[19.25] FTO Single from the Autumn Seasonal Showdown
Relatable, always happen to me :////
What alg do you do at 9:54? I need to learn that stupid case
The TCP? It's the same one from Aedan's video a couple of years ago: T Uo U’ D (F’ U F) D’ Fo (F’ U F U’)
would you recommend the qiyi over the dayan i dont have any ftos rn and the dayan is a bit to steep of a price for my first for me so which one would u recommend for an absolute beginner?
@@ColorBlock11 hard to say I can't recommend the QiYi or the Diansheng for anyone who wants to speedsolve FTO because DaYan is so so much better. That being said if you want a decent FTO as a beginner, then either the Diansheng or QiYi is good enough. The Diansheng is smaller and smoother but the edges pop out a lot, it performs well but those explosions can be devastating. If you'd prefer stability and reliability at the cost of a slightly blockier puzzle then go for the QiYi. I have fast times with the DS and QiYi so they're still usable, they just hurt my hands and fail to perform at the same level as the DaYan
@@EddtheRexMan I’ll most likely get the Qiyi cuz it sounds like the ds has more downsides then the Qiyi
And most of the issues u were describing in the Qiyi can be fixed with setup
@@ColorBlock11 you'd want to Florian mid to reduce the catches, and the springs are very short so there's not a lot of room for tensions You could get by on the QiYi just fine as a beginner though
@@EddtheRexMan I've done spring mods before so I don't think that that is a problem and I wouldn't be able to do a florian mod. I'll get the qiyi one thx for the tips man rlly appreciate them
honestly dayan already made a diferent size version of their mega after the release, so it's definitely not out of question
@@igortarasow I hope so I hope so pleeeaaase DaYan 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I haven't bought it yet because I expect a mini sized one.
Wait, QiYi is making one too? Wow! Such a bonanza of hardware within 6 months. I'm glad there are more options now, but I don't think the QiYi looks like the one for me. I really don't like the tiled look, and with the size of my thumbs, I quite like the larger size of the Dayan. I do hope they offer some alternate tile colors, though, so people with color vision limitations can customize like they do with 3x3 stickers.
@@TheBookDoctor This one isn't a sample; the QiYi FTOs have been out for several weeks now. And I agree, the DaYan is still the best for me too. I wonder if perhaps we just need a company to make a stickered version so that people with colour vision issues can change the stickers 🤔
and shengshou announced their fto
@@igortarasow ikr? 💀 Based on their photo it's not gonna be a speedcube option so at least we can still confidently buy the DaYan 😅
It needs to be modded into a Super Ivy Cube.
@@solver5k 😂😂😭😭
Oh noooo this hurts 😂
Lmao I get the reference
Congrats on the ER Edd! 🎉
@@360cubed5 thank you Michael! Also congrats on the DaYan xWRs! 😅
In my opinion Qiyi has the best aesthetic out of the modern FTOs, but my favourite is obviously the DaYan, i got mine on Friday and i have been spending HOURS solving on it
Agreed! If we could have a mini DaYan (in black tiled too maybe) I would be soooo set 🫡
@@EddtheRexMan that would be amazing tbh 🙏🏻
It turns out the thing that was rattling around was the catch on the box. It appears mine was cracked at some point so a piece came off. Doesn't matter since I'm not taking this FTO anywhere where it needs to be super secure. Also, please excuse the watermark in the bottom left corner, I forgot I had that turned on!
Let's go!!!! Congrats on the new European Records!!!
@@DinoCuber cheers 🫡 got a few months before the next round so let's see if I can pull it sub20 in the next few 👀👀
Fto is offical Disceptlinna?
no, but it's held as an unofficial event at some competitions
@@ПашаРыжаков-ь2ы not yet! This was an unofficial round held at Hampshire Autumn 2024, and we use cubingcontests.com to host all the results for these unofficial rounds
grats again! can't wait to get my Dayan in a few weeks (:
@@felixstuhlmann554 once you do it's so over for me 👀👀👀
Congrats on the ER! also thanks for the mention
@@CubingChaos-Liv444 thank you, and congrats again on your very nearly sub20 single!
lets goo! congrats 🎉
@@dachiiiii 💪 do you have a comp coming up soon? Expecting great things from you 👀
@@EddtheRexMan sadly not, there are no comps with FTO rounds in my region 🥲
@@dachiiiii 😭 gotta hound your delegates and organisers, or organise a comp yourself so you can have FTO 👀
@@EddtheRexMan true 🤭
This is what I like most about FTO, the unexpected times and averages that just feel mind-blowing to watch 🤯
@@RubiksRonaldo ngl I love how many parts of an FTO solve can be lucky, or just skipped entirely It doesn't mean I get very high variation on my solves but it also means I get some lovely fast fellas, like the 17 😅
@@EddtheRexMan that's true, it feels so rewarding whenever you skip a step, your solve just feels so fluid 💪
Nice! Congratulations! What difference do the alternate springs make?
@@TheBookDoctor thanks! The alt springs are longer so they feel stronger. The puzzle feels a bit more stable and tactile, which I prefer. I've always tended to prefer slightly heavier/slower puzzles so these do me nicely without being sluggish

@@EddtheRexMan Well then, Goodluck this weekend.
love this "segment"!! glad to see that more and more people are into fto :) best of luck edd and others competing this upcoming weekend!
