Brutally Honest Cube Review

[kcl]

Yes, I do. Also, I won't change my mind, because you say that Dayan is good out of the box. I think, that it isn't and it isn't worth 20$, that's all.

Suit yourself. When fully modded, SS and Dayan are both equally good. That being said, SS needs a full florian mod while Dayan only needs some edge mods. When you add up the difference in time, it's pretty large amount. Time is money. That's my 2c, if you think otherwise that's your right.

...stupid.

You need to lube and tension it. Most cubes aren't good out of the boxes. Just cuz you payed $20 doesn't mean it has to be amazing out of the box. What about break in time? Do you expect them to do 500 solves for you?

 

[arcio1]

I don't expect it to be amazing, it should be good, but after 1000 solves, lubing, tensioning it and 120PEM it still isn't.

48PEM means what??

48PEM means what??

48 Point Edge Mod

 

[Teencuber]

Oh, got it. Sounds simple. Thanks for the pointer.

Being brutally honest that was a terrible review.

 

[XTowncuber]

I don't get how you can possibly even have a "brutally honest" opinion of this cube when you haven't lubed it. Really, just lube it. Also, have you seriously done 500-600 solves on it? Because I think your PB would be a TON faster if you had.

Clearly you're doing something wrong. Mine is great.

also shouldnt all reviews be brutally honest

you are suggesting that your other reviews arent brutally honest, so no one should watch them csch who wants to wach a fake review

 

[youngcuber1]

For you to solve that megaminx 500 times at the speed of your PB it would take you 43.58 hours. So I doubt you solved it 500 and spent almost the equivalent of two days solving it. Also you don't get your PB every solve so these calculations are more in your favour.

okso here's a solution, get a shengshou mega, mod it, solve it, get fast, love it, forget dayans even exist, problem solved

 

[Teencuber]

And I agree with that, and I did do the 120PEM last night, AND lubed it, and my opinion of it is now the exact opposite of what it was.

You love it now? Sounds like a more accurate assessment.

 

[antoineccantin]

"this is my first megaminx"

aha! Here's your problem!

 

[Weston]

I don't understand why you pretended to like it at first lol

 

[Owen]

Haha, this thread is brutally honest.

 

[Lchu613]

Edit the OP to say you like it now then. People will be confuzzled.

"I've had this cube for a while but I'll pretend like I haven't used it before"
"wow this is really smooth and fast it's good hahah heheh ahaha eheeheehe snort"
"subscribe pls"
"this sucks i hate it" (compared to all of the other megaminxes you haven't tried)

Out of all the 30+ megaminxes I've tried from scrambling at competitions and ones I've owned, the single best is the DaYan (with ridges) Megaminx that MadeToReply owns.

Also you say that ShenShous are fine because they're impossible to tension (which they aren't) but the DaYan is awful because it CAN be tensioned but you fail to? I don't understand that logic.

This review just hurt to watch. It dragged on and on and basically said nothing. And when you rate it "7/12" or "MAYBE 6.5/12" that scale is pointless as we have nothing to compare it to. If I give my main cube a rating of 8/10, then saying cube x get's a 7/10 has some perspective.

As to speeding up a video, it can be done with Windows Movie Maker which is free software.

What kind of ***** makes a review of an cube without lubing it and tension it first?

It like judging left over pizza after taking it out of the fridge without first heating it.
