Hi guys. I like skewb. so much so that I have reached a few podiums in competitions. My main is the wingy and I usually average from sub four to low four.
I respect your opinion that Skewb is very fun. I do quite like it. It looks cool, it feels cool, and it’s new! Newest added WCA Event! Skewb is fun!

Ignoring one's own preference, is there a logical objective arguement for what makes an event the best? I would suggest it's one where luck is a low factor yet the event is popular enough to have a lot of people doing it very seriously.

An event with low luck would probably be 7x7 or megaminx. But I doubt them being very popular and not a lot of people would see them as favourites. I think luck is important to make an event good. But not too much luck should be involved. It should be a mixture of luck and skill yet it should still be popular.
