had plans to release a better cube on the market during 2013, now would they?
