[THE_V01DL0RD]

imma get 2 more to make up for time lost. I just need a decent sramble

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

Also it's gonna be christmas soon so I want to get some new cube but I dont know which ones. I want something fast controllable good cornercutting.
I want a
3x3
2x2
megaminx
Squan
Clock
4x4
There are other stuff but this is the cubing stuff I want(other than 2x2x3). Im asking you because you probably own more speedcubes than i ever had

x man tornado is supposed to be really good. I main the wrm 2021 maglev. gan 11 m duo is my favorite gan cube and it is cheaper than the others.

for 2x2, I main the qiyi ms. very good build quality. good corner cutting. a very quick cube. mgc 2x2 is also good, but a bit more flimsy imo.

I bought a yj yuhu for mega.

the mgc squan is supposed to be the best one out there.

I don't do clock.

mgc 4x4 is the best along with the aosu wrm, but aosu is more expensive.

ZBLS

How many algs?

 

[OtaMota]

302, you could also do alg sets like VHLS, which has like a tenth of the algs of ZBLS, but you might want to find a way for your scramble generator to have the f2L pairs only be 3 move inserts to get the most benefit, because VHLS only works with 3 move inserts.

Also it's gonna be christmas soon so I want to get some new cube but I dont know which ones. I want something fast controllable good cornercutting.
I want a
3x3
2x2
megaminx
Squan
Clock
4x4
There are other stuff but this is the cubing stuff I want(other than 2x2x3). Im asking you because you probably own more speedcubes than i ever had

Here are my recommendations(Budget, Midrange, and Flagship) I personally have not tried many megas are squans, so my feedback will be limited there:

Spoiler: Recommendations

3x3:
Budget: Dayan Guhong Pro 54 or 55 mm, this is a very good cube and is on sale a lot. I personally main this for OH, and the cube's performance is unmatched at it's price point.
Midrange: The RS3MV5 Ball core is a very good cube as well, I personally prefer the guhong but many top solvers are using this now and the performance is very good as well. It is not very forgiving to inaccurate turners though.
Flagship: WRM V9 Ball Core - This cube is incredible, I would recommend the Special Edition, it is my main and I think it is better than the normal ball core one.

2x2:
Budget: YJ Yupo, when setup correctly this cube is actually phenomenal(in my opinion). I think that it is better than the Qiyi MS, but the Qiyi is more stable.
Midrange: The Tengyun Plus is nice. It feels good, but the only reason I do not main it is because it feels somewhat hollow.
Flagship: Gan 251 Pro, very good cube, my current main, probably not going to change for a while.

Mega: The Guhong Pro is the best, but I have not tried it yet.

Squan:
I've only tried the MGC, but it is incredible.

Clock:
The Qiyi is the only viable option if you want to get good at clock, but the shengshou works for just learning to solve it.

4x4:
Budget: Zhilong Mini - Good with setup
Midrange: MGC, very good with setup. My current main because I do not own an Aosu.
Flagship: AoSu WRM, best 4x4 there is. I've tried some, and the turning is nicer than the mgc.

Hope this was helpful!
