You are improving without practice ;) Nice..

Marcel: You'll get that sub-2. Are you still trying out the Weisu? Do you think you'll go back to Shengshou? Also, maybe what you need is a white Weisu. Looks like yours is black. I wonder why you didn't get a white one since I think you prefer white cubes?

I ordered from Wallbuys because they are the cheapest. The black ones where first ones they had in stock. I might buy an original color. All my original color cubes are faster than other cubes.

Haha, love that reaction. It made me smile. :) How do you know it's not because you're better on white cubes?

PS - Why it took you 8 seconds to recognize U-perm?

I do not know. I thought I had a parity case :)

Only judging from the video, you seem to be affraid to mess up or do a wrong step or explode the cube.
Do an average on the 4x4 with 3x3 scrambles and notice the difference.

Yeah the 4x4 part I turn a lot slower. 4x4 moves just do not come natural to me yet. I average 35 - 36 seconds 3x3 on 4x4.

Yeah, Chilong is definatly my main. Imagion doing the first 100 solves on a new cube and breaking all PB's except single (although I had three that where sooooo close). ;) This cube is the best cube there is for my style.

My "longs" arrived today and I am seriously impressed. Both are great but the ChiLong in particular is out of the box the best cube I've ever bought. It needed no retensioning or relubing - it was just instantly great. I have spent hours messing with other cubes to get them just half as good as the ChiLong.

Great! Cuz I'm still a skeptic waiting for my Su- and Chi-.

Yeah, freaking awesome cube huh? I have been solving my ChiLong the most and think it is time to call him my main (since I am also loving the Gan III V2). Pure awesomeness. ;)

After using my ShengShou for a few days I did a few solves on the WeiSu again. I must say, it is slower, but soooo much less locky. It really felt nice going back to WeiSu after doing about 100 solves on my ShengShou.. You need a way more acurate turning for ShengShou. One of these days I will order a white or original color ;)
 
MarcelP said:
Is your WeiSu already on it's way to you?
Click to expand...

Yes, it's on its way. I don't know how long it will take. I've never ordered from Wallbuys before. They shipped on the 14th (before the weekend). From so far away, I kind of don't expect it to arrive sooner than 2 weeks so I guess I will probably get it in early December? That's my estimate. Good timing for an early Christmas. I'll sure let you guys know when it arrives!

Edit: Oops, I mean it shipped on the 8th and 12th? That's what it says. Not sure why there are two dates though. Maybe they shipped the Weisu separate from the Sulong and Chilong? I have no idea actually. It says it left the originating country on the 14th or thereabouts. I have two numbers so... yeah I'm a bit confused but as long as the stuff I ordered gets here I don't really care if they come separately.

Took a week for me. I'd expect it by Friday.

You're getting my hopes up, hehe. It's ok... I'm pessimistic by nature. I tell myself December and if it arrives sooner I will be thrilled! Optimistic people will think, "It will arrive tomorrow!" and then when it doesn't they are disappointed. I'd rather not deal with disappointment that's why I do what I do. It's like telling oneself an almost sure falsehood. :)

That's what I do XD assume the worst and be pleasantly surprised if it turns out better. But generally I'm not a pessimist, just a realist ;)

I got the exact same order from the exact same store and shipped on the exact same dates as you: 8 and 12.
Will be interesting to see the difference in time, although it seems puzzles travel faster from China to Canada than to any other place on earth (sorry for the slight pun :D)
Anyway, looking forward to know when you get them, and hope they are good.
