I wouldn’t be surprised that if cubing did die, Tsukasa will be there to resurrect it
This channel is the only reason I use youtube.....These videos just keep on getting better and better, Nice work Tsukasa. You definitely deserve 1 Million Subs. I am 100% sure that this is one of the best cubing channels on youtube, this is probably the first channel that goes in depth about cubing and you do a lot of research before publishing a video, its always exciting to see a new TriCubing Video - Rishi D
Thank you Rishi! I appreciate it a ton 🙏
facts
I remember when you were just a commenter on my first cubing vid, now you’re this amazing content creator. It is such a pleasure to see you come this far. I’m excited for the vid!😊
Thank you so much Jeremy! It's been such a pleasure knowing you. I can't believe I've come this far too.
No more records? That’s it, add FTO
the points in this video are really valid, congrats
like you said, they are so many other youcubers now so it's not valid to say that content about it is dying
like your channel and that stcube guy is doing really well, and hesacuber is really underrated with his storytelling & editing
Haha youcubers
This was a great video, I think you covered this topic really well. We all just need to move on, things are going to be different in the future from what they were in the past, the stats you showed prove that cubing is growing more than it ever has and we just need to make the most of it right now
I learned how to cube in 2016 but I never took it serious and eventually put the hobby away. Fast forward to late 2022 when I had to have surgery and was off work for about a month. To pass the time I pulled the old cubes out again and it was the best decision ever. In the last 1 1/3 years I've been having a blast. I know I will never be able to get the world record in any event but setting a goal and improving to work towards it is enough for me. I'm about 1 second away from my goal of sub 20 ao5 and 1/2 second from sub 15 single. That's where the fun is.
If you do get tired of cubing consider looking at other events. SQ1 looks intimidating but honestly that was the most fun event to learn. Clock is also great. Learning 7 simal was a struggle but now I'm about 1/2 second away from possibly getting state record. I've really enjoyed learning every event and it really helps keep things fresh and interesting.
you better believe i'm waiting the 33 hours
Very well said! It’s a total misconception that cubing is dying. There are more and more people discovering the cubing community every year and it’s great to see! Twistypuzzles in general have so many avenues beyond simply competing and thats not going away anytime soon.
Even if some big channels stop uploading.. Or disappear 👀
I remember watching ur “All time best solve in my first competition” when u only had 400 subs. I’ve watched all ur vids since! Tsukasa, thank you for summarizing all the drama, and just everything about cubing.
Thank you so much for making this video, I really wanted this topic to be made, as UK Cubers videos really made cubing shown in a bad way. Your packaging, and the way you talk about topics is phenomenal, super entertaining. Your videos are out of this world, and you have grown an insane amount, from the time I first found you channel. Congrats, and thank you for making this video!
your videos have improved so much over time lmao. keep it up bro
I remember when I stumbled upon you on the comments of one of my posts and realized you were Lucas's friend haha
Thanks a lot man, really appreciate it 🙏
As someone who recently joined the cubing community, I’ve always seen it as still relatively small, so like how can a community not yet at its peak die?
cool video, i didnt know people think cubing is dying.i am kinda new to this hobby, ive known how to solve the cube for 10+ years, but thanks to my local CzechoSlovak speedcubing comunity i really got into this hobby a year ago, ive see a few NRs get broken and i made many new friends and i love training and breaking my own pbs and prs. i cannot imagine this hobby dying when all i see is this hobby growing. when i go to a competition and help out there, i see many kids that are around 10 years old with their parents and they are all having a good time and cheering them and supporting them.
P.S. i forgot where i was going with this message
I've been thinking about this a lot lately
I thought to myself why am I even doing this?
And this video answered all my questions
Thanks :)
Im wishing u get a million subs becuase the way your already attracting people for videos is crazy,i cant even do what u do❤
Why is this showing 'uploaded 1 hrs ago' though I saw this yesterday and there are some comments from 1 day ago????
it was a primere
I've been pushing for a Maltese Cube competition. There's a LOT of room for future optimization in that.
I am a WCA delegate in brazil, with over 10 years of competitions and cubing experience.
Most of the changes talked during the video were changes that i saw in the sport and scenario since the introduction of the Dayan Guhong back in 2010 and the ascension of Feliks, which dominated almost every cubing category in WCA for almost 5 years.
I see that cubing is growing faster and faster, and getting stronger and even more durable. The speedcubing is now a sport, with movements around the world to be recognized as one, I think cubing is here for stay, and the next step is to see speedcubing as an sport, with its own legends and stories.
We might be reaching the edge of the world records, but still, we hadn't any three times world champion in the WCA. I see the sport getting even more competitive, recieving more and more competitiors, if that means a dying community, well... maybe during the type A cubes were the time this community were alive the most.
Absolutely love this video
I watched the UK Cuber videos about why cubing is dying, and I noticed he had a huge problem with his video, making assumptions that had no evidence to back it up. Like he was talking about the tv3 being the last revolutionary cube and how it did crazy well in sales and no cube afterwards has been able to compare. And he didn't have any metrics to back it up, just a pure assumption. Even when he talked about youcubing and how youcubers stopped uploading, because they're not uploading no one will watch their content. But I looked up statistics, and still found those channels to be growing quite quickly.
