This is an alpha video of the 2D pony fighting game that is currently being worked on here! The amount of progress they have made so quickly is astounding, hell the animation alone looks professional.
You can find the embedded demo video below!
Also GoldenRusset fully supports it now!
(Edit* changed progress to something else cause I was tired and didn't proofread anything last night. )

FINISH HER
VastaKustutaWow. Just, wow. THAT FAST?
VastaKustutaThis...is...AWESOME!!!
VastaKustutathere is everything awesome about this
VastaKustutaALL OF MY BITS! TAKE IT!
VastaKustutaNow this I can get behind.
VastaKustutaOh my Celestia that looks amazing. When I first saw the screen shots I thought it'd just be okay at best but that looks like some solid fighting with awesome chain combos, not to mention the character model shown is very well animated and the music Rainbow Crash is making fits it so well.
VastaKustutaI'm officially excited for this, any news on a release date?! There better be tournaments when this debuts.
Waaaaaaatt?!
VastaKustutaThis is amazing.
The character animations look SICK! Can't wait to see more :D
VastaKustutaIt looks awesome, yes. But its a fighting game... It just feels so wrong! The show is about friendship! I don't want to beat up Fluttershy with Applejack, I'd feel like a monster!
VastaKustutaActually... Maybe if Blueblood is in it... I'd gladly beat the crap out of him. With everypony.
*manly squee* I am willing to buy this game for ten times whatever it costs. Hell, I'd pay even if it was free. I am THAT pumped to play this.
VastaKustutaTis better have net play or my rage will burn with the power of a thousand suns!
VastaKustutajk ofc, this game is gonna rock hard!!!
It is not possible to describe the amount of "want" I have in words.
VastaKustutaI can't wait for the other characters...
VastaKustutaAnd their specials.
There will be specials, right?
Yow, that's looking pretty sharp so far. It'll be interesting to see how they balance out between pegasus ponies having the ability to fly and unicorn ponies (presumably) having a ranged magic attack or two.
VastaKustutaAlso, inevitable Twilight/Trixie epic grudge match. It must happen.
This just made my day.
VastaKustutaIt looks amazing, and I was just playing Mortal Kombat thinking "This needs more ponies," and lo and behold. I cannot wait for the full game, or even just a demo that can keep me occupied.
I can't believe how good this looks.
VastaKustutaThat winter wrap up-applejack mix and this smooth gameplay?
VastaKustutaDO WANT.
HADOUKEN!!!
VastaKustutaFluid, fast animation. It looks so solid. I want it. I want to have it's children!
VastaKustutaHoly crap! Yes! A thousand times yes!
VastaKustutaMY BODY WAS NOT READY
VastaKustutaThis is freaking awesome
VastaKustutaG'wan Granny Smith! Kick that young'un's backside into next week!
VastaKustutaI had this pegged for another vapourware title, but the video looks awesome and I'm all excited for the final product now.
inb4 project taken down by Hasbro for copyright infringement and kid-unfriendly nature.
VastaKustutaY U POST ON YOUTUBE?
@Anonymous
VastaKustutaThis looks no more graphically violent than anything that's actually happened on the show, and unless they're attempting to charge money for it then I doubt they'll get hit with a cease & desist.
Unless Hasbro is also making a similar game, but the odds of that are pretty low.
Wow, just take my money.
VastaKustutaWhat kind of fighters are we going to see?
VastaKustutaIT'S...BEAUTIFUL...
VastaKustutaLet's fight...like gentlecolts.
VastaKustutaAbsolutely amazing, like some pony said here I'd gladly pay money for this game it looks so well done! Definitely the best in-progress mlp game I have ever seen, keep it up!
VastaKustutaAJ lookalike she could use a range attack or two, apple-bucking projectiles for sure!
Can't waitto see some specials!
Please take all my bits for the chance to play this pre alpha game for just 5 minutes!
VastaKustutaSweet Celestia, dat animation! Everything was so smooth and lively! I would not hesitate to pay for this kind of game should funding ever become an issue for the creators.
VastaKustuta@Baree
I do recall Applejack and RD beating the tar out of each other in Fall Weather Friends. The show may be about friendship, but friends wail on each other all the time. Could just be in the spirit of competition rather than malice.
