OMG you replied you are so awesome:DDDD you made my day i was wondering about the QiYi. Also, i think to fix it, put weight 6 on the U layer. TYSM ily :DDD
I love square-1 to death, but I am always breaking mine. Ive broken two before, despite the fact that I lube it, have loose tensions, and turn ridiculously accurately. I use the Xman Volt, and the core strips so easily, and the pieces are flimsy. WE NEED A GOOD SQUARE-1
1:33 I was just normally solving and then this happened mid turn and it made the whole cube explode and then core striped during the explosion and the the edge the rose a little was split in half. For me this ruined the square-1
How to fix screw issues? Becuase my qiyi square1 while doing slices moves the screws are moving inside like it tensioning itself like it's loosing itself and I experienced while solving it the screws came out and it all pops! Pls make a video how to fix it
+Thomas Brcic I think I learnt with the tutorial from DG. It's a pretty short one but covers most things. The hardest thing to learn though for me was cube shape so I used seperate tutorials for that. But yeah. Start with DG I would say.
I REALLY need this question answered so, My Qiyi square one will completely disassemble itself and fall apart during solves. I think I know why, the only screw. But I don’t know how to fix it. Also me and my friend both have the problem with both layers being sluggish and different speeds.
Hi, i know this video is old, but i just have a quick question: My birthday is coming up soon and i am wishing for a square-1, i just wondered, how hard was it to learn? I have heard some people saying it is the hardest WCA event. Thanks, and nice video! :)
Twisty if you cannot learn extremely long algorithms, then don't get it. I learnt everything but parity because it was so long and it comes in most of your solves.
Square 1 is not the hardest event, the standard parity algorithm is not really long people may say that it's hard because of the unique traits this puzzle has if you are wishing for a Square 1, you might want to consider the Volt
+FoxCuber 888 no no. I do recommend this. I'm sorry. This video was kinda confusing. But if you watched the whole thing I said that I completely recommend this but I was just highlighting some of the flaws. It's not perfect but it's very good.
+Kaushik Murugesan hmm. Living and tensioning does help. But a couple other people said theirs was like that too. But yeah. It's not that noticeable anymore :/ thank you though :)
just need to break in the square-1 in more to avoid reason 2/3 but that ruins reason 1 (more chances stripping). use maru on one of the slower layers. like 8 drops maru.
I have those same issues other than the stripping. but, I do have a cubetwist sq1, and I can say that the qiyi sq1 is basically infinitely better. outer corner cut a little bit on that thing, and pieces would go flying.
Haha. Sounds good. And yeah, this is my only square one so I've never felt a cube twist but I have heard it to be a lot lot better. Thanks Cubiccubes :)
My squan is a lot worse than yours :p, my U layer is sooo slugish while my D layer turns super fast, but catches so much, and every once in a while, my slices start to lock up, and it becomes so bumpy, and they hardly even turn, and i think's its because my core is slightly stripped. Can't wait for the moyu sq-1
umm disliking is meant for that purpose... if you dont like the video (the opinions presented, editing, etc.) then you dislike it. this isnt a hate comment this is just a comment regarding the nature of the dislike button
That's weird. My first QiYi Square-1 came with a sluggish x layer and a faster y layer. Also, disassembling the cube and applying lube in the inner tracks speeds the layers up.
Just got some good news from my parents i might be able to go to aus nats as we r now driving back from the arport on day 2 so i might see you there then spotty
I don't really get why this has so many dislikes. Your video content is great as usual, some people just might not agree with what you said. It's opinions! Ye can't hurt someone for their opinions... I do definitely agree with what you said, especially about the pieces popping. That's *really* annoying for me and I hate when that happens. Do you know of a good tutorial for the low mod? (and someone else please don't reply and just tell me to get the cubicle sq1, cubicle is too expensive) Thanks!
+EpiCuber7 thanks EpiCuber7!! That seriously makes me feel a ton better about this video haha. And have you seen Brandon Lin's tutorial on the low mod?
