Faust said in the last TFH livestream that TFH will be a part-time job for her. If you are bored, you might go listen to the TFH livestreams and document the questions/answers (with timestamps) for us.
Isn't it preferable that Faust take her time writing new Lore?
this looks so comfy
I'm curious how many people in this general are from /mlp/.

Because most generals are started by Rhodes Scholars.

Atry/Siden teamed up and used one referral link. If Atry/Siden went individual TW would've wont as they had to have two people working to beat him out.
Two people gaming one referral link seems a bit unfair to others.

>>25268785

Oh Anon.
>>25268032
Sad thing is they probably don't give a shit about playing the game and the toot will probably just sit in limbo on an abandoned account.
>>25268785
>TW's a girl
Next you are going to say Zone is a girl
bumping with best ungulate
>>25269389
In that event I'd suggest the following:
If the owner of the Golden Super Toots account is inactive for 3 months and they've ignored at least 5 email reminders then a tournament is held to determine the new owner of the Toot. I'd call it The GST Tournament
Contenders would compete in a standard best of 3 match with winners moving onto the next round (as mant people live in different timezones this might be hard to co-ordinate). If a shittonne of people apply we could run several sub-tournaments with the finalists of each competing in a playoff culminating in the Championship Match (which would be best of 5). The winner is then awarded the Golden Super Toot at a ceremony by TFHdevs in game (should also stream this) and there is a Roman style 1 week long orgy/party held in the lobbly.
However regarding the original owner of the toot; since the guy raised like $8000 fucking dollars there should be a clause that allows him to reclaim at any time, then maybe TFHdevs could craft a Championship Belt for the current champion.
Thoughts?
>>25270697
Fuck. My first thought is why did i namefag.
>>25270697
Hey I like the idea of having some sort of "ingame championship", where there's a belt going around, based on fixed tourney schedules. It sounds like a fun addition to normal leaderboard rankings. If they actually pulled through and managed to get dedicated servers running, and then you'd have servers where the "champions" hang around for people to challenge and fawn over... community fostering on a whole new level. Would probably be real hard to set up and maintain but it sounds like a fun little thing. On your profile it'd read that you're the current champion, maybe you can get an actual belt as a lobby accessory for the time to show off... if there's one thing I would add it's you definitely need one champion per continent though. EU people playing Americans is either uncomfortably laggy or does not work at all so having seperate EU and NA champions would make much more sense.
All that having been said - decouple it from those toots. They're a super special one time thing and should stay that way, and if someone feels like abandoning their grand price that's their choice I guess. I mean that's just how it is, if you make something special and bound to only one single account for eternity, it's gonna die out in due time. No matter what you do. Same holds true for all the "non-special" toots and party hats and OOAK accessories and stuff, all of that's gonna be less and less and less common overtime. And that's good and okay cause that's what makes them special, if these things were obligated to switch accounts overtime that would just make them lame.
And at the same time that's what would give a proposed "championship" like that all the more weight. Cause whoever is currently a champion, they are people who are actually active at the point in time, who actually defeated other active players, and they are not guaranteed their success for eternity but only for as long as they keep sticking to it and fighting for it. That's a whole new level of prestige.
Pom should have a nice butt. Pic related.
>>25270697
I think you're a bit overenthusiastic.
Can you think of ANY game where a special item given to a player as a reward as an acknowledgment of a deed done outside the game, is taken away from the player for being inactive for 3 months and then given to a random winner of an in-game tournament match?
>>25271000
top fucking KEK D::::
Anybody itt play any other fighters?Before it gets mentioned, I mean platform fighters or otherwise
>>25271005
I'd like a tournament with a "champion bell hat" or something, thou'.
>>25271291
I would not at all be against that, that sounds like a great way to engage the community.
I am however heavily opposed to taking away earned items from players just because a lot of other players want it.
>>25270697
>>25270743
>>25271291
I tried to ask one of the devs about automated online tournaments a bunch of times, but I guess my question got lost.
Something like Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2 do - have a weekly tournament at fixed times that people can sign up for in advance, and when it starts, they compete against a number of other players within their skillrange.
