That was Robert Tapp running 7 scum Z-95 with feedback arrays.

I prefer "Rob" but thanks for the assist! That was a tough tourney, going as late as it did on a Sunday. I cut out without finishing my last game and left at 9 pm.

Top 4 at Game Matrix:

Richard (3xBlue w/Accuracy Corrector; Gold w/R3A2, Ion, BTL-A4)

Blair (Jake Farrell w/PtL, VI, Chardaan, AutoT; 2xBlue w/FCS; 2x Bandit)

Kyle (Blue w/E2, Tactician, Ion; Gold w/ion; Gold w/R3A2, Ion, BTL-A4; 2x Bandit)

and a nice fellow whose name I didn't get with a Scum Zwarm. ???

(See below)

Look at that beautiful lack of turrets in the top 4!

To be fair, I had one (ion) turret....

Also a beautiful lack of phantoms!

Yeah there was only one phantom at that whole event. Unfortunately over half (including my list) seemed to be rebel control lists. Time to come up with something new!

The easiest counter to Rebel Control has usually been the TIE Swarm. But the Swarm suffers against Phantoms, who suffers against turrets, who suffers against IG88 and Interceptors, who suffers against Control builds....

This meta breaks my brain, and I love it.

haha we only had 2 imperial players at the event.

Yeah I'm not even thinking about counters to rebel control, I just don't like being on the bandwagon. It's also not terribly fun for opponents to play against so that's a bit of a turn off. I am glad that it killed 2 of the pillars though!

As somebody who's been trying to make Rebel Control work since wave 2, I'm thrilled to see it (and me too, perhaps) finally make it into contention. Besides, its great to have 4-5 ship rebels back on the board with iconic movie era ships.

Tactician plus E-2 modification really helps. I still contend that the B-wing didn't need that modification.

Not a whole lot of love for the X-wing. They should up a bit, but not much.

The X-Wings were definitely not out in force, the ship needs a boost. I'm not sure how they'd do it as it would basically be the 4th X-Wing expansion but it's clearly outclassed by Z-95's and B-wings in terms of point value. The named pilots are all great, the one guy I played who ran X-Wings had Tarn with R7 and Biggs, they're both fun as hell but the ship on the whole is just overpriced.

Thanks to Jo Jo and everyone else who contributed to the thread, it was a great store championship season, great sportsmanship from everyone I faced and I hope to see you all at Regionals, let's bring it home for the Sound.

If anything, the problem for the X-Wing is the fact that the named pilots are still really good. Maybe just something that would reduce the cost of modifications for the ship? Would give Wedge or Luke cheaper access to Engine Upgrades, or Biggs a cheaper Hull/Shield upgrade. The ship is close, but it's just a little fragile in this new four attack dice/automatic damage world the game is now living in. Two green dice and five HP doesn't really give you much.

Best of luck to everyone going to Regionals. I look forward to reading your battle reports!

Thought this had made its way onto the front page, but since no-one has posted it all yet:

Fantasium top 4 was: #1 Decimator (RAC I believe) and Super Fel, #2 Decimator, Super Fel and Academy Tie, # 3 "Zen Attack" 3 BTL gold Y's with Ion, 1 with stress bot, 2 with green move bots, Blue B with Ion Cannon. #4 "Black Eclipse" 3 star vipers and Torkul Mux with Ion Cannon Turret.

Glad this got posted in the SC results thread, added all results to my site, thanks for collecting them!
