Is THIS Event Getting REVIVED?

[@cognitaferamacademics]

First (pin plz)

[@darioramirez8892]

As a pro clock solver I can confirm that clock is revived

[@thekillercat3383]

Woah, clicked on this video watched it and it was super good. Was very shocked when I checked you channel and you only have 500 subscribers. This is quality stuff you earned my sub

[@TWCubed]

thank you so much man, means a lot

[@thekaeden]

clock is becoming very competitive in Singapore

[@danielwusy]

yeah i am trying to learn 7 simul from the local experts

[@NoahCubez]

Let's goo new vid! I hope I see you at some more comps soon. I'm still against the pushing pin reg change.

[@TWCubed]

Yeah it's a pretty divided subject. Hope to see you at some more comps too!

[@aarondoescubing]

Some things as well is the new methods for this event. Some of these methods can be easy to learn, yet fun and can allow one to get many great times. For me, learning 7s flip is very easy, and it allows me to get great times, and it is very fun. That made clock a fun event for me.

[@Dagg361]

Clock revived, but not only for this reg, but for the new methods mastered and new people trying those.

[@ananimatingcuber]

I was (& still am) against the pin push change, I personally think it would’ve been better if only accidental pin pushes were allowed, I guess since we’ve seen so many good results with these regulations it wouldn’t be productive to reset the regulations and remove everyone’s good results but I’m still a little salty

[@ananimatingcuber]

Also I think clock had already been revived by this point, and the overhead cameras for comp streams had solved the spectator friendliness

[@TWCubed]

the reason why they didn't say "only accidental pin pushes are allowed" is because there's a very fine line in between accidental and on purpose, and it's tough to see from a normal camera POV. on top of that, inattentive judges would have to say whether it was on purpose or by accident as for your point about how overhead cameras solved the spectator friendliness, it's still insanely hard to see the progress of the solve with a method like 7-simul which doesn't flip. The only time I see someone's progress in a clock solve is when they flip, and the overhead cameras doesn't really help too much

[@TetraCubing]

@@TWCubed tbh i partially disagree on the overhead camera thing, it makes it much easier to see the clock solve opposed to a spectator POV angle when you cant even see the state of the clock most of the time

[@TWCubed]

@@TetraCubing afaik, there are only two streaming channels (one in great lakes, one in NorCal) that don't only stream major events, so people outside these areas don't have access to overhead cameras

[@solver5k]

[@Chrnan6710]

As someone who has solved a clock at LEAST once I can say UNDOUBTEDLY with my ABSOLUTELY VALUABLE AND INFORMED OPINION that clock might be back

[@DRclocker]

FMC and mbld are also not spectator friendly. This shouldn’t be an argument to remove clock.

[@TWCubed]

yes, but FMC and MBLD are related to many other events (3x3, OH, BLD) on top of that, they are usually held separately from other parts of the competition, unlike clock

[@DRclocker]

Yeah I guess you're right. I just don't want clock to be removed because it's my main event lol@@TWCubed

[@tetrawaffle337]

spectator friendliness is still a bad argument. Woth overhead cameras, clock is more spectator friendly than events like 2x2 or pyra because it’s easier to se what’s happening because clock doesn’t have algs

[@ihateclock]

new regs W tbh

[@Geoide_Official]

Clock is underrated.

[@cariyaputta]

Clocks are so expensive, it is not a twisty puzzle, so there must be some behind the scene deals between WCA and clock manufactures. Not to mention their bullshit regulation regarding printed logos on BLD events.

[@tetrawaffle337]

lol imagine thinking this

[@SamSpeedCubes]

Tbh, as a sub 8 clock solver I think this event should be switched out for an event like FTO

[@zeroing000]

Tbh, as a sub 5 clock solver I think this event should stay the same as the amount of FTO solvers are far less than clock solvers, and fto hardware is far behind. If I was making the decision years ago to add clock I would say no, but with the amount of innovation in clock hardware and solving, we shouldn’t remove it now.

[@SamSpeedCubes]

@@zeroing000 FTO is a much better event for the wca than clock, diansheng is releasing a new magnetic FTO and clock has not been innovated since the qiyi clock, and the new one isn’t an innovation, it’s the same clock with different magnet strengths, the innovation in solving is 7 simul, which when compared to every other wca event isn’t really that innovative, even when you compared to FTO it isn’t super innovative, ofc the wca shouldn’t remove clock, but if they were to have to make a decision between they should choose FTO as it is simply a better event for the wca, also the more people doing it argument doesn’t make sense because of course more people are doing clock, it’s a wca event, if FTO were to become a wca event more people would do it and more companies would make hardware for it

[@TGSpeedcubing]

I became clock main a couplr of months ago. Clock is back and beyter than ever!

[@anderscubes]

yes but if it messes up the pins it doesn't matter anymore due to the new regs but great vid! I agree

[@anderscubes]

my bad just finished watching youre right lol

[@TWCubed]

haha yeah Tsukasa said the same thing - I should have been more clear that the start of the video was about 2023 and before, not now

[@anderscubes]

haha all good. Did you get my email about the aliso viejo comp?@@TWCubed

[@Silentema]

Clock died with the regulation

[@OrbitalCubingLiterally]

What is the bgm of this video

[@TWCubed]

[@CubeATime-AKAEddieArtze]

Nice video

[@TWCubed]

Thanks Eddie - congrats on your recent results!

[@mute_ed984]

Out with the clock and in for Kilominx or Master Kilominx instead? It would be the equivalent to the 2x2 and the 4x4 Cube on the Megaminx side.

[@gluggy]

nah fto better

[@kyh148]

I don't think it's fair at all to remove clock in favour of a variant of an existing event. Clock is a very unique event and while technically not being a twisty puzzle, it captures the spirit of it unlike (master) magic. I don't see any good reasons to remove it, unlike feet with it's difficulty to organise and the questionable hygiene.

[@AdventureCJ]

to remove clock is to remove squan and many people would me mad either way *be mad either way

[@ryansolves]

i'm clock

[@ryansolves]

(also i think that the rise of good results in the past month has been about people getting good at 7simul and controlling nerves in comp, i think the new reg only saves like 0.1 sec. but idk im bad at clock)

[@TWCubed]

@@ryansolves 7-simul is getting to a point where people who learned the method 6-8 months ago are now becoming comfortable, i agree. but i do think that this new reg does help quite a bit, especially considering it can take up to 0.3-0.4s to get the pins to an ideal place to start. with 3.3ish avgs, 0.3-0.4s is a substantial amount

[@ryansolves]

@@TWCubed 0.3-0.4 sec is way too long, i think it's probably about 0.05 to 0.15 at a high level. so yeah i think it definitely helped us get the new records but i dont think it's the main thing - i think people just got better by a lot actually maybe the new reg -> more rounds are being held because less extras and stuff -> better results? i can say all of the confounding variable things yay

[@center_cap]

Nah it’s cuz of keagan khew
