[Help Thread] "What cube should I get?" The Puzzle Choice Thread

[CriticalCubing]

I am planning on buying a Shuangren v2. I like the feel of ChiLong so any other cube that is like ChiLong?
or shoudl I just go ahead and buy Shuangren?

The weilong isn't giving me any good times anymore. I need a fast cube. Any decent ones?

I ordered a weilong from lubix and they messed up my order in exchange that will give me 10 dollars off any cube what do you recommend

Well if you were originally going to purchase a WeiLong then maybe go with that. I would say Zhanchi but I'm biased and people say it's outdated. It also depends on what cubes you already have and what you're looking for.

Haha, no. You don't need another Zhanchi.

I'm looking to get into more difficult puzzles, like a square 1. Which should I get, and is there any other puzzles that I should get?

I'm looking for a newer good 3x3.

 

[guysensei1]

Newer and good,
Given your times from the WCA page, Weilong.
Or if you prefer crunchy, Liying.

I would just recommend the full size weilong.

Should i get a Shengshou 4x4 v5 or Yj Shenshu?

From what i hear, the YJ Shensu isn't a great cube by any means. It locks a lot and is prone to popping. If you want a good 4x4, get an AoSu. But if you do not want to spend too much money on a 4x4, or if you do not plan to get serious at the event get a Shengshou or WeiSu. And if you do decide to get a ShengShou, i recommend modding it.

So from lubix the only thing worth getting is the weilong?
I was thinking about the fusion,the Shang ren, a gans 3 or aurora are these any good

Hows the Cyclone boys 6 pack of cubes? The competition legal ones that can be made into force cubes. What cubes are they a KO off and is it worth it?

its only worth is if you cant afford the cubes that they are Knocking off, so just buy the real thing if you can, they KO, ZanChi, WeiLong, ShuangRen and some YJ cubes.

I am looking to get a cube from lubix and I can't decide on which one I have a mini weilong and a non lubix 55mm zhanchi. I was thinking maybe a aurora, shuangren, lubix fusion or gans 3 what do you recommend

Just checking you're aware that all of these cubes are significantly bigger than your existing cubes? I assume there's a reason you went for a 55mm zhanchi and mini weilong?

Which of your existing cubes do you prefer?
