MoYu (魔域) WeiLong (威龍) new mechanism 3x3x3 speed cube (20 TESTERS WANTED!)

I dont believe that to be honest. Based on all the reviews I've seen the pieces look exact the same. The cube is of a cubic shape when assembled and I dont really see the purpose of making different sized or shaped corners for the sake of production costs and symmetry for starters.

Also every piece is different for non-BLD speedsolving to begin with, they are stickered after all. I will confirm this in 10 hours.

Also I dont believe Calvin wouldnt notice something like this OR notice it and disregard it with the scolarship and all.


Here for example; No visible difference AT ALL.

Well MarcelP, you have it.

Can you take all the corners apart and take clear pictures of them? If this is the accusation it should be very easy to confirm true or falm.

That what it said on mf8. I think it should be legal too. Dunno bout corner piece, according to this moyu huanying would also be illegal.

Oh and by the way by unevenness and difference in corner piece what they meant is not the corner pieces are different to each other. But because there is a cap, you can tell which side has the cap and therefor you can tell which side is which. If that make sense, basically the each side of the corner piece is different.

It's definitely illegal in china, as people are saying that they won't buy it because of this. If its illegal in china, it should also be worldwide too right?

Also it's a blatant copy of zhanchi, and Mr bao might sue them for it too.

Well if that is the case it should be very easy to mod away even if the accusation is true and well founded + confirmed.

Personally I dont care as I have a great cube already and I dont plan to do competetions with that one or the WeiLong or any other puzzle for that matter.

Modded are still not allowed, the argument goes that it is extremely hard to judge how modded it has to be in order for it to be legal. There is a massive grey area in between, convincing argument, must say.

Me don't care either as I have a great milky zhanchi.

imo it looks like a Zhanchi on the bottom, and a ShuangRen at the top.

Pretty straightforward if you ask me. You super glue the caps on and shave down the sides or whatever else makes it feel unequal. Once you have a cube that feels and looks the same from all directions the cube should be as good as any. However I still dont see how the pieces are different. All the corner pieces are made from the same mold most likely with the same caps, I dont get how you could tell the difference unless there is something extra like flashing that can be filed down.

All of the corners have to have the cap anyway so even if it is on one side only it cant really be argued that it could ever be an advantage. Far fetched if you ask me.

apparently this cube us comp illegal, as the corner pieces are not all the same.

MF8

basically the first line says my first sentence.

Can you translate the second line? too much chinese cube lingo to understand for me.

Basically from what I can read, is that person saying that they get tons of corner twists and think that it's worse than a panshi (or at least really bad) so it doesn't matter that it's illegal or something like that?


We need a WCA on this forum to confirm whether it is legal in comps or not.
