Competition Update: I spent a few more days practicing and did way better than expected with a 1:01.44 (un)official average! Check out the video here: ruclips.net/video/mNnRPOyYSUI/видео.html
So i recently got into fto speedsolving, and i'm averaging around sub 1:10 and I did a small mod to the diansheng that in my opinion made it 500% better. You can take off the caps of the corners and you can see the magnets on the side. If you take some 3x2 mm magnets/whatever size you have, and put them on top of the normal magnets it makes the cube feel more stable and if also feels more pop resistant and lets you turn faster without having to worry about lockups.
Here's a list of some of the icosahedral twisty puzzles that have been made: - Icosaix - Radiolarian (1) - Radiolarian (2) - Radio Canon - Radio 3 - Eitan's Star - Eitan's Nebula - Cat's Cradle (Radiolarian 5) - Radio Web - Radio Jewel - Radio Jam - Radio Crystal - Radio Star - Radio Nebula - Radio Gem - Radio Fathom - Radio Chop - Tutt's Icosaminx - Regular Astrominx - Astrominx - Icosamate - Master Icosamate - Elite Icosamate - Royal Icosamate - Icosahedral Megaminx - Icosahedral Kilominx - Clover Icosahedron D1 - Greenhill's Icosahedron - Icoctahedron (designed by Raphael) - Crazy Radiolarian - FTO Icosahedron - Ivy Icosaeder
Great to see you finally make a video on the diansheng. It is seriously a game changer. I went from averaging adound 38 seconds with the 3d printed rexto to becoming sub 20 on the diansheng, which makes me 4th in the world. I love seeing the hype around this event and seeing how quickly the community is growing. If we can keep this up, the chances that it becomes official skyrockets. #FTOforWCA
I picked one up while I was in Guangzhou recently. Probably the hardest twisty puzzle I've managed to solve without consulting a guide. The light turning made coming up with longer algs (and performing them repeatedly quickly) much easier.
@@Verlisify all the other Pokemon RUclipsrs that did cover the dark topics of the Pokemon Teraleak aren't bad actor coppa violators that I bought out by the Pokemon company to sell more plushies, they are just at least better than you as you are delusional and think you are the best, and I think I am extremely Petty for saying all of this on an unrelated video of you just enjoying Rubik's cubes.
1:09 Regarding the color scheme, you can switch around the edge and corner caps to your preferred one, but it takes some effort and tools to do it. Believe me, it's pain as I separated the colored parts with a small flathead screwdriver and caused wounds on my fingertips. But it's worth it once you put it back together.
8:39 Well thankfully you do have a stickered RexTO, so switching your color scheme won't be too tough, thankfully I thought ahead when ordering my custom stickerless RexTO, and asked to get the diangsheng color scheme on it so I could get a head start on getting used to the color scheme
@@Z3Cubing yeah indeed, I do believe that most people will commit to this Color Scheme as it'll be considered the more "common" color scheme and it's pretty tough to swap around caps in the Diansheng FTO
Regarding the last step, it's easy to forget the alg or to be inefficient building triples - I strongly recommend looking up 2 look TCP which makes the last phase easier; and I have a video on my channel showing how you can solve the very last step using 3x3 OLL algs. This is helpful because you can stop practicing for a bit yet not forget how to solve.
I love FTO, with the diansheng I went from being pretty good on my rexTO (about low 30) to top 10 in the world (in 2/4 categories), the community is also super wholesome and we love developing new algs and techniques every day and it's pretty fun
Hello! Love the channel! Is there any chance you could do a review of the other diansheng big cubes? Your review of the 10x10 was super helpful and while I'm definitely tempted by their higher order cubes, they get quite pricey and i don't want to spend the money if just don't perform well
This puzzle is such a game changer! I previously only had the *old* Diansheng FTO from many years ago, which is similar to the LanLan, and my PB on that puzzle was 1:41 Two weeks with the new Diansheng, and I have a 45 second PB and nearly have my Ao100 under one minute
There’s mostly shape mods of 3x3s that have the corners cut, however this clover puzzle is a good one ruclips.net/video/l-wQxTiKBvk/видео.htmlsi=lrKvGc14noNXheRa
FTO just in my opinion is kinda an underwhelming name compared to like cube, pyraminx, megaminx etc. just in my opinion, I'm completely fine with it but only *IF* i were to name it it would be like "protominx" referring to particles. it's not like i don't like the name i'm just saying it could be better?(plz no bully in replies)
I'm not sure if it can be named as anything-minx, since that has been reserved for every variations of megaminx. I can see how Octaminx could be an exception, like pyraminx, but then those three would have really similar sounding names which would make them appear like they're the same kind of puzzle (like 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, etc), even though that's clearly not the case
What's not to understand? It's very unique, is a platonic solid, has good hardware now, and so many people are getting into it. Not to mention how fun it is and how high the chances seem to be for it to be the next official wca event. Whether you yourself have joined the hype train, the train will continue to chug along
Thanks for making this, good to see people havig fun with the Diansheng! If you wanted some pointers on your next steps in advancing, I will shamelessly plug my beginners advice video: ruclips.net/video/nIc2ws-XPfE/видео.htmlsi=YcV1IPag6uL3y7wW

