The Best Cubes of 2021 - featuring CubeHead!

[@CubeHead]

I nailed that outro if I do say so myself

[@talentedcuber]

True!

[@nikmrn]

finally my favorite series with my favorite youtuber

@au145 hi

[@KrisThePingu]

Yes

[@canonballrun3428]

It's amazing how YJ went from a low performance budget brand to dominating the big puzzle market, as well as so many other events, like megaminx and square-1. They have completely changed, and applaud the whole company for innovation, performance and price.

[@cherry8385]

kinda like gan

[@canonballrun3428]

Yeah.

[@thesphyrth]

Bought the YuHu V2 for a friend for his birthday last May coz all the reviews indicated that it's the only eco-performance option. I knew I'll never be disappointed by the purchase.

[@ImNotPeso]

@@cherry8385 i think gan is very different. They pioneered the speedcube industry and very early on were making some of the best high performance cubes

[@zetrow9]

@@ImNotPeso gan also really only ever did 3x3's too tho

I think bro is scared to add clock

[@ZuhairKhan]

"you'll s-... I will s-...ciao" Best Outro Of 2021 👏👏

[@adc7071]

thanks for this, this is a great tool for someone coming back to cubing after a while such as myself

[@NoahPlayz421]

I use this every time a buy a cube now! It's the best, but we need a best cubes of 2022 now!

[@seankim2916]

My thoughts: Skewb: Gan Clock: Qiyi clock Megaminx: yuhu and Dayan Pyraminx: steven’s little magic, gan, and qiyi ms 5x5: mgc or valk 5 6x6: mgc or shadow v2 7x7: mgc or spark 4x4: Aosu wrm, Aosu gts2m, or mgc 2x2: valk 2, gan 251m pro, mgc 3x3: I’ll pick 2 from each company: Qiyi: tornado or valk 3 Moyu: original weilong wrm or rs3m 2020 (or any variants) Gan: gan 356m or gan 11m pro/duo Dayan: tengyun

[@swaggerdagger_101]

agree

[@mikealstom0631]

Personally I think aochuang wrm should be here instead of valk5

[@hazzle_frazzle]

I saw the Skewb AO5 WR happen! I was there! I was judging across the table when it happened!!!

[@Kewbix]

Nooooo, that poor yuhu megaminx in the beginning 😢 Seriously though, this was a super well made video! I really loved the 🔥 edits

[@adiclaps9457]

I have the RS3M 2020 and it's very good I'm an intermediate cuber and I set my pb 17.2 with this cube

[@CubingWizardOfficial]

Finally the video I wait for once every year

[@vincentsmith3173]

This video came out just in time, can’t wait to get back into cubing

[@pumpkinut5314]

Cubing is addictive and I’m so glad I choose this hobby.

[@ZuhairKhan]

Congrats on 200k Cubehead and theCubicle!!

[@xAntisune]

Oh yeahhh

[@zerozero3138]

I would recommend the yj mini 4x4 and 5x5 for anybody that has small hands or likes smaller cubes, the price and performance is great.

[@elrockerchido]

even for big hands like mine its my main since it came out, awesome little thing

[@coltonjohnston2927]

Surprising how Qiyi/X-man has so many fewer cubes on this list compared to a couple years back. In 2018 they were mentioned for every puzzle except 3x3. They still have some really solid cubes but it's great to see other brands improving as well and giving us more options for side events and big cubes.

[@MatthewLiuCube]

2: Valk 3: Valk 4: Ambition 5: Valk 6: Shadow V2 (apparantly better than MGC after a lot of breakin) 7: Spark I think Max's 5/6/7 mains are Valk/Shadow V2 / Spark, which I believe are the world record cubes (unless his 6x6 main is the MGC)

[@leop7712]

Mgc is so overhyped, they are cheap cubes with cheap quality I just dont get why you would get a cheap, sub-par cube if being serious about cubing Imo the best cubes are 2x2 nothing 3x3 WRM 2021 Maglev 4x4 Aosu WRM 5x5 Valk 5 6x6 Mgc/shadow v2 7x7 Spark Square 1 Volt v2/mgc Clock QIYI Skewb Gan Megaminx Gan Pyraminx Gan

[@MatthewLiuCube]

@@leop7712 I think the only two MGC's that are safely the best cube ever are the 6x6 and Square-1

[@kylekyle2171]

@@leop7712 i guess they are not overhyped when wr were set by mgc cubes, especially with that price.

[@leop7712]

@@MatthewLiuCube Not tried the squan but i agree with 6x6

[@cubishworld]

NGL I really loved the 2020's video on this topic and right after seeing CubeHead in the 2021's video ik this will be on next level!!!!!!

[@thesphyrth]

RS3M 20 and 11 M Pro It's now a race to stand the test of time. (Valk 2, and YuHu V2 as well). I hope DaYan continues to produce the TengYun V1.

[@biplopacharya6392]

I will recommend the weipo wrs 2021 if I say myself

[@aaronmoi5980]

Hey thanks I am looking into buying the skewb,square-1 the clock and all the m g c big cubes 4x4-7x7

[@Cubrics]

I like how they don't diss square 1 and clock 🤣

[@Juzt_Charlie]

Let's be real now, we clicked on the video, mostly because of CubeHead XD

[@childishbambino2024]

The MGC line is just too good almost all cubes in the line could be argued for as the best overall for price and performance in their respective categories

[@wxbrainiac]

other than 3x3 4x4 and up its really just a no brainer for someone who wants to start speed solving bigger cubes after you get super fast though for 4x4 5x5 and 7x7 there are better options but they cost more

[@yzScott]

Currently, I cannot find a 4x4 that I like as well as my MGC 5x5.