The tournament mode could change every week or depend on the amount of players that signed up, but Round Robin and Single/Double elimination (or both combined) would probably work best, seeing how you can do those with as few as 8 players, but also with 32 or more. Naturally, there could also be "global" tournaments that ignore the skill range and everyone can fight everyone, but I imagine it's more fun for average players to actually have a chance of winning.
As for the price - the normal tournaments could either grant the winner (and to a lesser extent people who make it far) things like a lot of additional rating points or little lobby accessories, while the global ones decide the new owner of the Super Toot, a champion belltheb eltor something, but you can get crazy with ideas regarding the rewards.
In general I've always preferred the automated tournaments over the ones organized by other players because you have to wait for opponents way longer, have to contact admins, manage your account on their site, etc.
>>25271751
I don't know, a tournament once every 3 months that's not automated sounds more enticing to me than weekly automated ones. If there actually was a global champion title to be upheld, and if that champion was determined not by some bot but actually by a judge who can make sure the brackets are actually filled with real people, could rule out people with terrible connection / make people rematch if the connection just fluked or whatever, that makes the tournament way more meaningful. Winning it or even only doing okay in a tournament like that would mean that much more than if it was just an automated weekly thing.
Like you would also have way more people competing if it was a rare special occasion. You couldn't really do skill matching like that but I mean what worth is there in a tournament where just a couple of people compete who are just as good as you. What kind of "tournament" is that. Where capable people are kept away from you so you can pretend to do really good. But if there was one huge global tourney (or at least continentals) then even just doing okay would feel like a big achievement, like if you just won some rounds - and losing wouldn't feel terrible. Cause you know you're thrown in one pot with the big dogs either way. That's what a tournament is really, some people win and some people lose and the thing that makes either outcome meaningful is to look at how strong your competitiors are in comparison to you. If I'm matched with people on my skill level then winning doesn't mean shit and losing feels terrible... if there's one guy I don't want to play in a tournament it's the guy who's exactly as strong as I am. One of the players is gonna feel ass and the other player is gonna feel hardly accomplished.
>>25271865
Good points. The global one might as well be managed by people and only be held a few times year to make it more interesting.
However, I'd still keep the "small" tournaments with the skill range. If I know I'm going to play ranked matches for the next 1-2 hours, I might as well make it interesting with a tournament instead of just having all of them be single, unrelated matches with no special tension. Even with the skillrange in place, it's still a unique experience because it doesn't happen every day and you can actually win some cool stuff rather than just rating points. Besides, even with tournaments organized by sites, there are still occasional beginner or amateur tournaments. Also, if you play ranked matches, you'll be playing opponents of your skill level all the time and will be happy about winning while not feeling bad about losing.
I understand that there are people who would rather play in one bracket with the best players in the world, but honestly, I don't see the fun in just being dependant on luck. You either get a few rounds of beatable opponents and make it far, or have a strong player right of the bat and be eliminated in the very first round, so your tour is over after 3 minutes. Making it far still doesn't say anything about your skill - it only shows how much or little luck you had with your place in the bracket, and you'll always know there is no way in hell you'll ever get close to first place unless you belong to the best.
As for the connection problem - I think that's something both versions of tournaments will have a tough time dealing with, and it depends on your luck with the admin on whether he considers your opponent's connection to be sufficient or not, while you may think it's barely playable. If you know your internet just had a short derp and you'd like a rematch, you could always implement the option of replaying the match if your opponent agrees. (cont.)
>>25271978
(cont. here) If an opponent agrees to replaying the match in a non-automated tournament, he'll agree to it in an automated one as well. The only thing missing would be the admin, and again, summoning him usually takes a long time and holds up the whole tournament sooner or later.
Naturally, tastes differ and all. You're not forced to participate in the automated ones and can stick to the type you prefer. They won't affect each other, so I think it'd be nice to have both.
>>25271056

