After unboxing all the wave six releases, Benitio Senence produces a full scale battle report where they explore the possibility of playing both scum and villainy and the rebel alliance with the same ships.
The actual video suffers from some pretty poor focus issues which makes it a pretty difficult video to watch. The hosts however do a competent job of commentating the whole experience at least.

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.

X-Wing 2015 Store Champs Top 8 part 1 Shuffle and Cut Games
The SoCal X-Wing channel has been providing exhaustive coverage of the most recent store championship with cameras mounted on two tables during the entire tournament. Now that the videos have progressed into the elimination round they are now introducing a commentators to provide more complete coverage of each match.
As I have already stated the video quality is perfectly adequate but as always the lack of 1080p resolution is a disappointment.
The commentary is well done and features two players from the same tournament which helps give insight into the other rounds played by the players. The commentary could be a little livelier and with fewer pauses but otherwise it is of a pretty high standard.

X-Wing Batrep: Dual Defenders vs. S&V 4Z/2Y
The Daily dial are breaking out of their mould and experimenting with more non conventional lists.
In this video they take two TIE Defenders up against a six ship scum swarm, that might be a tongue twister.

Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game Handsome Nick StarViper vs Commentator ...
The FCB Comics and Games store have become quite a presence among the X-wing community for regularly streaming games from their Atlanta location.
They also do a good job of uploading some of the best matches to their YouTube channel. Obviously this is done in the fastest way possible so the result is this unedited match in its entirety which can be a bit drawn out at times but the commentary usually does a good job of filling the gap by commenting on the chat from the stream.

Star Wars X-Wing Miniature Game - Squadron Building - I Sinistri "6"
The Italian channel "La Vipera sul Tubo" explores list possibilities.
SZ-Wing Trainingsfight 9 (X-Wing)
The German language SZ-Wing channel produces their first video using the Scum and Villainy ships released recently.
this game features a double IG-88 list take on a Z-95 mini swarm backed up by Kavil and Torkil Mux.
Unfortunately they haven't provided their lists for this game so I cant be 100% sure which of the IG-88's were involved. I'm pretty sure they were B and C just because B is the obvious choice and it looks like they're getting the free evade tokens for boosts. the only way I know Kavil and Torkil were involved is because the Y-wing moves after the IG's and Torkil because they were checking for range two at the beginning of the combat phase.
With regards to the actual video quality the room is poorly lit with the major light source being the other side of the play field creating a back lit effect over most of the game pieces. Also due to the poor lighting evade and focus tokens are almost impossible to distinguish.