“Me slow at poke cube” and this one is more poke
Nah, pyraminx is definitely pokier.
@@Z3Cubing how about a 3x3 covered in push pins?
@@Z3Cubing ok. But here is a true statement: “We are both slow at Poke cube”. I do average a bit slower than you
Now he’s gonna mod the diansheng FTO into a top of the line 3x3

Moments like 6:58 make me remember that he's a person and not just a pair of floating hands
“YUM”
This puzzle is such a game changer! I previously only had the *old* Diansheng FTO from many years ago, which is similar to the LanLan, and my PB on that puzzle was 1:41

I'm still waiting for a Face Turning Icosahedron
It's already a thing. It's called the icosaix but unfortunately it's not sold anymore in thecubicle

since FTO seems to be the main trend, try doing a FTO solve but you may only make 1 move per day

There’s mostly shape mods of 3x3s that have the corners cut, however this clover puzzle is a good one ruclips.net/video/l-wQxTiKBvk/видео.htmlsi=lrKvGc14noNXheRa

My brain being used to the pyraminx which has smaller dihedral angles feel weird looking at those corners

the pizza looks sooooooooooooooooo good! lol🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
Hey Zalex 3alker, you should make a video about the GAN 356 I Carry 2!
The Face Turning Octahedron needs to be a WCA event
Fr even though I don't have one🤣🤣it's just too expensive
#ftoforwca
Maybe you should try making force FTO
please make a fto barrel
i also have a few other ideas to
"the colors all look great with the notable exception of gray, ew"
💀
They could’ve at least chose a sort of bright pink or cyan though, don’t you agree?
Maybe black
How about black like on square 1
FTO just in my opinion is kinda an underwhelming name compared to like cube, pyraminx, megaminx etc. just in my opinion, I'm completely fine with it but only *IF* i were to name it it would be like "protominx" referring to particles. it's not like i don't like the name i'm just saying it could be better?(plz no bully in replies)
Honestly a good point. We don’t call megaminxes “FTDs” so I think a minx name would be okay (although we are very used to saying fto now)
Considering everything, it’s likely it would be named like octaminx or something like that
I'm not sure if it can be named as anything-minx, since that has been reserved for every variations of megaminx. I can see how Octaminx could be an exception, like pyraminx, but then those three would have really similar sounding names which would make them appear like they're the same kind of puzzle (like 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, etc), even though that's clearly not the case
Bro you have gotten me in to rubix cubes I have a mirror cube coming tomorrow
wow!
When force FTO's?
I average 1:05, never got faster because it keeps popping on me.
It'll definitely do that if you have the tensions ever so slightly too loose. :/
@@Z3Cubing I tightened the screws and put DNM, and it's so GOOD! I'm averaging around 45 now after lots of practice.
