Alpha 5 vs. F2!

[greatmythras]

0:58 that is what she said 1:20 that is also what she said

[ckn1312]

i prefer the a5,but if you lube it and seet thee tension the tensions right, i prefer an edison

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

Is that an unmodded Alpha V?

[JBoogie300]

whats your avg now? mine is 12 with an alpha v (my guhong is worn out after 3 months lol)

[ThePuzzler96]

@JBoogie300 like 12 lol:P and im using a year old guhong right now... talk about worn out haha

[JBoogie300]

@ThePuzzler96 haha yeah mine just started slowing down and popping A LOT

[greatmythras]

[14greenboy14]

@greatmythras Actually the have lives and not wacking of porn

[Toy8ox]

@guitarcubeohyes Oh believe me I have...done research that is. I was thinking of raging, but I don't know if any of you who disagree with me are really worth it...I am almost sure anyways that, like most of the world, you are too suborn to benefit from my input anyways. Seriously though, if you want me to explain to you why YOU do not know what you are talking about, please respond with a kind message. I am glad to explain to the open minded. If you still disagree, then we can agree to disagree

[JeffreyOKay]

A little off topic. Could you describe your method to me? I complete F2l in two steps instead of three now, and I learned two step OLL with ten algorithms, and use a few different algorithms to complete PLL, and I haven't found an increase in my time at all. I'm still only getting 30-40 seconds, which is REALLY bad compared to you. I'd be happy to just get in the 20's... What do you do to get less than 20 seconds?

[ranchlingger]

i have both. but my favourite cube atm is my stickerless ling yun

[MRTNWSS]

Is that a fully functional 3x3x5 ?

[ThePuzzler96]

@MRTNWSS lolno

[MRTNWSS]

@ThePuzzler96 :/ Ff ones are much more fun.

[Hjf625]

what about the dayan guhong? i have mine right now in my hands and it is amazing!!

[asderipieree]

Noobs rool the erth foolz!

[Toy8ox]

@ThePuzzler96 I lost all respect for you when I read you got an iMac. Why?

[ThePuzzler96]

@Toy8ox Well, my Dad got it for the whole family BECAUSE: We had been having to get a new PC every three years because they kept getting extremely slow and buggy. Mac's included features are way better (imovie and garage band for example), its much smaller, with just the monitor, and no huge bulky computer sitting under your desk. Also, everything is easier on Mac. When you install a program,it pops up and and WORKS. Unlike PC's when it seems like NOTHING works. MAC'S ARE BETTER. And way faster.

[Toy8ox]

@ThePuzzler96 "MAC'S ARE BETTER" Sorry you feel that way but, I feel I now need to defend PC's. Macs do have pretty good hardware for the most part however, by no means are they faster than PC's. Your new mac may be faster than your old PC but, that is most likely simply because you paid for it and with Mac, you will always pay more. I assume you do not know much about computer hardware because any PC can easily be more powerful than any mac at a better price.

[Toy8ox]

@ThePuzzler96 The operating system however is all preference. I'm dual booting not only windows but also Ubuntu Linux. The only reason I still have windows is for some windows only software and playing video games(good luck with that on a Mac). I would say PC's are the "fun" computer with the seemingly endless collection of software where all you seem to have is garage band. BTW I have Pro Tools on my PC which is far superior to your garage band.

[imboblolgodie]

@ThePuzzler96 lol no they arent. They are overpriced and have a disguting snob factor around them. You can build your own (same specs) for a fuckload cheaper. most of the price is for an apple on the outside of the PC.

[Brianimanuel3]

@ThePuzzler96 , Aw man , i want a Mac hahahaha

[MsEndo420]

Need your opinion :D Ghost hand 2x2 vs east sheen 2x2 and A5 vs the new AV-F

[footballfreakcwf]

if you had to recommend one, for a more beginner "cuber", what would it be?

[bondglitcher]

Can u give me a good f2l oll pll tutorial I can't find any and I want to shorten my times to something like yours

[TheLighterDark]

Ghost Hand II and Type F2 are interchangeable to make a crazy fuckin' awesome cube.

