WORLDS UPDATE THREAD

By nikk whyte, in X-Wing

Everything related to Star Wars has to be approved. Welcome to the world of licensing.

Ya I understand it don't worry. Just seems trivial considering none of the changes actually had anything inherently to do with Star Wars. What is Disney going to say? "Well, actually, it's not in line with the new canon for Deadeye to be small ship only..."

Just funny is all.

More like, "hmmm yup I don't understand any of this and nothing directly star wars related so APPROVED".

Exactly. The guy with that job has one of the best in the best in the world. "Hmm. Looks like Star Wars... Smells like Star Wars... Must be Star Wars! Approved!"

Texx is 0-2 as well.

I think they meant it's the 3rd round of swiss. But doesn't matter if you have aggros you can't get through them defenders until palp is dead and you pretty much trade palp for your 2 Y wings.

So... anyone else realize this is Paul's 2nd loss at Worlds in 4 years...

Paul just didn't bring a list that can last it seems.

Not the first time. Last year ze lost against Dash during Swiss

It's not a bad list but his worst match up is Palp Defenders. I think it's probly a 60/40 or 65/35 matchup. Everything else should be pretty good against.

Nah, it was a super big deal that he was undefeated last year.

latz and evade are guaranteed 2 damage cancel, which is about the par set by fat han and most rebel regenerators (if you count regen as damage cancel, which it is except it generates a crapton more value if they're allowed to peel off from combat)

problem is it's got Asty syndrome ("BUT NO DAMAGE!")

Netrunner's 2 time World Champ didn't make the cut. So, maybe X-wing will get a new World Champ this year as well.

Nah, it was a super big deal that he was undefeated last year.

According to List Juggler ( http://lists.starwarsclubhouse.com/get_tourney_details?tourney_id=803 ), he had 38 tournament points in 8 rounds of swiss. The highest possible score with a single loss was only 35.

Maybe it was two years ago? I am sure he lost once during Swiss against Dash.

Texx is 0-2 as well.

Two days of 6 rounds of Swiss, different pools. Four or more wins progress to two more rounds of Swiss on Sunday. Top 16 cut.

I like the format. 4:2 for the first culling should remove a lot of the matchup randomness of the first swiss qualifier.

True, and palp/commonwealth defenders are the list to beat right now.

Any VI Bots lists running?

Or how many Brobots lists period?

competitive or no, I personally know from experience that I can't hit **** through green dice without full mods plus (be it TLTs, crackshot, juke etc.)

it's why I gave up on the Hotr T-70s. They have some fun builds that allow full offensive mods and nice mobility (PTL r2 pattern Snap; stay on target targeting astro Pa nien) but it's all bunk because your opponent won't take any damage but you will :(
