If someone is watching it to try and be ironic or fit in, however, they can die in a fire.

No, I just took a quick look to see what MSpaint was about. All I saw was a webcomic/RPG parody thing. I just assumed it was a since it was in the same subject matter as Scott Pilgrim.

It's just an extension of what men are being turned into. We can no longer be manly by being manly, because that is frowned upon. So we'll be manly by admitting we like sparkly girly things, in a manly way.
And yes, robot unicorn attack possibly has something to do with this.

Have you people actually even watched the show? Or are you all complaining for the sole reason that it's a show that's targeted and should only be liked by teenage girls?
I don't get it. Here we have a show that is supposedly geared towards girls but, for the first time in recent history, one that doesn't show shallow and one dimensional teenage girls, talking about nothing but fashion, boys and their teen angst...and yet some people refuse to acknowledge it just because it's Ewww ponies. Ewww girls. Eww cooties.
As for me I like the show because I enjoy watching it not because I joined the fad. Then again I've always been a fan of Lauren Faust's works so it's not really that surprising.
Title: Re: My Little Pony Fighting game
Post by: Boombomb on June 03, 2011, 11:56:44 am
Why the fuck are grown men adoring a series about magical ponies and rainbows that is clearly targeted towards adolescent girls?
Don't give me some bullshit answer either. I'm being completely serious because this retarded little fad has gone too far.
If I may answer this...
...it's probably because the show promoting the toy models was done by Lauren Faust, the wife of Craig McCracken, who wasnot only the art director of 2 Stupid Dogs, but also the creator of both The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, which Lauren Faust also helped work on. So, MIP:FIM should have some stuff that only young adults will get, thus interesting them.
Lauren Faust wanted to make a show for girls that didn't berate nor insulted they gender like most girls shows(Bratz, for one). She was also a fan of the MLP toys when she was younger. So, she basically killed two birds with one stone with this. She was thrilled.
When /b/ talked about how good the show got, I guess it leaked out though the entire internet. Its popularity has gotten WAY overboard. Lauren Faust is also aware of the fandom. Her group even included a few meme in her show. One of the biggest examples are Princess Celestia being a troll and "Derpy Hooves."
You know another thing? These... *ahem*, "Bronies..." when they say they're fans of My Little Pony, they're really only fans of the 4th Generation(Friendship is Magic). They could care less about the previous generation. Some even despise the older gens.
Hmmm... not that much different from the Touhou Project fandom.

I couldn't have put it in a better way. It is a nice show with characters deeper than a paper sheet, unlike the previous versions, some interesting action and rather nice story lines in most episodes. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised of how it turned out.
If you don't like it, it's fine, but don't assume that most people who watch it like the awful stuff that was linked on this thread.
And I am interested on how the fighting game will turn out. I wonder if they will manage to find balance.

Post by: Iced on June 03, 2011, 01:01:09 pm
Thats just the internet being organic. People growing up with powerpuff girls and stuff like that are more naturally attracted to something that reminds them of their childhood, and the apparently very high standarts of animation and story telling being used ( Ive never watched it, but i can recognize quality in clips ) are attractive to people that like animation to begin with. That its a refreshing take on shows without violence its a very positive sign, kids these days have nothing that isnt about fighting X or defeating Y, nothing based on personalities. This has weakened a lot the cartoons of the later years, with spongebob, chowder and flapjack being the few shows that could be given to kids without any sort of violence ( and still incuring into slapstick and sometimes to the "dumbination" of plots)
And people sexualizing everything is nothing new, it only becomes more "shocking" when its animals and etc. There were people stupidly sexualizing homestuck, people stupidly sexualizing snoopy, people stupidly sexualizing disney. Its people with malformed personalities that are seeking sexual conotations to the things they also connect to childhood, in order to have access to defanged sexuality that doesnt scare them or forces them to be mature. I could go on about the subject but its pointless, so I will just say one thing about it.
FURRRIEEEEES!!!!
Now seriously dont keep me talking about animation or i will be here for a while =| ( currently getting season 1 of this to watch)

Most of them feature muscled and often bare-chested young men, you could argue they hold some appeal to older girls, even if they're not marketed to them.
Frankly, the concept of the game just feels a bit odd given the focus of the series is more often cooperative than competitive, and only about 2 of the 6 main characters are physical enough for this sort of thing - you could strech it to 4, between the magic user than the DeadpoolxDan-for-the-whole family one, but I don't see the wallflower or the fashionista keeping up unless they get really creative with movesets. And they'll have to be pretty creative to come with more than regular horse kicking.

