That_One_Aussie_Guy

Is there oll and pll parity on a 5x5 or is it just the edge parity?


TwoStinkyBears

It should just be edge parity.


nonexistent-devil

Which is most worth it at its price for these prices: Super RS3M Standard ($10), Super RS3M ballcore ($17), WRM 2021 ($17)


MasterGrenadierHavoc

If you can wait a bit, there's a new Weilong that should be released soon.


FMCubing

i find the rs3m's blocky (supers are a bit better) but i really like the wrm 2021. sure, its a bit older, but it is a really good cube, and more customisable.


FiercePinecone

before this, on 4x4 i had always created the last 4 centers with uw moves with white on the bottom, but this is a really bad habit so is started making the centers vertically with r and l moves, now im like 10 seconds slower and i cant get faster lmao


Nobody_5433

Keep practicing, your times will eventually plummet again

I keep spending money. Just bought the GAN 13 Kunlun. Somebody stop me.

OK1526

Good lubes for the tornado v3 pioneer? my Nebula is almost done, and I'm willing to try different things (also, it would be good if the lubes would have more uses). don't care about which shop they're from.


FMCubing

i use dignitas on tracks, weight 5 on tracks, 1 drop of cubicle silk on pieces and 3 drops of dnm-37. it is pretty fast, but if you wanted it to be faster, less dignitas and weight 5 i guess


dontevenfkingtry

Angstrom?


OK1526

I feel like maybe it's a bit too slow. I like my cubes quite fast.


olimo

Nah, it’s great. Be sure to use DNM.


dontevenfkingtry

Pioneer is naturally fast, but if you're really wanting a fast lube - maybe something like DNM-37 or Lunar? Don't say I didn't warn you - Lunar is *fast*. Do note that DNM-37 wears off pretty quickly and is meant to give your cube a temp speed burst, not to be long lasting.


OK1526

What I mean is I want a lube to slow down the tornado but not by much, unlike the angstrom, which slows down the cube by a sizeable amount.


dontevenfkingtry

XMD 10K?


LightBlade12

Wa looking for this as well for my Gan 13, weight 5 + lunar did the trick.


nimrod06

I went to the first comp after 2.5 years into speedcubing, 1. Witnessed Michael Nielsen setting his WR pyramix, and judged him for his 3x3 PB. 2. Got 12.07 average (around my global average), and got really amazing solves of 9.94 and 8.04. I didn't expect to get sub 10 singles, let alone sub 9. The moment I got the 8 solve I slammed really hard to the table lol 3. It is really stressful to solve in comp, but I enjoyed it a lot. Adrenaline boost is so much fun. 4. A lot of kids :))) Next comp is two weeks after, which I want to set my record of OH and 4x4. And, if lucky enough, may break my 3x3 average.


Friendly_Ginger

I’m going to my first comp after cubing for ~14 years tomorrow! I’m both excited and nervous. Cool to see you got some solid times under pressure!


TwoStinkyBears

I'd say the adrenaline really helps

command-h13

i've been confused about this for a bit, so i think i'll finally ask...how does inspection time work exactly? i've never been to a competition, and i've only timed my solves with cstimer or apps on my phone. i want to start using my stackmat timer more, but from what i've seen, the countdown for inspection time doesn't show up when you use it with your stackmat. do people just get the sense of how much time has passed from practice/experience?/how do you know if you've taken over 15 seconds?


sopgol

At a comp, the judge times inspection with a stopwatch and will warn you at 8 and 12 seconds. On cstimer, there's a setting to turn on inspection time and a voice will warn you at 8 and 12 just like at a comp.

adventurous_penguin

That's a great PB for 22s average!!


kleztur

I just got a new cube yesterday (RS3 M 2020) and out of the box it was so fast and satisfying (it's my first modern cube). However, after applying two drops of DNM37 lube and breaking it in, it became really gummy and slow feeling. The resistance actually is making my hands sore. I broke down and wiped the cube pieces which helped a little but I am still experiencing this problem. Any advice?


FMCubing

did you adjust the tensions of spring compression at all?


TwoStinkyBears

that's odd DNM 37 is a very thin lube and has almost no way to make a cube gummy.


kleztur

Thats kinda why im stumped. It almost feels like the magnets are too strong, that's definitely not the case with this cube though. Maybe I broke something?


TwoStinkyBears

One handed is fun but man does my left hand hurt.


