Ya, how is the Moyu Dianma? Would it suit me? I average sub 35. Is it better than the Zhanchi?

The DianMa is good for your speed but it's no where near as good as the Zhanchi. I find the DianMa sluggish and clicky and the middle layer is awkward to turn because the pieces are not proportional. Mine also catches a lot. I feel like this cube is a hit or miss. Some people love it and some people hate it. Speed wise though, it would work for you.

Ya like you said. I'd probably buy a Weilong/Zhanchi/Shuangren/Aolong once I get sub 20. BTW did you see my sub 35 filmed average in the unofficial solves section?

I am currently using a Old Lunhui that doesn't have torpedos( they all broke) I am averaging about 21 seconds. My turning style is very messy, fast. Even though my lunhui is good at corner cutting it locks up too much. Any reccomndations?

 

[PJKCuber]

Zhanchi or Weilong for You FailCuber

Dayan Zanchi 3x3

Does the dayan zanchi pop frequently?
Do torpedoes come together with it?
Kinda wanna buy it since its one of the best speedcubes....

No, yes -- get it, you can't go wrong with it, unless it is defected, that is. You may also want to consider the Moyu cubes, they're also very good.

Next time, you can post these kind of questions in this thread.

Moyu Yileng or Traiphum Megaminx Ball?

I received forty dollars for graduating 8th grade with all A's and I want to buy a new puzzle. I cannot decide between the Yileng and the Megaminx Ball. The Yileng would be more of a challenge but the Megaminx Ball might be more entertaining. Will someone help me in this decision? Thank you.

 

[ComputerGuy365]

There is no moyu cube called a Yileng. Do you mean a Liying?
If you want a fast speed cube get the weilong. If you want a collectors item, get the megaminx ball.

The yileng is the moyu fisher 4x4

 

[ElectroCuberZZ]

Yea i meant the moyu fisher cube 4x4 or the traiphum megaminx ball? Non-WCA

 

[PJKCuber]

Ok. Here is an in depth description of which cube I want - A crunchy crispy feeling, fast speed, good corner cutting, NO POPS, and good M slices... Can anyone tell me aboout a cube that fits this description?

 

[FailCuber]

If you want a crunchy feeling, I would reccomend MoYu Huanying. But WeiLong can be a good choice too.

 

[DoctorPepper]

Depends. If you know how to solve a megaminx, why not try something new.

If you really like mega, maybe get the ball

You just described a Fangshi Shuang Ren.

I know how to solve a megaminx and I don't practice that much so I might as will get the Moyu Fisher cube. Thanks.

Also, any recommendation for begginers? (for my friend)

A lot of people say the shengshou aurora is a good "beginner" cube.

A ShuangRen, or an AoLong, but the crunchy sandy feeling wears off after a little while

 

[David10000]

Which is better- the Weilong or the Aolong?

 

[Petro Leum]

What is the difference between the Gans Puzzle 3x3 III v2 (which is 56mm) and the "Gans Puzzle 3x3 III 57mm" (which doesnt say v1, v2 or vx)

Also, having never owned or tried a moyu 3x3, should i get both the weilong and the aolong 57/54.5mm for 2h/OH respectively or can you easily say that one of them beats the other?


EDIT: Oh, and did anything happen on the stickerless puzzles debate? or are they still banned from WCA?