Yeah I was just throwing the idea out there. Atryl is a busy dude, his Patreon pays $2000+ a month. His comissions will lead him to other series' where he may get attached and spend more of his time meaning he may lose intrrest in TFH quickly. But the item belongs to him, if the toot is destined to stay on an inactive account thats its fate. Im sure the Devs will come up with new and fun items for us tofawnover.
I really like how this tournament is evolving though, hope something comes of it.

Since I've started hearing about this game again recently, is it close to release or something? Have any characters other than Literally Applejack and Literally Rarity been shown? Is it actually good?
>>25286461
Literally Mane 6 have been revealed, it got tons of funding (we're gonna get goat). It should be released in around two years.
>>25286503
I found Literally Fluttershy, Literally Pinkie Pie and Probably Twilight. Has Rainbow Dash's moveset been combined with someone else's and used for one of these characters?
>two years
Are you bamboozling me?
>>25286461
The crowdfund just finished a week ago or so. They're going to be on an 18 month dev cycle, so the game will probably be out in early/mid 2017 if everything goes well (lol). As far as characters, yes it's just been Arizona and Velvet that are the most finished so far but If you go look at the streams on their youtube page you can see some very early versions of Paprika (Pinkie) and Oleander (Twilight). As far as lore and designs we've also seen Pom (Fluttershy) and Tianhuo (RD), you can see those on the indiegogo page. There's also some lore on mane6's website.
>>25286527
Oleander = Twilight
Velvet = Rarity
Arizona = AJ
Paprika = Ponka
Tianhuo = RD
Pom = Fluttershy
Goat = Hadn't been decided when FiM got the C&D, but the moveset existed.
And yes, they are aiming for a 2017 release.

>>25286582
>Also, why is this on /mlp/?
Mods specifically said so. No other reason, really. We asked them to leave and go to /vg/, but were denied.
>>25286591

That's fucking retarded. Someone should ask a mentally sane moderator about it. Funny how they allow CYOAs there even though they should be on /tg/, but a non-pony video game has to have a general on /mlp/.
According to /v/ Kirby is now a MLP character as well if you use any images of him from the leak even if there are no pony characters.

Ridiculous. I loved the magic mirror one. Anyone know why they're getting uppity over Kirby now?
>>25286639
Is there a unicorn enemy or something?
>>25286718
No there was apparently a Kirby MLP crossover that was supposed to happen in S4, /v/ believes it to be real and believes anything that came from it violates GR15.
>>25286639
It's funny. I've been around since the start of FiM but somehow I never understood the obsession and hate it and the people that liked it got.
I never displayed my liking for it, but I visited forums, 4chan and my Steam friend list are by the hundreds, with Skype being the same.
And yet I never saw any widespread obnoxiousness that people like to claim existed. At most, I've had people suggesting I should watch it but never anything beyond that. In forums, MLP fags stayed in their own threads, same with here on 4chan from what I remember, though there was problems with multiple threads but that's hardly unusual when something is hyped up.
Most fans did however use pony avatars and the like though, and there was of course plenty of crossovers and this is what I assume people are thinking of when they say that the "Fanbase is so obnoxious". If that is the case, said people are the most butthurt, oversensitive faggots there is and should probably stick to goddamn tumblr. If you can't handle people having avatars of shit you don't like or doing the same thing every other fandoms does, you should probably just fuck off and stick to socializing on reddit or something.
Seriously, I've never seen any actual proof. Yes, there have and still exist retards that take it too far and try to push it onto everyone, but I feel that the hate MLP got was mainly due to being girly and colourful. Triggered by the technicolor horses I suppose.
>>25286745
wait... so if we ponify EVERYTHING does that mean GR15 is redundant?
>>25286783
Kirby wasn't a pony, anything from the leaked material involving Kirby violates GR15 in their minds.
>>25286780
>It's funny. I've been around since the start of FiM but somehow I never understood the obsession and hate it and the people that liked it got.
There were a few reasons:
>people really liked it and were VERY vocal about it
>people who didn't like it or didn't watch it hated it for being "shit for little girls"
Imagine /pol/ and /lgbt/ having to share a board (like /mlp/ and /co/ used to) and there you go. It's bad press and a vocal community, same reason GamerGate is so hated.
>>25286783
It means if anything vidya related comes into FIM or EQG, anything within the context of that crossover is in violation.
>>25286783
Everything has already been ponified, we just need to make all of it official.
I can post a sample thread if you guys don't believe me.
>>25286821
But TFH never did.
Clearly, it only needs to be very slightly related via something like canceled plans.
If that Kirby crossover really was being planned at some point, Kirby should be banned from 4chan.