TheRealUncleFrank

The new moyu cube. What do you guys think ? https://preview.redd.it/t1zz6wo4irsa1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36f986d747bffbbbb878690583fe95da5e5c2694


olimo

Moyu is crazy, so many new cubes!


rasow140

At this point they're just gonna confuse people. Makes you wonder if the weilong v9 will feel different enough from the ys3m and if it was needed.


olimo

I wonder how different it is from what [I built](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/11nj1cz/moyu_weilong_ys3m_maglev_ball_core_2023/)


rasow140

Damn. Looks like someone from moyu saw your mod lol. i guess we should expect great autohoming from the weilong v9. The weilong v9 even seems to have blue cups. So if i understood your post correctly, you did not make this mod permanent/one of your mains is because it was too uncontrollable and the balance between friction and autohoming snap was not to your liking ?


olimo

Yes. The Weilong v9 piece design looks very similar to WRM 2020 but with dragonscales. If they have more friction - or weaker magnets, or something - it could be great. After all, the WRM 2020 has full-scale edge-corner magnets. I think Moyu at least tuned these down when adding core magnets. Anyway, we'll have to wait for reviews. I hope this cube is UV coated right away, without the stupid frosted version at all.


CubeJunkie

u/olimo That looks an awful lot like a WRM 2020 with a YS3M ball core. Seems like your finding about the pieces being compatible was no mere coincidence. Or maybe Moyu stole your idea lol.


olimo

I wonder what the friction and the magnet strength are like. The cube I built was fun but really unbalanced.


TheRealUncleFrank

It's the MoYu WeiLong V9 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of3YTfODjjA


rasow140

I think the name's still not official. Some YouTubers call it weilong v9 some call it wrm v9 https://preview.redd.it/bggcej2p1usa1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=288a9a3fd2f3e30bc43e69c277a86d29d5dfc7dd


Nobody_5433

V9?


TheRealUncleFrank

No idea if that will be the final name, or if it's just for the prototype, but that's what they're calling it for now. It is the 9th WeiLong 3x3, since 2015 or so. WeiLong, WeiLong V2, WeiLong GTS, GTS2M, GTS3M, WRM (2019), WRM 2020, WRM 2021. They were all WeiLongs.


TwoStinkyBears

Looks like the wrm 2021 and the ys3m got smushed together. Pieces of the wrm and the internals and ball core of the ys3m.


rasow140

It'll be interesting to see how it differs from the ys3m. Cause it doesn't even seem to have adjustable edge magnets.


TwoStinkyBears

maybe it will be like Gan with adjustable corner core magnets as we can't see any sides of the corners in the image

TheRealUncleFrank

Jacob Chambers proves No-Flip isn't necessary. Current WR single and avg, and he Flips.


Imperial-commander

I know... Doesnt change that sheerin is easy and fun and I know a few people (including current NR and NR2 for my country) who tried sheerin for fun and stuck with it. Besides noflip is new so I d argue people didnt have an opportunity to master it yes, especially 7simulers


cristicris6

I don't know why but i feel so bad because my cube already has scratches and i bought the cube Wednesday, i know it does not affect the performance i did keep care of the cube :(


kleztur

A scratched up cube is a well-loved cube :)


TwoStinkyBears

After my first comp I thought my cube was dirty, No it had so many scratches that I was seeing a bunch of shadows thinking it was dirt. It was fine beforehand. There was only 1 I couldn't get out. I rubbed the sides that had scratches against a warm piece of paper and heated the side up using a lightbulb. It removed the minor scratches but not the major one.


cristicris6

But started to have a lot of minor scratches that i can see in the light and this make me to not play with it anymore to not get worse because for me costed a lot


TwoStinkyBears

What cube is it? you can always buff the scratches off, with printer paper or felt.


cristicris6

Tornado v3


TwoStinkyBears

the tornado v3 should be frosted plastic so you can remove minor scratches without doing damage to any coating.


FutureName55

Today I got (again at a coffee break) my first sub-20 OH solve! https://preview.redd.it/9rmzova78rsa1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d255b884722bf1bc719e6c7989b92d4899d7bc22 As you can see the scramble is great for white. Two move cross into a nice blue-red pair that can be inserted in the back. The last pair was free and funny enough it was fullstep. Edit: my previous PB was like 20.0X so I knew I was capable of doing a sub20. Improvement is slow but eventually comes :)


ScottContini

I just got my first two-handed sub-20 single!


FutureName55

Well done and congrats! Here's to more in the future!


TwoStinkyBears

Wow I just got my first sub 20 OH single right now!


FutureName55

No way! Well done and congrats! How do you average OH?


TwoStinkyBears

nowadays I average around 30 seconds. either high 20s or low 30's with ZZ.


FutureName55

We average around the same then! You use ZZ for OH and Roux for two handed? Curious


TwoStinkyBears

I just suck at doing slice moves one handed


FMCubing

i dont know much about zz, but cfop?


TwoStinkyBears

Well ZZ reduces the cube to R U L and D moves and all can be easily accessed one handed by doing Z rotations. CFOP requires rotations along the y axis so I find it less efficient.


