When you build the perfect squad, dial in the perfect maneuvers and completely out flank you opponent.
But then roll dice to see if you can actually hit anything...
X-Wing Moments (Expressed in the form of GIF's)
When your friend steals your list and wins the event with it:

Where Ello Asty at?
Being on the receiving end of a TIE swarm
Precision flying with a TIE striker
When Zari Bangel bumps, then boosts past you and rotates arc anyways
Trying to hit Fenn Rau at range 1
I got bored and decided to add more...
14. When you pull of a really cool maneuver…but your ship is on your opponent’s side of the board
15. When your one game goes to time and then you have to RUSH to your next table with all of your crap before the next one
16. When you rack your brain for the right pilot/pilot ability to synergize with your list before you just throw in a generic
17. When you finally get a damage card dealt to your TIE Defender
18. When you SHOULD save your force tokens for mods, but you REALLY want to use your cool force powers
19. When you have to calm another player down and remind them that the game is about maneuvering and not the dice (I've been on both sides of this)

Wow, that is a deep cut. Well played.
When your flying Anakin and you miss judge the arc dodge of a kill box...
Not a gif but meh
When you're playing that try-hard dude who says he landed that impossibly close maneuver without overlapping template or ship base,
but you know you saw the rock move/ship bump..
Happy Friday!
20. When you park your ship on a rock in the first round of shooting on game 6 of a HST (because you are so TIRED) and then that ship just gets torn apart by someone who can actually play
21. When you have all of these Hyperspace games lined up and all you want to do is unleash this really cool extended list
22. When you casually ask your wife if you two are doing anything important this weekend (and you KNOW she knows that there is X-wing stuff going on)
23. Any CIS dial…
24. The joy of playing Sun Fac (coming soon)
25. The joy of playing Backdraft
26. The joy of equipping a TIE/SF with passive sensors for the first time…
The GIF we've all been saving but may never be able to use:
When you mess up your triggers on opening engagment
How I feel when someone explains an ability different from how I understood it.
Then I realize how wrong I was:

22 killed me. 23 revived me and then rekilled me.
This thread should be pinned. (Sorry - I don't have anything else to add).
When you finish assembling the dials of the conversion sets:
When your fancy high init ace faces my Torkil Mux:
Been a while. Happy Friday!
27. Marking ships when moving through a pile-up (early in the tournament)
28. Marking SEVERAL ships when moving through a pile-up (late in the tournament)
29. Accepting a judge rule you don’t agree with
30. The feeling at the end of a game against a classy opponent who had just as much fun as you did
31. Defending the use of low initiative ships to your judgmental friends
32. Asking your opponent’s name at the end of a match even though they told it to you like TWICE
75 minutes after I show up with a new list I'm really proud of:
When your opponent does a definitely-not-a-fortress:
Whenever I roll blanks but the higher PS starfighter shoots me down immediately afterwards...
When I am playing casually with food nearby and continue to stink at everything...
Whenever I get an enemy ship in Anakin's Delta 7 Aethersprite...
When Obi-Wan runs into an asteroid with one hull point but rolls a critical, but I don't care and I want to get out of there...

One of the best Paul Rudd scenes EVAR.
It has been one heck of a Monday, so… enjoy some X-wing comedy!
33. Trying out a new list using the new ships from the new wave at your FLGS tournament…and then going undefeated
34. What I imagine is going on inside the mind of the poor generic ship pilot that I order to go through a debris cluster so that he can get into a blocking position of a swarm formation
35. When you KNOW you HAVE to wake up at 5 AM on the Saturday of the tournament so that you can hit the road and be at the out of state store in time for dials down
36. Then you Find out that the tournament is using BCP…
37. That sweet sweet feeling of getting behind a swarm formation
38. When all of your range 1 shots roll like garbage
39. When you are slightly behind on points, it’s the last round, you are setting dials, and you need to figure out what enemy ship gives you the best chance to tip the points balance in your favor
40: What I always imagine Quickdraw is like in combat, and actually never is:
I totally fail at linking
