META WING IS BACK

Clearly a trash site, it has Han & Jake at 20 & 31, but everyone knows they’re 1 & 2 ez mode auto win 🤨

*Checks to see that the only 2-ship silencer archetype is Silencer + Shuttle*

Kylo + QD (although only scrubbing to 3-3 in their 6-game tourneys): Am I a joke to you?

Alright, time to fix this. Fight me and my Brolencers!

Wedge is good (tm).

Please enlighten me - the video showing Quickdraw dropping a shield to hit Wedge, please can someone confirm the "cannot attack a ship at range 0" rule as I'm very confused by this ?

Though I'm very happy to see one of my favoured ships getting a nice hit on :)

Around this time last year, the #1 Pilot was Zeb Orrelios

I would assume she didn't bump Wedge since she shot him,

I’m sitting at a bar with the Champ and 2nd place (Andrew and Mitch). There wasn’t a bump, just a *really* close range 1.

I showed up for a local tournament today and was the only person who showed up with something other than Rebels. Also, the only one to show up without Wedge. I was... not prepared for that?

Life in a “diverse” meta.

Edited by PaulRuddSays
Clarity: 8 people showed up.

So let's say you are going to play in a quick build tournament. What do you play (6-points or 8 points)? What tactics do you use against that guy who brings 3 or 4 Upsilon shuttles? Any particularly potent QBs?

Wedge, Luke, Blue Scout w/ Leia, Blue Escort

L'ulo w/ Heroic, Nien w/ Crack, Ello w/ Crack and R5-X3, Tallie w/ Crack and Prockets

^ the two 6-0s at Denver's qualifier

Most quickbuild events have a 2 shuttle max floor rule

You should have brought Blackout, the Wedge that stapled the guns of an Upsilon to a Sliencer. Or perhaps Guri, the slippery android Wedge with wonky barrel rolls. Maybe even Arvel, the Wedge mini-me of the Kamikaze.

Don't insinuate that Wedge takes away from diversity.

Seriously though that's an amazing play. X-Wing needs to have youtubers who do NFL-like "best plays of the season" compilations

 man I'm looking forward to Snap Shot so much

Id be in on Snap Shot 2.0 if it required you to fly over rocks and take damage.

Also might make more sense just to email the clip directly to NFL films.

I love how the tension switches with each moment in that clip - will it fit? it does! will he roll the hit? yesss! first roll - all blanks! oh no! wait, he has the lock, reroll into 3 hits, that's probably enough! 2 natural evades! what's the crit? direct! amazing!

While I love stats as much as the next guy can we all just take a moment to recognize (or in some cases maybe realize) that the overwhelming vast majority of the X-Wing tournament player base is not composed of anything resembling rational actors? I sometimes feel like behavioral economics needs to ****slap us all...

Having metawing is imo better than not having it.

But the number of times that it got misused to 'prove' a point in 1.0 was too dam high. It was part of the reason why I started my own stuff.

There is so much crap in listfortress, and manual curation of the input data is very important.

That was seriously the dopest live x wing move I have ever seen, the surprise, the risk, the luck! It was like oh he is gonna probably fly between those rocks and set up this smart move blah blah....oh wait oh *****! I didn’t even know what I was seeing at first then I was like oh dang that’s right this is QUICKDRAW! Activation phase knock out. It is for sure first edition nonsense ability....that happened to be so dope!
