Hey guys, its me CriticalCubing and today we are going to compare the latest budget
cubes on the market.
Warrior W from Qiyi and MF3s from MoFang JiaOshi Moyu.
Lets see which one performs better Price: Both of these cubes are budget cubes,
hence the price is quite low when compared to something like a Valk3.
Both of these cubes cost 4$ which is on the lower end of the price spectrum.
This round is a tie as both the cubes cost the same.
Size and Weight: The size of both of these cubes is same, which is 56mm which is practically
the new standard 3x3 size.
However, they do not weight the same.
The MF3s weighs 79g whereas the Warrior W weighs 81g.
Not that huge difference in weight and practically while solving you don't feel a difference.
This round is again a tie as they have the same size, and weigh similarly.
Feel and Turning: Here is where things start to get different.
The Feel of the MF3s is kinda cheap and it has this cheap plastic feeling.
Its kind of airy, hard, clacky and loud.
It reminds me of the knockoff cubes from past like the formula cube, which used cheaper
plastic and had a similar feeling.
It also feels similar to the Guanlong kind of.
The Warrior W on the other hand feels a bit more premium than the MF3 and feels softer,
smoother, quiter feel to it.
The plastic on it is of higher quality and it feels quite smooth while turning.
The MF3 also has this gliding feel that is similar of the Guansu, but the Warrior W doesn't
have this gliding feel.
However, the Warrior W kind of has this valk3 kind of turning, althought its not much.
The MF3 has lower resistance and turning the layer is much more easier on it, when compared
to the warrior w.
In this feel and turning category, the Warrior W definitely takes the cake, and wins this
round hands down.
It feels better, smoother and also turns better than the MF3.
Speed: There is a noticeable difference in their speed.
The MF3 is actually faster than the Warrior W and people who like fast cubes, will prefer
the MF3 over the Warrior W. If you want to spam TPS, go for the MF3s.
Corner Cutting: Corner Cutting isn't as good as some of the high priced speedcubes.
They both can do 45 degress for normal corner cutting, and 2/3 for reverse corner cutting.
This round is also a tie as their corner cutting is same and you don't feel any difference
while solving.
Stability: Stability has a lot of weightage for me as this segment either makes or breaks
a cube for me.
Both of these cubes have problems with stability when you compare them to higher end cubes,
but the MF3 is actually more unstable and you can see the difference while you are solving
also.
The main thing that I didn't like about MF3 was that sometimes it catches on the middle
center piece and locks up there.
You don't see this hapening on the Warrior W. The Warrior W also has small catches and
locks here and there but its nothing significant.
Overall, in this stability round, the Warrior is a bit more stable than the MF3 and as a
reason the winner of this round.
Locking,popping and corner twisting: Lockups on both of these cubes is similar, however
the MF3 sometimes catches on the center piece and gives you this weird pause, which doesn't
happen on the Warrior W. Otherwise, locking is similar on both of these cubes.
Popping on both of these cubes can happen on looser tensions, but I have not experienced
any, hence this round is a tie.
Corner Twisting.
The Warrior W uses the squared off corner design which helps prevent corner twisting,
and it works brilliantly.
I have not experienced any corner twists on the Warrior W. The MF3 uses the rounded off
corner design which may give you corner twists sometimes.
M Slices: M Slices on both of these are quite bad and I didn't like it on either of them.
They are both baddddd Now that I have said all this, the original
question still remains unanswered "Which is better?".
The Warrior W for me, performs better than the MoFang JiaOshi 3x3.
Its overall more stable, has better feel to it, turns well, gives lesser corner twists,
locksup less and overall my solves flow better on the Warrior W, than on the MF3s.
Also, if given an option to choose a main between these two cubes, I will choose the
Warrior as my main, over the MF3s.
In Today's cube comparison, the Qiyi Warrior W cube is crowned the winner for overall performing
better, and the MF3s loses by a small margin.
Before deciding on which one to buy, try it out at a comp and form your own opinions instead
of listening to me.
That's it for this video, I hope you liked it.
Give this video a like and I'll see you on my next one.
Take care guys, bye.