Wow, how "mature" of you to post a picture of a My Little Pony character being mauled. Not. Grow up mayhaps.
Good thing we're in the fighting games forum because this is gonna turn ugly.
Speaking of fighting games, most of the fan art I've seen has been mostly wholesome - Dissidia is the only fighting game series I've seen getting a complete pony treatment though:
At a glance the only things that seem kinda off there are pony-Bartz flying (kinda balanced by the fact that ind was his element in his game) since he' supposed to be afraid of heights, and Tifa with a fist mark, which I guess is kinda hard to adapt to hoofs properly.
Edit: Since the topic of manliness and Duke Nukem came up halfway through the topic, here's something that can buck out heads and shit down throats (http://ponibooru.413chan.net/_images/60899f8f785a390895687f65563a4241/13677%20-%20awesome%20CasualViewing%20Duke_Nuk%20em.png).

I used to like it because of the Soundtrack, the storyline (Example I really liked the Zabuza death scene and Konoha invasion), and I think the fighting.

But my point still stands, that is clearly a hippo.
Looked like a pony to me.
Speaking of which, many fans of the older generations of MLP did once bash the current gen MLP, for the fact that they don't actually look like ponies. Horses, if you will.

Oh please, those who talk about 'being manly' here do have some complexes. You are: gay, or have been told tool much you're gay, or fear of being gay so you have to make sure all points to you being manly, or you have no mustache for that matter.
What's wrong with watching casually some pony show? What makes you think that Naruto, Sasuke or whatever I never watch them is more manly? If you are so grown up, then a boy with special powers falls under the same category. Maybe you shouldn't watch any cartoons because you would be still laughed at if you watch a cartoon. It's like those who hate them, are some Manga fans who hate everything that's not Manga including Mortal Kombat.
Such claims 'my cartoon is more manly than your cartoon' is childish and stupid. Then again if the majority here are early teenagers, I'm not surprised about what I see here.
What I started liking the Ponies for asides for the ponies being cute, are that it is totally relaxing, much in the same way you would watch a Comedy over some dumb thriller with bodies cut into pieces and lots of blood with no actual content of the movie whatsoever.
And the person who drew this fatality on Pinkie Pie is simply a loser who has no better things to do than wasting his obviously useless time on hating. Hating expressions represents loserishness. Please keep your hatred to yourself, anything can be said about some retarded Megaman cartoons and such being too childish. if someone uses all his time watching little kid shows all the time, that's another story. But one show, overreacting much.
I'd love to see some Mugen pony characters out of this fighting engine.

Post by: Duos.act on July 03, 2011, 11:16:41 am
Nobody said anything about being manly. Learn to read.
Actually you know what, let me rephrase that.
Nobody but the most insecure of individuals dislikes the series because they are worried about "being gay" so I really don't know where you got that from. Most people on MFG are about 16-30 year old males. The target audience for the show is young girls. When people like YOU go on crusades against the rest of us for not liking a show whose demographic we aren't a party of, it's not doing any favors at all for the MLP fanbase's reputation as annoying manchildren. As you read this, keep in mind I am not nor have I EVER condemned any enjoyment of the show, it's people like YOU that are the reason the rest of the internet hates the MLP fans. In fact, if the show's topic on here is anything to go by, your fellow fans resent people like you too.
Let me ask you an honest question. Do you genuinely enjoy the show for what it is? Or are you one of the "bronies" who just jumped on the bandwagon because it became a hit at 4chan and you want to feel like you're a part of something?
Title: Re: My Little Pony Fighting game
Post by: Emetar on July 03, 2011, 12:16:01 pm
I'm not member of 4chan or have any assciation with them. I think some people before me told you pretty well - no need to hate, keep it yourself. So when talking about 'it is fans like YOU' im not your right person. People have right to disagree but when it turns into hate for being unmanly for watching such show is plain stupid. You try to make yourself look better because you are no part of that show which is made for ages you are no part of? Aha now I see it confirms what I say.
And I said above, I like the show, it's one show I watch. I don't think this is abnormal, unmanly or BS of that kind. Why Ponies started appearing everywhere and it became meme is another story. If you don't like something don't watch it? Not attack and call smth those that watch it.

