Honestly, the last year's format felt better consumer-wise, especially 2x2. Only one option which is $30+. Best budget and best overall was great to hear Skewb and Pyraminx wise. 3x3 was interesting with the tierlist however Thanks for the effort! Oh, and for anyone looking into new Megaminxes, Gan V2 is rumored to come out and many top solvers like it more then the new Dayan, so I would say to hold off a little before you make a purchase.
what's more crazy is people think cubes from a year or a few years ago are irrelevant now. You could get extremely competitive times on a WRM or RS3M 2020.
@@Unc450 the only cube that I would consider competitive from 2018 is the gts3m and even then imo the v9 is just a better version of it in literally every way
Addendum for 3x3s, but all the 3x3s recommended use printed center caps meaning they are illegal for blind. Make sure you buy a blank cap or know how to remove printed logos if you want to use it for blind!
Just bought the v9 ball core. And it is insanely good, broke my average by two seconds over the course of the first 2 days it went from 16.45 to 14.03 with stackmat!!!
Im actually really interesting on what the top recommendations for this year are gonna be, i think this year was actually more productive than last, and we got a ton of hardware improvement on underdeveloped events
I own both the wrm v9 and the tornado v3 and while the v9 was my main for most the year, I've been using the v3 quite a bit more recently. I think the main reason comes down to a change in turning style, I used to do Cfop but swapped over to zz-ct and I do more slices and wide moves as a result. I own the dayan megaminx v2 and I love it. Been thinking about the getting the dayan mega pro with the ballcore, but a ballcore in a megaminx just doesnt make a ton of sense to me. The normal v2 is extremely light and the layers on a megaminx are much lighter than a 3x3. While the ballcore is probably nice to have, it probably adds weight to the cube which is a con for sure. Pretty solid list overall, many of these cubes are my mains; I am hoping for a good 4x4 release and a 5x5 release in 2024 especially now that 3x3 technology has gotten to a point where the difference between a new release and an old one is extremely minor. Unless they figure out a new innovation like ballcore or piece to piece magnets, the difference just comes down to feel, cost and build quality. Ballcore in a better 4x4 wrm or in the mgc 5x5 would be fantastic.
I'm pretty new to cubing, upgraded from an rs3m 2021 to a wrm v9 this week and HOLY SHIT, it's amazing, I was worried that it would be "too much tech" for a noob that averages 1:05 on 3x3 but it is so smooth and sped up my solves and made me feel a lot more confident in my turning
Loved the clip once again. I’ll refer to it again when it comes to buying new cubes. Here are two things I’d be curious to see: A clip comparing the various cubes Moyu has released over the last year. Also, I’d be curious to see you guys solve on various cubes and see how it affects your times or feel. Maybe use cubes that were released 10 years ago up to more recent ones and see how it affects your solves. Just an idea.
Okay this video is so spot on. At the end when you have those 4 cubes, I absolutely agree those four cubes are right at the top of my list. And if I am picking one of those 4, it’s absolutely the weilong v9 ball core edition. The speed and control from that cube is incredible.
Man i feel like 2024 will be a good year for big cube. The past few years have just been standard MGCs and MoYu WRMs. But this year we already have the GAN 562, X-Man Hong, YJ MGC 4x4 Micro-Actuator, YJ MGC 4x4 UV, Vin Cube 4, and outside of WCA, Diansheng released a ball-core 8x8 and a ball-core 9x9. This makes me think we may see ball-core 4x4, 6x6, and 7x7 soon by diansheng, GAN, or X-man. And for megaminx we got the GAN megaminx V2, shengshou Yufeng (two more ball-core megaminx's), and diansheng is making a magnetic gigaminx and teraminx
there is a new 4x4 named VIN, it designed by the same designer of Mgc 4x4, and it 's already released in Chinese market. Some people think it is better than aosu wrm
Every single recommendation seems reasonable except the Qiyi Ball core UV that completely threw me off and the argument that it faces heavy competition with the Rs3m V5 is weird being that the Qiyi Ball core is about 5-7 dollars cheaper while giving edge repelling magnets which the Rs3m V5 lacks
Since bigger cubes are getting more and more available and usable for speedsolving, I would really like those videos to include the best 8x8 - 10x10 on the market. They're getting pretty good, and it's difficult to find any source to rely on to get infos about them
That's pretty easy, the Diansheng magnetic cubes are the best from 8x8-12x12. I have all of them other than the 8x8. I can't imagine the 8x8 would disappoint since the bigger cubes are so fantastic. Only complaint I have is the magnets feel unnecessarily strong on the 9x9 and 10x10 due to using the same ones as the 11 and 12. The smaller they are, the less leverage to split the magnets and it causes the smaller ones to turn rougher. Loosening them seemed to help.
Here are the best 3x3's in my opinion: Most recommended: Tornado V3 Flagship/ Yoo Cube Deluxe 2 (goated setup) Option 2: GAN 12 (however it's loud) Honorable mentions: Dayan Guhong Pro and the WRM V9 Budget: The RS3M Super 2022 (i haven't tried the RS3M V5)
How would you compare the gan 251 m pro to the Rs2m evolution? Is the gan better by a lot? Is it worth the price difference? And how would you compare the v5 to the weilong v9/ v9 Se??
Locate the piece with a loose magnet, take it apart, put it up against a piece with a magnet to hold the loose magnet in place, and super glue it in place
I'm just getting into clock and while the QiYi is clearly the best, that's not really saying much because there's only two options. The QiYi is great but still has some issues and requires some modifications for top solving. I really hope we see more manufacturers developing clock puzzles in the near future.
How's the Aochuang WRM? I'm considering a new 5x5 but don't really feel like getting an old one since there might be an amazing new release any time now.
About square 1 - For a long ago I bought OJIN YuXin Small Magic SQ1 and it is not magnetic but it is best Square 1 I have (I have 4 of them) and it is 18$ on amazon.
good square 1 solver here (top 50 in the world and made it to usnats finals this year) and hearing phil say the mgc breaks the least out of the competition saddens me 😭 the mgc is extremely prone to broken cores and honestly is not that good (but sadly is still the best on the market because sq1 hardware is just really bad at the highest level) its the only square 1 i can recommend because its the only good one but sadly no other companies are making them rn (except gan but idk what to think about what theyre gonna make)
I want to buy an intelligence cube but I still haven't decided which cube to buy and I want to buy an expensive cube, for example GAN 14 Maglev or MOYU SUPER WEİLONG. I want to buy one of these two intelligence cubes but I don't know which one is better. If there is a cube, can you tell me about it?
The gan 12 UI is definitely the best smart tube, but I wouldn't call it a good value. if you want something decent that's a lot cheaper, the i carry v2 is a pretty good option. As for expensive 3x3s, the super weilong Will be better than the 14 for most people

