MLP: Fighting Is Magic - A Fighting game for manly men only (New characters from MLP creator?!)

On Sunday?

According to the schedule, they should be doing interviews/panels with indie game devs today between 10am and 12pm PST. Maybe they’re still getting things set up for the panels. Either way, everything about the evo demo sounds pretty awesome, hopefully it’ll get a little show time during the indie stream.

The magics are very varied between characters. Some have 3 some have 6 some have 10. Some recharge with moves, some recharge automatically, some don’t recharge etc. Rarity’s magic is in place. Things may change but that comes down to testing! We’ll show more next week!

Remember that none of us are actually there though! We really just couldn’t pass up the opportunity at least for our GAME to be there :slight_smile:

We love you Jay Wright. Draw me Twilight Sparkle please!!!

Also… uh… you guys gonna let us play the build over at the brony con in Austin, Texas? :smiley:

Been watching the stream for a while. Good lord Applejack. You hit like a train and everything goes so well together. Not sure if she is just the most polished or the rest are just really complex (as in the players don’t know what they are doing).

Yo dawgs,I have 9 hours, 57 minutes of the stream recorded!
Ima put it on YouTube sometime. (That’s 55.6 gigabytes!)

I literally laughed out loud when I saw Pinkie’s level 3 super.
Also, I fucking love the character select screen. I couldn’t image making something that badass.
I was going to ask some questions, but I’ve got a feeling they’ll all be answered on the Pon-E3 stream.

Edit: FUUUU- “Uploading your video: 3016 minutes remaining”

Some thoughts they may or may not be accurate, purely based on experience:

Throws are damn strong, seem like they are 1 frame with a very small throw invul window after blockstun ends, although they have a whiff animation unlike st/marvel style. Teching window seems pretty large so that offsets it.

Inputs are hella specific and it has some of the same problems VP had in that regard, it’s managable though.

There didn’t seem to be a traditional super jump option in the game, but if you used an attack as soon as you jumped you would fly up higher.

You can use as many air normals as your jump allows like marvel.

Twilight’s jumping heavy is great, has really good active frames and ground bounces. Her normals in general seem really good.

There is some reverse chaining in the game. In the air twilight can do j.MLH as an air string and I believe she can chain her 3h launcher into 5m which makes it safe on block.

A lot of moves whiff on crouchers, they are generally antiairs. Pinkie pies launcher has as ridiculous vertical hitbox as it looks but it completely whiffs against opponents on the ground.

This game has maaaad crossups, and street fighter 4/ Arcana Heart 3 corners. Silly mixups.

It takes a while to warm up to the game and it’s still a bit rough around the edges but it’s pretty fun. Twilight’s mines were the coolest thing for me to use cause they are like ammy’s paper in marvel except way the fuck better. They last an insanely long time and if you put them high in the air they drift down all the way to the ground and stay there, active the entire way (and don’t disappear if twilight gets hit). Not to mention laying them in the air effect’s Twilight’s air trajectory and she can attack right after it so I can only imagine the silly things you can do with that move. You do have to charge magic to use them, so it’s not horribly broken.

Not my picture, pulled it from elsewhere, but got a question. If playing this on a keyboard, will four buttons be sufficient for directions or will a full eight be required, like on the numeric keypad? To activate that Eruption Gem motion, will a keyboard player be required to input:
[LIST=1]
[]F, D, D + F + attack? (4 direction keys)
[
]F, D, DF + attack? (8 direction keys)
[/LIST]
Sure, hooking up a compatible USB joystick into the computer simplifies things, but if someone doesn’t have a stick and wants to try it out, which technique will they use?

Look up Hitbox on youtube, it’s like a controller that functions similarly to a keyboard. It should give you an idea that a keyboard should be sufficient enough, if not better to play any fighting game

Dark Pinkie Rises…

I played some other FM2k games and I could do dragon punches fine with WASD or the arrow keys. Also, where did you get this picture? I would like to see the other character’s movelists.

DPs are super easy on a keyboard. Just do F, D, F and you’re good.

Also what the hell happens on Pinkie’s level 3 super after she hugs the other player? Does she suck the happy out of the other pony until she’s not emo anymore? Cause that’s what it looked like to me.

4chan /mlp/. That was the only one they posted in that thread.

Been watching the fuck out of that stream. I’ll post my thoughts on the new build when I’ve actually had a minute to collect my thoughts.

In the meantime, OMG RAINBOW DASH STAGE, KoF ESQUE HOPS, BUSTER HOOF, PINKIE AND RARITY MAGIC, PINKAMINA INSTALL and so forth, GET FUCKING HYPE!

You forgot one thing…

BIONIC!!! FAAARRRMMM!!!
