7	* AscendedMeme: The devs have adopted the [[invoked]]FanNickname for one of her palettes, Tennis Shoe Twilight.

9	* DeflectorShields: She uses one when blocking.
10	* EnergyBall: Her Magic Spark attack.
11	* FlyingBooks: Her book floats next to her, and unlike normally she isn't using her telekinesis.
12	* HomeStage: Golden Oak Library.
13	* JackOfAllStats: No surprise, since she's the main character and approximately a {{Shotoclone}}.
14	* {{Kamehamehadoken}}: Her Hadoken-like [[EnergyBall energy balls]] and one of her specials.
15	* MagicKnight: Attacks physically and by using magic.
16	* {{Shoryuken}}: Her failed teleport (teleport & appear again in the same spot) move was described as the closest she has to one.
17	* {{Shotoclone}}: If one were to classify Twilight, she'd be the closest to this.
18	* SpellBook: Twilight uses one for most of her attacks.
19	* TeleportSpam: Capable of {{Teleportation}} at will.

23	* WholeCostumeReference: She has {{palette swap}}s referencing Twilight Velvet (her mother) Lyra Heartstrings, Dewdrop Dazzle [[note]]The "tennis shoe" colors[[/note]], and that time she basically turned into a fiery Rapidash in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen Feeling Pinkie Keen]]". The Tribute Edition adds Minuette and Twilight Twinkle, from the first ''My Little Pony'' generation.

26	[[folder:Applejack]]
27	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fighting_is_magic_applejack.jpg]]
28	* AscendedMeme: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkK7_apKYl0 Bionic Farm]] became a minor meme since Applejack's VA for this game said it as a joke at the end of her audition piece. That said, it's now one of the things she says in-game when using Summer Rambo.
29	* BadassNormal: Compared to the rest of the initial roster (even Pinkie, considering that they put Pinkie's [[RuleOfFunny cartoon]] [[OffscreenTeleportation logic]] in as teleport moves).
30	** Exaggerated in her "magic" moves, [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower which are basically just stronger versions of her normal moves]], unlike the rest of the cast.
31	*** Taken even further with her level 2 super, which is just her doing another kick after her level 1 super.
32	* CloseRangeCombatant: Most of her moves requires close range.
33	* CounterAttack: She has one.
34	* CuteBruiser: Applejack is tougher than she looks.
35	* DynamicEntry: Applejack's "Summer Rambo" super move.
36	* HomeStage: Sweet Apple Acres.
37	* KnowsTheRopes: She can use a lasso as a part of her moveset.
38	* LightningBruiser: Balanced out by a relative lack of range.
39	* ShockwaveStomp: Her Applequake, which shakes the ground close to the opponent.
40	* StealthPun: Applejack has a color scheme similar to her brother. [[spoiler: (AKA, she's an [[Platform/AppleMacintosh Applemac]])]]
41	* TailSlap: One of her normal attacks.
42	* WholeCostumeReference: Some of her palettes have the color schemes of Granny Smith, Big Macintosh, Cheerilee, and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3 Gen 3 Applejack's]] toy colors.
43	* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Lassorama makes Applejack pull opponents in closer with a lasso.

46	[[folder:Pinkie Pie]]
47	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fighting_is_magic_pinkie_pie.jpg]]
48	* AbnormalAmmo: Pinkie's magic specials involve her party cannon, which can fire cakes, presents, fruits, and her pet alligator, Gummy.
49	** The presents are part of [[OffscreenTeleportation Be Right Back]]; she's essentially ''shooting herself'' out of her cannon.
50	* BearHug: She delivers an exceptionally devastating one as her level 3 super; it can take out roughly 3/4ths of an opponent's health!
51	* ChargeInputSpecial: Some of Pinkie's specials, such as sending out Gummy, require this.
52	* CollisionDamage: Gummy hurts the opponent, even though all he does is slowly walk forwards.
53	* CuteAndPsycho: Her level 3 super is her becoming "Pinkamena".
54	* EdibleAmmunition: Pinkie Pie's level 1 super has her jump up and fling a barrage of cupcakes, [[PieInTheFace followed by a pie]], at her opponent.
55	** Her magic specials involve her party cannon, which also fires cupcakes and fruit. The food can actually be eaten by Pinkie Pie to restore health or gain meter, according to the developers.
56	* FightingClown: Pinkie Pie's attacks include waving a giant foam finger, inflating her body, licking her opponent and raining cupcakes on her opponent for her [[LimitBreak level 1 super]].
57	* FlowerPotDrop: Her Party Cannon can shoot flower pots.
58	* FourthWallObserver: Pinkie Pie uses her {{Fanon}} MediumAwareness as one of her win quotes:
59	--> '''Pinkie Pie''': Lookie, lookie! The screen says I won!
60	* HomeStage: Sugarcube Corner.
61	* InstantCostumeChange: Pinkie Pie's launcher has her instantly put on her confetti-shooting saddle and hat from the Party of One episode.
62	* OffscreenTeleportation: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] with her "Be Right Back" move and one of her supers. With "Be Right Back", she runs off screen and suddenly appears somewhere else according to the button press. The super version is similar, but is followed by a super-fast combo with onscreen teleportation.
63	* RandomEffectSpell: Her Party Cannon can shoot a random item for 1 magic point or one of your choice for 2.
64	* WholeCostumeReference: She has palettes based on Limestone Pie [[note]]Known in the fandom at the time as "Blinky Pie".[[/note]], Marble Pie [[note]]Nicknamed "Inky Pie" at the time.[[/note]] and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends Surprise]].

