X-Wing 2015 Store Champs Round 4.2 Shuffle and Cut Games

SoCal X-Wing's coverage of the Shuffle & Cut Store Championship is one of the most complete tournament coverage I've seen to date. Each round features two matches played with a good clear view of the playfield. Whilst commentary is missing in these Swiss rounds the fact that they went to the effort of making sure to document so much play with a wide variety of lists is definitely worthy of note.

The only thing lacking from this collection of videos is that they don't get up to 1080p resolution.

This round four match seems to have been a huge coincidence of seeding as two lists, both featuring a lambda and two arc dodgers, battle it out.

Skull Squadron X-Wing Saturday Nights Ep.1

A cool little home video style batrep of a casual game between friends is the debut video uploaded on Metox001's channel.
The camera could have been slightly higher and closer to the playfield to give a better view but conversation between the two players and the host/cameraman make it easy to follow the game.
Extra points for having Return of the Jedi playing on a TV in the background.
And the take away lesson from this game is dont bring a Lambda to a Decimator fight.

X-Wing at FCB: Hairy Situation

This Dylan Wintersteen channel shows up out of nowhere with a pretty well produced video.

The two participants provide the post game commentary discussing features and choices in their lists as well as how they had expected the other to act at key points.

The Video is well produced and high quality, using the sanctioned dice overlays to indicate dice rolls and a more disctinctive but very clear squad layout indicating the hit points left on each ship.

Mayday from Semros X Wing Battle Report 4A

An interesting narative campaign played by two canadiens.whilst most of the battlereport is seen through a hand held camera, there is a second static camera that could be used more such as during activation phase would give the player holding the camera both hands free, then change to the handheld camera for the combat phase. Use of the handheld camera does make all aspects of the game very clear.
The players are not the most experienced and this is most telling as the battle gets more drawn out towards the end. although the game does have an interesting conclusion
