2016 Nationals Results

By MajorJuggler, in X-Wing

Unfortunately I am not there but have a few people reporting/observing for me. Don't have any actual data but one guy is reporting the most commonly seen list is Dengaroo (big surprise there.... Not).

And in case you didn't already know this, the initial cut is too 24 plus 8... Meaning the next 8 after 24th place will also get in if they have the same amount of tournament points as 24th.

Really expected there to be at least SOME data about the lists flown today by now. Can anybody give a general breakdown of the lists that finished 6-0 today? Anybody at all??

Also would like to hear top lists. All i found is final standings here:

Guessing 1st is Dengaroo, 2nd Ghost list, 3rd Palp Aces... based on seeing like 2 pictures of top tables.

Give us your lists Top 10 Players!

I finished 6th place.

Dengar

-Lone wolf

-Punishing One

-Plasma Torps

-Glitterstem

-Countermeasures

-Zuckuss

-Overclocked R4

Manaroo

-PTL

-Rec spec

-R5P8

-engine

I would wager that Nathan Eide is running Corran, Biggs, and Wes. It says he is running Rebels, and after doing so well with Corran at Worlds, I think he went back to him with some help to keep him alive.

I disagree, that's what I think his list is from this screenshot:

List: http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v4!s!75:18,36,-1,3:-1:3:;4:-1,77:-1:20:;160:27,-1,33:-1:-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron

Nathan's List (100)

Corran Horn — E-Wing 35

Push the Limit 3

Fire-Control System 2

R2-D2 4

Engine Upgrade 4

Ship Total: 48

Biggs Darklighter — X-Wing 25

R4-D6 1

Integrated Astromech 0

Ship Total: 26

Sabine Wren — Attack Shuttle 21

Veteran Instincts 1

Chewbacca 4

Ship Total: 26

Pretty interesting to see the Attack Shuttle built minimalistic, but still well here.

I think Nathan is running Wedge, Corran, Biggs.

Heaver is running Corran, Wes, Biggs in 15th place at 4-2

Running Corran without an initiative bid in this OL meta gives me heartburn.

check my linked picture, you can clearly see an attack shuttle.

I stand corrected, but getting 2 out of 3 ships based on a player name and faction on a list ain't bad ;) I didn't know there were all the pics and list screenshots around, but I should have figured that to be the case since this is Nationals.

sounds like you need some Wes-o bismol

Yea. But Biggs and Corran already telegraph your movement so bad. Adding in Wes means you may as well play dials-up. Not my style.

To be fair, being at range 1 of each does not necessarily mean formation flying. It just so happens to be the easiest way to pull that off, particularly if you have ships that can't reposition after moving.

Ugh. I was planning on running this list competitively. He talked about it on a Podcast a few weeks back so I went and bought the stuff I didn't have. If PHeaver can't do it, I certainly can't...

It works nicely, but it's certainly not a silver bullet. Besides, better run Corran before the slicers come, otherwise even the VI version will be risking its life anytime Corran tries to k-turn.

What's the gencon cut? top 16?

EDIT: it seems to be top 48 64

Edited by Sunitsa

64 will play Saturday

Are the top lists posted anywhere?

Nope. They were using TOME, so only way we get lists is if someone at the event who took down the info themselves posts it.

Can anyone give an idea of the squad archetypes they see?

Also, what are these Corran Wes Biggs builds?

X-Wing Michigan looks well represented in the current standings; way to go guys!

Now what's everyone flying?

Also, what are these Corran Wes Biggs builds?

It's a list made famous by Dan Hars, by myself I've been playing it for the whole summer winning a regional and reaching top 8 at another one and at the Kashyyk open.

It's very strong

Corran with VI, fcs, R2D2.

Wes with VI, R3A2, Integrated.

Biggs with R4D6, integrated.
