[Help Thread] Puzzle Choice Thread

This isn't about 3x3's or stuff it is about what puzzles i should get. The most fun ones. i.e a lingao magic, qj tiled pyraminx etc. I only have a 3x3 (zhanchi) and i want other cubes. Whatever puzzles you think are fun say them and also say the best one of their type. i.e shengshou 4x4 instead of 4x4

2x2, 4x4, 3x3x5, pyraminx, square 1, and 5x5 are pretty fun puzzles.

The puzzles ottozing just mentioned are the main ones that I would recommend. Also, If you are going to get a 2x2 I strongly suggest a Ghost Hand. Tower cubes are also quite fun to play round with. (I don't personally own one but I have used my friends and it is surprisingly quite fun )

Guhong V1 or V2?

I was thinking about getting a Guhong and I was wondering witch virsion is better? :confused: Thanks :3

 

[xcuber123]

version 2! it is the same thing as a v1 but it has torpedoes. Which can be removed.

What do you think about buying YJ 6x6. I heard it can misalign same as V-cube. I'm not good in doing modifications so pin mod isn't an option. I just like to know your opinion is this possible to deal with those misaligns and get good times with this cube.

Should I get a guhong v2 if I modded my guhong v1 to a godly guhong including torpedoes? It seems to lock up a lot....

The YJ doesn't lock up often, so you don't really need to worry about that. However, it feels really cheap and loose and explodes frequently. You should probably get a Shengshou 6x6 instead (or the v-cube, but as you said, you're not very good at modifications).

Hi, I am newish to cubing and have only owned a store bought rubik brand cube. I have decided that I want a new cube, but never realized that there were so many out there and am a bit confused. Basically my problems with my old one are that it is hard to turn and locks up a lot. Something else, although I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done about it, is that now after extended use the stickers on the cube have become a mix between slick and stick (hard to describe, maybe like butter?). So I was wondering what advice you all might be able to offer me. Thanks in advance!

Most people will say Type C WitTwo.

There's a decent difference between the WitTwo and everything else.

Other cubes are so significantly better that it is probably best to get one. If you do this, the Dayan Zhanchi, Guhong, and every other Dayan can be considered the best.

It is personal preference, For me my favorite is lanlan 2x2

 

[a small kitten]

Have you tried the Type C WitTwo?

 

[Raiz]

I go with my lan lan. the Wittwo is great dont get me wrong its just too fast and crispy for me.

 

[Vipervenom9]

I have a have a Wit2 and i don't know why you would want anything else... fantastic and incredibly smooth cube.

Wittwo is about 10 dollars, lanlan is about 5. Of course it depends where you buy, could be more/less, but if price is a large concern just thought I would give you that info.
