i had both cube and the reason i say HAD is because they both broke, the screw like plastic holding the tornado together snaped and sometimes the core stem will also snap. the gan 12 also broke in a way that is too difficult to explain lol
I have both, I got cube heads deluxe v2 and I gave it to a friend, but have a pioneer also, I have a 12 setup myself, that I angstromed up, I like the 12 more and it has been my main for almost a year
I have both, and while the GAN 12 is growing on me the more I use it, I still prefer the tornado. The tornado feels even more premium and the turns are buttery smooth once you’ve lubed it properly. The GAN 12 has much better auto-alignment so I’ll give it that. They both corner cut okay, but not as good as Moyu’s recent cubes. In general, you can’t go wrong with either. If I got used to them I could easily main either one, though for now I’ll be sticking with the super weilong 20 magnet or wrm v9 20 magnet edition.
Theyre both excellent cubes. Agreed, it depends on what you want as to which will suit you better but with setup tailored to you, rather than someone else, either will get you fantastic times
It is interesting that the Gan 12 continues to be used by so many cubers, I think Gan have just made mistakes with edge magnets and all the other extras, the simple ball core with just corner-core magnets works better.
Yeah, it seems like they chose the wrong direction with the 'innovation' they took. I hope that they begin to understand what cubers actually want with their next cubes.
at moment 1:42 in this video u solve the green-orange pair in such a bad way! u could just do a U' to put the pair in the back the do R U' R' U R U R' u also showed that wierd f2l clip on the time 3:34
Yeah he has the flagship edition instead of pioneer, but they’re very similar (only differences being springs vs maglev). Lots of pro speedcubers say they even prefer the springs instead of maglev on this occasion, because for them the pioneer is a bit too fast and therefore less controllable. I have the UV coated pioneer though and in my opinion it’s perfect. But if anyone’s reading this, you can save yourself a bit of money and just get the flagship, following Max’s advice.
I must be in the minority of cubers then. I actually really like gan's feather weights. I have a bunch of other moyus, but even though my gan 11 has subpar performance compared to the rest, i still use it because its light
Interesting. Personally I feel like the light weight contributes massively to a lack of control (especially when the cube is set up to be more corner-cutting orientated). Would love to here what you think!
@@UK_Cuber I've actually owned the 12. I feel the lack of control stems more from other factors than weight. As for me, a heavy but fast cube has more monentum, leading to overshoots as the magnets can't stop the spinning. But for gancubes, its a combo of antistick pattern, smooth plastic, maglev, and non clicky magnets that make it overshoot a lot. And ofc, your vids are amazing bruv. Keep it up
Nice, clear video! I used the GAN 11 M Duo for a while but I still love and main the Tornado v3 Flagship. The only GANs I use in comps are the 251 M Pro 2x2 and the Enhanced Skewb.
