Why is everyone mad that this cube is potentially the new cube to have?

>Implying that the F-II is a smaller size.

As I stated I don't have the f-iis yet (I ordered 4 of them). I was under the impression they were smaller sized like the av. It's great news for me that they're not. (I like full sized cubes for tiles)

The FII is a full sized cube, but requires smaller stickers because the cubies are rounded, so there's less flat area for the stickers. Full size stickers/tiles aren't really a problem, they just chip at the edges a bit easier.

How many FII's have you had? And the corner cutting was ok, until it popped if you went over 30 degrees, or put too much force on a turn. It was also only decent overall, except for the completely unwarranted pops that screwed me over >_< I had one for a while actually, and liked it, but that was when I thought that it was an FII, and not a YJ.

I got my F-IISE 2 days ago, truth to be told I haven't tried it out that much (been busy with my 4x4) but I am entirely confident that my YJ 3x3 beats it in corner cutting.
The YJ 3x3 I have can cut corners at a ~35° angle and not pop at all while the FII doesn't come near in corner cutting.
I am not saying the F-II is a piece of ****, it is just as good as my C4U but as far as I've seen the F-II preform, it doesn't go anywhere near as good as a YJ 3x3. I know that YJ's are just cheap knockoffs of good cubes but I am amazingly impresed of how good they are sometimes.

Just STFU it's your choice what cube you like.

People who don't have one and say it's great are bad, but no worse are those of you who say it seems like crap when you also don't have one.

It's a good cube, the av/memory may be a bit faster but overall it's anything but 'crap'.

The best way is to file the end of the spring so that it is smooth, it will no longer scratch the inside of the cubie and no more noise.

>scratch the inside of the cubie

Implying that there isn't a washer.

I am only recently back to cubing so I'm not familiar with all of the new cubes and their internals, I should have mentioned that I didn't know exactly

You're talking about cubes that you don't even own.
This is the second time, about the same cube.

 

[Joker]

I actually made a pretty freaking good hybrid thats about as good as my F-II and now my main one handed cube (F-II is now only my main two handed cube)
Its a transparent DIY core with Rubik's brand cubies
Its really good

Have you even tried loosening it?

 

[splinteh]

Chill people. We should be glad a new cube is coming out.

 

[EnterPseudonym]

To me, the F-IIs are incredibly overhyped and exagurrated.
Nothing beats the YJ 3x3 as fasr as corner cutting goes. I have yet to see a single cube be more smooth or cut corners better than YJs.

... All of those statements are false.
One, YJs suck at cutting. Two, F-IIs are amazing. Three, F-IIs and A-Vs are much better than YJs.

Oh cool, opinions can be false now
Why don't we get rid of verbs while we're at it.

sure why not?

Simply stated: It isn't crap, it's a very good cube. There will still be tons of f-ii vs av/memory vs guhong threads of course, lots of people are now used to the slightly smaller size of av/fii. The guhong goes back to full size + more blocky feeling rather than rounded/bubbly. I prefer it simply because I have gotten very used to tiles over the years and like that it's full size so tiles fit perfectly again.

My avs: Pretty good.
My memorys: Great.
My guhongs: Also great.
My f-iis: Not here yet.

The F-II is actually a little bit larger than many other cubes....

I think you guys should say which YJ cube you are referring to when you are talking about it....

because of the torque and that it doesn't overshoot as much, but not a good OH cube because it stops easily.

sounds like a perfect OH cube.

sorry, i meant too easily (for OH).

 

[ChrisBird]

I think this guy is just trying to sell it rather than give us a real explanation.

It looks nice, but I'd rather wait until people have tried it and confirmed this 'best cube evar' with video before I believe it.

Anywho, it's interesting.

Aren't you supposed to be the one buying it and telling your 5000+ subscribers your opinion?

Yeah, just throw a cheap shot out there and hope it is accepted as a real rebuttal.

EDIT: That is, if you are responding negatively to his statement, rather than actually posing a question. If not, then please disregard my statement.

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

Let's just wait and see what happens.

 

[AngeL]

Instead of arguing, someone give some useful info. I want to know some specs about this cube, because I'm wanting to order a new F-II alternative. I want something crunchier, heavier, but still just as resistant to locks. I'm pretty set on the AV, but if this cube is really that good I might get it instead.

 

[TrollingHard]

Video or it didn't happen.

 

[EnterPseudonym]

I plan on making a review, but that wont happen until at least july 8th

Alpha V is NOT resistant to locks. Or at least mine isn't.