@Anon
~It'll be interesting to see how they balance out between pegasus ponies having the ability to fly and unicorn ponies (presumably) having a ranged magic attack or two.~
Probably by limiting the Pegusi to either temporary flight or just double jump/extended hang time. Unicorns will probably have a comparatively long cool down animation behind any of their ranged attacks to make up for it. Long range, but leaves them open if you dodge it.
Wow, I was actually amazed at how fluid the animation was on this... I expected it to look kind of choppy, but no, the fighting was actually really well animated!
VastaKustutaNow I'm EXTRA excited for this.
@Baree To copy the gist of a comment from when the pictures were uploaded...
"Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that friends sometimes get into fights, but as long as you're able to laugh and make up afterwards, it will all be okay.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle
P.S. I'm sorry about the bruises. I swear I didn't know you had a glass jaw..."
Uh-oh. Internet spoiled my comment. Then I just repeat a little summary of my lost post:
VastaKustutaAMAZING ;A; Wait it like I wait Heart of swarm! Even stronger! +_+
The animations is just SO SMOOTH!
VastaKustutaWhen this is finished, it'll probably be the best thing this fandom has ever created.
VastaKustutaThis is AMAZING. The animations for applejack look so natural! I would pay for this game, no question.
VastaKustutaWords cannot describe how awesome this looks. and I don't even like fighting games that much.
VastaKustutaI absolutely adore the attention to detail that the developers included in this game. The way Applejack's hat bounces when she slams her forehooves into the ground twice... beautiful.
VastaKustutaThe animation is very fluid and fits right into the style of the show.
This is pure gold.
Oh my goodness, this is awesome.
VastaKustutaThe only problem I've seen would be the characters bouncing off the edges of the screen. It annoys me to no end.
Oh well, it's probably already fixed.
DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC DAT MUSIC
VastaKustutaFINISH HER.
VastaKustuta"Friendship!"
AND THAT'S THE ONLY OPTION. :D
The Music is strong in this!
VastaKustutaYou had me at Applejack's floating hat.
VastaKustutaSo you'e telling me this isn't an official game by Valve? Damn.
VastaKustutaAlso, the music is beyond awesome. Especially the last 6 seconds of the video.
Man! This is getting ridiculous. Good ridiculous! See, this is what happens when you crack the gender barrier. All kinds of crazy stuff comes pouring out.
VastaKustutaThat music couldn't possibly be better. It says Applejack. It says ponies. It says fighting game. All together. Ooh! Ooh! Will there be special attacks? Will there be rope tricks? Calling on Winona to lead a stampede? In-fight voice samples? Will there be other finishing poses, like her "I just did something cool so I'm going to cross my forelegs in a cowgirl pose" pose? Alternate costumes? And this is just Applejack. Imagine what Celestia will do. Luna and Celestia, goddess grudgematch! Kickass eclipse!
Man! What a fandom we have.
...
VastaKustuta*picks jaw off ground*
Wow, just .... wow!
This is amazing and I can't wait to see what else appears.
Finishing Moves:
Rainbow Dash = Sonic Rainboom
Celestia = Send 'em to the Moon!
Fluttershy = The Stare or Rage-mode
Applejack = Stampede!
Trixie = Summon Ursa minor
Ditzy Doo = Special Delivery! (ala FPK)
I wasn't excited for much, if anything, shown at E3 this year. But now I'm excited for this.
VastaKustutaI love this fandom so god damn much.
The animation is very well done. And now I want that music on my mp3 player. DAT BANJO
Soooooo excited for this game! The animation is fantastic, and that was some fantastic bgm. Specials would be icing on the cake.
VastaKustutaHere my monies, take it all!
VastaKustutaSeriously tho I would donate to you guys cause you're just that awesome.
I am SO going to main Twilight. AJ is all kinds of awesome, but I want to play a mage.
VastaKustutaThe developers are showing much more attention to detail than most major dev studios and publishing houses.
VastaKustutaI see a bright future for those involved in this project.
Keep up the good, solid work.
I picture Rarity doing a kind of Midnight Bliss thing where she wraps her opponent in something fabulous and then attacks while they're stunned. Fluttershy's harder to imagine, but then, she's got "the Stare" down... she'd probably get Angel to do most of the violent stuff.
VastaKustutaI was really skeptical about this project when I first heard about this, but by the gods, this looks great! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
VastaKustutaSO... MUCH... WANT...
