MoYu Aolong V2

[yoinneroid]

I was wondering... Does anyone know what Ao, Wei, Ling, Long, Po, and MoYu mean?

ao means proud or pride, which probably translates to a creation you can be proud of, hence all of their ao series cubes could be their flagship cubes, in their respective orders
weilong... not sure, but google translate gives me veyron, which could just be a name taken from bugatti's highest perfoming supercar
long itself means dragon, 'nuff said
lingpo, not sure as well, but google translate gives spiritual soul
and moyu, means demon, it probably is a play on the word mofang (the same mo) which means magic cube

LOL. Thanks!

Ao (傲) - pride
Wei (威) - majestic
Ling (玲) - Not meaningful on its own, often used as LingLong (玲瓏), meaning tiny in a cute way
Long (龍) - dragon (different from the Long above)
Po (波) - waves, when used as LingPo (凌波), it may mean "walking on water", and it is used to describe the footsteps of a beautiful woman
MoYu (魔域) - Just a name, literally means the realm of demons

How do you know this? I see stuff like this regularly and the source is never given.

Quite frankly, I have no confirmed information on it. I have both cubes and (I know this sounds stupid) you can just tell. The color and feeling are totally different on the 2 cubes, and the v1 just feels really inflexible compared to the v2. It's hard to explain but I'm 99% sure it's different plastic.

 

[mati1242]

So you mean that the v2 is more stable than the v1?
Do I understand correctly?
Which one do you like better?

 

[kcl]

So it looks like the changes they made don't really do anything. The corner twist problem is still there. And the pieces look almost identical to the V1. Completely not worth it in my opinion.

You're saying this without owning the cube? Wow, I seriously value this statement and I probably won't get this cube because of it, thanks.

 

[WinterCub3r]

Just for the record, I said AoPo first. There for, I named it. (please don't take me seriously)


still said it first.....

MoYu (魔域) - Just a name, literally means the realm of demons

Rubik's cubes are called magic cubes in Chinese, and Mo means magic
So MoYu would (I think) translate to magic (cube) realm.
Unless it's the wrong Mo?

 

[brian724080]

Sorry if this has been asked already, but is there an Aolong v2 mini?

I guess it can, I didn't relate the single character Mo to mean Rubik's cubes (or Magic cubes 魔術方塊). I guess no one really knows except for the person who came up with the name.

dose it say what plastic it is on the box?

I dont think they mention the type of plastic that they use on their cubes

After watching a review of the V2, I'm going to conclude that this is for the money, not for the corner twists. The thing is barely even different. The only reason they bothered making this is that they know a few hundred suckers are going to buy it even though it's not improved at all. They get a few thousand extra dollars without doing any extra engineering. Yay for them.

People claim that it feels different, and perhaps it is a different plastic or something. But the design is practically identical.

 

[RobertFontaine]

They stopped making the old one and replaced it with the improvement for corner twists. seems like a very good response. The aolong will likely be around for a long time. it's a very nice 3x3 once the core is lubed. It is extremely forgiving and takes a pretty aggressive miss to pop.

Mine just arrived today, and after using it for a while, I can confirm that it is very much a different cube. The feel is similar, but as many people have noted, it has lost some of the bubbliness that the aolong v1 had. Unless I got an unusually good unit, I think many of the people who dislike this cube were expecting the aolong without corner twists, and were annoyed when they got a cube that doesn't feel exactly the same.

Overall, great cube, just not the same as an Aolong v1. Still deciding which will be my main.

 

[Paradox Cubing]

The internal pieces don't have much difference, but the edges of the cubies are less rounded and more sharp (like the weilong). This makes it more stable and corner twist less. It is actually a huge change from the V1. I've also noticed, the V2 is a bit slower, but I sill haven't lubed it.

 

[MarcelP]

T I've also noticed, the V2 is a bit slower

I still have not gotten my V2's yet. But hearing from most people that have them, saying they are slow is really making me want them to start produce V1's again. I think the V1 is allready too slow. But since it is such a great cube that is just a minor flaw. I really hope the V2 is also a great cube. But after seeing the reviews I think it might actually be worse than the V1.

Not sure if it's just my tensions, but my v2 is actually faster than my v1. I already gave my opinion above about the reviews (bad ones seem to come from those who expect the same feel as an aolong v1, the good ones seem to come from those who look at it as a different cube). Personally, I really like it, I think it's might be my new main.

 

[ALX]

I have one. Moyu confirmed that they did indeed change the plastic in the first batch of v2s. However, they used a better plastic in all the rest. The new plastic ones are much faster and less sluggish. Supposedly anyone who received theirs in the new box with the clear front and tab got the newer plastic. I got the new box, but I think mine is actually still old plastic. Hm. If anyone knows a better way to differentiate between the new plastic and the old plastic please let me know.
