Considering the top prizes can be sold for hundreds of dollars, which for most of the attendees would barely cover travel expenses, I'm pretty sure you're right that there are no pros.

We have a local who at least breaks even at World’s every year between XWing and Destiny prizes.

Sadly you’re right about your own point but that isn’t a logical rebut in itself.

Uhhh, its not a rebuttal, I'm agreeing that there aren't pro players.

Just FYI, he wasn't talking about pros as in "professionals." He was talking about pros as in "things to like about the list; not cons." (BTW, by "not cons" I don't mean "not people currently or in the past incarcerated." I mean "not pros.")

I think he’s intentionally misunderstanding to try and rustle my jimmies.

Wedge Salad

Wedge of pie?

I'm not good at coming up with silly/catchy names. I suppose I've been calling it "Rebel Good Stuff".

It had a lot of classic rebel feel... "Rebel Classics"?

@DTDanix if I may ask, what part of the list overperformed, underperdormed or did just right, in terms of what you expected if them?

Just a reading comprehension failure.

Daniel's Crack Salad vs Oli's Passive Aces. A great matchup. At our local store we hold a World Championship (Local Rematch) tournament where each player uses one of the squads from the final table. Looking forward to this one!

The generic Z did a lot of good work. Whether it was slow rolling, flanking, blocking, he did it all throughout the 2 days. Unfortunately in the finals he mostly just got in the way of my own ships, but that's on me.

Everything else performed about how I expected:
Wedge and Braylen are solid beatsticks.
Jake is ridiculously good and adds tons of flexibility.
Blount is the unassuming z that is suddenly throwing out more damage than the opponent expects.

@Brunas , this version of rebel good stuff did a bit better than y'alls.

I've pretty much convinced myself that Jake is the best ship for the points that Rebels have.

Clothesline??? Is that what they call the thin steel cords I've been hanging things with?

Rebel Soontir against a decent % of the field. Jake is awesome.

Also Holy **** A-Wings are so cool.

RZ1s should have a discount because they're so cool. Instead they have a tax (except for Jake).

Blount is in a category with other well known good dudes.

• Scorch
• Wampa
• Hask
• Finn
• Greer
• Longshot
• Etc.

Also congrats on making it to the final

@DTDanix one thing that would be interesting to hear your perspective on is how you used Braylen in the list.

Did you primarily toss Jake Focuses to Braylen for linked rolls, or did those go to Sir Wedge?
What did you do to keep Braylen on target for more than just the first pass? I have run Braylen a little bit and solving that puzzle is kinda what makes him interesting.

Assume 1 forwards, keeping him a little further back to increase time on target, or picking a good lane to attack and be able to bank into the next engage, blocking things for him to shoot at, etc.
I run Scorch alot who stresses for extra red dice similar to Braylen stressing for mods, alot of effort goes into giving him a long run way or lane to attack from.

Jake and Han in my opinion. The only real “aces” rebels have.

I’d put Wedge, Braylen, and Luke very shortly after those.

Luke with Burners is awesome.
