Have you guys heard of Daring Do and the Jungle of Terror?
It’s a “parody” made by /mlp/ on 4chan.
It’s exactly how you would imagine something written by them.
And you can buy this paperback on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Daring-Do-Jungle-Terror-1/dp/1481105922/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1356157113&sr=1-1

Product description for the lazy:
“This story was composed in late November, 2012 on the 4chan board /mlp/. It is not an official My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic product. It is not anything. It is best described as a parody, but to say it is a parody is to say it is something, which is far too charitable. The best way to describe this “book” is as excrement passed through the roiling bowels of the Internet, somehow finding its way into your house like a backed up toilet. In no way should this be considered anything other than the babbling of deranged madmen, having no meaning or method to its insanity. This is pure shitposting at its worst. Absolutely no quality control was present. There are no redeeming features here, save a few shining gems in an ocean of piss. The text of this vile shit is public domain. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is © to Hasbro inc, but this is technically parody, so whatever.”

Wow, considering I can’t get through the description without wanting to smash my head into a wall, I doubt the story itself would be at all worth reading.

THAT WAS THE BEST EPISODE EVER!!! THE WRITERS WERE SO SMART IN GIVING APPLEJACK HER OWN EPISODE!!!
I WONDER WHY THERE ISN’T MORE APPLEJACK?!?!

Maximum BRB lvl2 super?

2645

I’ve been meaning to ask the Dev team but I haven’t had enough time to do so. I wanted to ask if there’s any possibility that for super animations, you could have a throwback to the old MvC games where it would show artwork as the super flash?

I think it’s a very neat idea and I absolutely love the art for this game but I have no idea if you can implement it.

2646

That would be a really cool idea. Like, special splash images for each character when they’re performing a super. If you’re feeling really masochistic, a different splash for each special.

2647

I think it’s possible. I played a game on FM2k that had some art show up when doing lv3 supers.

2648

the last few episodes of season 3 have been really fucking awesome

GameSpot has an article about the game here: http://www.gamespot.com/features/the-most-unlikely-fighter-youve-never-heard-of-6402004/?tag=Topslot%3BMlpFightingIsMagic%3BTheMostUnlikelyFighter%3BReadMore

I was about to post that up.

It was front page on the site (or still is?)

2651

It’s still on the front page. I sent a tip to the SRK news guys, hopefully they put it up on the front page.

2652

Are those new screenshots in the article?
I don’t recall Fluttershy being playable in anything we’ve seen so far.

2653

They mention having thought about an original fighting game, in case Hasbro complains / after this one. That’s very interesting imo, the team is extremely talented.
I wonder if it would be an original take on ponies (change style a tiny bit, no cutie marks, original characters - should be legally sound), or something completely different and more human-y. Either one would be good of course.

2654

Shout outs to you, King9999. It was a success! <3

2655

I got into this show just because of this game and it’s really good! I really hope they will release this game this year!

2656

So I came into this thread to see how this community is reacting to the recent news or whatever about the game and. . . . REALLY? You’re trolling me right? You’re just fucking with me, you have to be. The show’s TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC IS LITTLE GIRLS, yes they’re going to fucking WRITE IT FOR LITTLE GIRLS. If you came to this show for some incredibly well written characters that aren’t 1-Dimensional, then this isn’t the show for you. I’m not coming here to start trouble or anything but this post just. . . . I can’t even.

2657

You crack me up guy

2658

HeeHee, all these comments are so fun.
I love how Jay was messing with the people in the articles comments.
“Well the comments here are 12 class levels above the gamespot ones… thanks guys!”

2659

Wooosh!
Before raging on the internet, always do a proper irony/sarcasm scan. :wink:

And the characters in MLP have more dimensions than most “grown up” media, imo… I absolutely hated Rarity at first, but as she developed I started to identify with her and find her faults funny and endearing (Suited For Success was probably the big turning point). She’s now my favorite character by far. An emotional 180 on that character, can’t remember the last time that happened.
The extreme difficulty of deciding which pony you like the least is testament to how well written they are.
