No way, CubeHead posted before Cubicle?! 😮😮😮

I fully agree with some guy at The Cubicle that it's not necessary to have 3 versions. But the thing I definitely want more of, is that kind of intro.
Definitely some guy at the cubicle
Defenitely the intro
@@recordedanemone6399 Yeah not even the WR holder or something...
I do not agree. All of us have preferences and obviously some has limited budget. Not rich people would likely to buy the cheapest ones of the version and still be contented. Speedcubing community is not all about competition or being the fastest among the group because you got the most expensive cube, it's be in a cubing community where you can cube how you want, what you use because all you just need is to be happy cubing with others.
@@gabrielb.dioquino4263 yeah, but if you want a cheap cube the rs3 super standard is by far the best version.
Been waiting for the cubicle's video on this cube. I gotta say, i really appreciate that ,despite the casual feel of the videos, it never feels like pointless rambling; there's always concise and useful points being driven home and the format is entertaining and gripping. That's not a skill that's available to anyone with access to cubes and high production value alone. It clearly comes from the cubicle's thoughtfulness and thoroughness. No doubt a huge contributing factor to the stores ongoing success. Excellent video!
Thanks friend
Another possible reason for the multiple versions, is something similar to restaurant economics. There is a small, medium, and large and while some people do buy the smaller sizes, one of the main reasons for the two smaller sizes is so that when you are buying you look and say "Oh the large is only $X more, might as well get that so I am full (satisfied)". I think it may be a similar thing here, where if someone is buying the cube they say "Oh the full cube with all these other features that I might want, is only $17 dollars more" instead of having only one cube and them thinking "Oh my word this cube costs over $40 that is insane"
Another fair, balanced review from Phil + the team at TheCubicle. So glad this retailer is run by people with ethical + honest dialogue that holds manufacturers accountable. Always a pleasure to watch, you guys are the gold standard.
My cubicle order aka my new V9 shipped as I was watching this. Another perfect review. Mahalos
In the recent years, I thought the RS3M was more of a prototyping line to preapre us for the flagship line.
But having variants of the same puzzle throws a monkey wrench in that.
The system works like Budget, Midrange, and Flagship Variants.
I just got this cube the ball core uv and i am waiting for it to come. So exited and got it on april 20th on pre order!
Really exciting! I’m gonna have to grab one.
those were some satisfying solves to watch 👍
Cubicle's cube reviews are the best. I love the maths and the technicalities like showing us the tracks and comparing them with other cubes. Keep up the good work, Phil!
I was waiting for this, since i heard of the V9
Been waiting for this 1
Finnaly u reviewed it but its perfect timing cuz I will buy one tommorow
Thanks for your work.
Hey, Phil. i recently got the new Tornado and RS3 Super( ball core - because, ya gotta). I have been enjoying them, but after your review of the YS3, I am anxious to try that. Before these, Weilong 2021 was my main. So what I’d like to know is how the V9 compares to the Tornado V3, RS Super, and YS3 (top versions of each, of corse).
appreciate the honest breakdown.
Great vid!
I am glad the other versions exist and it has a split piece design, I am now maining a cross-over between the ball core UV and the standard version where it does not have the uv coating or the edge magnets but does have the corner-core magnets
Is it worth getting the Maglev one without ball-core as my first speedcube?
@@antoinenijhuis450 it is a decent cube, it is quite fast, I think I would rather use a GuHong Pro ball core though (and that is cheaper anyway)
Cant wait for the Weilong X in May!
There will be 4 versions, all with corner magnet adjustment. 😂
@@RB-pp5tv Each of the four versions will have a version with maglev and a version with springs, making for a total of eight different versions.
Only the maglev ball core version will have magic clothes, of course.
Just got this cube today .It is every bit the equal of the Gan 13 maglev .It's super fast good corner cutting,and the magnets are really strong.I love it it's my new main and over my Gan 12 Gan 13 and YSM 3.I just ordered 2 more in case the next version is different.I This cube is game changer 10 of 10 easy
Which version?
@@nps1024 lol, probably the super version, lol
Thank You
I love the intro!
How does that cube(bc) perform against the tornado v3 (flagship or pioneer)
hey guy could you tell me if i can just buy the mag lev and add the coner to core magnets from the wrm 2021 magnetic kit , would it work ???
can you produce extra center caps for flagship cubes? my gan center cap broke and i cant use it
how does the standard v9 feel compared with the standard rs3m super 2022 magnetic?
I got my ball core version of this on Tuesday. I mained the WRM 2019, 2020, and 2021 and this cube is incredible. I didn't touch the RS3M or the YS3M because I knew that moyu would eventually release a WRM with a ball core. I compared the peace design to the 2020 and the 2021 and it's very similar though the edges do you have some scaling on them and the corners have a different pattern on them. There's also some minor structural changes but for the most part it's the same cube but with corner to core magnets and edge repelling magnets.
I will say though that the out-of-box experience on this cube was very rough. The reason for this is because the cube is quite loose when you first get it. I think maybe the edge magnets make it so that the cube feels a bit looser and therefore faster as well. When you tighten the centers a half turn on the screw and a few clicks on the adjustment system and then add some lube it just feels like a completely different cube. For the past 5-6 months I've been maining the tornado V3 but this has dethroned it easily. I do still like the tornado V3 for the fact that it's quieter, and I'll likely use it for blindfolded still.