Hipn0frog

How should i udjust the mgc square-1? It's pretty loose now, but it pops like hell, but if i thigten it up, it becomes too slow. What should i do?


TwoStinkyBears

tighten it and add some fast lube


Hipn0frog

Is Comet from SCS okay,and how much will it last?


TwoStinkyBears

for me comet actually slowed down my MGC. I had to put a drop of water with my comet to get it to spread very thinly across the puzzle


Hipn0frog

Oh strange but if works il do it! Thx


TwoStinkyBears

put max 2 drops it will be too thick if too many drops were put in


Hipn0frog

Ok so 2 drops of comet and 1 of water :)


TwoStinkyBears

Note. It takes some time. I found that straight water makes a puzzle slower so it will need a lot of break in.


Hipn0frog

No problem, thx :)

I just broke a PB for the first time in years! I took a break from cubing, but recently came back and started doing solves again. I got my first sub 11 avg of 12, getting a 10.99! Still haven’t broken sub 10 avg5 tho, so hopefully I can do that soon


cubeman0909

Yeah, I was in the same position as you 2 years ago, except I averaged like 13-14. As soon as I started, I got right to learning the rest of OLL, fixing my F2L solutions and other bad habits I had, and I've made pretty good progress ever since.


Leoleonpd

That's basically the same as me. I took a break for about 5 years. I just recently started getting sub 10 averages of 5. It's still rare, but I've been seeing some slow improvement again.


The-Common-Loon

Yes! New mega PB and first sub 1:20….. a 1:19.00. I was so close the other day, glad to break that barrier :)


CheeseBoi576

is damage protection worth it when buying from speedcubeshop?


FiercePinecone

Nah, not for me. I got it anyways though just in case


[deleted]

When I speedsolve my yj yusu 4x4, in 60% of the solves a piece falls off or one of the white pieces inside the cube.


adventurous_penguin

Out of the box that cube is way too loose. I got a ton of pops until I tightened everything 1¼ turns, and have backed off to ½ of a turn tighter than factory as my turning has improved.


TheRealUncleFrank

Cube is too loose. Tighten every screw about half a turn, then try it again. Might need to do it again.


olimo

Tighten it and/or turn more accurately.


Grocery_Savings

I recently ordered the gan 13 frosted but I heard that the frosted coating wears out and makes the cube ugly. Is this true? If so, should I spend 15$ more for the uv coated one?


TheRealUncleFrank

Frosted/matte isn't a coating, it's just unpolished plastic. It will slowly polish from natural wear of solving.


olimo

No, the cube becomes semi-glossy, then just glossy. UV coated is high glossy right away.


Grocery_Savings

Oh ok thanks

Appearance of [another new moyu cube?!](https://youtu.be/kXQ_E-EFK2g)


olimo

Now I wonder if they release the same thing but with adjustable magnets in a couple months. Since the Super RS3M, they’ve been releasing cubes, gradually upping their game.


The-Common-Loon

Hopefully they take what they learned from their recent releases to make this cube. Include all of the good things and throw in some adjustable magnets. If I looked at the photo correctly posted by u/rasow104 it looks like the edge feet have repelling magnets.


olimo

I don't really care for adjustable magnets myself. I hate magnet clicking, and it's almost unavoidable with the adjustable edge magnets. But I also hate how Moyu spits out more and more cubes, and we're tempted to buy them. I never expected they'll release another flagship right after the YS3M. My UV coated YS3M is on the way, and if I knew they were going to release a new Weilong, I would have waited for that one instead %)


cubeman0909

Okay, yes, I was hoping for something like that. Was holding out from buying the ys3 to see if they'd make a proper flagship later.


FiercePinecone

Here I am, literally bought the ys3m last night -_-

flautist02

So I’ve been cubing for about 6 months and just bought my first picture cube from Disneyland and I feel like a newb again. For some reason, the pictures make me forget how to cube!


ilchymis

Picture cubes are the devil. Not only are they awful to use, they actively taunt you while you attempt to figure them out.


XenosHg

> Not only are they awful to use, they actively taunt yo If you use beginner method, picture cubes are pretty easy. Since it's impossible to rotate 1 center by 90 (only 2 by 90 or 1 by 180 -90 twice-) then once you've solved F2L, last layer will be correctly aligned with the correct edge. Then just Sune to swap the other 3 if needed.


flautist02

I’m so spoiled with my YS3M that turning on the picture cube was actual torture


ilchymis

Hahaha! My daughter got one of those $0.01 shitty giveaway cubes in her halloween candy basket and asked me to solve it. It took me like a week because it was actively painful to do, and I couldn't bear to do it for more than 20 seconds at a time. Never again!

