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

As long as they have one character with Rarity’s moveset I’ll be happy with whatever they do if they make a new game.

Kinda Late but some news


Looks like Fighting is Magic is one of the games up for the Game Donation Drive for EVO 2013.
With the money going toward the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and “Brony’s” being know for raise absurd amounts of money for good causes.
There’s a damn good chance for the game to be the 8 game at EVO…

Damn, I think I hear the hate already. So whats you’re take, Thoughts and or rage on this news?

Yeah. This sounds awesome if you ask me.
The only thing I can imagine though, even though its for a good cause, would the community care enough for some pony fighting game to donate towards the cause :o
Still, that aside, hope this makes it, if not, I least hope either Skullgirls or failing that, SFIII3SOE :slight_smile:

Once I’ve heard the news about MLP: Fighting is Magic was one of the (possibly) chosen games to be featured for the EVO lineup, I was highly surprised that this fighter would even be seen in any majors; let alone tournaments in general. It caught me by surprise sure, but afterwards, I was overwhelmed with high spirits to see Fighting is Magic was on that list of player’s choice poll. Not only I’m hoping for the best for Fighting is Magic, but for other fighting games as well.

The hate was strong originally, but will be stronger if successful.

Is there any progress bar on which game is winning so far?

I’m curious to see how the game is doing… more specifically, MLP ;o

I believe its being kept a secret until they announce which game won… Seems a little silly to do it like that but Meh, whatever :slight_smile:

See ya at EVO fuckers.

I want FiM to win just so I can hear the droves of butthurt people. Seriously, any time MLP and the FGC mix outside of this thread or other Fighting is Magic stuff it’s nothing but FGC people crying and just being douches.

MFW MLP get’s picked and an outcry of non-bronies happens:

While I don’t doubt that MrWiz and Mane 6 has had contact about this, some official word from Mane 6 would be nice. Hopefully this is the motivation they need to get it done in time (main character only roster). They’re almost there already.

This should be very interesting, to say the least. I love many of the games on the bubble spot, and outside this one, really hope that VF5 or the GG game at least competes with the others, in terms of donation cash. Realistically, though, this is now set up to be those sectors of the FGC v. the MLP community, a community which has many members ready and willing to throw their weight and wallets behind this game. Statements like “It’s up against some pretty heavy hitters, including the Smash Brothers games and DoA 5” do not instill me with confidence, though. Last I heard, DoA5 was dead on arrival, in terms of community support

Don’t confuse what the stupid stream monsters say with what it really happens, for them, games like P4A are dead, despite having consistent numbers on every tournament, for example

I don’t want to sound too optimistic on this, but I really do believe that Fighting is Magic is gonna make that 8th slot. So much has been put into this game as of now.

Honestly I think this will end up being a three horse race.
WB vs Sony vs Bronies.
It would be stupid for WB and Sony to not allocate some of their advertising budget to this contest. Chance to get your game featured in the most prestigious event in the country, plus the positive publicity of donating to support cancer research.

Even so, I like our chances.

I’ll answer that in the traditional brony way, with an image macro :china:

I don’t get the appeal of the show. It’s well animated in Flash but yeah, I don’t get the fandom.

I do like this parody series though:

Yeah, love those. But the sequels never matched that first one, sadly.

For maximum chance of catching the pony bug (if you’d like to), watch more than just the first 2 eps (ep 2 especially is kinda sucky imo) or better yet start with one of the famous(or infamous) episodes like Party of One or Lesson Zero.

No thanks.

The funk’s gotta come naturally, yo. If you can’t get down with it, you can’t find your groove with it

I feel like that guy who likes the old 16 bit Sonic games and wandered into that room with the furries…

Out of curiosity, are there any advanced defensive mechanics planned for this game? Seems rushdown could potentially become a bit silly without something.
