Shengshou 6x6?

[masterofthebass]

They're not copying it. That's what a YJ 6x6 is. The shengshou 6x6 shares some similarities, but it's been improved upon enough that it can hardly be called a copy.

Hardly? Have you even seen the mech? Adding little flaps of plastic doesn't make it a whole new mechanism.

if the man/company who invented the tv sued every other company that tried to produce a tv, there would be just one brand selling tvs, one brand selling cars, etc. just think about how similar all the cars are... My point is that if he keeps playing unfair he will just lose his clients.

That's exactly what happened until the patent expired. EVERYTHING you use from the screws in your computer to the lightswitch on your wall was patented. This is how the patent system works. You are just annoyed because you have to actually support a company who brought you something that never existed before.

If that was all that was different, wouldn't it turn almost exactly like a v-6? Judging by the video, it doesn't.

 

[masterofthebass]

It looks pretty damn close to a broken in v6 to me... Have you ever even seen a good v6 turn? Go watch the 6x6 WR video and tell me it doesn't look better.

I'm asking this out of curiosity, not cynicism: is Hays' V6 modded? If it is, then as far as I am aware, I haven't seen a good 6x6 that wasn't modded in some way.

iirc emilys 6x6 isnt modded and its pretty nice

It looks better, but not quite like the shengshou.
You know what, it doesn't really matter much. Verdes may or may not have taken down the shengshou 6x6, and whether or not some people agree with him or not, it probably won't make that much difference. So everyone can just keep their own opinion about it, and there isn't really a need to get into pages of heated debate about whether or not it's a KO.

Compared to mine, yours is amazing.

Lol, I can't do (sexy move)*6 in less than 12 seconds on my V6. (i.e. less than 2 TPS ;_;.. )

Modding the cube is something that makes it way better, and I would like V-Cubes to take note of that, but they obviously feel that if you want to speedcube at the highest level, you can sand some pieces yourself. Non-modded v-cubes are still pretty good once broken in.

Ok, I don't want to fight, each one have an opinion and see the situation from a different angle. Just saying that if Verdes keeps doing it, he will lose a lot of clients.

And those clients won't have 6x6s presumably. Thats the choice that they are making. I think V-Cubes knows more about manufacturing and selling cubes than anyone on this forum, so how about we let them do it their way.

By releasing a new cube every 1-2 years and attacking any company that tries to make a cube even remotely similar to theirs? Sorry, but I just don't see how that's a good way of selling cubes.

By spacing out cube releases So people won't be overwhelmed. While also defending their patents from other companies trying to steal their mech.

This thread if funny, 'cause Dan is 100% right and almost nobody agrees.

I certainly wouldn't be overwhelmed if they would actually release a new cube every 6 months or so. Also, if they're just defending their patent, then what's all this stuff I hear about v-cube attacking the alpha 5? It just seems a bit ridiculous.

Don't believe everything you hear.

 

[Hershey]

then what's all this stuff I hear about v-cube attacking the alpha 5?

I thought it was resolved? Cameron put the Alpha V back on his shop.

It's funny how quick you all are to jump to conclusions, and how ignorant people in here are. There isn't any point arguing if you aren't willing to change your opinions. It just becomes blabber.

Ok.
I'm very sorry for doubting the authority of v-cube to take down cubes that resemble their patent. I now see that they were only doing the right thing.

Now let's just keep our fingers crossed and hope this shengshou 6x6 thing gets sorted out.

Someone call you ignorant and you change your mind??? and I really think they are not doing the right thing. At the end I just hope they find a way to sell the SS 6x6, just like the X-cube 4.
