2020 Revolutionary cube

[SH03L4C3]

What cube last year do you think we will look back at in 5-10 years?

Qiyi Clock and MGC 6

For 3x3, I would say the Valk Elite because it introduced center-edge magnets and the whole concept of putting magnets in unique places
Also there's the Qiyi clock which is the world's first good clock

even as a gan hater I have to accept that the core-corner magnets were an impressive innovation. I try to take an objective view of things, and you should too.

They're cool, but not revolutionary. Maybe if that style becomes popular, or it will just be one of those things that no one likes.

I'll try to be unique with what I think. I think that the MGC repulsion will be one we look back on, because its so unique. Maybe the Guhong v4 and RS3M 2020, because they are really good budget cubes. The Gan pyraminx and skewb would also be cool (even as a gan hater) because they are the first skewb and pyraminx with the adjustability. Of course the Qiyi clock and MGC big cubes are ones that will probably be looked back on too.

I think both the MGC Repulsion and Gan 11 were very interesting releases with repelling magnets and corner core tech. As someone with both cubes, I actually think that having a cube magnetized like the Gan with repelling center edge magnets as well would make for a really fast and stable cube, which would be really cool.

I've already forgotten about the MGC Repulsion.

I think the most influential cubes of the past few years were the little magic, valk, GTS2, WRM, RS3M 2020, and GAN X/XS/11M pro. I don't own any GAN cubes but I can't deny that GAN cubes are widely popular. Maybe I'll include the Tengyun v1 just because it proved Dayan could be competitive again.

i think the mgc repulsion will be forgotten fairly quickly. iirc only 200 were ever made, and werent even that good. people hardly talk about them now, and i think that in a year they will be forgotten, unless yj suddenly decides to mass produce them again.

 

[Opitmally average]

I would say the RS3 M 2020, i can perform just as well on that as I can the gan 11 m pro, I was about to say the gan cube, and even though the core magnets allow it to be perfectly stable yet really fast, I think people with just see it as another gan release

 

[abunickabhi]

For me it is the Dayan Tengyun cube, its v1 was released in 2019 and the v2 in 2020. Both the cubes have the soft plastic that Dayan always has, and I love these cubes for spamming 3BLD sessions, and CFOP+Roux random solves.

Tengyun v1

I agree that the RS3M 2020 is one of Moyu's most important releases. While we've been getting budget cubes that have excellent performance for years, the RS3M 2020 actually became the cube of choice for some top level solvers. According to Phil from the Cubicle, the cube sells like crazy and is a "freak of nature". I have the cube myself and it does not feel budget at all. It's really good.

 

[GAN CUBER]

For me the rs3m 2020 and the qiyi clock

 

[Sub1Hour]

I don’t think anyone will care that much about 2020 cubes as much as people will still care about the original Valk M

Qiyi clock also think of the popular cubes in 2015.

Aolong v2 thunderclap were popular back then. But the variety of cubes back then was less than today. But it was more than it was in 2013.