Only problem is, MoYu will release 10 new cubes between the time this video was posted and the new year
I invented a new Moyu cube. It’s called the super duper Phil Yu Included epic R^2S3M2023[MadeFromChina][ExclusiveTymonKolasinskiFingerPrint]
No you are wrong, 20 cubes
A more accurate guess would be 45

I guess just nothing changed for 2x2 and 4x4, so last year recommendations are still relevant.
Si s balkana
I can't believe the Super Weilong wrist thing didn't win the catagory for "best wrist-mounted cube stand"
I really like some of these cubes
It has been a big year for cubing
Cant wait to see what 2024 bring!
I know for 5x5 and 4x4 changed but idk about 6 & 7 for this year
The best of video never disappoints and I appreciate Steven relearning the Triangle for this.
It was a lot of work but I made it happen
Steven knows a good puzzle when he sees one 👍🏻
The pyra god has spoken
@@ThoseWeirdCubers Oh mY gOd
I'm kinda a pyraminxer too
It's kinda crazy how the tornado v3 and the gan 12 are still so relevant a year later
2 years later for the Gan 12
what's more crazy is people think cubes from a year or a few years ago are irrelevant now. You could get extremely competitive times on a WRM or RS3M 2020.
Not really crazy when that happens with dozens of cubes and even cubes from like 2018 are still relevant now
@@Unc450 the only cube that I would consider competitive from 2018 is the gts3m and even then imo the v9 is just a better version of it in literally every way
@@iliasnik21 aosu gts2m, Valk 2, Valk 5, even the Valk 3 is still used by a couple of world class OH solvers like Dwayne
10:47 why are the clocks pointing up when it should be pointing down?
I have to agree on the 3x3 choice. It gave me consistently better results than even the GAN 12.
I can't wait for best cube 2024

