Upcoming 3x3s

[Michael Wimberly]

i agree with both of these, but i feel like it’s only in the case of 3x3. Every cube manufacturer right now seems to be struggling to innovate with their flagship releases, probably because we’ve reached the limit for 3x3 hardware (except smartcubes).
But GAN hasn’t touched a lot of events yet. GAN could always just stray away from 3x3 for now and work on releasing their Square-1 (gan just release it already it’s been like 5 years since they announced it) or updating other puzzles like their 2x2, Pyraminx, or Skewb.

I do think their 2x2 definitely needs an update, at least on their outdated adjustment system.

Absolutely, I think that Gan should step up their smaller cubes or at least attempt to improve them. Its been over 5 years since their 2x2 and Skewb were released which impresses me because of how many world class solvers still use them after this long.

SoupTimmy reviews the Tornado V5!

The box looks a lot like the tv3 Premium

“Integrated core MAX snapping”
“A magnetic field for breaking”
seems accurate to me

"Omni-directional magnetic linkage system" This sounds like a GAN ad

Do we really need that many magnet settings though?

20 magnet ball core!
Except for that it's just ctrl+c ctrl+v

all this just for it to sound like a rat's stuck in it

I get so ticked off when people complain about "issues" that are literally so easy to fix. The sound isn't that big of a deal. Qiyi even said that they are gonna fix that problem when the cube is released.

Why? It's literally telling you that Qiyi didn't do quality control on the product. That SHOULD get people complaining. If they didn't notice or correct something so incredibly obvious, what other things did they miss that are more subtle?

Gan, but slightly largerView attachment 47343

57mm... Yeah, definitely large. I can't tell a difference between my 56mm main and one of my old 57mm 3x3s.

I can tell the 0.5mm difference between my tv4 and my GAN16. You'd be surprised at the difference 1mm makes.

hmm yes, the advertising is very accurate
“explosive speed champion”
yeah, it’s definitely going to explode within 4 weeks before you even become the speed champion

I hope it doesn't explode. The core is supposed to be stronger this time, I hope it really is.