Which is ironic, since Nintendo fans haven't been banned from /v/ yet.
>>25286815
Yeah, people talked about it from what I remember it was still in threads designated for it so I never quite got the problem. Then again, I never had the mindset that some people here seem to have. If there are threads about shit I don't like or am not interested in, I just don't go to them and instead go to threads about shit I like.
This however seem to be a very rare skill for some reason.
I do imagine there was people that possibly brought MLP up in other threads as a related tangent or something like that.
Or they shitposted. Pony is the easiest way to shitpost due to how butthurt everyone gets at the sight of purple smart.
I made a thread on /v/ to prove the Kirby thing.
>>25286878

And a phrase that has not been used anywhere in the show and is just a reference to something unrelated.
>the movesets of both FiM and TFH characters mirror each other
That is not a pony, and these movesets have not been used in the show.
It used to be an MLP game before they completely rebuilt it. It has no pony characters, no pony music, no pony sprites, no pony references, nothing related to ponies.
Meanwhile, game with unicorns are allowed on /v/, even though according to the retards who banned Filly Funtasia from /co/, they should only be talked about here.
The fact is, moderators are fucking retarded and should start having actual discussions before pulling unwritten rules out of their asses where the rest of their opinions are. You can quote me on that.

why the fuck does it matter where it goes? /v/ won't discuss it, we all know this. Honestly, it's a blessing that it was forced here.
>>25287189
>>25287206
It's not like we have much of a chance anyway. As far as people who don't watch the show are concerned, the game is ponyshit and should stay on /mlp/, no matter how little sense it makes.
We should just hope for another Hiro Q&A and get to ask him early enough. He seems to be trying to reply to almost everyone, unlike moot.
>>25287213
It's not pony related. It shouldn't be bumping an actual pony thread to page 10 on a fucking pony board.
Not only that, but it would receive much more publicity on /v/ and this general would fit better on /vg/.
>>25287213
Are you not seeing how they are responding to Kirby?
>>25287234
>It's not pony related.
the mods said TFH and its characters are treated as pony, though.

