Agreed. Maybe there is fix using the center. Not sure just a thought.

Looks awesome! I only hope that it hasn't got that ShuangRen sandy feeling. Looking forward to get it

WOW I would not be surprised to see it being better or the same as the older Fangshi 3x3s.

Doesn't look like the mech would cause too much catching since everything is still anchored down unlike the plates on the C4. And those wing/torpedo/feet things are enormous.
Interestingly enough I never suffered from corner twists on the ShuangRen. Then again I do have a pretty neat turning style.
But yeah, I like the big wing torpedoes, and the big feet on the corners, since on loose tensions on the SR what actually happens with pops is really that either the layers will disengage enough for an edge piece to twist out or a corner comes out and is followed by the rest of the cube in a huge explosion.
I really want this to be good. Since it looks awesome.
Looks like it will be fun to assemble
. Wish it were coming out sooner. Can't wait till February.
EDIT: I just realized that when this cube comes out people like me won't be able to call the ShuangRen the "Fangshi" anymore.

The Murphy's law is "What goes wrong can go wrong."

No..? That makes no sense.
More like whatever can possibly wrong, will go wrong, at the worst possible time.
I'm a little confused by what this whole "separated pathway" thing is all about.
anyway, this looks like it'll hold together insanely well, even on loose tensions. I like this, because I've been noticing that on other cubes, I get a lot of lockups at angles that would usually be able to corner cut, simply because of the way the pieces pull apart due to tensions. If these pieces do as good of a job of staying in place as I think they will, this cube is gonna be amazing. I cannot wait to try this thing out!

Yaay
for me it's V2 though because I really messed up the lubing of my V1anyway, is there anyone in here with a WitLong (Type C Version IV) who could eventually figure out the "separated pathway" thingy? As far as I'm concerned it refers to the interlocking of the pieces...

Yeah it has to do with how it has like 3 levels of interlock between the pieces.
I feel like we're approaching a pagoda design.

From studying the puzzle, I think this may be a slight improvement over other the ShuangRen, but I am still looking forward to the E-cube 3x3 v5. The versions are number from when the E-cube designer thought of the concept, not when they were designed. While I am really looking forward to the E-cube v5, I still see other concepts that could be applied to improve the cube.

Regarding the E-Cubes, yeah the designs are cool.
But the Type 8 is way overkill. I don't really know about the Type 5 since I can't tell what the corner pieces look like.
I wish the designer would post better CAD images. Of individual pieces and whatnot, from various angles.

Finally.
Maybe this'll get people to start calling the Fangshi the ShuangRen