@@phikid0 thank you, hopefully I can cook on Saturday 🫡
I swear the moment I get the Dayan Moyu is gonna release one
@@KyleDoesCubing don't worry, as far as we know there isn't a MoYu FTO coming any time soon. There is a QiYi FTO releasing tomorrow (12th October) but as Zhihai described, it's very much going to be the budget option of the 3
This is exciting. By the way, Flex in Lex 2024 (I'm an organizer for it) has Mirror Blocks, but not FTO. :)
@@solver5k thanks for the heads up! Yeah I noticed when I was putting the links in the description that I read out of a few competitions that didn't have FTO 🤦 Next one of these that I make, I already have a few things I want to do differently and careful reading before recording is top of that list 😅 Thanks for the comment, and maybe Kentucky can have some FTO alongside mirror blocks in the future 👀
@@EddtheRexMan Definitely! I've talked with a few people about organizing a mostly non-WCA comp, including FTO, with one WCA event. :)
@@solver5k amazing, sounds great! Can you fly me over to join? 😅 Just kidding, maybe it's time for me to get involved and organise a comp 🤔

so excited for this!!! my dayan fto comes in about 3 days and just watching you turn it made me fall in love with it lol
@@purpleclock_njkim it's an instant main for me. I broke all my pbs except single within a few hundred solves and I haven't even lubed it yet 🔥
@@EddtheRexManwhen’s the full review coming out?
@@pengusplayz5756 hard to say because I don't have much time to record stuff over the next few weeks. I will say that I have been absolutely loving the DaYan so far. No reason to go back to the Diansheng. 😅 If you're remotely serious about speedsolving FTO, then the DaYan is the best option by a wide margin
@@EddtheRexMan thanks!
Which are you and the FTO enthusiasts watching this video looking forward to, the Diansheng FTO Large size? or the DaYan FTO Small size?
Honestly, a smaller version of the DaYan would be ideal. A larger Diansheng would have no advantage over the current DaYan. After several days of solving, I've broken all my pbs except single so I am happy to say that the DaYan is definitively better, unless the large size is a deal breaker (it isn't for me). In fact, I never got a 14 on the Diansheng but I just got a 14.51 today on the DaYan 🔥
How hard can you turn it?
@@itzecuber with sufficiently tight tensions, I can turn pretty aggressively without pops or catches The corner cutting is much better on this than the Diansheng so you can get away with much less accurate turning in this, I think
Finally
@@itzecuber 😤😤😤
To be fair. Dyan has always had a nac for making the first truly good of puzzle types. Megaminx, guhong, 2x2. Etc
Absolutely, and I think this is no exception! DaYan have really tried to set the bar nice and high for FTO hardware. There are still plenty of improvements to be made but this is an amazing FTO debut!
How does it feel compared to the DaYan Pro megas or GuHong Pro if you have or tried them?
@@OreKehStrah I'm afraid I haven't tried any of those, sorry :/ I can tell you it feels great though 😅not the most objective comparison I guess
@EddtheRexMan are there any puzzles it feels similarly too?
I’ve been trying to break the sub 30 barrier on fto. Have you got any tips or suggestions? Also so excited for the Dayan fto!
@@CubingChaos-Liv444 don't underestimate the value of untimed solves and unlimited inspection. The former has been especially helpful for me because I can take the time to find more efficient solutions.
While this may not apply to you exactly, I have made a video with a few intermediate tips: ruclips.net/video/nIc2ws-XPfE/видео.htmlsi=wK15e2fNBA5zdnAg I also made a video about fixing mistakes, so feel free to take a look at that too: ruclips.net/video/lXlB5Z2wbO4/видео.htmlsi=WJ8ASmPd9jcrNr-6
What 3x3 would you say this is most comparable to?
@@ColorBlock11 Zhihai (larch_cuber on Instagram) made the following comparisons: 1. LanLan is like an old Rubik's brand 2. QiYi's upcoming FTO is like a Qimeng V3 3. Diansheng is like a Mr. M 4. DaYan is like a Gan 11 M Pro Now I don't have many 3x3s to compare this to, but I would say it feels significantly better than any FTO I've tried before, and I haven't even set it up yet
Such a cool video!
Thanks, I did it very quickly and in one take😅 hopefully I can make the review even better with plenty of detail
I’m glad I didn’t buy the diansheng lol
@@sterben4958 real 😅 although the Diansheng is perfectly usable, and it might even be a better option for people with small hands
Could you pull a corner to test popping?
@@inseminggd9435 can do, in a few hours. I will say that I tried to pull an edge out and it was really hard, so I'm optimistic about the anti-pop measures in this FTO!
@@EddtheRexMan oh nice, thats always good to hear Im also pretty optimistic about it cause from what you said it was really loose (way over the possible range for the diansheng) and you still didnt get a pop, so that system has to be pretty good
I hope FTO becomes a WCA event. Imagine the rocket fast rate of improvement of both solvers and hardware...
@@matejgrim the improvement following the Diansheng was already incredibly fast, I can't even imagine what it would be like if FTO got added
thank you so much for the first impressions 🎉❤ can't wait for my dayan fto to break all the records 😉
@@ihorsukhovatenko I am sweating bullets At this point I just want to be the first European to break sub20, then I'll happily watch you and Igor and Ekaterina demolish the records 💪
