31.62 avg5 with Dayan V2 Megaminx (review in description) Nicolas Naing 2021-02-01 | (30.90), 31.73, 31.51, 31.61, (33.21)previous video set to no comments, don't know why, if you had a question on that video send a comment hereI can get good times with this mega (set PB avg50), but I find that the lighter weight requires me to focuson my solves more since I am more used to heavier cubes. For now I plan to stick to the YuHu as the transition to that puzzle was easierAside from personal preference, I think that this is a good puzzle as it is fast while being stable. It has a similar light weight to the GAN, but has an easier core system to lubricate, which I prefer. This puzzle has a slightly sculpted design instead of ridges. I don't think it made too much of a difference (reminded me of the GAN dimples which did not change much) but I have not had any grip issues with the puzzleIf you want to get a new mega, I would recommend going with a YuHu as it is cheaper and can achieve the same times from my experience. I would normally tell you to try both at a comp since the two megas feel different, but that is not feasible at the moment with the lack of comps unfortunatelyspeedcubeshop.com/collections/wca-puzzles/products/dayan-megaminx-v2-magneticSponsored by SpeedCubeShop: speedcubeshop.com

1:31.88 Cosmic MGC 6x6 Solve - (review in description) Nicolas Naing 2022-04-10 | I have done around 150 solves on this puzzle and it has broken in very well, just like the Cosmic Valk5. I have made no changes to this puzzle at this point, but the only change that I may make is tightening the sides a little bit since sometimes the puzzle feels flimsy. However, I may not end up doing this since none of the individual sides feel loose, so this flimsy feeling could be from my turningLink for puzzle: speedcubeshop.com/collections/cosmic-collection/products/cosmic-mgc-magnetic-6x6?_pos=2&_fid=075463c1e&_ss=c&variant=31796130021489Sponsored by SpeedCubeShop: speedcubeshop.comGet 5% off your order with the code MEGAMAN
Cosmic Valk5 Solves and Review Nicolas Naing 2022-03-20 | 51.38, 51.11, 50.46So far I have done around 200 solves on this puzzle and it has broken in very well. The only change that I have made is loosening all of the sides a little bit. The only issue that I have with it is that my previous Valk5 was faster. However, this puzzle has a less flimsy feel while still being fast enough, which was a problem with my previous 5x5 despite the speed. In addition, I can add Stardust to this puzzle to make it faster, which should remove the advantage that my previous 5x5 had.

31.87 avg5 with YuHu V2 Magnetic Megaminx (review in description) Nicolas Naing 2021-01-27 | 32.30, (30.49), (36.63), 32.11, 31.20I like the speed of this puzzle as it is much faster than my current Galaxy V2 and Galaxy V2s out of the box. It took me a bit of time to get used to the speed and larger size, but it was worth it in the end as I don't think I can achieve the YuHu's speed on the Galaxy without loosening it way too much. The ridges feel different to the sculpted design of the Galaxy, but they feels similar to ridges on past puzzles like the Pearl/Aohun/Dayan V1, so if you have used one of those megas in the past, the transition shouldn't be too difficultSo far I have not had any issues with the puzzle and would recommend it to anyone interested in Megaminx as it is a magnetic megaminx for the low price of $12.95I still have work to do on the Dayan V2 so I do not know if this will be my main, but I definitely prefer this over my Galaxy V2Puzzle available here: speedcubeshop.com/collections/wca-puzzles/products/yj-yuhu-v2-magnetic-megaminx, use the code MEGAMAN to get a 5% discountSponsored by SpeedCubeShop: speedcubeshop.com
