"Is fairly is low"
I think you mean fairly slow. XD

Yeah Zhanchi is still among my favorite cubes. Although I've never felt a good Weilong.

I let you try my WeiLong. Was it not good?

 

[Lchu613]

Ok, to fix that statement:
I don't remember ever feeling a good Weilong, since I don't even remember trying yours. XD sorry.

 

[sneaklyfox]

I lost my Zhanchi.
But my SuLong that I got from wallbuys makes up for that. It's pretty awesome.
I'm actually quite surprised, I thought it would be pretty slow by what others have said. But it's not, it's faster than my Fangshi. Guess I won't be getting a Weilong for a while, until I get bored of this one.

I heard somewhere that some people's Sulongs are awesome and some are not so good. I forget exactly where I heard that. Anyway, I think I am like you because I have an awesome Sulong and it doesn't actually feel slow to me. But it's about the same speed as my FS. I haven't even done a single thing to my Sulong neither tension nor lube. It came like this from Wallbuys.

You've never felt mine.

Marcel, looks like you're going to have to take out your wallet again. Clicky. Though maybe by now the shops automatically take money from your cubing account and send you new cubes.

LOL.. yeah, I probably need one of these.. LOL I signed up to be a tester, I might get lucky as with the V1 where I was an official tester.

About the SuLong, I have three of them, and the black one is faster than the white ones. Normally white cubes feel faster. I like ChiLong a lot better though. I have tried several Ao100's with SuLong but always give up after 40 solves or so because the times are no where near my ChiLong/CX3 times.

PB Ao5 and Mo3! 2014 is going to be great.

Awesome job! Sub 20 ao100 is very near.

 

[MarcelP]

Thanks!

I really hope so.. But for now I will be focusing on 3BLD. So I do not think it will come fast.

What method are you using?

 

[MarcelP]

What method are you using?

Old pochman. One piece at a time, first edges and then corners. I suck at BLD.

I can't even do it XD. I had a success once. Untuned.

You mean untimed. I can't do BLD either; I know the method but not memo.

Me too. I'm trying to switch to M2 for edges but for some reason can't get my head round it.

 

[AmazingCuber]

I'm learning bld at the moment too! Old pochmann corners and m2 edges from Noah's tutorial

 

[sneaklyfox]

Me too. I'm trying to switch to M2 for edges but for some reason can't get my head round it.

It took me like two days to work out the kinks in learning M2 edges. Mainly it was because it doesn't quite work when you try doing it sighted one piece at a time.

I keep screwing up the M2 setups, I don't know why. OP corners are easy enough. I think the brain cells required for M2 were unfortunately lost long ago in a major drinking incident. I will persevere!
