[Help Thread] Puzzle Choice Thread

A friend of mine wants to try 4x4, so I thought I'd order a cheap one for her.
YJ GuanSu or YJ YuSu R?
I personally use a GuanSu and am very happy, but the YuSu R is said to be an improvement.

Also same question but about Thunderclap v1 vs v2? Worth to spend the extra dollar or is the successor even worse?

YJ Guansu still imo, its tried and true, especially for a starting 4x4'er

Thunderclap v1 I have seen to be still the prefered one, so I would seriously reccomend that. Its cheaper, and supposedly locks up less!
 
Yuxin, Bochuang, or Weichuang? I want to upgrade my 5x5, and all three of these are close enough to the same price I could justify getting one, but not multiple.

I don't have exceptionally accurate turning, and I'm actually pretty slow (currently ~4:00 on 5x5 with an unmodded but lubed and broken in SS). I do prefer a fast cube over a "controllable" one. My current 4x4 main is a Cyclone Boys G4, over a full-size Aosu because of size and the speed of the inner layers. Despite preferring the smaller 4x4, I actually have fairly large hands and prefer larger 3x3s.

If you like small cubes you should consider the Qiyi Wusuang too, it's about 2mm smaller.

I personally have a Bochuang, but at a comp, I tried a yuxin, and it was waaaaay faster. Just from that I would recommend the yuxin over the Bochuang, and I don't know about the wiechuang; drew likes it though.
 
Get the Yuexiao, i heard it lasts a lot longer and is almost a superior version to the Meying. Also that corner cutting thoughhhhhhhh. its lit fam lol

I'd say Yuxin (I also have a Bochuang). Not sure about the Weichuang and, yeah, you should consider also the Wushuang.

Just wrecked my first cube(3x3). Glue gunning it and stuff... Any recommendations for a rouxer?
 
I can't find a 3x3 fitting my turning style. I have quite a rough and fast turning style and medium sized hands if that helps. Most cubes I use catch badly and it ruins my solves, any suggestions?

I would recommend trying the Guoguan Yuexiao. I just received my new Gan356 Air in the mail yesterday, and I think the Yuexiao is slightly better. It doesn't lock up as much as my Gan. Hope that helps. (UPDATE: I like the Gan356 Air better than the Yuexiao - just a little bit.)

I am planning to get a new 3x3, so which one my choices would you recommend :-
Guoguan Yuexiao
The Valk 3
Moyu Weilong GTS
(P.S I currently use the Aolong V2 and it's a bit locky for me)

The Aolong V2 locks? I just obliterated my Mini weilong that never locks and is smoother than my friend's Gans, all it lacks is speed. It could not 45 corner cut though.
Edit: Should I get a Guhong?

the moyu definitely beats the qiyi cause the moyu is fast, smooth, and stable; while the qiyi is not. I haven't tried the magnetic one, but I heard it was amazing...

I disagree. I had both and the Qiyi one is smoother in my opinion, and it also has better cornercutting, specially reverse. About the speed, I also think the Qiyi one is faster. One important thing about the Qiyi is that the ballbearings are adjustable, so you can set it up in many ways, not as the Moyu.
I haven't tested the magnetic pyraminx, but I would discard the first version from Moyu out of those three.