Sorry, I mean its a really good puzzle but here is 3 reasons why you may not want to get it. i never said you shouldnt get it, I just meant that these are reasons of why you shouldn't. Does that make any sense at all haha?? Sorry for the confusion.
I thought this video was absoloutley awesome, just puttiing that out there, but 1. The core stripping problem was fixed I believe sometime in may. 2. The top and bottom layers are not different at slightly looser than stock tensions. And number three: I don't really know. I just don't. Low mod, I guess...
+opf7 haha. The low mod and some lubing should fix it apparently. Maybe try that if you can?? I would've mentioned it in the video but I didn't know until heaps of people commented it.
I don't understand the point of the video to be honest Spotty. It's just meant to be negative. Yeah you say its the best at the end, but the purpose of the video is to point out its flaws? Seems weird to me
Yea. Sorry about the confusion. But basically yes, I did want to point out the flaws. But I didn't want you guys to think I didn't like this square 1. I still think it's a very awesome puzzle but I was FOCUSING on pointing out the flaws.
The reason the U and D layers are "sluggish" while the slice is fast is because the U and layers need to be precise due to the precision required for algs. Also, the title is very misleading. You only talk about why it is not perfect, not why you shouldn't get it.
Mine qiyi square is also have stripped core But i fixed it. If you want me to make a video to fix it just reply this comment(i am a new youcuber so please let me know if you can give me some ideas and help me improve my channel. I have some easy plls if you need help i can help you and let me know if you need any help
Lube the D layer with Silk if you want it fast or the U layer with Lubicle Gummy if you want it slower
Lol why is the Low Mod infamous?
exactly
Haha. Because I thought lots of people knew about it. :) that's all.
that doesn't mean it's infamous
+Hashtag Cuber Sorry for my use of that word then. I thought it was fine but maybe it's not..
+Hashtag Cuber youre infamous for your 10.12 average at nats
I have the same issue!! My white layer can do U2 turns with one flick, but my yellow layer takes much more effort to turn
If one of your layers can do u2 turns with one flick, then your puzzle is stripped.
So..... I don't have a square one yet, should I get this one?
This one or the Volt.
OMG you replied you are so awesome:DDDD you made my day i was wondering about the QiYi. Also, i think to fix it, put weight 6 on the U layer. TYSM ily :DDD
I love square-1 to death, but I am always breaking mine. Ive broken two before, despite the fact that I lube it, have loose tensions, and turn ridiculously accurately.
I use the Xman Volt, and the core strips so easily, and the pieces are flimsy.
WE NEED A GOOD SQUARE-1
YLM / Volt V2 m
I have the same issue. My u layer is less controllable
How did you learn how to solve the square 1? A tutorial? I f so then which one?
I recommend DGCubes one
Manuel Gutman I will check it out then, thanks :)
Same :)
my square one has no stripped core yet it got really loose i tightened it now its fine, it kept on popping
1:33 I was just normally solving and then this happened mid turn and it made the whole cube explode and then core striped during the explosion and the the edge the rose a little was split in half. For me this ruined the square-1
How to fix screw issues? Becuase my qiyi square1 while doing slices moves the screws are moving inside like it tensioning itself like it's loosing itself and I experienced while solving it the screws came out and it all pops! Pls make a video how to fix it
Should you still get it tho?
1:37 That COD hit mark sound just listen :P
What square 1 method do you use
what timer app do you use??
Also is the white and yellow side inverted????
Where did you learn how to solve the square-1? I want to learn how to solve one but dont know where to start :(
+Thomas Brcic I think I learnt with the tutorial from DG. It's a pretty short one but covers most things. The hardest thing to learn though for me was cube shape so I used seperate tutorials for that. But yeah. Start with DG I would say.
Spotty. Thanks a lot! As soon as my square one arrives I will start learning! Btw you vids are great, keep it up
I REALLY need this question answered so, My Qiyi square one will completely disassemble itself and fall apart during solves. I think I know why, the only screw. But I don’t know how to fix it. Also me and my friend both have the problem with both layers being sluggish and different speeds.
What's a stripped core?
