Should the kilominx or other puzzles that is easier adddd

OK I think we need more event because as a begginer I am only competing for 3x3,2x2,4x4,skewb,pyraminx and clock (still thinking if I should join megaminx) and it feels a little boring only these 6 so I was thinking that we should have more

Get faster if Ur board then

OK but still I want something more fun

@abunickabhi can tell you how fun multibld is

I really don't want to be mean, but this just sounds like skill issue, easy events aren't more fun, are just easy
I also like short events, but now I got some insane motivation for 4bld, a really not short event, just practice more longer events and you'll see how fun they are

It is personal preference.

I enjoy it a lot, but I can't relate that to too many speedcubers around in my community.

Everybody agrees that we need FTO to be official. Also I want mirror blocks needs to be official, and agree that we need kilominx. As for events, we need 2x2 OH and BLD, and the same goes for Pyraminx.

 

[Yann1qua12DagOat]

The problem with adding events to the WCA is eventually they'll eventually find the least popular already existing events and remove them (too little competitors), and they probably won't want to add too many new events which also won't have a lot of competitors, so I believe the only cube that should truly be considered is FTO.

 

[L4NC3_D4_AS14N]

honestly just FTO and Mirror blocks. (this is just my opinion but as much as I love 7x7, I don't think it should be a WCA event along with 6x6 JUST MY OPINION THO!)

 

[precompsubwr]

2x2 is easy enough for fastest event, but I would like to see FTO become an event because it's unique compared to the other events, I could see an argument made for kilo and mirror blocks but those are just variations of already existing events

Also unpopular opinion: Redi cube should be added too

 

[LBr]

I’ve always maintained that clock should never have been an event as it doesn’t fall into ‘twisty puzzle’ or ‘cube’. Doesn’t seem likely but it’s a hill I will die on.

FTO should be added I don’t think that’s much of an opinion, and I am quite conservative on adding/removing events.

Kilominx adds nothing new so that should just be confined to non WCA.

I made a thread once about adding mirror when the gan came out. But the problem is the fastest people could just be the fastest 3x3 solvers who bother practicing. Of course the best outcome is a generation of new top 100 solvers who have mastered spatial awareness and mirror blocks-specific look ahead/recognition. Also would be interesting if CFOP was ditched for an efficient method.

OK I think we need more event because as a begginer I am only competing for 3x3,2x2,4x4,skewb,pyraminx and clock (still thinking if I should join megaminx) and it feels a little boring only these 6 so I was thinking that we should have more

This is just such a bad reason for wanting to add events. Your repertoire is quite narrow. You could learn larger nxn (wouldn’t be too hard; you can solve 4x4), 3bld, or a new side event like mega or sq-1. This will enrich your experience. The WCA has a good balance between ‘easy’ and ‘hard’ events imo, and others might have contrasting opinions like wanting to add longer events.

In any case, the ‘I want to add an easy event so I don’t have to learn anything new’ is a terrible argument for whether a new event should be added.

In answer to the thread title:
There is no compelling reason as to why kilomimx or another “puzzle that is easier” should be included as a WCA-recognised event.

OK I think we need more event because as a begginer I am only competing for 3x3,2x2,4x4,skewb,pyraminx and clock (still thinking if I should join megaminx) and it feels a little boring only these 6 so I was thinking that we should have more

Speaking as someone who does 6 events (2-4, mega, pyra, OH), this is absolutely not grounds for the addition of other events. Adding an event to the WCA takes careful consideration, and of course, the event needs to actually have merit as an event (which, as @LBr mentioned, is something that both clock and kilominx lack).

It is my (albeit, very unlikely) hope that one day we’ll stop seeing new event proposals, especially event proposals on the grounds of “I want another easy event so I don’t have to learn anything new" [inferred, not quoted], however, I get the sense that community members will never tire of making meritless event proposals.

I don't like multiblind.......

 

[Abram Grimsley]

FTO should be an official event. that's all I'll say.

 

[THE_V01DL0RD]

good point. 5bld is way better trust me

Also the last thing the WCA needs are more 1 lookable puzzles(2x2,pyra,skewb,clock)

we need more events within the 8-15 second barrier

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Other then FTO i only really want Mini Guilford, master pyra and (not really but im world class at it so yh) redi cube to be added.

Maybe then i will return to redi cube.
But for now it should kindly go away from my life.

If u want easier puzzles, then cool.
However that doesnt make them more fun.

4x4 is actually fun imo but I hate it when:
1. cube pops (especially the internal wings)
2. cube locks up
3. I misscramble because I have a skill issue on cubes bigger than a 3x3

Which 4x4 do you use? Because my Vin 4x4 has had some stupid pops (edges just flying out when I have barely deformed the cube), and on the Vin 5x5 sometimes just after I start the timer and I do my first turn, which of course I want to be very fast, the whole thing just locks up and I have to stop the solve to un-pop the cube usually! Super annoying.