The corner twist thing gets solved when you tighten the screws a little bit. If you remember the 2020, it also had a similar issue at the time. And when I busted mine out I was able to easily twist the corners before I had tighten it. I do wish they wouldn't make three versions but I also understand why they're doing it. If you're buying a WRM you're likely going to buy the ball core version because you want the best version of the cube; otherwise for beginners, it makes more sense to get the RS3M or the YS3M. I think the theory is that professional cubers want to have options for different feeling cubes but that only makes sense If they create five versions. One with springs, one with maglev, one with springs and ballcore, one with maglev and ballcore, and one with all the features. They could also just give us springs with the ball core version and that would solve a lot of the issues with people who do not like maglev (since you could switch between the two). I personally like maglev but I know some people really do like springs more.
I do wonder if eventually people will start to sell spring kits instead of maglev kits.
I am between buying the tornado v3 or this cube, which one you think is faster but at the same time more stable? I mean, I want the cube to maintain its cube form
@@SleepyRainRealm the wrm is faster. Both are stable. They both are extremely solid cubes, if you want a flag ship cube, you can't go wrong with either.
Deciding between the ball-core and Maglev version, which one should I get...
@@antoinenijhuis450 ballcore but at this point might as well wait a month for the v10 to release. The ball core, maglev version is 39 bucks and it's got a bunch of new features including a new dual adjustable system.
@@antoinenijhuis450 you should just get the V10. It has bro
Hey can you please tell me what pyrymix I should get
Whats better, this with maglev or the tornado v3 flagship?
WeiLong v10 is out 😊
does the maglev version have corner to core magnets?
Is that the QY m pro's box behind the background?
Can you compare the v9 and the tornado v3?
Wait, can't you mod the edges by chimera'ing it with a wrm 2021? I mean so that you have adjustable magnets
So can I take the springs out of my RS3M 2020 and pop them in my Magic Clothes V9?
So, what specific springs did moyu reccomend?
What cube do you think is the best not just this year? I don't mind about price, I like adjustable magnet strength, black internals, Gans duel adjustment system, and fast cubes. Which one should I get.
I have been thinking about the GAN 356 XS but I don't know. I need someone else's opinion. Thanks.
If you can live without Gans dual adjustment system, I would personally recommend the WRM maglev.
It has magnet adjustment and a really simple spring compression system. Also it has purple internals which is like black but better looking. Thx for reading
I love how Phil’s reaction to the standard was just “yeah” 😂
The intro had the best cubing meme I've seen so far
Does the v9 standard feels better than rs3m super ball core?
great vid
Love the beginning part!😂
That intro was legendary
what solve timer app are you using?
This question is unrelated to cubing and I hope you don't mind, but have you ever learnt how to write Chinese characters by hand? How much or how long ago doesn't matter! I teach Chinese and so far, only people who have some experience with characters write squares the way you do (vertical line, then angle right-down, then horizontal line, the way 口 and 囗 are written). I didn't draw boxes that way before I started learning Chines, but I find it very hard to not draw boxes like that now, even in unrelated contexts such as when drawing a checkbox! Also, thanks for the video! :) I have a Moyu Weilong WR M 2021 MagLev now and use it quite a lot.
Yes, I sometimes write Chinese by hand, which is why I draw boxes like a Chinese person
@@asmallkitten Thank you for responding! Got to work on my Sherlock Holmes powers, one at a time. :)
Hi ... I use gts2 ..because it feels buttery smooth..nd I wanted to upgrad... so which new moyu cube feels like gts 2?..does v9 feels like gts 2?
Tell me a new cube... weliong or not weilong.. but that feels like gts 2 buttery smooth
Moyu's names are getting weilong
What app were you using for the scrambles?
pleeeeease
nice should i get one or should i buy the gen 5 timer
Depends on your preferences for cube feel as to whether u get the weilong ,but personally I wouldn’t buy a timer. I got a gen 4 and while it’s cool 90% of the time i just use my phone or laptop to time.
* a cube is amazing
phil:
hmmm this is quite good
What app is that you are using??
What app was used to time
what is the cube timer that he used?
Hi do you guys ship in Philippines?
Hmmm seeing my 2 other MoYus (GTS3M and Super) are at their loosest possible settings (ok granted, my Super flew apart once during one of my many solve), I think I'll take the gamble with the MC version set to its loosest possible. (of course it will be lubed up with MAX Fleet and Command)
is the Qiyi MS still ur main
I heard from other cubers that if you put some lube in to the weilong v9 magic clothes than it wouldn't corner twist that much
magic clothes is the best cube name ive ever heard haha
@thecubicle oh no does this mean the weilong wr m 2021 is being discontinued?
