History ShoutOut / MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic

Given that ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic'' is meant to appeal to both Bronies and members of the UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity, the game has several references to well-known {{Fighting Game}}s.

* One of the voice clips used in Twilight's Level 3 super is "I can't control it!" [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 No points]] [[ComicBook/{{X-Men}} for guessing]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide where that came from.]]

* One of Pinkie's sound effects sounds similar to part of a [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} certain transformation jingle]]. She also has a super that seems to be modeled after [[ResidentEvil5 Wesker's]] [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 "Lost in Nightmares"]] super.

* Rarity's Level 2 super is basically a gem-based, reversed version of [[VideoGame/MegaManX Zero's]] [[VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom Rekk]][[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 oha]].

** Her porcupine special may remind some of [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Rachel Alucard]].

* ShoutOut: One of the voice clips played when Applejack uses her lasso move is "[[Franchise/MortalKombat Get over here!]]". With the exact same enunciation.
