The cubing argument thread

[MJS Cubing]

I have a 55mm black Tengyun v1, and a 56mm stickerless XS. I love the feeling of the Tengyun, and the performance is outstanding. However, the stickers are chipping (that's my bad), and now it's harder to lookahead/track pieces since there is less to look at, on top of the smaller size of the pieces.

On the other hand, the XS is 1mm larger, and stickerless, meaning I can easily find pieces when I'm solving. I haven't really found the perfect setting, but the performance is pretty good despite the not-the-best-feeling-compared-to-the-Tengyun. The XS is simply more practical in my case, and for this reason I found myself using it more than the Tengyun.

If I were in your situation, I probably would go with the tengyun, simply for its smaller size. Smaller cubes have benefits, such as being better for oh, so you only need to carry 1 cube to a comp, and IMO, smaller cubes are easier to manage with fast turning.

I see how this could apply to some people, but it's not really the case for me. I personally don't practice OH (I might later this year), and my hands sometime struggle a little to turn fast on the cube. With the XS, this isn't really a problem. I might consider getting the Guhon v4, since it does come in stickerless, 56 mm, and it has a nice feeling (literally all the good from my Tengyun combined with the good from the XS).

Prediction: By 2025 there will be Ex-Mars cube 2 with a feature called "autocorrect" It'll find gods number or lower and sort of walk you through the solve, 8x8 will be a new event in the WCA, and V-Cube will make a comeback with the "V-cube 3 v2 M Ultra" A 3x3 with 60-degree corner-cutting, and a spring compression system. And our next U.S. President will be able to solve a Rubiks Cube.

Prove me wrong.

uhhhh i hate to say this but you can't logically "prove wrong" predictions
although most of your predictions seem extremely unlikely

A 3x3 with 60-degree corner-cutting

"60 degree cornercutting" is just 30 degrees reverse cornercutting

Well for starters, we will not have 8x8, since most people don’t see a point in 7x7, there will probably be an EX Mars cube 2 later this year, and V cube is deader than roadkill in a desert.

V Cube is backrupt and does not have funding for a new revolutionary cube.
Biden will still be President by 2025

I agree on the first point, but I think Biden will loose the 2024 election to a republican.

The X-Mars cube 2 would get rid of some features and it would be shaped like a normal 3x3

He said BY 2025. 1 term is 4 years. He started in 2021. Even if biden loses, it will still be the case

The next election is 2024. I can see where you’re coming from, but if he looses he won’t officially be president come 2025.

 

[SH03L4C3]

he will still be in office till jan. 2025.

Sticker mods and shape mods are two completely different things, and categorizing them with each other is not fair.

Ture, but they both still suck

SpeedCubeShop is better than the Cubicle

SpeedCubeShop is better than the Cubicle

No, they're not, The Cubicle has better premium/custom cubes, better prices, and better customer service. I literally live 2 hours away from SCS but sometimes, The Cubicle still ships cubes to me faster.

SCS gets 10% discounts which The Cubicle only gets 5%

The Cubicle gets 7% discounts actually, as well as free stuff with orders over certain amounts, very often. Even with the 3% coupon difference, The Cubicle's prices are still so much better.

Umm.... no? Please check your facts before making blatantly incorrect statements.
