New MoYu / MFJS 6x6 - RS6 M

Look like SCS has removed their video on the RS6 M/ MeiLong v2 6x6. Imo that was the worst vid I have seen from SCS. Saying that it is the best budget 6x6 while locking up over and over, without even comparing it to something like a yushi v2m or mgc 6x6 which are supposed to be in its price range. I just don't think I have learnt anything from that moyu ads from SCS with it lacking too many essential informations like whether the frosted plastic is hard to grip, how is the corner cutting, whether the magnets strength are reasonable for a 6x6... Tbh it's just like a non cuber unboxing imo. I just don't understand how he can describe the feel as "premium" instead of saying something like "tactile", "buttery", "crispy", and doesn't even include a solve (at least want to see a solve on 3x3 stage). I don't even know if it has stronger inners or outers.

Here is a video that has kind of shown how that moyu ads from SCS was like:

(I'm posting it here as the original video from SCS is no longer available)

DianSheng 12x12 M

Crazy. It feels like the magnetic 10x10 was yesterday

Crazy. It feels like the magnetic 10x10 was yesterday

That was the 11x11. 10x10 was the day before yesterday.

 

[CatSharked]

That was the 11x11. 10x10 was the day before yesterday.

I didn't even know they had 11x11 until I saw this thread.

Cubicle Vids > SCS Vids

I found daily puzzles’ vids excellent as well, since they can usually come to a conclusion when comparing cubes, and they are doing meaningful comparisons unlike SCS comparing the Aofu wrm to the spark.

unlike SCS comparing the Aofu wrm to the spark.

What's wrong with that comparison? They're both flagship cubes.

Like the mgc 7 was considered as the best 7x7 before the aofu wrm came out, so they should have compared it to the mgc 7 like the cubicle did and the cubicle mentioned the spark as well when comparing the aofu wrm to the mgc 7 saying that both the mgc 7 and the new aofu wrm are better than the spark.

I don't follow SCS's channel because they seem pretty low quality; did they compare the Aofu WRM to only the Spark? Because if so, then yeah, valid point; many people were preferring the MGC 7 over the Spark.

That said… I've tried most flagship 7s (Aofu WRM, Hays 7, MGC 7, Spark), and I think the Spark (which is my main) is still a serious contender against the WRM. Not out of the box (it's too sluggish and prone to lockups), but nothing a little spring modding and lubing can't alleviate.

Yea SCS compared the aofu wrm only to the Spark.
For the Spark, when it comes to spring modding, I believe that should change a lot as I have done spring swap on my Valk 5 M with my Yuxin Little Magic M 6x6 before and both turned out to be better, and I know that spring compression can also change a lot on big cubes too like I have heard some people doing spring compression on the QiYi 9x9 and made it a lot faster and better.

I have just unsubscribed from SCS channel because of their low quality vids.

Flagship cubes do not always perform well, like the Valk Power M and the MoYu DianMa (not sure if you've heard of that as its pretty old, it is a 3x3 that has thinner middle layer)

New ShengShou YuFeng 3x3 with core magnets, dual adjustment system, and its even UV coated!

And it is also maglev

Seems like it isn’t really maglev and it is just advertised as maglev. Obviously, ShengShou ppl don’t really understand speed cubing hardware.

 

[Kaiju_cube]

I think that's the one Phil literally threw in the garbage and said it's a bad cube. I'll see if I can find the video...

found it. Last moments of the video he says if the company doesn't improve they're going to stop stocking them and then he throws the cube in the trash.

First 3x3s of 2023! - Which one is Trash? - YouTube

I do appreciate their honesty.