Hi, i know this video is old, but i just have a quick question: My birthday is coming up soon and i am wishing for a square-1, i just wondered, how hard was it to learn? I have heard some people saying it is the hardest WCA event. Thanks, and nice video! :)
Twisty if you cannot learn extremely long algorithms, then don't get it. I learnt everything but parity because it was so long and it comes in most of your solves.
Ok, but the algs, i know they are like / -2 / 3 /-1 etc. and i wonder is one degree on piece?
Square 1 is not the hardest event, the standard parity algorithm is not really long
people may say that it's hard because of the unique traits this puzzle has
if you are wishing for a Square 1, you might want to consider the Volt
Deialekt El'Pe no the volt pieces break like crazy
Aditya Mathpal never heard anyone say that but ok
I have that second problem too, I wish I knew how to fix it.
Some people are saying to lube the pieces to make them equal in speed :) maybe try that
I have the second issue! It's kinda annoying when just turning it, but it's not really noticeable during a solve.
+Daniel Wang hmm yeah. Thank you for leaving your experience 😄
Great video anyways! It's great to have a unique kind of review lol!
Does this mean the x man volt is better?
What does it mean when a core is stripped?
+Flaming Mane when your core is stripped then the screw doesn't really sit in it anymore. Your cube can pop and become unstable. I think...
+Spotty. Thanks
should i buy moyu square 1 ?
+Jack TM most people like the qiyi better.
How much is the qiyi ?
What do you mean by the core strips down?
+DeluxeCuber I mean the screw doesn't really sit in the core anymore and it can just slide out basically.
+Spotty. Can you fix the stripped core though?
Six Sides yeah just see Brandon Lin's tutorial.
I wanted a cube for a long time but I don't know where or how to get one
Ragingbull Games toy r us...or buy good brand on online such as wish or ebay or go direct to famous-ish brands
should I get into square 1?
Yass, its actually pretty good :)
If the two layers are still at different speeds, then you should take the sq1 apart and put it back together. It worked for me so there is an idea!
Is this different than the X-Man Volt? Because if I'm correct X-man is part of QiYi.
Yeah. Two different puzzles. But x-man is part of Qiyi, that’s correct.
I have a qiyi for each colour they have on the market, unfortunately only 1 of them is functional, the others have stripped cores.
+Nat Cubes ahh. That sucks. Have you tried the guanlong one btw??
+Spotty. If your talking about the squan then no, will probably get one at nats, will you be going?
+Spotty. I'm getting it in the next two days!
Yes I will be going!
+Spotty. Awesome! See you there, just come and say hi :)
What do you record with
+Cross Cuber I record with my phone which is a iPhone 5c.
+Spotty. Hmm.. Proves that recording with a phone isn't that bad and did you just set a record of most dislikes
Yes and yes :D
+Spotty. Cool, finally learned how to make thumbnails
My xman volt has the U and D layers problem
Why did you buy one then
Made You Laugh it is not that bad i also have it and i fixed mine
So if im not to get that sq-1 .. Whats u recommended ???
+FoxCuber 888 no no. I do recommend this. I'm sorry. This video was kinda confusing. But if you watched the whole thing I said that I completely recommend this but I was just highlighting some of the flaws. It's not perfect but it's very good.
I think it's just on our cube (the speed difference no.2) .I have not experienced this type of problem in my Qiyi Square-1
+Kaushik Murugesan hmm. Living and tensioning does help. But a couple other people said theirs was like that too. But yeah. It's not that noticeable anymore :/ thank you though :)
I have the same problem with the speed of the layers
just need to break in the square-1 in more to avoid reason 2/3 but that ruins reason 1 (more chances stripping).
use maru on one of the slower layers. like 8 drops maru.
+Cappuccino ahh ok. Thanks!
I have those same issues other than the stripping. but, I do have a cubetwist sq1, and I can say that the qiyi sq1 is basically infinitely better. outer corner cut a little bit on that thing, and pieces would go flying.
