Pillowed V-Cube 6x6 and 8x8

[Michael Womack]

Let me guess when the V-cube pillowed 6x6 comes out it will have a similar mech the the 8x8.

V-Cube Patent:

Actual Mechanism:

Wow.

A pretty hypocritical move by V-Cube, if they expect their stance in the community to stay as the "pure and not copying" one.

 

[Me Myself & Pi]

Easy, support the one you think is the best. If you want to support the original inventor, obviously buy both. But if you honestly think the V is the best, support that one.

Yep, I just got the Shenshou 8x8 too and I'll be doing just that.

Hopefully these cubes aren't Dayan knockoffs like the V-Cube 3 >XD

 

[Dapianokid]

Wow, because it really matters that much about the origin of the invention...!
I just hope it turns well.

I fully expect the good folks over at a certain other puzzle forum to start calling anything with a 2x2x2-based mech a knockoff... even if it was designed before the new V-Cubes.

haven't most other v-cubes been a very expensive let down?

Not in the least. You're just too new to know.

back in the day i realise they were the only big cubes out there,and cause of that they were good back then.
what i meant was the 3x3 sucked,4x4 from what i heard was alright but not that good compared to the shengshou,6x6 required extensive modding etc etc
and their price is pretty steep...

This post on TwistyPuzzles by someone who is apparently part of V-Cubes says that V-cubes is using this design with mf8's cooperation.

That is very interesting.

But I wonder. Why did MF8 not bring out their own 6x6 and 8x8 before they worked with V-Cubes?

They had plenty of time to do it.

I agree it's been like 3 years.

Personally, I love v-cube products. Sure, SS cubes are better out of the box, but I modded my v5 and v7 and the v5 is WAY better that a SS5, while the v7 is about 5 seconds slower on average. I think the pillowed v-cubes are especially nice...I own all the pillowed cubes and will definitely buy the 6x6. It can't be as bad as the original v6, right?

nop they said that it is even better than the v7 but to be honest with you I hate the v7

 

[sellingseals]

reading that persons link to the TPF, the V Cube person said that MF8 was going to release one but then admitted that some of it violated the V Cube patent so they did not. This is the reason they teamed up with MF8, because they had the respect to not make a V Cube KO so they teamed up together to make it. That's what I got out of it. who knows, maybe V Cubes have just seen people calling it a KO though and made it up. The only way is for somebody to ask MF8.

That was great news to hear! I received an email from [email protected] stating the same thing. I must admit that I made a presupposition and I apologize for that. My faith in the V-Cube 8 has been restored.

 

[Dapianokid]

At least MMAP is mature and faithful in his position. I suppose I'm being ignorant, but I honestly don't care where my cubes come from or who made them as long as they are good.
But, I understand the dynamic behind who made which cube.
I think my first 8x8 may be V-cubes becuase it's pillowed.

I would recommend this over the Shengshou, as it cuts corners better. It also works better when modded, than the SS.

For 5x5 there was other competition, and the V5 outstripped the others by far. Even still today the V5 is, at worst, the second best cube around. Personally I think an unmodded V5 is better than an unmodded dayan5x5. I never modded a V5 so I can't say anything on that, but I think a good V5 is just as good as a modded dayan5x5 (I just prefer the dayan for the smaller size).

I still think the V6, when broken in, is better than SS6x6 (and I use the SS at the moment; only because I haven't got a useable V6 and don't want to buy one when the SS will do for now...).

Sure the 3x3 kinda sucked, but I think they did that more to have a complete set.

As for the V4, I think it is different to the SS, but pretty much equal to a modded SS. The new moyu (?) 4x4 that is out is better.

They're expensive, but I reckon they're doing pretty well considering how old some of the technology is now.

i didn't understand what you meant in your last sentence,can you explain it a bit more?
anyhow,you said it yourself,most of em are at best,as good as their competitors,but coupled with their expensive price,why would you pay a lot more for the same thing?
