3x3: Classic puzzle and really fun
2x2: Fun to solve, and lots of cool algs to learn
3BLD: Fun to watch and quite impressive
MBLD: Ultimate test of memorization and focus
FMC: A unique event, has a lot of puzzle theory
4x4: A big cube that does not take long to solve, and nice to watch.
5x5: See 4x4
OH: Very fun to do once you know how to turn, and some OH algs are fun to do. Different methods are viable such as Roux and ZZ. One thing preventing it from being S is that it’s not exactly unique, it has quite a similar solving style to 2H.
Megaminx: Unique 12 sided puzzle, it has a lot of lookahead yet it does not take long, can sometimes get a bit boring as it is a lot of F2L, but you can do cool things with it.
Pyraminx: Short Quick event, and good for those who want to get into spammy one-look events without learning much algs. Tips are so annoying though.
4BLD: 3BLD with a lot of new techniques, requires more memory and takes longer, but not by that much, and it can still be fun to watch sometimes.
(FTO if it became an event): An Octahedron puzzle that does not take long, and has a unique solving style.
6x6: Long event that is sorta repetitive of 5x5
Skewb: Kinda a mid event. I like to solve it, but it’s kinda a repeat of 2x2 and Pyra, and solving can be kinda repetitive unless you’re advanced.
Square-1: Can shapeshift, which is cool. Sometimes it’s just alg pause alg though which can be boring, and parity is annoying enough that those who don’t learn CSP are at a disadvantage
5BLD: Takes a while and losses its novelty after 4BLD. Can still be impressive though
OSMBLD: Very impressive and is really cool when done at home, but in comp, it would take way too long, and I can see why the WCA switched to New Style
Feet: It has a really hard barrier to entry, it’s not an event you could just decide to do one day, and some people find feet solving gross. It also suffers from OHs similar to 3x3 problem, but not as much, as there is a lot more opportunities to try new things and techniques in feet.
7x7: Takes too long, though I think it should stay in the WCA, the WCA kinda needs a marathon event, and 7x7 accomplishes that.
Clock: Shouldn’t have been added in the first place, it is not a twisty puzzle, and compared to the other puzzles, matching colors is not the objective of clock. It has benefits though, such as being the event with such a high turning accuracy, and it’s puzzle is the one where the regulations allow you to customize it the most with your own decorations and stuff, which can be cool for some people. With new methods, it’s not that easy to remove clock as of now.
Magic: You can’t really scramble this puzzle, and you do the same things over and over again.
Master Magic: Who’s idea was it to make a 5x5 version of a stupid event? They could’ve done Gigaminx, master Pyra, or even 4MBLD or something. No, the puzzle they decided to make a variant for was Magic