How any grown man would be into My Little Ponies, as anything more than a tongue-in-cheek comedic display, is totally beyond me, unless that person is gay... If your gay, that's fine, I have nothing against gay people. But for straight men to develop such an interest in this, is extremely metrosexual.... Now this is the effects of putting estrogen in water bottles and such crap. More guys are becoming efeminized. But to each their own, I'm not here to pass any judgement, I'm sure we all have some rather odd interests or another if we really thought about it...

You're right, heterosexual men should be into more typically manly things, like lifting weights and watching sweaty men beat each other up. Shirts not required for either activity.

Well my point was that they're both equally ridiculous, even though sparkles and rainbows = gay is a more popular conception. Showing that a train of thought is illogical by applying it to something else where the flaws are more apparent.

There's not much to discuss since the creators haven't released any info in the past week or so. I guess we should really stop responding to these offtopic ramblings, though.
To bring it back on track, there is this. Here's a higher quality version of applejack's stage theme:
I actually don't like it all that much, mostly due to the electric guitar parts. The banjo is awesome, but rock n roll just doesn't fit applejack. That's a rainbow dash thing.

Well here's some music from the show for reference.
This isn't applejack's theme specfically, but it's the closest I could find on youtube. This episode partially centers on her anyway so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCTtqDrz9ik (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCTtqDrz9ik)
Compared to say, this character, where the guitars would be more than appropriate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciPVor5f0OU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciPVor5f0OU)

Considering the nature of this project, I have to say that I'm really impressed with how coordinated and professional they're being about it. Knowing the MLP fanbase, it'd be really easy for them to just start rattling things off to build up a giant hype train around nothing but they're playing it straight and close to the vest, like any professional developers would. The team working on Death Cargo could learn a thing or two from Mane6.

Also, I think it's worth pointing out how what these guys consider to be 'pre-alpha' gameplay looks to be at least a thousand times more complete than what the Death Cargo team deemed good enough to release as a playable demo.

That's a valid point. I'm just finding a funny kind of irony to the whole situation. You tell me a game is using digitized actors and HD graphics to put a new spin on a retro fighting game style, and I'd expect the team would be really organized and care about what they're doing. You tell me that the notably excitable MLP fanbase is building a fighting game, and I'd expect a bunch of empty hype built around gushing over all of the characters they have and the tons of artwork, story, and music tracks they plan to use with little to no gameplay to back it up. And now we have both things happening and the exact opposite turns out to be true. It's almost poetic in a weird sort of way.

Probably "the stare" for "projectiles", animal summons everywhere and ragefaceyouwilllovemenow for a lvl3. ( which would cause maybe a stampede? )
"The Stare" looks like it works better as a Super or a DM. She only uses it as a Last Resort.

MLP has a minimalistic art style that is relatively easy to copy and animate. Doing a Fire Emblem character on the same scale would be harder due to cloth folding and all the details. The only feasible way to do without an overly gifted and devoted spriter would be doing a complete sprite set with the same amount of detail as he GBA games, or other simple style like the Neo Geo pocket games.

...You know, looking up Azumanga Fighter again, it is plausable to see Yomi pounding Tomo... for a reason, of course.
So, even THAT makes more sense than Eternal Fighter Zero.
At least Kamineko looks like a more intimidating boss than Kanna and Unknown.
ON_TOPIC: I hope they at least include a cameo rep from the 1st Generation. I would kill to see a 4th Generation version of Wind Whistler.

MLP has a minimalistic art style that is relatively easy to copy and animate. Doing a Fire Emblem character on the same scale would be harder due to cloth folding and all the details. The only feasible way to do without an overly gifted and devoted spriter would be doing a complete sprite set with the same amount of detail as he GBA games, or other simple style like the Neo Geo pocket games.
At this point, I'll take anything. I don't need an HD character, a hi-res character, or hell even a low-res character. If all I have are GBA-quality sprites, then I'll gladly go with that.

