Gan is just the apple of cubing
Yes it is
That is true
and turning isnt better than the x man tornado v3
yea
My father said that
Instead of switching the magnets you can also just remove them, which counts as more settings
Ah yes, the Gan 14 Lev.
gan should do other cubes than 3x3. they made the best mirror cube, the best skewb, very good megaminx and 2x2, (they kinda failed pyra and 4x4) but i would like to see a gan square-1, clock, 5x5, mastermorphix, ghost cube, 3x3x5, master pyraminx, redi cube, FTO and many other !
Their Pyraminx is my main since after adding some max command to it, it becomes nice fore at least my turning style. That’s just me.
Bro the megaminx sucks lol
thx for sharing ur opinion and setup👍 i was actually talking about something i dont have lol
@@Anthony_Jiang yeah, my friend has one and he says it is such a pain to adjust it, and weighs to much.
@@Anthony_Jiangit’s not terrible but the dyan is miles better
Man we’re already on the Gan 14?? When I was in Grade 5, I got the newest Gan at the time which was the Gan 11 M Pro. Still serves me well on the occasions when I wanna practice.
When I was still in high school their flagship was the original 356 air m and the record was still Felik's 4.73
your videos are just amazing!
You just keep on making amazing videos
Glad to see your arm healed :)
I've tried a gan 365 back when I was newer still, it was good because I didnt know any better, then I got a problem with it always loosening (I spilt coke or something on it it was my fault) and I switched to valk, I liked the Valk elite M which was my first magnetic cube but I never adjusted anything and didnt really understand all the adjustments, now I'm using the x-man tornado v2m and really loving it, it's not quite as snappy as day 1 sadly but it still does great for me, when I need an upgrade I might go for the v3m or I may change off of x-man completely
This video is as smooth as the cube.
Make a 1000th Video Special. I really enjoy your videos! :D
While I can certainly see this lasting longer in terms of overall object lifespan compared to using springs, I do wonder how often anyone ever has to replace a spring that wore out as opposed to any other part breaking. As for the price, I can imagine that the magnets make it harder to both manufacture and put together, so that may be a consideration in the pricing and why it costs $88, but I certainly would never pay that. My most expensive 3D puzzle was around $15 and I can't imagine paying more than $20 for any.
there are magnetic cubes for like 7 dollars lol
@@jamosai5121 Okay, and are they as good?
Kind of, 10 dollar cubes are considered “budget” cubes and may feel cheap. There are many reasons why GAN is charging so much: they have amazing attention to detail and user experience, they’re the most famous speedcube company, and well, profit. I don’t think all these features (1296 settings, maglev, core magnets, adjustable everything) is worth 88 dollars, I personally think that it’s worth about $50-60.
Going back to the budget cube stuff, most budget cubes have magnets and a dual-adjustment system. They’re missing maglev and core magnets, but if you want these features you should get a flagship cube or some REALLY good budget cubes (RS3M V5 BC UV). Even then, features such as repelling edge magnets and adjustable magnets are not present on some flagships.
The best budget cubes are extremely cheap, and can stack up to the best of the best (to some degree). They may not have THE BEST performance, nor will they feel as refined like a flagship, but they certainly are usable for every level of cubing.
For example, the standard RS3M 2020 with just regular magnets and a dual-adjustment system is a mainworthy cube for just $9. On the other side of the spectrum, there will be people who main the GAN 14 M Maglev UV or the Super Weilong (~$90) that have a higher budget, and will receive a puzzle with more sophisticated features and a much better experience.
@@jamosai5121 Well, I wouldn't even pay more than $30 for a puzzle, so if a $10 cube is better than a non-magnetic one I'd certainly give it a shot. As long as it is as high of quality as the non-magnetic one it would be worth it.
maglev is more for changing the elasticity of the cube since repelling magnets have different forces based on distance compared to springs. everything else like being slightly less friction is minimal.
I agree with the GAN man I like the uncontrollable feel
I'm just waiting for more stickerless version to puzzles come out... Like the curvy copter
J perm said in one of his videos he doesn't like you big fan love you ♡
You know those videos where you put a cube in a bottle? You should do that with the yuxin treasure chest
Everyone’s getting and releasing vids on the 14 today
I’m still on the fence about the 14 I use the 13 and from what I’ve been hearing it’s not worth the upgrade but I’m curious about it, that’s how I got the 13
Nice Gan 14😎
nice vid
The adjustment on the edges actually changes the edge core magnets
Interesting, I didn't know that!
Alright now we have seen the Gan 14, now its time to think about THE GAN 15
I use the 13 only for playing around and doing some new algs as well. Think only maglev is way to fast imo
I feel like upgrading. I've been using the GAN 11 M Pro since release and have loved it. I feel like it's time to upgrade though.
bro, in gan 11 m pro which stronger magnet triangel or hexagonal?
@@yogasuprayitna hexagon
0:20 Fantastic 😂
can you make a video where you magnetize the teraminx?
No GAN box will ever beat the 11. I could open and close that thing repeatedly all day and not get bored.
man, is gan gonna be the apple of the cubing world?
