Im worryed bout 3x3 what do u think is good for sub 25

As long as you have a speed cube and not a rubiks brand, you should be fine getting sub 25. It's about your skill, not the cube. However, some popular speedcubes include the Zhanchi, Weilong, CX3, Gans III, Guhong, Fangshi, Aurora. And this is only a few.
 
I'm looking for some new puzzles. I'm thinking about a skewb and a pyraminx.
 
Both are really good. Take your pick, smooth vs crunchy, super fast vs controllable fast, etc.
For OH again both are excellent.. Just pick one and you can't go wrong.


Don't even start.

Excuse my ignorance, but is there a community dislike for the fangshi? Or does rj just have a well known distaste for it? I've seen a few things about the fangshi, including the quote in your signature that imply a dislike for it haha

Nope I think you misunderstood.
The Fangshi, while indeed a pretty controversial and cuber-specific cube (i.e. some people love it some people don't), was probably not what kennan was referring to. Rather, rj's extreme (and sometimes annoying) fanboy-ism of the Weilong.

Actually a lot of people do like it. That quote is from Chris Olson. He is a nub. And rj is just weird and reallllllllllly biased.

Ya there are some but I myself think it's a very good cube and it's my main.
 
Thanks for the responses! Sorry I missunderstood, I was just confused because it's currently my main and honestly can't see a reason someone would hate it. Sure, if it's not your thing it's not your thing. Personally, I like the weilong, but can't see why everyone sees it as superior to other cubes. I see it superior in some aspects and inferior in others. Basically it's an equal in my eyes to say a Fangshi, Zhanchi, even the CX3.

Yeah. Just ignore rj. Cause he has no clue what he is talking about.

My sig is what happens when I talk to Chris too much. I have more quotes like this lol. Fangshi is a great cube performance wise. It's just that RJ recommends a weilong to everyone, including people that it will not work for.
 
Ok. Then at what avg should i bbut the GuHong v2? And what is YOUR main?

For the description you cave, a guhong v2 might not be your thing. It's very fast, but it's relatively clicky. Not that it's bad, I own one and like it, but I'm just warning you. The Zhanchi or Weilong might suit you better.

Unless it's modded that is. Unmodded Guhongs are really clicky, modded they're only surpassed in smoothness by maybe the Aurora.

Zhanchi is great too, but it's somewhat crispier than the Guhong. It's pretty smooth modded too, and most say slightly faster than Guhong although not by any great margin.

Weilong is really fast, and not particularly smooth, although not too crunchy either. Might suit you, but it's hard to know.

Also, Shengshou Aurora is really smooth, pretty fast, really good cube. Only it lacks torpedoes so it might pop a bit more if you're a bit rough.

The thing is, though, that everybody can say they like smooth cubes but then they'll hear everybody recommending the smoothest cubes on the market.

I'd rather tell you this:
Gans III, Fangshi, Maru CX3 are all really crunchy, maybe you'd like them if you tried them but they don't fit the criteria you give. All the other cubes above I talked about are the ones that I personally would fit your criteria the best.