[@bull_frog1]

Except for 3x3. 4x4 maybe. Everything else is amazing

[@wxbrainiac]

@@bull_frog1 i mean the 3x3 as the breaking issue but other than that its still main worthy but the 4x4 does fall behind a little compared to the aosu

[@bull_frog1]

@@wxbrainiac understood. However I wouldn't main it over the 11mpro or wrm maglev, rs3 maglev, etc.

[@mc_cubing3639]

What about for 2022 And my main is the yoo cube deluxe

[@林真活]

I been waiting for this

[@alanlikescubing2438]

I love that editing at the start with the cool background music

i really cant wait for the 2022 edition!

[@diegovieira3967]

[@rikishikato5001]

But buying MGC 5 is basically rolling for gacha, tho. You either get the good ones with no defects, or get the bad one with stripped core(s)

[@don.550]

What a good intro 🔥🔥🔥

[@-BlueX]

YES CUBEHEAD GOOO

[@Californ1a]

I'd also include the yj zhilong mini 4x4. It's incredibly good if you like smaller cubes.

[@rempanda]

Oh perfect! Glad I saw this comment, I'm really wanting a smaller 4x4 because my hands are tiny. That's going on the wishlist then

[@anettkruus]

Yup and thats my main

[@amarachiokonkwo3859]

Yes, my main.

[@brayden2983]

9:42 The Expensive and Good Category for 3x3. Why The GAN 11 M Pro. Looking for a cube in this category that is both really well preforming and expensive. Why not the *$135 GAN 11 12 M Pro Maglev* . It is The 12 Maglev without the catching problem and without the other issues and it is by far more expensive than any other cube.

[@ibie27]

Hows ur comment black-

[@mikealstom0631]

The 12 no longer has the catching problem

[@MamtaSingh-po6ly]

Thats why we want him as the CEO of cubicle

[@funfetti7194]

my though: 7x7 + 6x6 + 5x5: YJ MGC 4x4: MoYu Auso WR 3x3: X-man Tornado V2 M, Gan 11 M pro, RS3M 2021 2x2: YJ Yupo + YJ MGC elite Sq-1: X-Man Volt fully magnetic Skewb: X-man wingy concave Clock: Qiyi magnetic clock Pyraminx: Little magic Megaminx: X-man Galaxy + YJ YuHu

[@Bedwars_Noob-bs2vl]

that fire intro!!!

[@cuberstu]

Gr8 review, real slick 👍

[@Leonardo-cw1dd]

for 5x5 i prefer the wrm, 6x6 i favor the shadow v2 and 7x7 the spark, for backup mains is hands down mgc line

[@wxbrainiac]

yeah for anything other than 6x6 there are better options but mgc is reliable and cheap plus there 6x6 is up there with the best of the 6x6s

[@DudeOf_Pros]

I have the x man tornado v2m (non magnetic core) and I improved in my time so much!

[@msn2005]

bad reverse corner cutting?

[@brandoncalvert8379]

I love cubehead so much lol

[@duckiecuber]

CubeHead: "I will s... You will s... ciao." Me: *laughing bc funny outro*

[@cubingroom]

Really impressed by the new ceo

[@Tarantulah]

I remember using the old YJ megaminx 5 years ago and finding it so dull drudging around all the pieces to do a megaminx solve so I actually gave it away. I recently picked up Dayan megaminx (I find the ones with heavier ridges ugly, shallow I know) just to try out what a new one was like and WOW I actually like megaminx now! I also picked up the YJ MGC 6x6 because I always wanted to love 6x6 buut the shengshou one I had just turned so horribly and I am in LOVE, deffinitly in my top 3 puzzles, right behind 4x4... speaking of, I might need a new 4x4 now since my 6x6 turns better than it!

[@hockeycenter856]

I’ll be sure to get some of these! 👍

[@crackertime2164]

Me too

[@ickgtib]

What about the X man bell v2? I thought it's the best one!

[@jilldavis6768]

i would say that the gan mexaminx is one of the best mexaminx

[@JustAMidGamer]

For 3x3 I recommend instead of the Gan 11 use the Gan 12 11 maglev m pro that j perm made

[@natewalks9897]

Anyone have an opinion for the wrm? They don’t say maglev, but I’m wondering what people think about ut

[@fr4u_keebs604]

I feel like for honorable mention for 3x3, I would replace the tornado for the mgc evo. For the same price, Yoo get better corner cutting, adjustable magnets with more options for strength, and the tensioning can go clockwise and counterclockwise. Just an amazing cube and it really shows when you lube it. It’s suuuper fast so I used weight 6 and more control lubes on it. Banger vid tho!!!

[@futureddude4250]

Corner cutting is very true, but tornado gets a dual adjustment system along with adjustable magnets, just allowing the cube to be recommended to a lot more people, so I think it’s the better choice

[@fr4u_keebs604]

@@futureddude4250 the mgc is relatively new and not many people have it yet so time will tel which the better cube will be in terms of reception from buyers

[@fr4u_keebs604]

@@futureddude4250 also again they do have the same features the for the same price so again only time will tell which cube is better

mgc evo seems pretty bad for its price from what ive heard compared to a lot of people liking the tornado