Already is
im getting this cube by around November.
it's a waste of 88 dollars
Nice cube but damn i just love my xman v3. Does everything i need it to do, feels great and cost me about half ad much
pls make another Q and A?
i feel like gan cubes are just profiting off the fact that a lot of people still think its the best, but you can get cubes of similar quality for like a third of the price
Exactly! Couldn’t agree more. They are packing them overly fancy and people are paying more for ridiculous packing when moyu is equally as good, if not then better, than gan
@@rgnszeb123I don’t know but I can agree it’s really expensive but I don’t think Moyu and all the others are better but everybody has their opinions and also I think the tornado V3 would be a good competitor
Gan needs to focus on Magic Defense next, Turning and Speed are pretty good but can Gan survive a Firaga?
I'd say it would cost an arm and a leg but like... you kinda need one of those
6:56 Funny, with my settings, my MoYus all tend to be very fickle, I just have to be in a flow and continue the turn while it's caught and the thing explodes. Hell, some even fell apart when just sitting in my pocket on account of persons bumping into me and whatnot.
7:37 As for me buying GANs, I only go for the limited editions, if I find them beautiful enough.
is it uncontrollable? I own gan 14 my settings are 2 on small gear ,5 on big gear and all magnets are maxed at first I thought it's uncontrollable but after tried solving many days on it it's getting even better now itss soo like a tv3 flagship I own tv3 flagship and pioneer tooo I always prefer flagship because it's so controllable and now I feel my gan 14 is like a flagship tv3 its soo better than before I main gan 14 now it's really worth it
Make a Maglev 4x4 with a magnetic core The MGC Can get a Magnetic Core I’m subscribed ❤
I want to see a better 4, 5 or sq-1 or pyra
Iwl want to see GAN 15
I would help me out alot
epicvid
I have had this and wanted to do a review but I thinks it’s too good, I love it. It works for me very well and in my opinion is the best rn
Hi, I am a cuber who wants to buy a first GAN 3x3. Do you think that GAN 12 Maglev or GAN 14 Maglev is better? Because I can't choose.
The 12 is the best Gan cube.
video #9 of asking for the worlds best force speedcubes
the amount of settings here hurts my head. i cant imagine trying to find the best ones for me. maybe that is because im no longer a speedcuber and i forgot what half of these mean, but still. too much for my mush brain 😅
I got the 13
Wow
Please make more tutorials
what is the algo in 7:08?
Every cuber is getting the GAN 14 i need to get one LOL
gan is apple and x man tornado is samsung, I dont wanna explain the whole thing so please someone explain❤
GAN=APPLE!!!!!
do a 5x5 that looks like a scrambled 4x4!
huh?
he did a 4x4 that looks like a scrambled 3x3 2 years ago@@Swiftstar14
I didn't buy
It cuz the weilong v9 is hands down the best cube. I will buy a 12 soon, but i don't know if it will b better for me or not😊
I have both. For me gan 12 fits me better
i bet i can buy a gan 14 but it is 88 dollars and i am buying gan 12 and gan 13 in december
Only 3 videos left to 1000
Gan is the Apple of cubing, except instead of limiting options so the great user experience is the focus, they’re becoming a postmodern mess of infinite user customisation. It makes the cubes undefinable and without any character that sets it apart other than the initial USP that fails to really deliver anyway. When products enter this stage they rarely last long in the marketplace. RIP Gan.
Guys whats the best first gan cube i used to cube but some kid destroyed it😢
Go with something cheaper to start like the M or ME
hiiii i want that for christmas lol
But I will want it if it come wrong for The 13
Interesting video but really $88 is far too much for a puzzle cube I think a decent one or the most you should pay for one is around $20
Bro I still use a Valk3....non-magnetic...magnets didnt exist back then. We still had a WR of 5 seconds and things didn't cost an arm and a leg.
U should de magnetize this bcs it would be funny
5000+PHP for this i hope its good enough to upgrade to my 2 year old RS3M 2020 with a magnetic ballcore
Don't get it. Get a 12 maglev instead
@@markastroboy mhhmmmm?? Why the gan 12?
I might get it bcuz its my first gan
@@clammyK I have a friend that has the gan 14 and it pops up whenever he tries to be aggressive (yes even in tight settings sometimes) also, go ahead and watch thecubicle's review of the gan 14. Gan 12 is a lot more stable and easier to setup, I have it as my main.
@@markastroboy what about the middle? The 13?
@@markastroboy i have my ald rs3m main to be very loose
innovative or overpriced?
overpriced
What do you average?
I think he’s said he averages like 15
wow im younger and i average 10

I am not going to get it for my birthday I am gating GAN 13
😱😪😭
2nd can I get a pin?
Alex do you think you can gift me a Gan air m please
The gan air m is not a great speedcube anymore, get the 356 ME when it comes out.
Just expensive for the second year in a row.
And their last real real innovation was the GES nuts, becausse every magnetic thing they brought up was actually copy of chris tran's ideas.
I've been saying they're going for 100 dollars for three years now. They want to break that barrier so much…
Many people ask how this got pinned
lmao didnt get pinned
I ask why this didn't get pinned 😭
Stuff like that really annoys me. Yeah, lemme just manufacture more wasteful plastic (the card) 🙄
The gan 15 maglev will have 1296 magnets