VastaKustutaAWESOME
VastaKustutaSHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
No but really it looks as good as a A-class videogame so you should be happy and proud for what you have already archive without even finish it
PS: Am wondering who are going to be the other charactes, I mean it will be Luna, Cellestia, DJ Poni3, Derpy Hooves??? (at leas that what i wish)
This video gave me an idea for a story line:
VastaKustutaAn evil toy company starts producing cheap recolored knockoffs of the Mane Cast and giving them different names, and it's up to the ponies to beat the tar out of their unholy clones to defend their trademarked dignity!
For my reaction to this, I think I shall a quote a Mr. Phillip J. Fry. "Shut up and take my money!"
VastaKustuta*Ahem* Gentlecolts...
VastaKustutaPrepare to fight.
Looks promising.
VastaKustutaThis is exactly what i expected and its FABULOUS!
VastaKustutaActually, Fluttershy'll probably be one of the most effective fighters, since I'm not sure I'd even be able to wish harm upon her. Seriously, could anyone actually want to beat up Fluttershy? All she would need would be to get first blood and then just wait for the timer to die while her opponent shuffles their feet.
VastaKustutashutupandtakemymoney.jpg
VastaKustutaHoly shit.
VastaKustutaI think I started crying a bit!
VastaKustutaIt's so... Beautiful!
I know in the video description it says they aren't profiting from it, but I wish there was a way to donate or do ANYTHING to help make sure this project is completed!
VastaKustutaYou have the director's blessing! WOO!
VastaKustutahttp://twitter.com/#!/goldenrusset
Do want! Oh man, Rainbow Dash all the way for this. Flying + Combo points = awesome in a box.
VastaKustuta/)^ɛ^(\
VastaKustutaI can't wait to see the others of the mane cast :D
VastaKustutaI know this has been said alot, but:
JUST SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!
@Balderdashington
VastaKustutaWHAT THE F***!?!
I so hope they make a Guilty Gear Style fighting game instead of crappy Street Fighter.
VastaKustutaWhoa, that music is perfect!
VastaKustutaNOOOOOOOOO WHAT HAPPENED TO LOVE AND TOLERANCE!
VastaKustutaMY BITS. TAKE THEM ALL.
VastaKustutaI really NEED this game!
VastaKustutaIt looks fabulous!
Good work!
can't wait to see kung fu applebloom :D
VastaKustutathis is 20% cooler than starcraft 2
VastaKustutaThis looks really awesome, and I want to play it. But I wish Applejack's P2 colors didn't make her look like Granny Smith.
VastaKustutaSHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY, ALL OF IT
VastaKustutaSeriously Now, thank god they finally made/are making a Pony game which stays true to the show when it comes to animation
The Animation is what introduced people to the show
Winner must hug everyone else.
VastaKustutaI still hope they make Sleepyjack, Pinkamena and Flutterage as playable characters.
VastaKustutaEven though it seems so wrong to have ponies fighting, this looks like the best fighting game ever. The animation is amazing. Love the details like the hat coming off with some moves. So, even if it is wrong having the ponies beating the snot out of each other I want to play this.
VastaKustutaAnd just when i think this community couldn't get any more awesome...
VastaKustutaALL OF MY BITS!! ALL OF MY APPLES!!! ALL OF MY FRIENDSHIP!!!!1!11
VastaKustutaLooks like a solid foundation, can't wait to see the other character models and their special moves.
VastaKustutaBY CELESTIA THAT IS *does Rainbow Dash impersonation* SO AWESOME!
VastaKustutaSpeaking of, needs moar of The Dash!
BulletHell games > Mortal Kombat
VastaKustutaSC2 Ain't got shit on this xD
Now i can actually play a game and i know that it's a PONY GAME, WITH ACTUAL PONIES, sheeesh
HOLY SHIT I WANNA PLAY IT NOW! :D
VastaKustutaYou win. That's it. You win the game; you win life; you just win everything. Ever.
VastaKustutaIf this footage is anything to base the final prduct off of, I would gladly pay $60+ for it. Needs specials, though...you know, um, if you don't mind, that is.
Friendship... Friendship again?
VastaKustutaWhy can't you throw the character off the screen? The arenas are obviously big enough to do it, but each time they stop at the edge of the screen instead of a barrier in the game.
VastaKustuta''Mutes video and Plays the Mortal Kombat Theme over it'' This video just became 120% C(O)(O)L3R
VastaKustutaNow All we need is BLEEDING >:D... CUPCAKES xD
Oh yeah...''smells the epicness''
While people bleed red liquid, ponies bleed CUPCAKES xD
So much work has gone into the animations here. It's incredible. Some fan made games just don't look like the characters are there in the environment they've been placed in, but these characters genuinely react.