Definitely trying out some of these new cubes.❤
Im actually really interesting on what the top recommendations for this year are gonna be, i think this year was actually more productive than last, and we got a ton of hardware improvement on underdeveloped events
Amazing video! The best 3x3 choice for me is definitely the tornado v3. It’s still my main after almost 2 years.
my favorite is the gan 14 pro
i hav ethe aurora and its suppeerrr good
I think WR M 2021 should be a recommendation... It's really good and it's not that expensive.
Glad to see the Cubicle is still around
I’ve waited all year for this to drop 🔥🔥🔥🔥

There is never too much tech for a cube to any skill level. Only too much cost
You got the standard one or the special edition one?
the sale is finally better than last year
That is one thing I needed
The worst choice of this video is them not including cubehead

Dayan Megaminx Pro M is soooo good with Mag core 😊🎉

Let’s Go This is so good for right before Christmas so it will give me Ideas
I love the weilong v9 thanks cubicle for making another awesome video this year❤
Great video y’all! Always nice to see some solid recs.
when will the stevens moyu weilong pyraminx ll be back
I'm planning on making one more batch next month, but probably no more after that
i wonder when is tornado v4 coming
I love how Steven casually has 6 corner helicopter 2x2s
Yeah he is like, "I can not solve pyraminx." And he has huge cubes
It's just the best puzzle
Thank you soo much. This is really helpful
I’ve been waiting all year for this video!!!!!!
nice video but the clock is not solved
1. you solve a clock:
2. gan 14 is B tier???
3. why mgcs 6 and 7 arent anymore good?
Is Phil saying Bong Core?
Wow, I came from times where stickerless were illegal to use in competitions and now it’s only stickerless. Thank you for the video!

I bought a Yuxin cube for like 1.5$ recently. I don't even know what model it is, but at that price, it was 100% worth it.
How would you compare the gan 251 m pro to the Rs2m evolution? Is the gan better by a lot? Is it worth the price difference? And how would you compare the v5 to the weilong v9/ v9 Se??
The Black Friday is only gor USA?
Been waiting for this all year
6:26 any idea how to fix loose magnets? I have them on the green face (im pretty sure its loose cuz it makes a little high pitch sound)
Locate the piece with a loose magnet, take it apart, put it up against a piece with a magnet to hold the loose magnet in place, and super glue it in place
@@StevenWintringham does the super glue make the magnet strength worser since it covers it a little bit? Is there a tutorial somehwere
So I really liked your arm v9 enhanced version setup. Do you think you could share us the lube setup and the tensions?

Soooo glad it’s out now!!!
Why does steven have 5 corner helicopter 2x2?
6*
I'm magnetizing them

Buy the weilong or the ylm not the gan

@@ferryimportant8390 ok but why should I buy weilong of ylm and also which is better ylm or weilong?

What about the best smartcubes?
10:47 pain.(it’s not solved)

How do I decide between the three different versions of the weilong v9?
Where is Cubehead?
Don't you consider the Moyu 5x5 a top tier cube? I think it is way better than both you picked
I would buy that octopus plush😅
(Pls cubicle I wanna buy it)
The gan 11m pro is still my favourite, I don't know why but it just feels right once tuned up, it's older but who cares, it works
Any thoughts on which to get from the following two as a beginner? Super (the normal magnet one) or V5 dual adjustment?