[bondglitcher]

which one locks up more?

[ThePuzzler96]

@bondglitcher AV

[sggibson1]

@ThePuzzler96 acually u were under a 45 degree angle

[oprah62]

f2 vs. a5vs. guhong

[RyzonRange]

i got both yeah!!

[Redparrot5]

dude this video is EXACTLY what I was looking for and helped me make an informed buy. Thanks for posting!

[DylanCube]

Hey buddy, if you use windows media movie maker to make your vids, they will probably fill up the whole youtube player if you go into options>16:9>ok. It just makes it wider. Those bars on the side of the player should dissapear! :D

[ThePuzzler96]

@DylanCube haha thanks for the info, but I got an iMac so now my videos are full screen!

[thaydiabolo]

easy way : just put the core of the F2 on the alphaV ! and you'll have a extremely awesome cube !

[ThePuzzler96]

@thaydiabolo haha not so easy...

[rsnba1]

Alpha V for my prefrence.

Alpha V is faster and lighter but loud.

F-II is fast and feels bubbly/ puffed out. F-II is quite.

Both have great Corner cuttings ( mine can cut 45 )

Hope this helped some people 

[MantarayProductions]

I'm really sad that i tottaly killed my F2, at camp I droped my cube in a bowl of soup. :( I know dumb rightt? Well it's okay now but soon I think the core might to start to rot... or wreck the plastic. Nice review getting a A5 soon.

[ThePuzzler96]

@NewSuperHelioBros Clean it out and tighten it.

[Chapuunka]

noobs rool the erth foolz

[Om3gaTube]

Defiantly subscribing...great review!

[ChristianCuber]

cube collection video please!!!

[Speedcuber74]

Which one do you prefer?

[zipdog12]

my main cube is a rubik's storebought modded into a diy XD but it is very good...it has that same silky smooth feel and performs almost exactly as the f2 in this video, so I think I would go with the alpha v! if I get one...

[Guinepigsrock]

My main is c-2 it pops alot

[thaydiabolo]

sexy puzzles [2] why you don't make a collection video ?

[ThePuzzler96]

@thaydiabolo Haha i will when i get around to it. Some of my friends are borrowing some cubes right now so when i get them back i'll try and make a collection vid :)

[thaydiabolo]

@ThePuzzler96 ok ! but how many cubes you have ?

[ThePuzzler96]

@thaydiabolo no idea lol. Every time i count i have less lol

[Rubiktehedren]

I noticed the caps on the f2, too.

[Ms09890]

Dude my AV pops WAY more than my FII

[ThePuzzler96]

@Ms09890 Hmmm... I think the AV tensions are touchy because on mine the smallest adgustment changes the popping rate a lot. Try tightening to a LITTLE bit. It might make a difference, it might not. I'm probably totally wrong (as usual) lol

[xxoxia]

@Ms09890 - The AV needs to be tightened almost all the way. Mine is where you can pull out the centers a little less than a millimeter. Maybe around a millimeter. Tighten it a lot. It still feels loose, and WILL NOT POP. For F2, it's so hard to set the tensions correctly. It took me quite a while. My screws are cooked a little though. It looks like they are anyway. My F2 never pops either.

[xxoxia]

Dude, my corner cuts at PAST 45!

[ThePuzzler96]

@xxoxia on my f2 yeah

[xxoxia]

@ThePuzzler96 - No, I mean my F2. It cuts past 45, as my A5 cuts at 45 with a little more effort. My F2 never pops though. It takes forever to set it right.

[Shapaless21]

I've got both, really enjoy my FII more

[BeatlesHero]

wow sexy puzzles.

[ThePuzzler96]

@BeatlesHero You know it :)

[CubesOfTheWorld]

My FII cuts 45.

[ThePuzzler96]

@CubesOfTheWorld yep mine 2

[brotherlybrother11]

f2 looks amazing but the a5 looks so crispy

you forgot ythe noise the a5 is very noisy

[killy1323]

Tnx a lot!

[AvidCuber]

Crap, I was about to make this. Oh well, nice review.
