Lubix Ultimate Disgraced by "Cuber"

[SoupFlies]

But I suppose they understand why some people take time to train for football, soccer, base-ball, car races, and even running. Sometimes (or often, at high level) they even take drugs to be better. But speedcubing… oh no, what a waste of time ! You can't even win money or becoming famous with that !

I am glad you took the time to read my post and take it for the meaning, rather than understanding it as what everyone posts.

The heart of the cube is its 8 corners because its number does not change

Heh yeah. And ironically, some of these are the very same people who will sit there and scramble my cube for me for 15 minutes thinking they can somehow stump me if they scramble it hard enough... even though I have explained that there's limited moves that the cube can do and after a point you can't make it any more difficult (but can possibly make it easier) :fp

I find it extremely strange that somebody can make a thread based on one word being repeatedly said with different emphasis and everyone's fine with it, but everyone can be horribly offended by an equally amusing thread, that is also making a point.

What are you talking about, speedcubin was clearly not the same word as speedcubin, and how could you even remotely think that speedcubin is even CLOSE to the same thing as speedcubin, I think you need to go and learn speedcubin cuz thats much easier than speedcubin....

nub.

lol kids these days with their youtube videos...

I guarantee this is not the last video of this sort... there will likely be some other person that will do the same thing.

Now in regards to this thread. I agree with a majority of the posts here that this is not a big deal at all, and rather annoying yet entertaining. We all seem to like drama in some odd way. A spark of this drama is going to be beneficial to lubix sales. This makes me want to start some drama too.... but wouldn't that just be annoying?

lol. entertaining thread.
Dear OP, with all due respect, and acknowledging that Lubix is doing a BRILLIANT JOB,
if any one that should be really offended would be Mr. Erno, or Ms. Fridrich, or may be GuHong makers or WCA rule makers.
You guys only put a little fluid in a pre-manufactured cube and chip off a few milligrams of plastic. (again, I do not mean any sarcasm or any such thing. i do respect Lubix)
So this has nothing to do with your company. and as all say, relax, enjoy the show and keep up the good work!!
btw nike shoes analogy!!! i loled .. nice one statue.

I totally agree with you, but I have one question : what is Pixel 6 ?

Are you asking where he chose his name from or something?

Now that it is shown that making such videos actually "works"... ;-)

This thread caused me to order a Lubix.

oooo now i get it. great marketing tactics by lubix. lol... just kiddin.

 

[d4m4s74]

The real reason is that I haven't been on speedsolving.com for a while and I just found the lubix

 

[SoupFlies]

Depending on when you ordered d4m4s74, we may have sent it out today. I know we had a few international orders go out today! Hopefully one of which was yours.

 

[d4m4s74]

Yesterday. I ordered an ultimate GuHong and 8CCs of lube. But take your time, as long as I have it before april 2nd (Nemo Amsterdam Open) it's all good.

I think you make great cubes (lube them anyway) and I believe the cubing community is going to be put off by some idiot who's using your cube, it's like if a serial killer/rapist went around wearing nikes, noone really cares what s/he used, just what he did.

EDIT: i thought I put idiot, apparently, it was something else that needed to be censored also added she

EDIT2: Just noticed someone else did the same ****ing example like 3 pages ago shows how limited human thinking is.

 

[Cool Frog]

Im not going to buy a lubix ultimate because of this.

Didn't want to read through 6 pages of comments, but I felt I needed to put in my two cents, which I'm sure have been put in somewhere in the middle pages that I missed reading:

Dude man... it's a cube. I'm sure it's awesome indeed if the current fastest cuber in the world uses it, but seriously? It's a cube. Get over yourself. This is like saying that if someone known for using a certain type pen cheats on a test, he's disgracing Bic or whatever pen company.

If a guy is cheating, he's disgracing only himself. The tool which he uses is irrelevant. Maybe he's using Lubix to add weight to making it look real, but in the end, if it's caught to be cheating, then the cube is irrelevant. The tool is not to blame for the actions of the user.

That guy didn't disgrace the cube, but only used it as a tool to disgrace himself, yes.

But even if he disgraced the cube itself (e.g.: making a video saying that "this cube is crap", which I think is a negative review rather than disgracing), or did something really nasty to the cube (like when they reviewed the Perodua Kelissa car in a Top Gear episode, and said that the car is really crap and ended up torturing the car, and if I remember right, they finally hung it in a tree or something), still it's nothing to make a fuss about.

After all, the world's fastest not only uses it, but mentions that in his official youtube channel in his world record video. And everybody - including myself few hours ago - follows LibuxCubes tutorials on the youtube. So what? A random dude somewhere can change that reputation? You are way too defensive. Get over it dude, we all are with you.
