Meta List Matchups

By Boba Rick, in X-Wing

So these are the currently top 20 meta lists, and I'm thinking about playing with my some friends from time to time. I don't want bad matchups though, so my question for you is what is a fair matchup against what?

For example, is Final Form a good matchup against Ghost Fenn?

Thanks.

Are your friends xwing vets? Otherwise, it wont matter much. If they dont know how to use Miranda, she will "pop" fast. Same with Kylo. So maybe give them RAC+ACE or Asajj/Nym? Then miranda Dash or palp aces should be okay matchup. Stay away from quad wookiees unless you just want practice against it

Final Form has a bad matchup against Ghost Fenn. 28% Win Ratio in the last month (6 Games out of 21). It's all in Meta-Wing! Just go to the List archetype page and scroll down. You'll see all the relevant meta matchups!
That being said, Howard Aces seems to be a fair matchup against Final Form: 50% ratio out of 12 games.

I HATE these stupid names. People looking to get their name on something. And then it makes it harder for everyone else to learn.

Miranda Nym is completely understandable and fast.

Ezra Miranda Low

Seriously, Pezrug, Eide-Aces? Who cares that Nathan Eide is a great E-wing player? Go him. But don't call stupid lists on meta-wing by those stupid names.

I find that it's more about what archetypes trump what archetypes,

For example:

RAC/Lo dumpersters most two ship lists (Fen and Ghost are a challenge though because it's just that good)

The 100 point ace variants (Sheathipede, Lowrick and a regen ace) are great jousters and beat pretty much anything in a joust save for final form where I haven't seen enough of these games to favour either side

Ace variants aren't bad against final form and seem to be able to handle 100 point ace seo what decently though I don't favour them there

Rey/Low seems to be the most consistent winner against Fenn/Ghost

But all this is from personal experience and I'd take meta wing's words over mine any day of the week

Remember that Boba/Asajj list that came out around the time Harpoon GUNBOATS were all over the place? Boba has Fearlessness, Asajj has VI, etc. Could that list joust Miranda/Nym?

Thank you very much! I didn't know that the matchup info was right there. I'll have to dig in a little deeper.

Hmmm... so it seems like it's best to fiddle with the filter and get more time. Otherwise there's not a lot of game there.

Interesting that Ghost/Fenn is 18/17 to Dengar+Asajj.

Mostly for my wife and I. She's decided to try Ghost/Finn and I'm going to run Rey/Nym or Rey/Miranda against her.

I did: was fun, I won. Shot down nym in two rounds, go fearlessness and Boba rerolls!