VastaKustutaWow.
Silly Seth...Applejack was already the best pony (Yes I realize my username contradicts that...)
VastaKustutaOh my god, I assumed this would end up being crap (I'm never to optimistic) but that looks fucking incredibly well done.
VastaKustutaShut up and take my friendship.
VastaKustutaCan't wait to see Pinkie Pie, I'm hoping they'll animate her doing this
VastaKustutahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8-DJmcI8Q8&t=3m57s
and this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8-DJmcI8Q8&t=3m8s
I'm pretty excited about this. And the fact that Applejack, the best pony, is the first character showcase is awesome. I can't wait to see what the story mode is for this.
VastaKustutaFinal boss is Nightmare Moon in her full glory.
Secret Final Boss is a friendly sparring match with the sun goddess herself.
@Gozerian
VastaKustutaHoping she has a one man band or trumpet attack :p
But yeah, this looks like it might actually be very enjoyable. I'm not one to play a game simply because it has characters from something I like in it; games must stand up on their own merits.
Hoping the rest is this awesome.
http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww151/puck35/so_much_win_graphic.png
VastaKustutaThat is all.
Amazing!
VastaKustutaPure WIN!
Wanna play this SOOOOOOO bad right now...
All my respect! All of it!
Not going to main her, but Pinkie needs a divekick and some really oppressive framedata. Rushdown on crack for days. Only way I can picture her in a FG.
VastaKustutaRegardless though, Rainbow Dash main here.
I'm surprised NO ONE has said this yet.. so let me be the first.
VastaKustutaFOALTALITY!
@Sandman
VastaKustutaAnd Pinkie Pie's finisher needs to be this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RshrT9qoaow
I hope this will have some more awesome moves by the end, such as sidestepping and/or finishing moves
VastaKustuta'd also love joystick and controller support, but if you can have custom keys then that all works itself out
I sure as hell am making Twilight my mane fighter.
VastaKustutaI like that this actually looks like somewhat of a playable fighting game with combos, OTG and wallbounce etc...
VastaKustutaMuch better looking than i expected
@Anonymous
VastaKustutaHaha, would love to see PINKIE PIE wack people over the head with health bars.
Here's hoping that Big Mac is a character.
VastaKustutaI need someone cheap that hits like a truck to play fighters effectively.
Cant wait .
VastaKustutaB-B-B-BRONY BREAKER!!
VastaKustutaMy jaw.. it is on the floor..
VastaKustutaThis game for EVO 2012.
VastaKustutaCan't wait to see Daigo or Justin kick some flanks.
These are now our brony deities. Benevolent overlords who provide us with copious amounts of awesome.
VastaKustutaAnd that's got to be some of the best pony music I've ever heard.
I know they'll do their best to keep each individual fighter balanced, but I'll ask anyways:
VastaKustutaCharacter most likely to be broken/overpowering compared to the rest?
i am amazed. like, the amazement, it hurts.
VastaKustutamy body, it wasnt ready.
I can't wait for this to be finished. I think I anticipate this more than season 2.
well, it's at least a tie.
CAN'T. FUCKING. WAIT.
VastaKustutaI'm gonna kick all your bitch asses with Pinkie's sweet teleportation skillz.
Judging by the amount of PC's that was announced previously, I must say that I don't think there are enough characters.
VastaKustutaI propose that DLC packs adding new characters to the game be released on a bi-weekly/monthly basis. each one adding 5-10 new characters until they've got everypony involved (by which point Season 2 will likely be in full swing if not already nearing an end, giving even more characters afterward!).
Maybe even themed packs, such as an "alter ego" download which gives you Sleepyjack, Pinkamena, Psychoshy, Rapidash Sparkle, Paranoid Dash, and, err...whatever the clever name is for Wallowing Rarity.
See? I can think of ideas! I just can't see them through myself.
This isn't frienship!
VastaKustutaThe only downside I can see is that sooner or later, I'll have to play against Fluttershy....
VastaKustutaI... don't think any brony can K.O. Fluttershy and feel happy about it....
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
VastaKustuta@Display Name
VastaKustutaFive characters every month?, are you oatmeal?
It probably takes them a month each just on making, let alone the testing and balancing.
@Anonymous
VastaKustutaNo, this is much better!
Awesome footage.
