What has your main 3x3 progression been like?

[ColeTen99]

3x3: Rubiks Brand: Sub 1 min. Dyan Zhanchi: 30-40 Fangshi: 25-30 New Rubiks Speed Cube: 20-25
4x4 Rubiks Brand: Sub 3 min. ShenShou v4: 1:40-1:55

 

[ColeTen99]

3x3
Just learned how to solve - Ancient black tiny cube that had been sitting on shelf
5 to 3 minutes - Knockoff bought in a toy store
3 to 2 minutes - Rubik's
2 to 1 minute - Alpha 1
1 minute (didn't cube for 1 year) - F2
1 minute to 25 seconds - Lubix Zhanchi
25 to 20 seconds - Moyu HuanYing
Sub 20 (current) - MoYu WeiLong

2x2
Sub 8 (current) - VCube

4x4
5 to 2 minutes - ShengShou v3
2 minutes to Sub 1:30 (current) - MoYu WeiSu

Have you considered getting a different brand 2x2? Just a tip but it would probably help your time get to around 5-6 seconds

When I learned to 3 months later: Rubik's storebought. Then in a backpack throwing incident the core cracked.
a month after that to 3 months later: Transformers cube. I took the stickers off my broken Rubik's and replaced the Transformers stickers with them so it was essentially a slightly better Rubik's brand.
July 2011 -> now: Zhanchi.
Whenever it gets here: possibly a Weilong if I like it better than my Zhanchi.

i started speedcubing in october, ive known how to solve a rubiks cube since for about 7 years. after about three moths i knew full OLL and PLL and have averages of 12 at about 24.00 seconds, so id say thats pretty good for only a few months.

Rubik's: 2:00 - :45
Stickerless GuHong v1: :45 - :40
Lubix GuHong v2: :40 - :30
FangShi Shuang Ren 54.6mm: :30 - :25
YJ Yulong: :25 - :18

 

[TinaIsAwesome]

I'm not sure about the numbers but I'm pretty sure these are the cubes I've used as mains.

3x3:
- Rubik's Cube
- Cube4You
- Type A
- Alpha V
..Took a long break from cubing...
- Dayan Zhanchi
- FangShi ShuangRen V2
- Zhanchi
- Current: 55mm Zhanchi

The MoYu LiYing and 57mm Gans III are both potential mains but I haven't had either long enough to make any decisions yet.


2x2: Rubik's Ice Cube, Eastsheen, Lanlan, WitTwo, Dayan, WitTwo, 55mm FangShi ShiShuang, Current: MoYu LingPo/55mm FangShi ShiShuang
4x4: Rubik's, Eastsheen, Mefferts, Maru, ShengShou, WeiSu, ShengShou, Current: MoYu AoSu

 

[intheowetrust]

Rubik's brand until 1:00
DaYan ZhanChi until sub-25
FangShi ShuangRen until sub-20

 

[CrimsonRunner]

3X3: original rubiks 53
Guhong 13 (Pll skip + good pairing), average in low 20's
Pyramix: QJ 11

 

[Mario22]

damn bro you are pretty good at 3x3 but haven't done 1 average on 2x2 yet.why?

Probably because he doesn't have a good cube. I know did almost no 2x2 until I got my DaYan, and when that died I did almost no 2x2 until I got my LingPo. I now do 2x2 a lot; more than 4x4.

Yes, that's the reason because I haven't done any average yet. The ss is very smooth and controllable, but it locks up a lot. After 2 or 3 solves, I usually stop using it. Then there is a second reason: I don't use ortega but just what I know from 3x3s, so to me the 2x2 is just a simplified 3x3.

 

[Yellowsnow98]

Rubik's
Guhong v2
Zhanchi
Guhong v2
Zhanchi
HuanYing
WeiLong
Gans 3

Atm I don't have a main. I just pick up whichever cube is closest. (Though I like some more than others.)

 

[porkynator]

Rubik's
F-II
Guhong
F-II
Zhanchi
And now I really like my SS Aurora, I'm probably going to swtich to it.

 

[natezach728]

Rubiks until sub 1
White zhanchi until sub 50
guhong v2 until sub 40/30
black zhanchi until sub 17ishh
2 55mm zhanchis / weilong until about sub 11 - where i am right now

This was over a period of about 2 years

 

[CriticalCubing]

Local Brand
Rubiks Brand until got Sub 40
Weilong until Sub 30
Chilong Sub 22
LiYing Sub 20

My 3x3 but for practice I pick up any once of the Chilong, Weilong or LiYing. Others are not that good for speedcubing

 

[tacgnol]

okay lessee if i can remember...
2x2 - Eastsheen, Lan Lan, V-Cube, DaYan (current)
3x3 - Rubik's, whatever, GuHong, Zhanchi, Shuangren/Zhanchi (current)
4x4 - Rubik's, Mefferts, Maru, X-Cube 4, Weisu (current)

i have no idea what the time progression would be.

 

[DAoliHVAR]

a moyu weilong v1 is on its way for me,im excited to see if its all that everyone makes it up to be
i certainly hope so

 

[Escher]

Times are way too far back in the past to list, so I'll just go through the models;

- Type A
- Type C w/ old A core
- Type D w/ old A core
- Type A-II (this was godlike)
- Type E (after A-II broke)
- A-V for a while
- F
- F-II
(don't remember if there was an interim period of other cube designs or not)
- Guhong
- Guhong II
- Zhanchi
- 52mm Zhanchi
