i still say skewb should be added.

what about polymorphinx? super sqaure 1? its just like the "big cube" expanded from the square 1. like the 4x4 and 5x5 are expanded from the 3x3.

I don't follow. A new event is only worth doing if it involves at least a little specialized practice.

Sorry, fixed

Polymorphinx is stupid-looking, and also the same as a Skewb. Super Square-1 is just solving two square-1s in a row, except for the fact that the puzzle turns like crap.
 
While I don't necessarily agree that any events should be added, the one I most think should be added is pyraminx crystal. It has all of the requirements that would be needed to make events official (accessible, widely owned, and I'm sure that the megaminx scrambler can be used or adapted for the pyra crystal.) It is one of few mass produced puzzles that requires a ton of intuition, and the times for it are pretty reasonable. That said though, I also see no reason why a skewb shouldn't be considered. Also, a puzzle that I would love to be added but never will be is the shepard's cube.

Also, I have to vote an absolute no on void cube, any extension of an event we already have (2x2 bld, 4x4 OH, etc) or the floppy cube.

No. The number of people who have one now makes this a bit hard to realize, but it was a *limited edition* puzzle, and isn't sold by Mefferts anymore. If you don't have a pyraminx crystal, it is VERY hard to find one - they're very rarely on eBay too. Nobody else makes them in large-ish quantities. Also, the puzzle is difficult to turn rapidly because of the mechanism (and that's one reason I'm so impressed with Simon's video :P).

I think 8.23% of the 3x3x3 entries have completed 3x3x3 BLD,
while if you calculate that for Square-1 BLD, you'd get something like 22 people in the world who can do Sq-1 BLD. and since it is way harder, I don't think it will even break 10 (for competitions), and If you figure those people are spread amongst the world, you'd have like 1-2 people per competition competing. So why is this a good idea again?

5x5 blind is official and it has 8 official successes.

It's 23 official successes.

Tbh i'd like to see mirror blocks believe it or not. It can be difficult to practice but i've seen a 10.xx time, so results can be very fast. Other than that maybe a supercube on 3x3? Or how about a relay. I could watch some of the fastest cubers do all of these, all day.

Yes. Mirror blocks!!!! Also gear cube is really fun. Not too hard.
 
I don't think we have had a new event for several years and I don't see why we should not have 1 or 2 new events.

My event ideas:

- Starminx (the corner turning one)

- (2x2 MultiBLD (with a short time limit (10 - 2 minutes possibly) to keep things from becoming SUPER massive (like a 1 hour x/300 for example would be possible assuming some good MultiBLD-er with a LOT of 2x2s would do it)

- Skewb

Some less serious and unlikely events:

- Mouth Solving (would need a good mini 3x3 and to not be grossed out by the prospect of putting a cube in your mouth)

- A very unlikely and hard to do event: Random Cube Shape Solving: each competitor gets a cube that is in 3d printed, but it is in a shape that is randomly generated, each 5 scrambles they get a different shape with the same scramble, so the people that are good at this event have to be very adaptive.




-2x2 MultiBLD (With a very short time limit like 10 - 3

What made you think of that? And it would be impossible to do any turns.

I'd like Mirror Blocks, 2x2 MBLD, 4x4 MBLD and possibly some relays (3x3-OH-BLD; 2-3-4(-5), 2BLD-3BLD-4BLD)

Relays would be awesome. 2-5 and maybe 2-7 with a one hour time limit, because not all of us are sub-7 xD.
