I've been trying to do a sub-19 with 19 lately. It was a problem i didn't include scrambling in that video. Mo3 could be interesting though.

Plain and simple: do not get your index finger stuck in something so it swells up and you have an ET finger without the light. It makes for crappy cubing!
*hopes swelling goes down plenty before next week's cubing event!*

An interesting thing to think about is the future for puzzle hardware (cubes themselves). With amazing cubes like Zhanchis, Guhongs, C-Vs, etc. on the market, will there be a point where it is simply impossible to make cubes (at least 3x3s) any better?
Let's look at corner cutting. The top cubes on the market right now can cut 45 degrees and reverse cut about 2/3 of a cubie pretty easily. On some cubes, it can cut any misalignment one way or another (regular or reverse). In my opinion, corner cutting is a feature that has pretty much been maxed out.
Even other features like pop and lockup reduction and speed are starting to reach their full potentials. Look at the Zhanchi. It rarely, if ever, pops or locks up, and it's an extremely fast cube.
So what are people's thoughts on the future of cubing hardware? Do you think that there will come a time, in the near future possibly, where cubes become literally "perfect?" What do you think will happen then?

A cube that is:
45 degree cutting
45 degree reverse cutting
no pops
no lockups
feel of a 55mm ZhanChi
Speed of a 55mm ZhanChi
Perfect out of the box
Never wears out.
That's about it that would be perfect for me. But I don't think it would ever get this good I think we have pretty good cubes atm so it won't get so much better. But of coarse DaYan may fall at one point to another brand you never know.

Wouldn't that just cause you to mess up algs more often?

But when would you actually try to do a 45-degree cut in the middle of a speedsolve? The benefit of a cube being able to cut 45 degrees is that smaller cuts are then very easy/smooth, not so that you can actually cut 45 degrees during solves.

No because I wouldn't use 45 degree reverse cutting in a solve. If someone has inaccurate turning like that then that's just O_O

I just got 3 PBs in a row!
2:38.14 on 5x5, then 8:50.19 followed by 8:35.36 on 7x7 in all consecutive solves!!

Why would you want 45 degree (reverse) cutting?