>>25287263
The mods also said CYOAs should stay on /tg/ and still allowed them on /v/ (even though some mods delete them and others protect them).
The mods also said Filly Funtasia is MLP.
The mods also made the global rule say that literally everything related to any kind of a pony should be posted to /mlp/, but still kept them on /an/.
The mods also barely communicate and some of them have personal grudges, like banning Sony discussion on /v/ at times, or banning TFH from video game boards.
>>25287291
I think half of them are us.
Haven't been here in a while. Has there been a confirmation that there will only be 6 free characters and a 7th one that's free for backers, and all characters that might be created after that will be DLC?
>>25287392
There hasn't really been official word on how the DLC characters are gonna work yet. Chances are that's still far from figured out even for the devs. The only thing that's for certain is backers will not have to pay for the goat.
>>25287437
>DLC characters planned
>for a game that isn't even close to being finished yet
Are they retarded?
>>25287453
They simply said they'll add more characters later but the game at first will have 7.
>>25287392
Not officially, but it seems obvious. We know that when the game's released, there will only be 6 characters and the goat will be DLC some time after the initial release (but like you said, it'll be free for backers since it was a stretch goal). So apparently any other character in the future will be DLC for everyone.
I was hoping for 8-9 myself, but what can you do. It's just a shame that we'll never see their full 17 characters (might be more, but I think they said 17 in their FAQ back when FiM was a thing) roster with all the ideas they had.
>>25287453
God, people are triggered by the term "DLC" nowadays.
6 characters was the initial plan, but the crowdfund had a stretch goal for a 7th one. In any case they will get the base game out before working on the 7th one though, and then release that one (which again, is already funded!) afterwards, and it's going to be free for all the people who backed the crowdfund.
Characters after that are not confirmed or even only hinted at. They said there's a possiblity they might make profits with the sales and reinvest that into creating additional content, or they might get a publisher to fund further development, but that's just pipedreams at the moment. It's just more characters would be really really really cool, and frankly, necessary if this game wants to be taken seriously, because a roster of 7 is damn slim. But they aren't being delusional about this.
>>25287291
that is from 2013
>>25287527
If it costs like 10 cents, fine, but DLC is always heavily overpriced, and releasing paid DLC will only hurt their game.
>>25287581
Skullgirls charged $5 for each new character. I think that's what we can expect for this game as well.
>>25287599
Skullgirls characters were also hand-drawn for every frame, while TFH characters look like they were animated in Flash.
>>25287618
True. Also, Skullgirls already started out with more characters, so a cheaper price for the TFH fighters would be justified.
>>25287599
Why don't they do it based on sales after release? If they sell enough units, then the DLC is subsidized.
>>25287654
That would hurt their sales further if they sold too little.
>>25287599
I love SG to death, got more than 1000 hours of playtime, but fuck the characters are overpriced. I mean I got all of them when they were free and there's sales all the time where you can get them for a fraction of the price, but come the fuck on when the base game is 15 bucks you can't expect people to pay 5 for one additional character.
>>25287757
you pay $5 for fuckin lunch at basically anywhere unless you really cheap it out
>>25287851
Yeah and I get a hell of a lot more out of that than some pixels. The price just stands in no relation to what I'm getting.
>>25287851
And you pay hundreds of dollars for electronic devices, why would you have issues with paying shitloads of money for additional characters for a game cheaper than all of its DLC, amirite guys?
>>25287618
they stated in streams that TFH is drawn frame by frame. something like 3 frames stacked ontop of each other. It's why they can't add accessories to the in match models.
>>25287903
>It's why they can't add accessories to the in match models.
The game engine must be really shit if it doesn't allow programmers to attach an object to a specific position on a 2D sprite.
I mean, that's some really basic shit.
>>25287903
it's not hand drawn, they have models set up in flash that they animate
it's less work than skullgirls but it's still a lot of fuckin work
>>25287926
Surprise, making games is a lot of work.
Even 2D indie games take a lot of time to make. That doesn't mean you should pay so much for them.
>>25287922
no, they CAN attach objects... it's just then that object has to be added/adjusted to every single frame of every single animation where it would be visible
it winds up being a ton of work just for one thing, let alone multiple accessories for different characters
>>25287313
>>The mods also made the global rule say that literally everything related to any kind of a pony should be posted to /mlp/, but still kept them on /an/.
Anything that might make the special snowflakes even think of a pony and therefore trigger them so they develop PTSD.
>>25287953
It really astounds me how many people are still so butthurt after so many years.
>>25287392
Ask again in 1 year or so. Maybe they overestimated the time they require now that some of them are doing this full time and we'll end up getting one or two more characters at the release after all. Very unlikely, sure, but who knows.
>>25287942
5 dollars really isn't much
and that's still just out guesstimate, it could be around 2,50 for all we know
Pom's background story should be tonight, yes?
>>25289146
I don't even know anymore.
Jeez, just bought Skullgirls because it was on sale, and I'm remembering how bad I am starting out on six button fighters. Thank god TFH is only 4 and a magic button.
>>25288185
This artist has a much better time drawing these characters, because now the cow noses actually fit.
Seeing how we got another year or two and some change left until official release. How would you guys feel if Mane6 decided to change some of the characters design, lore, and name?