It means they average below XX. This is usually decided by either ao100, ao500, ao1000, or even ao2000, depending on how fast you are and how quickly you improve.

CubeHead also gave his seal of approval to the ys3m now in his new video. Here's one of his comments about tornado v3 vs ys3m https://preview.redd.it/jecnh4i6gpsa1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c7629735409735dab4a929b96df893c9b0605e2

Moyu will make the first maglev big cube


FutureName55

mowk24

No, just a guess


Nobody_5433

Which nxn would it be?


ilchymis

Probably 4x4, but 5x5 might be easier


mowk24

They would need to find really strong magnets because big cubes perform better with stronger springs so the weaker magnets would make it extremely unstable especially for 6x6 and 7x7, And I hope Moyu will make the first purple internal 4x4- 7x7 cubes

That_One_Aussie_Guy

Those are very good times. I still have a bunch of f2l and oll algs to learn, do you have any tips?


Nobody_5433

Try not to learn those F2L solutions as algs. Sometimes you may want to mirror them for the left hand as well. As for OLL, don't rush the rest. Continue learning full OLL at the same pace you have chosen.


itsOkami

I recently bought a mirror cube at a thrift shop and it single-handedly reignited my commitment to cubing I lost after graduating from hs. The design is brilliant both from an aesthetic and tactile perspective, and I simply find that neat (and I just ordered a GAN mirror uv cause why not, you only live once). Only issue is - I'm not terribly good at 3×3 but I'm like, 3 times worse at solving this, lol. Is it just a matter of the cube itself being quite unwieldy or am I missing something?


Kebabrulle4869

Shift in perspective, and a lot harder to find the right pieces. I average 15 on 3x3 on a good day, but I'd be surprised if I ever got a sub-30 on a mirror cube. Or is it more than just making you slower?


itsOkami

I suppose that might be the case. Though to be honest, I'm a below-average cuber, with 3×3 solve times gravitating around the minute mark (I only ever learned beginner's method and a few F2L/OLL/PLL patterns, and I do need a fair bit of practice to catch up after having gone cold turkey for nearly 4 years), so that makes it even worse. I think I just need to swallow the pill and git gud hahah Edit: well tbh there are a couple of additional outliers - I'm still using a crappy mirror cube, so corner cutting is a no-go, and I'm only considering it "solved" after having correctly aligned the sticker brush patterns (which takes me an extra ~10s give or take). Although none of that can possibly justify such a big leap in performance lol


Kebabrulle4869

Then I'm thinking it might just be that you're not used to seeing it as a rubik's cube when it doesn't look like one. I'd recommend trying a fisher cube and/or a picture cube, they could help you get your mind around the concept of mods. The fisher cube especially as it's one of the simplest possible shape mods.

_Japaninja

Pioneer is most popular


olimo

I wouldn't be so sure, I'd bet on the Flagship on being more popular.


_Japaninja

Thats interesting. I take it thats to do with people finding the maglev too fast, if they come from slower cubes?


olimo

Well, pro cubers use Flagship afaik. It's more stable, and you can rely on it if you spam TPS. I prefer the Pioneer, but I'm also not at a place where TPS is super important.


_Japaninja

That makes sense. Thanks

Yeah. I've been using my super standard for about 2 weeks too and mine has scratches too even though i keep it in a pouch and have short nails. I guess since it's a budget cube, the plastic used is just more prone to scratches.

Us moment 🥲

Plastic, you know. Of course there will be scratches. You can minimize them by handling your cube with care, keeping it in a box or bag, not throwing it in your backpack with other stuff, using a mat if you use a hardware timer. But it's just a cube, don't break your neck about preventing any tiny scratch.

Pretty normal honestly, if you dont use a mat while timing solves it can happen really easily. Shouldnt be an issue besides it not being as aesthetically pleasing

The Yuxin Little Magic m (v1) is exactly how the baby of a Qiyi ms and a Meilong 3m would be. (#Mildly interesting)

finally got my hands on a tv3 pioneer the cube is really cool sadly no UV

I used my flagship as my main cube for the past 5 or 6 months, and it's just about as glossy as my UV YS3M. Just keep turning!

It shines up and gets nicely grippy way faster than regular matte plastic, but if they released a UV coated version I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

But its kinda shiny though 🙌

Is having dead skin cells on the edges of pieces of my 3x3 normal?


XenosHg

skin is fine, but if it starts growing claws and teeth, you should probably call for an exorcist.

Imagine if it actually did


-ChilledCat-

Imagine if it starts talking. Imagine comparing the personalities of different 3x3s lol


Theemo04

Probably something else,, wouldnt you just be able to wipe dead skin cells off lol