67	[[folder:Rainbow Dash]]
68	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fighting_is_magic_rainbow_dash.jpg]]
69	* AnthropomorphicZigZag: Compared to the rest of the mane 6, she fights much more like a human fighting game character. Her idle animation even has her standing on two legs rather than four.
70	* {{Flight}}: Can fly with her wings.
71	* FragileSpeedster: She's fast, but is lacking in health.
72	* FurryReminder: She can only stand on two legs by flapping her wings to balance herself, though, and her crouching idle stance is decidedly non-human (but no less aggressive).
73	* GlassCannon: Rainbow Dash seems to be this, as she hits hard and fast, but is confirmed to have the lowest health of the Mane Six.
74	* GoodOldFisticuffs: The jabs mentioned in HitboxDissonance involve Dash adopting a boxing stance.
75	* HitboxDissonance: One of her moves, a series of quick jabs, is stated by the developers to have far greater range than the move itself would imply.
76	* HomeStage: Cloudsdale.
77	* ShockAndAwe: One of Rainbow Dash's specials involves shocking her opponent with a thundercloud.
78	* WholeCostumeReference: She has palettes resembling Daring Do, Lightning Dust, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials Firefly]], Feathermay, Spitfire, and even one for Spike.

81	[[folder:Rarity]]
82	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fighting_is_magic_rarity.jpg]]
83	* ActionFashionista: Rarity, who even uses her ''accessories'' as weapons.
84	* ButtonMashing: Button mashing during Rarity's level 3 super will cause clothing to fly out from behind the screen and increase the damage of the attack.
85	* CallingYourAttacks: "Amethyst!"
86	* ClothingCombat: Can use her scarf as a whip.
87	* DifficultButAwesome: The developers described Rarity as a very technical character when she was introduced. Rarity's specials involve playing keepaway with the opponent and [[ConfusionFu being as unpredictable as possible]], so she takes some practice to execute. With enough of that practice, though, your opponent won't know what to do against her.
88	* GemstoneAssault: Rarity's special attacks and level 1 and 2 super are various gem-based attacks.
89	* HomeStage: Carousel Boutique.
90	* LadyOfWar: Glamorous and a fighter.
91	* MagicKnight: Uses physical attacks and magic.
92	* MacrossMissileMassacre: Or Macross ''Mineral'' Massacre. Rarity's level one and two supers are firing a hyper-rapid volley of gems upwards from the ground at her opponent.
93	* OfCorsetHurts: Her level 3 Super, in a similar way of what she did to Twilight during their first meeting in the show's [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon pilot episode]].
94	* ParasolOfPain: Uses one of these to attack.
95	* ParasolOfPrettiness: Her parasol/umbrella.
96	* WholeCostumeReference: One of her palettes resembles Fleur de Lis, and the Tribute Edition having one with the colors of her sister, Sweetie Belle.
97	[[/folder]]
98
99	[[folder:Fluttershy]]
100	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fighting_is_magic_fluttershy.jpg]]
101	* AttackAnimal: Fluttershy's pet rabbit Angel, as well as every other animal in her arsenal.
102	* TheBeastmaster: Fluttershy's rabbit Angel will assist her for some of her normal attacks, and the rest of her animal friends act as her special attacks.
103	* DeathGlare: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJC06XGN8Ro Fluttershy's Stare]] during one of the livestreams is a particularly literal example. It's actual purpose in the final release, however, is to cause an extended period of hitstun to the opponent.
104	* {{Flight}}: Can fly with her wings.
105	* HomeStage: Fluttershy's Cottage.
106	* OhCrap: Her back-walking animation.
107	* WholeCostumeReference: She had planned palette swaps resembling Derpy Hooves, Nurse Redheart, Lotus Blossom, her "emo" look from "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E20GreenIsntYourColor Green Isnt Your Color]]" and (possibly coincidentally) [[Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaProjectHorizons Psychoshy]]. The Tribute Edition adds Flitter.
