V-Cube 3 Review & Controversy

[@Mechanabox]

I don't mean to be a hater, I've been a sub for a while, but I honestly think you were trying a little too hard in this video to prove that V-Cubes didn't knock off DaYan. Did you really have to jump to the conclusion that DaYan was the one that knocked off V-Cubes, if anyone was knocking anyone else off? Even respected companies like V-Cubes are capable of doing bad things such as knocking off other puzzles. It almost sounds like you think V-Cubes is incapable of such thing. I truly do repect your opinion, after all, this is *my* personal opinion, but the way you talk about it just doesn't sound the most reasonable.

[@ivnitroxb]

If you want to get technical, everyone copied rubik's. However, Rubik's brand cubes are a bit stiff (by that I mean absolutely horrible). It just depends on what you like, like I have the Moyu Weilong 3x3 which I love, so its all preference. No one really copies anyone.

[@Mechanabox]

That's exactly what MM&P said in his recent video... are you stealing quotes?

[@ivnitroxb]

No seriously...actually no. Its great to see we think alike! I just thought that it should be said.

[@Mechanabox]

Yes, but from the Rubik's brand to the newer cubes is definitely a large jump in design, the V-Cube and Guhong, however, are very similar. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying V-Cube knocked off DaYan, but it's just a suspicious situation.

[@ivnitroxb]

Yeah, I'm a relatively new cuber, about two months. I have got a total of 4 cubes, lol, so i wouldn't know much but my own opinion and others I have seen on videos.

Excellent review Pi! Was supposed to get the cubes today but guess I'll get it tomorrow. I ordered both the white/black and pillowed V-cube 3s. Looking forward to solving them. I think the design looks very familiar of other V-cube products, although yes those "torpedos" seem to be a new addition. Either way, been meaning to get this cube and excited to try it out. Keep up the great work! :-)

[@ManzGames]

If you had set up the Taiyan properly it's a million times better than the v cube

[@MeMyselfAndPi]

@kopi0hun Good question, but no. The Zhanchi has extensions that stick out into the corner. That just gets in the way of V-Cube. RedKB on his life stream with the Guhong did the same thing & still didn't fit right.

[@ehariharan9320]

Get an Zhanchi AND an Aolong for the same price of a totally lame and inferior V cube 3

[@TheHaibao123]

Lol this was three years ago......

[@ehariharan9320]

Its the same price for the vcube now.

[@SpeedcubingCentralspeedcuber]

and you can even get a zhanchi and a guhong

[@SpeedcubingCentralspeedcuber]

and also it depends where you buy this

[@TheWinnieston]

This is extremely interesting. I never thought to look at higher power cubes and note the similarities to the lower powered ones, especially how edges can be "fused" into a single edge piece.

[@koibo1]

I got my Dyan Zhanchi Stickerless for $11.49 from Amazon in 2 days fully assembled.

[@philosophiabme]

so did I like a week ago LOL

[@MichaelMarquardt333]

Me too, the edge pieces are different on that one than the standard Zhanchi, which makes me think it's a Guhong.

[@philosophiabme]

I thinkfor me a fully lubed Zhanchi would be to fast. But its pretty nice how it is out of the box!

[@koibo1]

Michael Marquardt Check the corners.

[@MichaelMarquardt333]

They're Zhanchi corners.

[@Strobeez]

Depends on preference. If you don't want to have good times and have a lot of money, get the V3. The Dayan Zhanchi is extremely fast but has a crispy feel. On the other hand, the Guhong has a nice smooth flow to it and feels really stable in your hands. The Guhong and Zhanchi are both very fast cubes and have very close corner cutting and turning, it's just a matter of how you turn the cube and which one fits your style better.

[@MLGFaZeHaZeFTW]

Lol, you seem like you are being payed by Vcube to say this.

[@jamesvisto]

Lando Cubing this is an 8 year old comment .-.

[@penguiny2]

Let's keep in mind that when Dayan came out with their 3x3 they were a brand new company. V cube already has a good idea how to make cubes. So you can't really compare the first Dayan cube to the v cube 3

[@petartodosijevic9691]

From my point of view I see that Dayan copied V-Cubes but at the same time V-Cubes copied Dayan. Dayan built the Zhanchi resembling other V-Cubes and taking out the pieces that weren't necessary and when V-Cubes saw that they got annoyed which is why they knocked off the GuHong. So yeah, it is even.

[@johnlee1168]

Your videos are amazing! Very great commentary that's fun to listen to. Keep up the great work! :D

[@ehariharan9320]

VCUBES copied the guhong. Kind of

[@butterflyspinart]

No, the guhong is a bandaged vcube 5, except vcube didn't notice it in their lawsuit.

[@JoshJumble]

butterflyspinart I'm pretty sure Dayan didn't mean to "copy" the V-cube 5. And yes, V-Cube 3 is pretty much a knockoff of the Guhong.

[@CASTCorp]

So essentially you're both saying that the vcube company copied themselves?

[@JoshJumble]

CAST Corp No, VCUBES copied Dayan, ands since Dayan is technically original, VCUBES didn't copy themselves. And about the Guhong looking a *bit* like the VCUBE 5, don't 95% of what we call "original design" 3x3s very slightly resemble it anyways? You can find similarities between ANY two mechanisms, after all.

[@CASTCorp]

Hey everyone--- I'm a new cuber and just got into cubing. After watching the tutorial by TheSergsB, I had a time of 3 minutes on my official cube. Wanting to go faster, I got something called like a YJ Sulong- I'm not sure. My time is 1.00.35. So, if anyone is kind enough to reply, could somone give me a link for a clean, understandable tutorial for a faster way to solve (i.e., the way Pi solves)?My personal goal is 30 seconds. Gotta start somewhere!!! Thanks

[@J3RS3YCAMP3R]

Pi solves using Friedrich method, or CFOP. It is quite advanced, and I would wait til you get to 30-40 seconds to learn it. Remember, it's the little things that add up to a shorter time, so keep practicing.

Because Shengshou took the V-Cube's design and made the Wind.

[@leftinvertedcubing9539]

You should have used the squishy springs if spring noise doesn't bother you. But Goldilocks springs are medium springs, Not too much spring noise, not too stiff, and you have 6 springs, just right.

Now, are you still going to compare Vcube 3 with Gan air SM?

[@theocuber9787]

I am pretty sure that V-Cubes went after DaYan because the GuHong is almost the same a a bandaged V-6. I guess V-Cubes wanted to get DaYan back by stealing the GuHong, or maybe just because it was still a bandaged V-6. Still, it is not as good. this has been done again, with New Island and QIYI although less so. New Island basically rebranded the QIYI Bullfight, so QIYI decided to get them back by stealing New Island's box and bag. In my opinion, Seven Towns and V-Cubes are just companies that are going to eventually end the cubing community by shutting every other company down, if you have heard of Rubik's recent "patent case."

[@keatonelliscubing]

They're both good cubes, it really just depends on your cubing style. The Guhong is more of a gummy cube, while the Zhanchi is more clicky.
