How much CSP do you actually use in solves and how do I go about learning it lol

Eh I'd also learn some of the easier EPs as well like opp-O and Z and stuff even if you're not sub-15. Also is Cale's or BLD CSP better

Should I learn CSP at sub-13

Is CSP worth it at sub 15 (12.95 ao100) or should I refine my algs and learn more ep/blockbuilding stuff?

TheCubicle just released their preorder of the v2m: https://www.thecubicle.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/dayan-tengyun-v2-m-3x3

PicubeShop did a review of the Tengyun v2m with a prototype: It does look very good and is still quiet

Well seeing as COVID-19 is a thing manufacturing has probably come to a halt. It was projected to release sometime in March but who knows now.

(1,0) / (3,0) / (-1,-1) / (-2,1) / (-1,0) or -2,0/3,0/-1,-1/-2,1/ or 1,0/0,3/-1,-1/1,-2/ or 0,-1/-3,0/1,1/2,-1/ work best for adj/adj swap. Depending on the EP case you can use these to swap adjacent edges on the top and bottom layer.

parity is when two edges are swapped (adjacent or opposite) If you have a z perm (two adj swaps on one layer) or adj/adj (two edges swapped on top layer and two edges swapped on bottom layer), you do not have parity. There is no double parity on sq1 like there can be on 4x4

Great documentary! I'll be sharing this with my cube club

any estimates on cost?

I think that there are many aspects that can/will be explored in the future. Like you said, some will seem useless and random. But I can see several recent innovations be perfected or tested still. Ridges/concavity weighted corners/pieces (or lack of weight) size (smaller and larger cubes)...