Is the Anon who was part of Maneframe and Smash Ponies still around? I finally checked these projects out and wanted to know if the gameplay the show in videos like this one is actually how the game is going to look when it's out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J4Q_jCIGfQ&t=48s
The movements just don't look fluent at all, and there's a lack of animations when you land a hit. But I guess the fact that they felt the need to put in wavedashing and all their beloved ATs already shows where their priorities are.
>>25290225
Velvet and Arizona are perfect, they need to properly decide on an official palette for Velvet though.
Paprika and Oleander's designs are great, but Paprika in particular could use a better official palette and I'm still on the fence regarding Oleander's palette.
Pom and especially Tiramisu could do with some design alterations. Them being the most unfinished characters also makes them most viable for design changes before they get to actual animating.
>>25290324
That's why they were rebuilding the game, but they were not drastically redoing the animations, which is what I had an issue with.
I could go on and on about what was wrong with that game if you really want to, but I think part of the reason that game is in development hell is because of completely backwards game design.
>>25290357
>but they were not drastically redoing the animations
Yeah, I've read that they switched to the Unreal engine, but I'm afraid they won't improve the game much if they're not gonna take another look at the animations.
>I could go on and on about what was wrong with that game if you really want to
I'd be very interested in it, but I assume people would complain that it's off-topic, so if you don't feel like writing it all down, I'd understand.
>>25290425
Well, it's not like there's much else going on in the thread right now.
Go on Humanfag, regale us with your story.
>>25290356
>Tiramisu
I thought her name was Tianhuo.
>>25290425
I was pretty much kicked off for complaining about the design changes, and complaining that not enough effort was put into making it like Smash.
At one point I was told by one of the programmers or artist (I am too lazy to dig through my Skype logs) that they weren't interested in the Smash hardcore crowd and stated they were outright not interested in the Smash competitive crowd at all (calling them whiny babies).
I was in charge of training and leading several animators to help get designs for RD's animations done that I had helped plan out. We got pretty far, but I began realizing at some point that I had no damn control over the moves I was not directing. This also meant that shit was repeated, like there were two different special fall animations.
I lost my patience because despite designing moves, I had no idea how they planned to make this game feel like, and stubbornly I began to demand that they give me a clear idea as to what I was making or I would quit.
I began to notice as well other issues, there was a demand to put in items rather than put in basic character animations, items that the team had no idea how the characters would hold as they never anticipated how that would work (they would just float on the character's back).
I also realized that animations I had planned and made (for some) such as TECHING and SIDESTEPPING were NOT overlooked, they were not designed to be in. I asked why they weren't in and I was told that's because the game isn't a Smash clone. I asked how the game was supposed to play like and I was pretty much told Smash, but not Smash.
I'm not even exaggerating, I don't know how this game played like aside from an early tech demo.
>>25290947
>they weren't interested in the Smash hardcore crowd and stated they were outright not interested in the Smash competitive crowd at all (calling them whiny babies).
That honestly surprises me, seeing how they felt the need to include things like wavedashing and other ATs.
>there was a demand to put in items rather than put in basic character animations
Damn, those really are shit priorities, and it perfectly explains why the game looks so unfinished even to this day.
Thanks for the inside look, Humanfag. With that lack of planning in the project it seems they didn't even realize themselves what kind of game they were going to make. They just... made... a game. I imagine it could play like a bizarre blend of ideas (if players can get past the choppy animations).
If I had had any hopes for this game, they'd have been shattered by now. Naturally I'll still give it a chance - it's free after all, so why not -, but by now it's more out of interest about what they'll end up delivering.
>>25291097
Dude I am not even close to being done. I can tell you several more stories if you would like.
>>25291097
There's a whole story I need to tell you about how RD needed to have a projectile suddenly because her pulling a guitar out for her side smash was unrealistic as there was no place for her to put it away.
I'm not making that up, it gave a character that was designed to be up close and personal an anti-air move where she didn't need to leave the ground.
>>25292086
Tongdong the fire dragong
>>25293329
I'm really looking forward to her lore
Probably going to take a month, but not like there's any rush
>>25290324
Whoever those people are... that video is fucking retarded
A 4 minute "dev log", do they even talk about the game? No. "We got a lot done, like the AI system! Btw we're awesome and you should come see us at Bronycon!"
And to top it off probably half of that time was spent on cringeworthy humor and jokes
Fuck them and their game that will probably never come out anyway
>>25271056
I main Guilty Gear, sometimes play Street Fighter, and do combo-stuff in SFxT, BB and Skullgirls not so often.
I have to retrain myself from keyboard to and arcade stick to be able to actually play Xrd on the arcades. Keyboard is a vastly superior input device tho.
>>25290788
Her name is obviously Tyranitar, Anon. Get your shit together, there's barely 6 characters, for fuck's sake.
>>25271056
FiM was the first one I played, and I was surprised by how simple and easy to pick up it was. After a few days of practicing combos and stuff I was able to stand up to the [dp] guys, snatching wins against all of them at some point (except one of them to whom I had a terrible connection).