VastaKustutaFrom what I can tell, those fronthoof stomps appear to be a special move. The one stomp must be a light attack while the double-stomp is a stronger version.
Also I like the "snapback" kick, either a regular move exclusive to her (like forward + kick) or perhaps another special move. I'm throughly impressed with how the animators actually created the snapback animation with AJ hitting the side of the screen and then falling forward. Only the arc system games were able to use snapback animations so crisp.
And I share the general sentiment:
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY BITS!
Support +1
VastaKustutaApplejack in terms of fighting-game jargon would more than likely be a close melee fighter. Obviously being an earth pony she lacks much in long-range attacks (unless the creator decide to fashion her a buck-kick that sends apples as projectiles like she showed in Dragonshy), but obviously makes up for it with in-your face short-range melee combos.
VastaKustutaShe most certainly has little to no air combo ability, but makes it up with the fact that a very seasoned (or cheap) AJ player might spam corner-traping combos and whittle the opponent's health down.
Gee, am I a fighting game geek that obviously enthused with a game featuring PONIES? Not since MvC3 have I felt more enthused about a fighting game. That's the power of ponies for you.
cannot wait till this is available to play!
VastaKustutaThis looks so well made and i can honestly not wait to play this gem!
VastaKustutaPossible music styles for versus themes:
VastaKustutaTwilight: Soft rock of the MLP FiM Theme with extension
Rainbow: Original hard rock piece. Hands down.
Pinkie: "Parasprite polka" remixed
Rarity: "Art of the Dress" techno mixed with fashion show tempo
Fluttershy: "So Many Wonders" in a soft nature-like techno
Looks great so far! I hope Big Mac makes his debut as a grappler done right!
VastaKustutaAdd my voice to the crowd of those at first going, 'Oh, that looks nice, I wonder if anything will ever come of it?' to those of the recently converted.
VastaKustutaBravo! I can't wait to see more, and the finished product of course!
As long as the ponies HUG AND MAKE UP at the end of the fight I'll be happy. All in good sport in keeping with the show's theme.
VastaKustutaIs AppleJack fighting young GrannyPie xD? luuulz
VastaKustutaGranny SMITH.
VastaKustutaIf Twilight's Alt. color is her G1 coloring (aka her mom's coloration), I'll be happy.
I wonder how the CMC would "fight". I imagine Apple Bloom would be the main fighter with Scoot and Sweetie assisting her in the special/super/SD move, most likely.
The ultimate "Triple Finish" combo!
DO WANT!!!!
VastaKustutaAll this needs is an epic opener like Guilty Gears like "HEAVEN OR HELL, LETS ROCK" lol itl probly be like this..."LUNA or CELESTIA, LETS ROCK!". if they don't add anything like that i will have to mod it in or something lol
VastaKustutaNeeds Colgate as a playable character.
VastaKustuta@Anonymous
VastaKustutaNah man, Pinkie's gotta have a heavy metal theme.
ALL OF MY MONEY....TAKE IT.
VastaKustutaThe music was the best part of that video, by far.
VastaKustutaFINALLY, I HAVE A PERFECTLY GOOD EXCUSE TO THROW AWAY MY COPY OF STREET FIGHTER 4 OUT THE WINDOW.
VastaKustutaIt would be awesome if these guys put the recolored toys in for the duplicate ponies. I'd love to beat the tar out of those poor excuses for new toys.
VastaKustutahttp://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/2052835205
VastaKustutaLauren Faust commented on the Game.
Wow, absolutely stunning. Can't wait to play this.
VastaKustutaTHIS STOLE THE SHOW AT E3.
VastaKustutaNOOOOOOOOOOOOo! Demo link doesnt work!
VastaKustutaSorry, read the post wrong. My bad. Got to excited =P
VastaKustuta@BagOfChips
VastaKustutaGood lord, if they have Pinkie break the fourth wall and actually use parts of the game, like healthbars, in her moves the game designers will be entering areas of awesome not yet understood by the human mind.
Got my fingers crossed.
My support, our support, the director's support, the creator's support... you guys are SO MUCH WIN! (I know this has been said before! But I'll say it again, anyway!)
VastaKustutaHeaven or Hell...
VastaKustutaLet's Pony!
HOLY CELESTIA! This here. This right here. Total EPICNESS! SO AWESOME!
VastaKustutaWant Want WANT!
I'm just etching to play this game now! Argh! The suspense is killing me!
