X-Wing - Tulsa Store Championship 2015 - Top 4.1

Team Covenant's second semi final video from their store championship.

X Wing Battle Report: Andy vs Nate

Santa Barbara Wargaming debuts their first X-Wing battle report of a friendly game with some of their local players who also provide commentary.
The camera has been hung directly above the playfield. Now this may seem like a good choice but I've found it results in the game detail being much flatter. I personally prefer when the camera is mounted alongside the play surface facing down at an angle of about 30 degrees. I find that from that angle the ships seem much closer and the 3D aspect of the models can be appreciated better. Also I find that the obstacle tokens also pop a little better of the table surface. There are also times when the TIE Phantom is quite hard to make out the actual model.
Another downside is that the top down view restricts the width of the play field to the same height as the screen. However TV screens are considerably wider than they are tall, meaning that there is a lot of unused space to the sides of the playfield. In the case of this video so that your not watching the two players legs move around they have edited out the excess space to the edges of the screen.
The commentary recorded by the two players is actually pretty good for a first try and they do an excellent job of keeping a pretty steady conversation for the whole duration of the game.

X-Wing Miniatures batrep: Before and After Phantom Nerf

Steve Smith uploads footage of two games featuring one played before the change to the decloaking mechanic. Even so as the video is presented as a round summary report so the actual difference in the mechanic is not seen, only that the player goofed and got his phantom blown up.

Whisper

This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of Whisper. It will soon see the end of the Rebellion.

The video is quite funny and sums up some of the more phantom obsessed players.

X Wing Battrep #6 Chiraneau/Whisper vs Jake Farell

GeneralMcCracker provides German battle reports but manages to include enough english to make sure that international viewers can follow along without too much difficulty.

the battle reports are produced in a summary format where after each round they give a brief summary of the events transpired.

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.

X-Wing 2015 Store Champs Round 3.2 Shuffle and Cut Games

Another match from the Shuffle & Cut store championship round three of Swiss

X-Wing 2015 Store Champs Round 3.1 Shuffle and Cut Games

SoCal X-Wing continues to upload some excellent quality videos from the Shuffle & Cut Store championship.

As these videos are still covering the Swiss rounds they have decided not to provide commentary and are saving that for the elimination rounds where the games will be more intense.

Check back in the next few days to find those videos.

SZ-Wing Trainingsfight 8 (X-Wing)

Even though the SZ-Wing channel appears to be a German channel I would be amazed if with all the audio shenanigans going that a German viewer could understand anything much less an English speaking viewer-
otherwise the video quality is pretty good but the unused space at the bottom of the screen could have been used to move the play field closer to the camera.

Star Wars X-Wing Store Championship Tournament Top8

The Dogs of War channel brings us coverage of the quarter finals of their local store championship. A Rebel swarm takes on the Whisper + Decimator combo.

The video quality is excellent and well lit, I was even able to tell the difference between critical and focus dice results.

The commentary on the other hand is a bit dull and this considering that the video was sped up to make the game shorter.