Haha. Sounds good. And yeah, this is my only square one so I've never felt a cube twist but I have heard it to be a lot lot better. Thanks Cubiccubes :)
My squan is a lot worse than yours :p, my U layer is sooo slugish while my D layer turns super fast, but catches so much, and every once in a while, my slices start to lock up, and it becomes so bumpy, and they hardly even turn, and i think's its because my core is slightly stripped. Can't wait for the moyu sq-1
Haha. Maybe try and get a new core?? Will Moyu be releasing one soon?? There's the guanlong one but I think that comes under yj
Guys if you dont agree please dont dislike..People have opinions too..Never think that your opinion is superior to them
Thanks Ben :D
Spotty. Nah i got your back...I hate it when people hate other people for having different opinions
The Time Waster. Kinda like religion
umm disliking is meant for that purpose... if you dont like the video (the opinions presented, editing, etc.) then you dislike it. this isnt a hate comment this is just a comment regarding the nature of the dislike button
Spotty I really like your videos, could we meet up at Aussie nats?
+TNL Cubing most definitely!!
I love the "reverse" review.
Great Job!
+Parity Cuber thank you!!!
No problem! I will hope to get some vids out soon, and I love to find new channels! Good luck with your videos!
Sounds good :D! And thanks!
I actually have that same issue. That is why I don't do square-1. So I am hopefully getting the Weilong.
JKube 2 To be honest in my opinion the Qiyi is much better than the weilong. The weilong is smooth but not fast, you can't speed cube with it
Is sq1 hard?
+Rabitmix not particularly. It's a new thing so takes a little to get used to notation but not overly difficult no.
That's weird. My first QiYi Square-1 came with a sluggish x layer and a faster y layer.
Also, disassembling the cube and applying lube in the inner tracks speeds the layers up.
what about the volt
How does hashtag and bubblegum come here
I KNOW!!!
+Spotty. Surprisingly
i have the xman volt its soooo good
I have v2
That U and D also happened to me?
People have said that proper lubing can fix that. I would have mentioned it but I didnt know until now
Just got some good news from my parents i might be able to go to aus nats as we r now driving back from the arport on day 2 so i might see you there then spotty
+KamoCubes oh yay!!! Hope to see you there then :)
Yeah Same I Think Bianca Might Be Vending Aswell Cause She Said She Was Going!
+KamoCubes yeah I think she will be!!! Hopefully anyways :)
Timer/App?
Dot Co. Studios Not completely sure, but I think it's ChaoTimer, it's on App Store and not sure about Google play store hope that helped :D
The Amber BoM thanks, I have chao timer, I just wondered how to make it white themed, as it looks so much cleaner
The Amber BoM I managed to make it white, I didn't work last time I tried. Thanks for helping!
3 reasons !..................
1:57 it's still a great squan not being rude but which is it
I'm got this square 1 for my birthday!
Add Lubicle Silk on the U and D layers. This fixed mine.
I don't really get why this has so many dislikes. Your video content is great as usual, some people just might not agree with what you said. It's opinions! Ye can't hurt someone for their opinions...
I do definitely agree with what you said, especially about the pieces popping. That's *really* annoying for me and I hate when that happens. Do you know of a good tutorial for the low mod? (and someone else please don't reply and just tell me to get the cubicle sq1, cubicle is too expensive)
Thanks!
+EpiCuber7 thanks EpiCuber7!! That seriously makes me feel a ton better about this video haha. And have you seen Brandon Lin's tutorial on the low mod?
No, I'll go watch it during math. :P
Hahaha. Ok :D Have fun
Cool, I like 2x2 the best, I use a YJ YuPo and basic ortega
+ThatOne Cuber ahh ok. Sounds good ;)
If you shouldn't get it, then why did you say it was the best on the market?
Sorry, I mean its a really good puzzle but here is 3 reasons why you may not want to get it. i never said you shouldnt get it, I just meant that these are reasons of why you shouldn't. Does that make any sense at all haha?? Sorry for the confusion.
Ah ok
October 2018?
OMG that's I solve square-1 and I have all those problems with that puzzle. I'm using the volt now.
I thought this video was absoloutley awesome, just puttiing that out there, but
1. The core stripping problem was fixed I believe sometime in may.
2. The top and bottom layers are not different at slightly looser than stock tensions.
And number three: I don't really know. I just don't. Low mod, I guess...