fuck those assholes, that project will fail and rot because they are not even delivering what they promised
>>25295979
There was no teching
>>25295995
teching is pretty important, even in "non-competitive" matches vs AI
saying they aren't adding it is retarded
>>25296042
To live up to my namesake, I also wanted to add Normal Norman as a WTF character and the Equestria Girls rep.
I wanted to pad the stage roster by having stages from other Hasbro properties as stages (a Battleship Stage, Downtown City, Lite-Brite, Canterlot High, and Cybertron) were all stages I had suggested.
Crossovers were shot down because "crossovers are terrible" and "we don't want to make another Double Rainboom" to which I pointed out the hypocrisy when I stated that Smash Bros. was one big giant crossover.
Normal Norman was shot down because I was informed that a human attacking ponies was considered too violent to Hasbro and this is when I learned that things would need to be tweaked because certain things in Smash Bros. would be too violent and the project would get taken down, so I decided to make things super silly to get around having things be violent.
>>25296130
I kinda agree that having stuff out of the MLP IP would dilute the whole thing, though. I think there's enough scenarios to pick from in the show, so adding stuff from other shows would be unnecessary at best.
While I personally like the idea of having the human waifus fighting, I feel that ponies and human characters wouldn't really mix well in gameplay/aesthetically.
In any case, I wish them good luck with the game, even if I don't think it'll go anywhere.
>>25296437
It would work with gameplay. Smash Bros. has the most diverse looking roster of any fighting game.
Image from el-yeguero.tumblr.com
>>25296461
Right, but Smash *Ponies* would have two distinct character body types. While it works in Smash because it just looks like a random mess of shapes and colors, it'd be more of a Ponies vs Humans in a less diverse cast.
Before you mention the other species in Equestria, I'd like to mention how you'd probably have at the very least 10 different ponies, their human counterparts, and *one* catbird, *one* donkey (if Cranky even makes it to the game), *one* phoenix, etc. In Smash, I find that each body type looks pretty different, beyond colors and hairstyles, even while being the same species.
>>25297922
There was only going to be Normal Norman, he was the only rep for EQG. I didn't think there needed to be anyone else.
>>25297641
Just a little more hair and she could be king.
