Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
So, there was apparently a panel for My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic at a recent con, and they posted links to videos of it on their site.
Some interesting information:
- Applejack builds her magic power by hitting with her rope, which appears to be a command grab that she can use at a few different angles, and which they say leaves the enemy in position for a mixup.
- AJ's magic can be used to perform a counterattack when she blocks an enemy attack. This costs two magic meters.
- AJ's stomp attack is unblockable, but only hits on the ground, and costs one (magic?) meter.
- One of AJ's supers has her charging in a manner similar to Spencer's Bionic Arm from MvC3.
- AJ is the most powerful character damage-wise, but only on the ground. Her air attacks are much weaker.
- Twilight builds magic by reading her book, and this gives her access to more special moves, including traps and an energy ball that causes wallbounce.
- Twilight "can't take very many hits" - so she's probably a low-hp character.
- Twilight's teleports seem to move her a set distance forward or back.
- Rarity and Pinkie are incomplete in that their magic and supers haven't been implemented yet, and Rarity apparently doesn't have a walking animation yet, but they were playable.
- Rarity is a more long-range character, with her fabric making her normals reach further, and is apparently able to lay traps as well, with the one that they showed being a gemstone that sat onscreen for a moment before shooting off like a projectile. Sounds like she'll be a zoning-style character.
- Pinkie is a charge character (her special moves require holding the joystick in a direction to "charge up" before she can use them). They also said she is very combo-centric, and won't do much damage with just individual hits.
- Pinkie's attacks are very goofy, and include having her lick her opponents.
- Rarity's theme plays in video 4, when they show Rarity's stage, but is very hard to hear past the audience background noise, the comments from panel, and the sound effects from the game itself. According to a mini-FAQ they posted on their site, this should be up on Youtube soon (though not from the composer of AJ and Twilight's themes, from their second composer, called DJ Derpy Hooves).
- There was no mention at all of Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash. I'm guessing that means they're the most incomplete at this point.

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
Oh, hear's a scary thought: there is not a visable external trigger. Thanks to there telekinesis, they could handle very large guns above there back, or, if nessisary, connected to a harness on there back.
Such a gun might seem strange to another creature, but they quickly figured out if the apponent could not use there weapons without modifing them they could not use it themselves. They, in fact, use a piller-like object inside the gun as the "trigger", pushing and pulling on it to fire and reload, respectivly.
Also, a small amount of names, use them as you may. Probably not what your looking for, but might as well post them.
Evernfine Everfree
Magrousa Ursa Major
Aplenusai Take a guess...
Sebr'rifil Zebra Rifle
Pishoute Pie Shooter.
Cemelboc Camel-Back. Probably a realy big gun.

@AotRS: I agree with what was posted above. If I were an intelligent telekinetic I would make military hardware only another telekinetic would be able to use, especially if my enemies were unlikely to have access to TK.

Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
Haha! Little did you realize that my time spent faking my way through engineering work has rendered me immune to electric attacks! It's just not very effective!

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
What could Pinkie Pie possibly do to hurt me?
Charger: Faking being an engineer makes you immune to electricity?
Mask: Yep. You didn't know?
Charger: Urghhhh. Now I'm going to have to have a kung fu battle with a shirtless man...
*Charger strikes the ground once, and the air seems to vibrate and hum. It settles over everything, a thick, heavy, smothering vibration that slows all movement around her. With a flick of her wrists, her sleeves tear open to reveal a line of razor sharp white feathers along the back of her forehooves. Tiny droplets of water and gleaming white feathers surround her*
"Water Dragon Style!"
*Magical transformation sequence complete, Charger hesitates for a moment. Then the sky cracks overhead, and as the first drop of rain falls she kicks off the ground and is on the offensive!*Last edited by Thanqol; 2012-01-13 at 10:18 PM.

Mare In The Mirror p4: Quadrangles and Inappropriate Music
Spoiler
P7:
...
Okay that was ace start to finish and I don't have the whisper of a complaint.
P8:
Still managed to read that without tripping up on anything.
P9:
A little expositiony at the start, but that's a quibble, and a recap at that point isn't objectionable because a lot just happened.
Rarity knelt down and smiled at the two young fillies, "Please call me Rarity, dears."
I have to say, last night I was gearing myself up to write something along the lines of "Diluted focus, improper seeding and follow-through mishaps have significantly harmed the strong points of this story, four stars". But these last three parts just worked for me, start to finish; the story's really hit it's stride right here. I really hope the rest of the story keeps up this level of quality!

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
This line of thinking assumes that unicorn telekinesis can go through solid objects. It could work like D&D spells where you need a line of effect to the object manipulated with telekinesis, in which case the firing mechanism could be finely manipulated but would still have to be external. In that case I would suggest some kind of pressure plate that looks more or less identical to the rest of the surface and has a small and very delicate safety so that if the weapon were lost, it would be quite difficult to reverse engineer it.
Elan, is that you?

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
Well yes, but grapplers in fighting games tend to be big characters who are much more reliant on their grabs than other characters. Anyone can have a throw - in most fighting games, everyone does - but that doesn't make them a grappler.

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
I would a slide system. it would be very hard to hold and aim, slide and fire for anything without TK to use these weapons. Also, sliding back (assuming balistics are being used) would act as the release for shells. Slide all the back for automatic fire, half way for Burst. also then the sides are in place it helps enviorment-proof the weapon, allowing for for say, desert warfare, or aquatic insertion. I imagine the weapons to be long and slim, not needing all the hand holds and stocks and weight balancing that human weapons need.
I also imagine these "ponies" would design there weapons for improvization, easily swapping out pieces to mod their weapons as needed, or even combine them into bigger ones. Such as taking 2 mid range rifles and turning them into a sniper rifle.

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
I'm not afraid of Pinkie Pie. I would gladly emotionally manipulate her into becoming depressed Pinkamina again, just to stop her annoying noise, parties and singing. I hate all three, and prefer the quiet.
How would I do this?

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
Seeing the sudden revelation of a masterful execution of the Water Dragon Style, Ido tenses deep in his horse stance. With one arm he balances his oar across his shoulders, blade pointing like a defensive phoenix at his foe.
Suddenly, a low rumble behind him catches one of his many points of attention. A reflexive dodge, and an ... apple cobbler? rockets over his left shoulder. Ido has scare time to be confused as a second rumble announces a second volley. Ido pivots, turns, and releases his coiled up energy. The oar's blade slices through the air as easily as water, gingerly caressing a key lime out of its parabolic flight. He plants his foot midswing, and with an upward thrust, sends the sky pieward wait that doesn't make sense wait it's happening anyway?!?Last edited by Capt. Ido Nos; 2012-01-13 at 11:36 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
Mask: Ha! Joke's on you! I have no pride!
Charger's hoof touches the pie flung in her direction, and instantly it dessicates into sand as the purified water is extracted from it's structure! The water revolves around Charger once, then extends out into six tentacles of liquid, each of which snares a different pie. The pies are then thrown at Ido simultaneously from different directions!
If there is a bright side to this, it's that some of the sand got in Charger's eyes, momentarily distracting her!