+Squid Cuber haha. Yup. Thanks. And I didn't know about the stripping problem being solved but thanks for telling me :)
No problem.
Nice job on the vid and my qiyi experiences all of these issues :(
Thank you! Very inspired by your video and a couple people have said that proper lubing and tensioning it can fix some of the problems :D
+Spotty. Same, I think the u/d layers at different speeds are because of the core being stripped
I just realized your core is green but mine is red
+Qubito haha. I think the green cores came out a bit later. But I'm not too sure.
Spotty. I'm not completely sure, but I think the red core is with the second batch.
Ooh
Very noice artsy videos again XD
Thanks You Emily!
I have all the so I'm getting the yj square-1
M
+opf7 haha. The low mod and some lubing should fix it apparently. Maybe try that if you can?? I would've mentioned it in the video but I didn't know until heaps of people commented it.
I like 2x2, Skewb, and pyra
+ThatOne Cuber ahh. Ok. Out of those three, the only one I kinda like is skewb :)
i like 2by2 but i only just solve it around the house or something i dont really time myself and im awful at pyra and skweweweb
Love the intro👍👍
I don't understand the point of the video to be honest Spotty. It's just meant to be negative. Yeah you say its the best at the end, but the purpose of the video is to point out its flaws? Seems weird to me
agreed
Yea. Sorry about the confusion. But basically yes, I did want to point out the flaws. But I didn't want you guys to think I didn't like this square 1. I still think it's a very awesome puzzle but I was FOCUSING on pointing out the flaws.
Nice video!!
Thank you :D
Yeah, my U layer is much faster than my D layer.
Some people said to lube them to make them equal. Try that?
I have that issue
+Spotty Thanks
I got the volt
The reason the U and D layers are "sluggish" while the slice is fast is because the U and layers need to be precise due to the precision required for algs. Also, the title is very misleading. You only talk about why it is not perfect, not why you shouldn't get it.
Really
Well we had an Xman now
I have all 4 of the problem
My square-1 is Weilong Sq-1
nice video!
Thanks you!
+Spotty. no problem😀
I luv my qiyi squ1
Mine qiyi square is also have stripped core
But i fixed it. If you want me to make a video to fix it just reply this comment(i am a new youcuber so please let me know if you can give me some ideas and help me improve my channel. I have some easy plls if you need help i can help you and let me know if you need any help
awesome video second an third happened
Haha. Thank you :D
I loved the video
Thanks :)
This video is like 10 reasons why Keemstar is the best youtuber
+axy1015 haha harsh. Why is that so?
I already got the QiYi Square-1 XD
still think the little magic sq1 is better
Your saying don’t get it
NOPE
I have that speed issue with the layers
lol I have the same screwdriver
Another reason why you shouldn't buy it is because it is a square-1
Are you Aussie?
+Cheesy Cuber yup :)
+Spotty. cool
+Spotty. I am Aussie too
Nice to meet a fellow Australian :)
Spotty. :)
get the x man sq1
thats your problem why are you telling this to us
striped
I don't like sq 1 anyway
Hmm.. I don't know if we can still be friends.. jk I'm not the biggest fan either :P
Because it's a gun.
i disagree
sorry
Haha. No need to say sorry. Everybody will have a different opinion. This was just mine.
first i think
+QuinnCubing haha. Good job :)
Dislikes ahoy.
Haha. Yupp.
Urgh! This is by far the worst video on TH-cam for so many reasons! Don't even get me started! Well done Spotty, you've ruined my day!
😩😩😩 I'm sorry. I am forever in your debt now. Please have mercy on me.
I hope you're joking cam.
+EpiCuber7 haha. Me too!!
+EpiCuber7 Of course I am
More like 3 reasons why qiyi squan is not perfect!
Haha. Should I change the title??
Yeah, cos if it stays the saeme it say don squan buy any
+IamSpeedcubing sorry. I think that sentence was a bit disjointed but was that a yes haha??
Spotty. i thiks yeks! lol
