New video: Mains of 2023!

Edit: Something happened, I need to fix it
Re-Edit: Fixed it!

What’s the channel name?

 

[That_slow_guy]

Sounds nice, mine only has like 7.

 

[That_slow_guy]

Do you guys have any content you wanna see?
@1x1 wr holder! wants to see a build video of the NSCube Customs series

What else would you like to see? (unboxings won't happen just money wise, unless you wanna send me a puzzle to review)

It would be cool to see a review on one of your worst and one of your best cubes.

Fixed an issue with the DS 8x8 video. Hopefully it works now.

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Just asking, why charizard mat?

Because I felt like it lol

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Welp, I broke the video again. I will look into it tomorrow and hopefully fix the issue. For those of you who don't know what happened, it seemed to be an issue with YouTube and the video not uploading properly. The audio would echo everywhere and it would sound awful.

Planning to film the 5x5 comparison video tonight.
@Michael Womack I plan to feature the Maglev 5x5 as an honorable mention

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Uploading now!

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Fixed an editing issue in post. The cut is weird so hopefully no one notices lol

This video justifies my choice to main the Spark in 2024, so I approve.

The one major gripe I have with an unmodded Spark is that there simply does not seem to be a sweet spot for the tensions where the cube doesn't pop too often while still having good speed. If you keep it loose, it pops too much. If you keep it tight, it still has deforming lockups that are now nigh impossible to fix because you can't easily remove surrounding pieces (the anti-pop mechanism is its own undoing), and it's also slow.

Mine is spring-compressed so it remains fast even at tighter tensions. The reduced friction also makes the magnetic pull more prominent. The price to pay for that is that corner cutting suffers.

(I also effectively paid somewhere around 90 USD for mine (because I bought two and sacrificed one) so there's probably some sunk cost fallacy going on there too…)

What video should I pick to film next?

Hoya all the way

 

[Dylan K]

As a former Hoya user and current Yau user, Hoya is probably easier to get better at than Yau when you are first starting 4x4 but with some practice, (It took me like 200-250 solves to switch in 4x4) I believe that Yau is better. I will say though, it doesn't hurt to try a new method sometimes because it can help your overall skill in 4x4.

I just figure it'd be fun and good content

I love Yau personally, but Hoya seemed interesting

This is the equivalent of a Jedi practicing sith lightning.

I’ll take that as evil laughter
