blame pheaver: TCA Meta breakout

By sozin, in X-Wing

Paul idly conjectured: "One thing that might be useful for people going to worlds: make a post on the forums that groups log files by list archetype from all our weeks. Like, 'here are some logs of 4 TLT lists in action. And some Fel + Palpatine lists. And some Brobots...', etc."

So I did it. More work than I thought it would be, and fodder for future ListJuggler features.

The below is a breakout, by list archtype, of rounds 1-9 of our Vassal based Team Covenant Aces Season Two. Links are to the vassal game log. The google doc has the lists displayed as comments, so if you want to browse the lists, I recommend heading over to the Google doc instead.

Rebel Two Ship

Imperial Two Ship


Scum Two Ship

Brobots


Robot + Other

Imperial Three Ship


Imperial Palpmobile

Rebel Three Ship

Ace + Double TLT


Triple TLT + Other


Quad TLT

Robot + Support

Ace + Triple Accuracy Corrected Tempests



Ace + Pancake


YV666 + Support


Imperial Four Ship

Rebel Four Ship

Scum Four Ship


Ace + Mini Swarm


Rebel Swarm


Imperial Swarm


Scum Swarm

Dang, browsing this list makes one appreciate just how fun the meta is right now! Awesome project.

Thank you for putting it together.

Okay, this is pretty sweet

But! It's incredibly difficult to read the blue font on they gray background. (You may not be using gray like I am--I prefer the original forum theme as its easier on my eyes.)

Seriously, the meta is so diverse now. Thanks for the upload. Of course, I had to peak at the list that mirrors my own first. :D

thanks for the feedback; I don't have the patience to go through and adjust all the links, so if you want to do something like:

Tempest + Yorr + Omega Ace + Carnor vs Jake + Warden TLT x2 | vlog

pm me and I'll send you the edit link :-)

Woohoo. Hopefully a few of those still die off (but are replaced by swarm) but looks pretty sweet.

Great resource, thank you!

How many of those lists have at least 2 TLT ships?

I count ~19?

Is "pheaver" pronounced like "fever"?

This here, ladies and gentlemen, is a proud example of a well-made game. Faction diversity, list viability, and an ever-growing, ever-changing metagame. I'm very happy to play this game!

Is "pheaver" pronounced like "fever"?

It's pronounced [worldchampion two years in a row].

So we've officially reached the point where lists are divided into 2x, 3x and 4x TLT?

If you want to ignore the other 17 rough archetypes listed here you could say it as bluntly, yes. Doesn't mean much, though, since archetypes are very detailed here.

Yeah, my archetypes are pretty fine grained in the report, but I did try to stick with ones that the community has been using for a while.

Is "pheaver" pronounced like "fever"?

Pronounced /ˈfi·vər/. Used in a sentance, it would be "I've got a pheaver, and the only prescription is more x-wing"

I appreciate the resource and meta breakdown. Good to see scum coming up.

Awesome. I will definitely be spending some time looking at this!

One IG-88B + Bossk list is under "BroBots", though.

Some really matches games in here.

Am I missing something or the google docs versions doesn't show any comments with the lists?
