Amazing video! The best 3x3 choice for me is definitely the tornado v3. It’s still my main after almost 2 years.

The best of video never disappoints and I appreciate Steven relearning the Triangle for this.

It's kinda crazy how the tornado v3 and the gan 12 are still so relevant a year later

[@lukedfreeman]

2 years later for the Gan 12

[@vinesthemonkey]

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]

Not really crazy when that happens with dozens of cubes and even cubes from like 2018 are still relevant now

[@iliasnik21]

@@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

[@satriaplastik7499]

Thank you ❤❤ This is so helpful

[@vukovicore1030]

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.

[@OlgaFyodorova]

I guess just nothing changed for 2x2 and 4x4, so last year recommendations are still relevant.

[@Clock2x2person]

LETS GOO! 2023 cubes are so good

[@Qubze]

I’ve been waiting for the best cubes of 2023 for so long and this video is a banger

[@renardvert]

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.

[@user-yz2oq4vd7m]

I was waiting this video so much!! 🤩

[@miga5720]

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!!!

Lets go my favorite kind of cubicle video

[@Ohioonlygamer]

I been waiting for this

[@vanzantd8850]

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.

[@Fluffypotatoes4]

Gotta love cube reviews

[@draakisback]

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.

[@WatashiOcin]

I've been waiting for this my whole life

[@Shampoo9807]

Finally THIS video realesed🎉🎉🎉

[@DEATHBLAST77]

I have always loved the cubicle and always will support them. Although I can't buy from them bec of where I stay. But please keep making amazing choices and amazing vids !

[@makermelissa]

I have to agree on the 3x3 choice. It gave me consistently better results than even the GAN 12.

[@Bogo0112]

I'm sold and already bought all of these.

Nice video!

[@AtlasCubesOffical]

Cant believe that its already time for this video

[@zacharymillercubing]

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!

[@grahmfrey7755]

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

[@nimon503]

There is never too much tech for a cube to any skill level. Only too much cost

[@user-gw9du6xd6q]

You got the standard one or the special edition one?

[@transformerjames]

wrm v9 ball core maglev is able to get control with specific lube, and once you break it in it feels so good

[@prakharlal9909]

Hope cubehead will be in the making of this video next year

[@vyrus_yt6489]

Nice vid man

[@frozesprinklesunicorn6870]

I can't wait for next year lol

[@magicguyLOL]

I think WR M 2021 should be a recommendation... It's really good and it's not that expensive.

[@adriangd5040]

Babe, wake up! TheCubicle uploaded a best speedcubes video!

Alternative title: The best speedcubes of the year 2022 but with some new 3x3s!

[@phamhuy7803]

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

[@jhawley031]

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

[@nikmrn]

Man this year I haven't kept track of any cubes at all, I just bought the YS3M and Weilong V9 standard edition

[@aichaKR-gi4zn]

When I receive a slogan from this channel, my life comes back❤❤❤❤

[@f3st1ve_warden]

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)

[@sanadabujbara347]

Thx alot

[@kevinmorrice]

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

[@ShannonHartman-xd5gr]

So I really liked your arm v9 enhanced version setup. Do you think you could share us the lube setup and the tensions?

[@prakharlal9909]

YOOO FINALLY OH MY GOD ITS BEEN FOREVER

[@Omchiwich]

as someone who just ordered the tornado v3 yesterday i am very happy its in the top picks

[@pizzastock111]

Thanks steven my favorite big cube solver

[@StevenWintringham]

Yes 7x7 is my favorite

[@Kromatizer]

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

[@sed8181]

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.

[@NightWolf4223]

Qiyi clock is amazing I have one and love it so much. Got my time down to 3 second on the qiyi. Though I'll say this there are some sloves were the Pags get caught. I find to fix that just ppen it up and clean it and it should go back to the best again.

[@Fun_Cube_Master]

I use the Diansheng Solar M 2x2 as my main and I think it is really good for its price. This is just my opinion but as I am a sub 2 solver I think I can have an opinion on this

[@michaelwpahl]

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.

[@magnificentthe1st192]

Thank GOD Moyu is releasing new cubes, I thought they ran out of ideas

[@kevinwang7894]

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.

[@Speedcubenz]

intro edit was 🔥🔥🔥

[@borbalaschneller70]

Very good video. But next time please do 3x3 Blindfolded and One Handed as well

[@nl9820]

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??

[@Rooo8]

Any thoughts on which to get from the following two as a beginner? Super (the normal magnet one) or V5 dual adjustment?

[@gaelcastro1993]

YAyyyyy NEW ONE

YO I LOVE THIS!!!

[@MrNitrobigmac]

I’m hopeful for the release of RS3M V5 premium version soon

[@iosebqvartskhava3406]

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.

[@simracehouse]

Wow, I came from times where stickerless were illegal to use in competitions and now it’s only stickerless. Thank you for the video!

[@janisir4529]

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.
