The original Rubik's cube is great for beginners. It encourages slower turns and the sturdy build makes it hard to break in cases of severe frustration.

[peteroselador]

J Perm once brought up that Rubik's brand doesn't really corner twist or pop. For non-speedcubers who wouldn't know how to fix those issues in a way that keeps the cube solvable, it's more important cube design makes these things impossible than it is important for cubes to be fast.

Gan: iphone of rubiks cubes
Rubiks Brand: nokia of rubiks cubes🗿

[tylerjones]

It wouldn’t be that difficult to fix the Rubik’s Brand, smaller core, smoother edges, and the corners in the pieces could be rounded for more corner cutting

[THE_AETHER]

The thing about the Rubik's cube is that it was designed as a puzzle, not a competition.
Speed cubes are built for the competition.

[BadlyDrawnJack]

No, GAN isn't the Apple of speedcubes. GAN is actually something good.

That “weyoi uuhhh magnets expensive ooh” got me dying 😂😂 lmao 🤣

[JohnvanCapel]

The OG Rubik's Cube was set up to be basically "temperamental child" proof. Like you demonstrated, you can throw it at a wall and the wall will lose that battle - but it's also super unlikely to pop or corner-twist during normal use. Non-cubers often consider a cube "broken" if it's popped or corner-twisted - I remember having to rescue an expensive speedcube from the trash can because my cousin corner-twisted it.

That comes at the expense of having almost no corner-cutting ability and having a lot of friction making it hard to turn., but then again it's not meant to be their Speedcube (the Rubik's brand speedcube is still kinda terrible though, but for different reasons).

[joshdelf]

I think its also built the way it is to prevent the cube from popping and corner twists. You have to keep in mind its the OG cube meant for people that don't understand the puzzle and if anything like that were to happen then the puzzle is therefore "broken" to them

[shahshah]

The Rubik's brand actually made a magnetic speed cube and its actually good ! I tried it myself. Its called the Rubik's speed. Would really look forward to you making a video about it!

[AI-Idiot]

it would be a thousand times better by just rounding edges and using steel rods instead of plastic where it needs reinforcements. then just decrease the drag when turning by using hydrobearings for the faces instead of plastic rubbing against plastic

[DVSS]

4:00 It's the nokia 3310 of cubes!

[lollertoaster]

I have a Rubik's cube that's almost 20 years old. I got into cubing recently and bought a MeiLong as soon as I got some disposable pennies. I always assumed that it turns this horrible at least in part because of its age. But seeing how your brand new cube turns exactly like mine now I wish I could get my hands on a new one just to see if there is any difference.

The original Rubik's Cube wasn't designed for speed so it does it's job perfectly. We should all be thankful to Erno Rubik.

[Immortal_cubing_builder]

Hey people It takes the average person about three hours to solve a Rubik's cube for the first time, but it can take a speedcuber only seven seconds. As the name implies, speedcubing is a sport in which participants solve, most commonly, the 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube as quickly as possible

[cheekylion]

Hi cube head! I have been watching your channel for a year and I just want you to know you are an amazing content creator. Keep it up!

[zimmerlicker]

i think they should include a section for standard Rubik's cubes in the competitions, keep it old school like:-)

[dallisaeggers]

I got an original Rubik's cube a couple years ago for Christmas. It was the first one I ever owned, and only a few months ago did I solve it. Now I own a 2×2, a new 3×3, a 4×4, a pyraminx, a megaminx, and a Rubik's phantom. The mega minx is the only one I can't solve. But I would never have gotten interested in them if I had not played around with the original.

[mpg]

I'm an old school cube user, or maybe just old cube user. I learned how to solve when i was about 10, i'm now over 50. I like the old feel and clunkyness of the original design, I like cubes with stickers. Yes I have some speed cubes and yes they are quicker, but they just don't 'feel' like a cube. the original still has a place in my small collection.

Oh my gosh I love this video SO MUCH!!
