Getting super drunk the night before I play x-wing.

LOL. For sure. 6 rounds of swiss with a 5 alarm hangover is a bad day of X-wing.

Even 4 rounds hurts my soul in that state

So funny story about this... at my FLGS we just finished making threat cards but for 1.0 (which don't use TLT, VI, or Expertise) and we're playing a format we're you use 5 threat. I took the four threat Poe (PS9, BB8, PTL, Thrusters, Black 1, Optics, APT) and a bid and it actually went pretty well!

I did attempt a joust at the end of one game which went terribly though.

Poe Power!!

Lack of practice because of that **** real life that gets in the way.

I don't fly the same list enough and don't practice enough before a tournament.

I fly TIE strikers now. Why? Because even when I lose, I have the illusion that I had a chance. "If I had just done this, or avoided that" become common thoughts after a match. I'd like to think I'm getting better, but 1W-5L in the Vassal League is telling a very different story. Inner Rim is tough, man!

I think my decline began when I started despising the "broken" stuff. Eventually I stopped buying the new stuff, and before I knew it, I wasn't even going to game night any more. So #3, not getting enough games in, is probably the biggest reason I'm bad.

Anyway, the biggest problem with the lists I run, is that my wins are probably mostly dice-based wins, and I just don't realize it. Maybe that's why I feel like any game is beatable - because it is if I'm lucky enough. Does that mean I actually fly pretty well, but am just handicapping myself? Perhaps, but I still make enough mistakes game-to-game that I know there is room for improvement.