Yeah, that was posted a page or two ago. This, however, is brand new. It's the gameplay footage they showed off during their panel at BroNYCon.
Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hU5kIpkGjY) Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nT9oJrdcqw) Part 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8bJHgBOsbM) Part 4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjmwbif5RWA)
Lots of new gameplay, lots of new info. Pinkie Pie is a combo-centric charge character, Rarity is designed for zoning, and Applejack has something similar to an Alpha Counter system.

rarity confirmed for best pony! (was there ever any doubt) ... at least until the great and powerful trixie is playable

Q: How many characters will there be? A: 17 characters; The first public build will feature the mane 6 characters (Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash)
Q: Why only 17? A: several reasons. Mainly, that we wanted to focus on quality over quantity. We’d rather release 17 solid, balanced characters than four dozen palette-swapped clones.

The necro is fine here, because this is the first real news there's been on this game for months. The team working on it has been slogging through all of the most boring stuff of development, and there hasn't been anything new worth showing off since EVO. Though from what I understand, they're getting close to finishing the first release build.
In the meantime, have a super-chaining combo video with Pinkie:

Looks like Fighting is Magic has a decent chance at making it to the main stage at EVO this year. They're running a charity drive where members of the FGC can donate money to breast cancer research in the name of which game they want to be the last game on this year's lineup, and the one which raises the most money wins. And given the... let's call it enthusiasm of the MLP community, I think there's a real shot at Fighting is Magic taking it. I would love to see that. :P

Well, Ponies gonna be on EVO anyway, and money to charity is always good.
BUT:
If they going to do Melee, why not we spice up the tourney a bit? How about making people do things other than the NO ITEMS, FOX ONLY, FINAL DESTINATION setup?
Seriously, that setup isn't balanced. The stage favors long ranged characters rather than those relying on close ranged.
On the topic of ponies: it seems that the entire fighting game community's upset about how Ponies are stomping the competition. Seriously, what is the big deal?

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordava-6.png[/avatar]I think the big deal was the idea that an unfinished, unproven fighting game might have been given a spot on the EVO roster due to mob mentality, mostly likely coming from people who have never even played a fighting game in their lives. Which is understandable. Very few of the complaints I've seen about this are simply about the MLP aspect.

We got aerial juggles with appropriate launchers and references to other characters in MvC/Street Fighter (the most blatant one being Fluttershy's bear performing Juggernaut's Head Crush hyper, complete with effects and pose)
Title: Re: My Little Pony Fighting game
Post by: Cyanide on February 01, 2013, 12:46:58 am
MvC and Streetfighter mechanics are VASTLY different. And move similarities will always be similar to well, everything. Most moves have been invented already. If the bear didn't act like juggernaut, it would act like wolverine, or sabretooth, or kuma, or whoever else.

The difference is that MLP is shoehorned into friggin everything by their fanbase, much like how japan used to(and probably still do) shoehorn Touhou into everything which results in MLP having a very annoying fanbase. To make it worse, the fans that proclaim love and tolerance and then suddenly attack you back for not showing interest make themselves the most noticeable. Naturally, people would be more voiced against anything related to ponies because they're sick and tired of the more obnoxious side of the fanbase.

Well, fan projects aren't known for being the kind of thing most likely to be seen through to the end. Given that it was almost officially a part of Evo and it was obviously building up steam to a point where it would be a finished project, maybe they decided it was substantial enough to take notice of?

From what I've heard, and this is all rumor so don't quote me on this, the Mane6 DevTeam was making money off it through a YouTube partnership and ads on their vids. So because of that, regardless if the game itself was nonprofit, Hasbro issued the C&D.
As for Lauren's tweet to Mane6, I think she sincerely is trying to lift their spirits by offering some help in the form of something original. If that's the case, Lauren just became a little more awesome than before.

As far as I've seen from things like this, where the projects get a lot of attention, companies tend to wait until they're about to be released to send the C+Ds. Not that it's the reason why, but it is a trend I've noticed.

Post by: Cyanide on February 10, 2013, 12:36:20 am
Said last night, Mane6 should go tell Hasbro that they'd actually finished but have pulled everything off line. They should then quietly finish the game, and "accidentally leak" it via some random forum under a spoofed IP. Hasbro can then get fucked. Mane6 won't exist as an entity, the page won't be online, they can simply claim hackery.

Why would they think it would be a good idea publicly endorse a game so disparate from the cartoon? They make plenty of money already by selling merchandise that they can aim towards everybody at once. I mean, the C&D sucks for the people who've put such effort into the project, but even before this I never thought it would be officially sponsored or anything.

