2014 Worlds Results

By MajorJuggler, in X-Wing

Is it me or they completely forgot that Whisper was equipped with a Rebel captive?

Paul never shot at her until all the other Ties were gone.

Yes, but then when he started shooting her, I don't recall seeing any stress landing on the table... I might be wrong, and maybe it wouldn't have made a difference. But still...

Aye there was for the first attack. Didn't see for the second though

Nice game guys and congrats on the win Paul!

I guess this means were getting a Still On Target card next wave

Now the long and arduous process of compiling statistics begins! ;)

And they will all be out of date as soon as Wave 5 hits! :D

You have endless patience MJ. And endless dedication.

Thanks for maintaining the thread, my internet stinks and I ran out of data so streaming coverage was out. so it was like listening to a sports broadcast on an old radio. :)

This is the meme you're looking for...

Question for Paul:

Do you know which Tala it was?

I would keep that dude preserved forever.

So Fat Han won it all? That is EXTREMELY disappointing. That means turrets will probably increase in use now as everyone who hasn't used then yet will want to copy the success.

Well, to be fair they'd increase in use anyway as Wave 5 is ALL TURRETS...

Does anybody know the brand of laser Paul is using?

It is from Harbor Freight. Things run for like 5.99 or something. Don't think they ship them though, think you have to be able to buy one in store. Could be wrong, I don't remember 100%.

Wouldn't you say a tala is a mid range pilot skill at 4 ?

Most people would get rolled if they tried that build. You need to watch the match to see it, but the guy can really fly.

If I had to put a label, yes. In wave 4 mid probably extends from PS3 to PS8. In wave 5 high PS should start at 7 or 8, courtesy of Dash.

Either way, I will have the full PS breakdown eventually.

Army Painter now do a laser line tool, appropriately called TARGETLOCK: Here you go

If by fly you mean move little 1"x1" cardboard chits that only ever move on a 2D surface, then yes, that man can fly!

Didn't the Z's do most of the damage? Like others had said, the "Fat" part didn't come into play at all. Morgan got juked into the asteroid field and then ripped apart.

Congrats to Paul. Amazing feat. Congrats to everyone who made Top 8, actually.

The website says it's only available in store: http://www.harborfreight.com/laser-marker-93242.html

Lucky for me there's a Harbor Freight right down the street from my FLGS (which is actually a 30 mile drive so while it is very F and definitely a GS it isn't particularly L).

I'm probably going to have to do a writeup at some point, but this tournament was the time of my life. It was so much fun and I put faces to so many of you on the forums. Had a spectacular time and played what I have consider to be the greatest game of xwing I've ever been involved in against Heaver in the round of 8. Glad to see him win it all.

Such a great time.

I'd just like to point out that Howlrunner has been in the top two squads of all three world championships. (For that matter, so has Academy Pilot.)

Clearly, she is OP. Needs to banned...

I am also really, I don't have a word for it really, I'll go with 'upset' I guess, that a Fat Han and Broken Phantom are both top dogs in this event. I am really intrigued though that the final round this year and last were both naturally Imps v. Rebs. So big heart to FFG for such awesome game balance between factions(unless theres something going on I don't know about lol). And the Good guys won too so yay! :)

Clearly, she is OP. Needs to banned...

On the other hand, she's only been in the winning squad one of those three times. =P

But yeah. Howlrunner should be banned from tournaments along with banning C-3PO from being used on YT-1300s.

Probably why a Third Faction is being brought in. Best way to upset the balance really.

To be fair, getting rid of Howlrunner would open up a swath of design options for Imperials that are currently limited by her. As a purely Imperial player (until S&V hits), I am all for this.