For a $43 Moyu I expect adjustable magnets.. surprised Moyu eliminated them from this newest flagship. Also, there is a surprising difference between 55 > 55.5 > 56 mm sizes.. so they might as well make 9 additional versions while they're at it 😂
I think us cubers are to blame lol.. we started it with maglev and ball-core mods/upgrades to standard cubes.. Moyu is just trying to make it easier.. which makes it harder lol. It makes sense if you know what you like.. size, weight, magnet strength, springs vs maglev, matte/frosted/glossy/UV, etc.
You just can't make everyone happy..
*Update: So I got the V9.. magnets are waay too strong for not being adjustable 😔 and I'm not sure if it's just my cube but I had to put the purple nuts from the YS3M into this to slow it down! Makes me think Moyu slipped up on the design specs and got it backward. 😂 I'll probly end up swapping the core magnets out.. we'll see. I love the way the word "Moyu" looks on the box and think that should be the logo on the cube instead of Chinese symbols I can't read.
I drew a funny connection the other day.. the similarity to GAN 11 and GAN 13 boxes was very curious to me.. its seems Moyu is saying to GAN, we're just as fancy as you now.. then GAN releases the Swift Block to say that Moyu is well "swift and blocky" and only worth $13 😂
*Update: I swapped my V9 corner-core magnets with the ones from my GAN 11 M Duo.. what a difference! 👍😎👍
@@mauigecko77bro how did you do that?
@@mewtu5817 Hahaha.. I Macgyvered it!
Getting the magnets out of the GAN 11 Duo was easy, just used a cloth to protect the magnets and needle nose pliers to twist/break loose. The magnets in the V9 were tricky since they don't stick out enough to grab a hold of.. I used a fine point awl from a mini screwdriver set, heated it with a lighter and VERY carefully melted a notch down the side of the plastic holding the magnet just far enough to get under the magnet and pop it out.
Since the GAN 11 magnets are a lot taller, I had to use a mini round file to bore out the holes.. not completely but just enough to finesse them in (if you take too much, the magnets will slide down into the corner piece). Check for clearance with the ball-core and set the depth using clear gorilla glue to hold in place..
IS anyone else having trouble with ordering I went to order the YS3M ball core UV since it was on sale and I couldn't enter my credit card info.. now the sale is gone and I was going to put the order for other people to but I dont know whether to still order it or to tell everyone im not actually ordering it
I love the ball core so much, it made be sub 13 instantly, i was sub 15 before😂
what is the timer app called?
That Intro was epic
Missing the maglev feature in the equation for the ball core. If you take the price of the cubicle kit the UV coating would be 6 dollar, justifies the price even more. Pretty reasonable.
Does the BC feel similar to the 2021 maglev with corner to core magnets?
And is it worth to upgrade to this over the TV3
As someone who has the WRM 2021 with core magnets and maglev, I’d say no. Each cube still has a distinct feeling that’s hard to describe. I think it comes down more to the piece design than the internal hardware per se. Both cubes are great though after setup and lubing.
I just got the ys3m and now this.
It still god
Mine just arrived today
Which timer app is Phil using? I want to get it too.
me too
Me 3
Amazing intro
Can MoYu plz make a cubing bag to come with their cubes? I feel like that is what is missing in the accessories box.
Really miss the black version, where you could put your own sticker colours.
does all 3 versions have the blue compression cups?
Beuhhh💀💀
Which one is the best Standard cube of the super the ys3m or the v9
ys3m
I wish that the standard version also had the blueish internals, I love them but no 42 dollars love them
I would love a comparison between the WRM v9 BC and a mod made assembling pieces from a WRM 2021 and internals (core and tracks) from a YS3M BC internals
The YS3M uses the same tracks as the WRM 2021.
@@P4INKillersfunctionally tracks do not need to be switched but tracks of cyan fit the ball core colour
I started speedcubing with the GuHong V2 and the Zhanchi... I feel old
What is this timer app called? 8:25
what cube i should buy the ms3x or weilong v9 magic clothes
V9
Looks like I'm going to have to get so magic clothes.
How to set up WRM V9 Maglev?
Your math is good cuz you know how to solve a rubiks cube😂
And mine too😅
I am 100000% Sure i will get the Magic clothes Version
Is this gonna be better than X Man Tornado?🤔
Hey cubicle can you guys start doing shorts where you guys pack and customize peoples cubes and orders? Pls😅
Hey, new to the cubing community, also creating Speedcubing content ❤️ love your Videos
I'm not a fan of multiple versions of the same cube. I would prefer that they pick the one they feel is the best and sell us that. I haven't checked what the YS3M yet but 4 versions of a cube is way too much in my opinion. That being said, the WRM v9 magic clothes looks pretty cool.
It's been weilong since the last version. Great to see moyu comeback again.
Not bad.
LOL
WOW hermoso
Is that Phil (some random guy at TheCubicle) using CFOP?
If the Ball Core was $10 cheaper I would probably get it.
10/10 intro
11:44 , I've already destroyed my bank account buying off your website!
the only reason why i still get this on the standard version is the size. this is a 54mm cube compared to the standard 56mm
10:52 based Phil
As an asian, I enjoyed the math more than the cube itself.
Its beutiful
Sometimes it sounds like Phil is saying Bong Core instead of Ball Core and it's unintentionally funny
This cube, these cubes, which ones are you talking about?!