Because video games are a huge market, my point about the donations themselves towards Evo spot and maybe not every fan of the show has the guts to walk into a walmart and buy themself those things, even consider having them delivered? A decent game, a fighting game no less would be a good thing from them everyway. Their loss on another potential market which would of been endorsed by a community.

The only thing that Hasbro was targeting was ponies, right?
The obvious solution to get different characters with the same code and all is well.
Sure it won't be ponies anymore, but make it good enough and people will come, ponies or not.
After some thoughts, making a new look for what it was will make this game forgettable because this "beautiful" fandom will talk about what it could have been if "certain" company didn´t "interfered". I´ll think this should be used and go for it, sending hard work to trash isn´t a good idea at all...

The team is still going to be continuing development on the game, with a wholly original property and characters designed by none other than Lauren Faust herself.

Seriously, this project got alot of attention and fame MOSTLY because of ponies. While it is great and all, the fans are being particularly shallow in their preference.
Me? I am rooting for this game since these guys are putting in alot of effort. I might have started to take interest due to ponies, I will continue to see this game till release, even without the ponies.

Mane6 has been talking with Mike Z and Labzero, and it looks like if the Skullgirls indiegogo fund reaches $725k, then they'll give Mane6 the license to use the Skullgirls engine for their game.

After I read this... I looked around the web and found this one.... I know it has nothing to do with it but maybe it was destiny all the time....

Mystery character will definitely be funded now...

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordbutterfly.png[/avatar]I'm thinking it's a llama, a cow, and a reindeer. I know that they said they wanted to make the new characters fit into the fighting styles and movesets they had already designed for the original game, but I didn't think they'd still be using animals.
Makes me wonder what they're going to come up with for Twilight's magic-based moveset. Or the flying characters like Rainbow Dash.

Question:
The C&D prohibits Mane6 from using the main cast of MLP:FIM, right?
Title: Re: My Little Pony Fighting game

No, it prevents them from using Hokuto no Ken characters

A robotic cat girl whose head gets knocked off every few seconds...
That is actually pretty funny!
Out of curiosity, is the game release for free or will money be required?
Title: Re: My Little Pony Fighting game
Post by: Lichtbringer on March 30, 2013, 06:34:03 pm
They don't have the problem with licensed chars anymore, so if Lauren gives them her ok for using there designs, they could make it a comercial game any time.

This could turn into something rather big as far as potentially introducing kids into the fighting game genre. Pretty interesting overall.

But we already have P4A and UMVC3 for that.
Yeah I agree though. Despite the brony demographic it's important to remember that MLP is ultimately created for young children, so if this gets a few kids into fighters and they grow up to appreciate the genre, that would be pretty awesome.

If this happens, we might just see more things come from this IP than just a fighting game.
Either way, I've been waiting for this game forever, before and after the C&D, and I can already feel that the wait is gonna be worth every second.

Yeah, these guys are still trucking along on this thing. They posted a small update about their progress so far, including a look at the first-draft design of one of the new characters. Also, there's a look at what the Skullgirls Z-Engine's UI looks like, for all you fighting game MUGEN nerds.
I'm just glad to know that they're sticking with it.

Welp, they got the CLSNs down so that already speaks boundaries for MUGEN, lol.

Post by: DNZRX768 on July 14, 2013, 09:21:49 pm
Ah yes, Clsns!
At least they are doing better than say half of the MUGEN creators through out the years.
But what is the difference between "Hurt" and "Collision" in this context?

I was wondering if the project is gone or not.

Sort of. The original Mane 6 are still working on their new project with Lauren Faust, but apparently some people were super not happy that the Pony game got shit-canned, so they took whatever was left and finished the original Fighting is Magic themselves. They finished building the game in secret and just released it anonymously so Hasbro wouldn't have a chance to shut them down. Here's the DL link for the full game:
One day after release, there's already a patch? Man, these must have been some big ones. Hopefully one of them involves an issue I had with running my PS3 controller on it (Stick would be untouched, and the character I played as would be in a constant crouching state).

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordava-6.png[/avatar]Good for them. It's good to see a studio hanging in there after suffering such a huge setback like they.
Also this could probably do with its own thread now that it's a totally separate thing from the pony game. Probably once the crowdfunding thing starts and there's a little more info.
