The cubing argument thread

[Zain_A24]

From experience the plastic feels different on both cubes. Theres quite a bit of internal friction on the Meilong that I personally didnt like compared to the RS3M 2020, and in terms of feel they're both quite "boring to turn" compared to something like the MS.

my rs3m 2020 is not boring to turn because it has a natural sorta squishy feeling even with minimal lube

the slight scratchyness and the squishyness at the same time is something I LOVE about my rs3m. I also like the sound, its oddly satisfying

4x4 cannot be the best bc parity also clock is underrated. Intuitive solving puzzles are great

2x2 is a good event because the top solvers can one look through many algorithms and they have fine tuned turning execution

as much as I love 2x2, it is entirely luck based and you need to know alot of algs

Yeah, 2x2 is a good event but I won't memorize a bunch of algs for a cube that's almost entirely based on luck. The odd number cubes, 3x3, 5x5, so on are pretty good, being not too luck-based, and barely any parities, (besides the edge parities 5x5 and up).

4x4 cannot be the best bc parity

just a little challenge to make it more fun and difficult.

oh yeah I'm pretty sure I used his page for 2x2 ortega algs

and the algs weren't even good

I learnt all my first PLLs, OLLs and ortega algs from his website.
They're ok but not that good(except for Ortega algs which are actually good)

I don't think he is the worst, especially compared to some of the judges I have seen at comps, as well as people that are downright malicious (ex. cube stealers, altering results to your favor if you are staffing, etc). However, there is a case for that being true. Especially with the management of the WCA board. I can't tell exactly why but something always seems off with the decisions they make. It's less of what everyone wants and more of what our overlords on the board want.

BUT, we all know who are the worst people in the community. People that put negative times into cubemania.

YESSSSSSSS!!!!

Seriously though guys. If you use anything, for any reason, other than your OH hand for OH solving, it's not OH solving. [AKA table abuse during OH is cheating. WCA rules are bad for this. Roux being justification for table abuse is a bad argument. Use rR'/Rr' for M moves and realize that roux is just not a viable method for OH solving. Even though L6E looks completely badass and is one of the coolest things in cubing, it's not OH solving.]

here's me who uses table abuse for every PLL lol
Roux sorta is a bad method for OH. (CFOP is no better). ZZ is the best for OH bc of RUL turning. #cruzzade

lol

 

[BenChristman1]

I really only use table abuse when I am either aligning layers, or doing M moves during a PLL (U and Z, because I’m too lazy to learn new algs). I also use CFOP, so M moves aren’t necessary in every single solve for me.

I have long thought table abuse should be outlawed. It's absolutely against the spirit of the event.

"Spirit of the event" Literally, the best way to describe the feeling I couldn't articulate. GG
