MoYu 13x13x13

It was a video that was informing us about it. Also in the video he said that there is not much info about it. If he said more of how big, when it will come out, or price then he would have helped it in away.

Yes, nothing to do with me. I just wanted to share the great news with my subscribers. Youtube has a far wider audience than any forum thread.

Why? Can someone tell me the appeal of cubes that large? A friend has an 11x11 which we solved in about an hour, casually, and it was cool. And it definitely looks cool. But I wouldn't ever solve it again, so apart from the ridiculous memory feat that will probably be eventually attempted, why is this exciting news?

$300+ for a cube you'll solve a couple of times ever, will probably turn like crap (and if it turns well then the layers would constantly be misaligning making it hard to turn)

I just don't see the appeal in such a huge cube, nor why a market for it exists.

My practical limit for solving cubes more than about twice is 10x10. I've only solved an 11x11 only once and it took me 150 minutes.

I would not buy a 13x13, even if it was good as it would cost way too much. I am not rich and the very finite money I have must be used for other things like buying CD's, DVD's, downloads on iTunes, etc.

That's a funny assumption. I've solved plenty of strange, non-WCA puzzles without an tutorial. Just because I can probably solve most puzzles faster than you, doesn't mean I can't work out puzzles for myself. The only thing you can assume from time, is that maybe I'm BETTER at working out new puzzles than you.

And you're also implying that a 13x13 is somehow difficult. It isn't. It's trivial for anyone who has solved a 5x5 (or even 4x4).

I solved the Gear cube, shapeshifting 4x4x6 without any help just a couple of weeks ago and I solved many other puzzles before that. If you understand simple commutators a lot of puzzles aren't really hard to solve, just slow.

Okay people, please stop bashing other people.
 
Which one is more pathetic? Solving the exact same 3X3 200 times a day or spending an hour on an 11X11? Who cares? It's just whatever you're into. I fit somewhere in the middle of this where sometimes I will pull out my 9X9 for a couple solves, then do my Teraminx, and then spend an hour on 3X3 solves.

Ha ha, feels like I'm back on the twisty forum. My reply was to Kirjava and had no assumptions or anything to do with you or solving a 13x13x13. I was responding to his mild / good natured / friendly attack.
 
I'd just like to point out that Kirjava has invented a whole bunch of solving methods, and also contributed a lot of ideas and algs to the Roux method, which is used by the guy who has the unofficial average-of-100 world record.

Anyway, I probably won't buy this puzzle anytime soon, although I'd like to eventually. I have a bunch of big-ish cubes but don't get around to solving them all that often.

He is not saying speedsolvers are incompetent for solving a puzzle with a method of your own, (which is what you thought he implied,) but rather the majority of speedsolvers use a common method that they have not created themselves. Some take fun in speedsolving, solving crazy, rare, and difficult puzzles, or designing puzzles. he made a simple joke that i thought you took to personal.
