6x6 or 7x7

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Which event do you find more interesting?

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

6x6 all the way
triple parity rules

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

6x6. It is less of a time waste because it is shorter.

 

[fes_77]

7x7 to long

 

[caleb_g]

7x7 is the best event guys

 

[OtaMota]

6x6 has just slightly more theory in it. OPA exists on 6x6, while not with 7x7.

6x6 all the way
triple parity rules

you can achieve triple parity on the 7×7
but you have to make 3 bad edges and then don't use SFS to solve 2 of them

 

[Mike Hughey]

Really curious what really good 7x7x7ers think about this. It always seemed to me like edge pairing optimization can get more interesting the bigger the cube. I wonder if that's really true, or just something I imagine to be true.

7x7 bc when I want a long event and don't want to worry about too much parity, and the AoFu WRM 7x7 is WAYYYY better than the AoShi WRM 6x6

 

[AdvantageousFrog]

I have neither, but both are too long, if I wanted to do one I might as well do 7x7.

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

@Tabe I guess you’re gonna vote for 7x7

Odd. I feel like the AoShi WRM 6x6x6 is WAYYYY better than the AoFu WRM 7x7x7. Not that the AoFu is bad, it's wonderful. But the AoShi is so great it seems almost like a miracle.

I guess it could be different for different people then

I wonder if it is just a difference from puzzle to puzzle. I know you tried my 6x6x6, and I know I raved about it before you tried it. Did you not like mine either?

I remember liking yours, maybe its just the angstrom setup on mine makes it REALLY slow

I used to like 7x7 way more than 6x6, where you can tell from my WCA profile: I got a 7x7 PR but not 6x6. However, now as I got more into 6x6 as well, I prefer 6x6 slightly more than 7x7.

 

[Tabe]

@Tabe I guess you’re gonna vote for 7x7

You would be correct.

 

[Abram Grimsley]

I've been doing a lot of 6x6 recently, and I love it! It is now my third favorite event behind 4x4 and 3x3!

I found that a 7x7 solve is a lot more routine than a 6x6 solve usually be. The l2c cases on 6x6 are usually more intuitive and lots of block building techniques are usually involved especially in the first centre. As for now I think I like both but I perform quite a bit better at 7x7.

7BLD is more heartbreaking than 6BLD. So I like the 6x6 more.
