Alpha Feng V (FULL)

[camcuber]

So there is a new Alpha brand cube out called the V-f. I just got it for my store and was examining it and was solving it and lubing it, etc. when I noticed how weird and intricate these pieces seem to be. It has a feeling of a Haiyan's Haiyan cube but also has the speedsolving characteristics of the loved Alpha V. The edges have very small caps and the center caps are very intricate and easy to remove (pictures will be on my store soon). It is actually a pretty good cube and is extremely crispy. I have only done an average of 5 on it and I already feel improvements on both corner cutting and lock ups. The corner cutting right now (factory tensioned) is at about one cubie which isn't bad but not as good as the guhong for example. Lock ups occur during solving because of all of the intricate shapes and designs of the pieces but they are going away as the lubricant works in so that is a good thing. I am keeping this brief and may go back to edit it later but yeah just wanted to tell the people that didn't know about it and give them a brief "review."

EDIT: Pictures are up at the link below!

If it locks up less than my Haiyan's Haiyan cube then I might want to get it.

Camcuber, would you mind stop giving cubes weird temporary names please?
I know that you are calling it like that just for now, but it gets annoying when some random noobs
sees it and starts calling it "The NEW super sealed type XYZ mega fengfeng SV version 3.1415926" cube and post questions
about it that no one coould understand.

I am sorry but this is the name that I was told. I will sell it under the name that I buy it under.

So how does this compare to the A5? I love the A5, but I hate the Haiyan Haiyan cube.

Same size as A5?

are they going to be lubed with lubix yet and can you save me one till you get my cash order

Well, if you say so, I have no right to force anyone to use the naming system that I want (it's a stupid idea to me anyway);
But I just want to let you to know that I think it'd make things a lot simpler if we keep the naming consistant.
New cubers choosing their cube are already dazzled by all these weird, new types and models availabe, and it makes it even
more confusing for them when one cube have like 10+ different names or when the names are misplaced.

I think that it is as good as the Alpha V but it has a different feel so it would be unfair to say which is better through text. If you like the Alpha V you'll love this cube!

I totally agree with you Daniel, I am just saying that I think that I should call it what Alpha sells it as.

Once the first batch is gone, they will be lubed with lubix.

Well, "Alpha V-f" or "Alpha V-SV" is not any different from the name they sells it as, not at all. "Feng" is just a direct (and stupid) translation for the word "sealed" in Chinese. See my explanation in this thread

is there any way i could pay you a $1 or something to get lubix in it

 

[bluecloe45]