Looks pretty awesome. I just hope they hug and have no hard feelings afterward
VastaKustutaThis looks AWESOME. I can not wait!
VastaKustutaGYAAAAH. Are you people TRYING to drive me to international felony? I mean really! I've already run out of banks to rob, and I'm out of money to ALL MY with!
VastaKustutaBut still. ALL OF MY NON-EXISTANT MONEY.
The granny smith colour swap was pretty nifty I thought. Maybe in the final version, we could have a young 'Maria Smith' instead of a colour swapped Applejack? Still work the same and all, but y'know.
That would be even more of my money.
i hope that aj can kick apples as ranged attack sooner or later.
VastaKustutaIf Blueblood is in it, he HAS to be the joke character! Haha!
VastaKustuta@Baree
VastaKustutaAAHHH, but would you like to beat the tar outa AJ with Flutterage?
@Daffodil
VastaKustutaSo there are people who use Astaroth...
I have no more need for Blazblue.
VastaKustutaall of my bits,my Taokaka hoodie and my exact replica of Mucro Somnio Musashi.Take it...take them all.
But you'll never take my exact replica of Arcus Diabolus Bolverk.I have my limits.
In an ideal world,
VastaKustutaCapcom: ...FUND IT.
@2007excalibur2007
VastaKustuta*stands outside window*
Ready when you are!
YES. Want. Very much WANT.
VastaKustutaThis looks so smooth, even for a pre-alpha! Can't wait for the final product! I'd Let's Play it, too! xD ...Though, I'd definitely need a guest commentator. LOL!
I posted my thought on this on the video itself, but in short, YES. YES. YES. A thousand times YES! Also, there's this: http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/2052835205 Yeah, even LAUREN FAUST is hyped about it.
VastaKustutaYour pre-alpha is better then many current "indie" fighters release versions... Cant wait for the final product.
VastaKustutaAmazing work! I'm super impressed and looking forward to watching how this continues to develop. :)
VastaKustutaI... I'm amazed by this.
VastaKustutaAnd suddenly, the world was a much cooler place.
VastaKustutaIn fact it was about 20% cooler.
You got something wrong. It should be pre-alfalpha.
VastaKustutathey should be characters Mugen it will awesome
VastaKustutait looks totally awesome! i think the characters when 2 of the same are out at the same time should be in dark colours so its kinda like they are evil copies. Kinda like giving it a mini non stated story, then luna's double would be nightmare moon xD of course then u would need to have an option of if u wanted to play the evil version or good one on the selection screen.
VastaKustutaThis game "is gonna be so awesome" and AppleJack still the best .) but i cant wait to see the others
VastaKustutaWhy do I get the feeling that despite Twilight being the main character, Applejack is gonna be the one good for beginners? I can Twilight having problems with health and close range damage while Applejack (from the looks of the video) is good at rushdown. But still I can't wait for this to be finished, I am so gonna use Twilight!
VastaKustuta^ *I can see Twilight having problems
VastaKustutaI don't usually go for fighting games because I'm bad at them, but I would actually play this. it looks like a good game too. good jorb so far.
VastaKustutaD8 omg omg omg if you could make every character unique and not just copy paste from the next one i will buy this game 10 seconds flat and would be awesome if you made celestia : D thx and awesome work i love the speed of the game and the combos great job keep up the good work
VastaKustutaCelestia's finishing move is banish to the moon
VastaKustuta@Anonymous
VastaKustutaI'm tempted to agree with Twilight's recolor being her G1 but I think Dewdrop Dazzle would be an even better choice, after all who doesn't love Dewdrop
At about 1:44 that attack reminds me of the one Pikachu does in SSB. The original at least, I haven't played the others much.
VastaKustutaSome ideas I've been kicking around for super moves:
VastaKustutaApplejack:
"Apple Family Reunion" -- AJ kicks you into the air and tons of random Apple clan members appear to beat you up in various ways, ranging from kicks and headbutts to pies in the face, culminating with Big Mac putting the smack down.
Pinkie Pie:
I'll just say the title is "Breaking the Fourth Wall" and leave it at that. See Deadpool's super attack from MvC3 for a general idea.
Pinkamina (a different fighter from Pinkie):
"Party of One" - Pinkamina disappears and her "friends" (Rocky, Madame LeFleur, and so on) appear to punch you back and forth a bit, each one obviously being manipulated by a pair of pink hooves from off screen.