One month ago (Right after UK Cuber uploaded the second video), I looked up these stats:
SoupTimmy: gained almost 2 million subs in 1 year (double his sub count)
Jperm: ~250k subs in 1 year, over 100 mil views in 1 year
Arisandra Soo: gained ~225k subs in 1 month (originally had ~25k)
Cubehead: gained: gained ~400 k subs in 1 year with ~ 225 million views in 1 year
Tingman: gained ~200k subs in 1 year, with ~ 130 million views in 1 year
cuberzn: ~100k subs in 1 year, 46 million views in 1 year (more than double his views from before)
cuberzn short: ~197k subs in 1 year, 111 mils in 1 year
TheCubicle: steady 50k growth in 1 year, 20 mil views in 1 year
(Used social blade + math for stats)
And he was like but most of these channels don't upload anymore, these new subs will be disappointed by lack of new content. He doesn't realize to any new sub, every video can be considered "new content" as they've never seen the video before.
Overall, I think this video was a good video. Especially love how you mention to not harass UKCuber or anyone who believes cubing is dying. Absolutely agree, it wouldn't do any good.
tsukasa 5x5 sub-1 ao5 when
(oh yeah great video too❤)
next month mark my words
BABE WAKE UP NEW TRICYCLE VIDEO JUST DROPPED 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣
RAHHHHH 🗣🗣🗣🗣
Even if there’s a 2 second average, I think people will keep trying until there’s a sub 1 or something
This is a wonderful video and it really shows a very positive view of this topic😊
I just wish WCA can work with manufacturers to resolve the stupid printed logo ban for blindfolded events. RIP my UV-coated cubes. And remove the non-twisty puzzle (Clock) from the events. RIP feetsolving.
You’re honestly such an underrated creator and you deserve more subscribers
I watched a video of ShortCat's not watching TriCubing's video, and when I heard his voice I immidiatly recognized the voice as jperm's. I had no idea that other people had caught this and I am glad others agree, but I feel bad for contributing to the annoyence. Sorry Jperm.
What do you use to edit your videos ? Great work
I use FCPX
Man the quality of your videos are insane! I’ve been watching you since you had less subs than me 😂
Cubing is currently more alive than it had ever been, some cracked people pushing the limit further is a sign of getting into a new era not an event dying
I definitely wouldn’t say it’s dying, there are more comps than ever before
love the video bro, good job
Awesome vid!
You make some excellent points and I couldn‘t agree more that cubing isn‘t nowhere near dead. Imo cubing is more alive than ever and still the best hobby (not biased at all 😝).
Someone thinks cubing is dying? Hi, I just got my first cube for Christmas. I have picked up three more, technically four. I'm at the stage I could start learning OLL/PLL algs, but I'm taking my time with that because I think mastering fingertricks is a better use of my time. That alone is cutting my times by 30s. I don't expect to be a competitive solver, but I have gotten MANY hours of enjoyment out of it, and I expect I'll have many more.
Bro really took a shower mid-video
Every new era comes with a dominator. I believe Yiheng's domination is only the start of this new era and there are more to look foward to in the future
w thumbnail it has a lot of fire 🔥and some 🔥oh and theres some burning thing on the thmbnail i think its 🔥
It won't ever die, and if it does die, someone will undie it.
I loved this video! Made me sub and the format of this is video was amazing. The humor was also pretty funny. Also, wHY iS UkCubErs GaN sO dRY?!?!
all it takes is a new cube for me to do a million more solves....
Great vid
Very well said
Cubing is growing very fast
what I have seen in the cubing community in Bangladesh, is many people take cubing as a waste of time. many of my friends quit thinking that cubing is just dumb and will eventually fade or collapse as a sport/hobby.
Yo, if u could make a cubing UA-cam guide, like how to make a channel and what equipment you need for a cubing themed one, maybe more cubes will join the community and UKCuber can be proven wrong. Pls consider my idea,thx.
11:06 and then ther's me, who going to add one to that number in a couple days XD
Chefs kiss
True.
i just joined cubing 4 weeks ago and my best is already 35 seconds and 40+ secs average
7:43 must have been awkward to record 🥲
Someone understands 😭🙏
@@TriCubing even i felt awkward being stared at through a screen
What do you average on 3x3?
I average sub10.
@@TriCubing Cool. I'm the same age and started at nearly the exact same time as you! How did you start to consistently average sub-10? I've had only 1 sub-10 single that happened about a week ago.
And I just saw a short of you in Chase Center. I'm a Dubs fan too😂.
Is cfop dying? I think we are hiting the limit of how fast we can get with cfop!
Who said it was
some guy that took a break from cubing with ok editing so some people believed him
It’s time to get sponsored tricubing, so what cubing sponsor would you like?
I would say speedcubeshop because that's where I've gotten my cubes from in my entire cubing career basically.
A lot of people would disagree though
I should probably go take a shower 😂
Did u say cubing is a hobby cubing is a sport and thats a fact
who said cubing is dying nevermind