Rarity:
"Destiny" - Rarity wraps you up in fabric to keep you still, then shouts, "Dumb rock!" and drops a boulder on you.
Fluttershy:
"Animal Friends" - Fluttershy runs off the side of the screen and screams, "YOU WILL LOVE ME!", then chases a stampede of fuzzy animals over her victim.
(The Stare is probably just a regular type special move, rather than a super attack.)
Rainbow Dash:
Eh, Sonic Rainboom is kinda the obvious choice, right? So mix it up. She grabs you, flies you high into the sky, then powerbombs you back into the ground at Rainboom speed!
Twilight:
"Spell Rage" - Her eyes go white and an aura of power flares out from her. You spend the next several seconds as a variety of inanimate objects (including a potted plant) before getting hurled into the sky.
No offense, but I did not expect the game to look THIS good. My mind has been blown. Keep up the excellent work.
VastaKustutaFluttershy ought to be a difficult one to program. Not just for combat, but keeping her in character. She just doesn't seem the type to fight.
VastaKustutaHowever, as I'm experienced in playing these games, I have ideas for her to work around this complex.
-Fastest Dash Backwards. Fluttershy WOULD be the one to back out of a fight at any given moment.
-Short Dash Forward/Blind Dash. Either she would have a short dash forward or she would just shut her eyes and run, not stopping until the player presses a button. Receives damage if you run into a guard and damage the opponent a little if they aren't.
-Angel Special. She hunkers down in plea as the bunny jumps over her and latches onto the opponent. If he hits, he holds onto their heads pulling on their ears, but this does no damage. However, he will rattle them with his foot, causing them to rumble in a helpless animation. Guarding is interrupted as well as ground attacks, but aerial animations will persist.
-You are going to LOVE ME!! Considerably a form change. Her attack patterns get faster, she can double jump, regular dashes, a much more competent fighter. However, it only lasts as long as what health has been taken. So if little health is gone, the form won't last for long.
-Really strong counters. We've seen Fluttershy erupt under pressure, so this attribute can fit on her counters. It'd be unfair if she can counter on a blocked hit, so she ought to be able to pull these off on the third or more blocked hit. Give them wall bounce qualities too.
Crap, I have more ideas. But these things are probably already being developed. s:
I thInk that my reaction to this video is best summed up with, to borrow a phrase, "FUCK YEAH HOLY SHIT BITCHES THAT WAS FUCKING HARD CORE."
VastaKustutaCan't wait to play it!
JESUS CHRIST RELEASE ITTT
VastaKustutaWhat do you mean, making a good game takes time? Are you telling me to have reasonable expections?
THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE MAKING SOMETHING SO UNREASONABLY GREAT I GUESS
GIMME
If RainbowCrash88's music is this good on the whole, the SOUNDTRACK will be enough to buy this game.
VastaKustutaI can think of only one thing that'd make this even more awesome then it already is..
VastaKustuta.. if, upon completion, and with the blessing of Hasbro, they accept money for the game. But the money won't be for either of them. It would go to a children's charity, like Child's Play or the Make A Wish Foundation. So ponies could spread love and tolerance via fightin'.

VastaKustuta^ +1 to that!
I would gladly pick Applebloom and kung fu kick all their flanks!
VastaKustutaApplejack needs some earth-shattering specials.
VastaKustutaAnd now I can't help but think we'll be seeing one of the ponies in the next Mortal Kombat game.
VastaKustutaThe twist would be that, when an opponent attempts to perform a Fatality on a pony, they suddenly hesitate when said cameo looks up pleadingly at the opponent, who then breaks down into tears and hugs said pony, thus performing a "Magic Friendship", similar to the "Heroic Brutalities" in MK VS DCU.
However, the cameo pony would be entirely free to perform a gory Fatality with a cutesy smile on her face...
+9001 internets if they make "Angry" Twilight Sparkle (in Rapidash mode) and/or Pinkamena Pie as a secret characters, and have a diamond dog as a dummy in training mode. Any fighting format like Street Fighter or Guilty Gear would be fine with me.
VastaKustutaAlso, would love to see people make M.U.G.E.N. formatted character files once this goes public... who doesn't want to see Applejack beat down Ryu? Or Fluttershy pwn Broly? Or Princess Celestia vs. Terumi from Blazblue (battle of the trolls ftw)!?
PONY KOMBAT!!!!
VastaKustutaWhat everyone else said I mean holy shit this looks so amazing.
