History YMMV / MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic

** Some have started calling Pinkie's Level 3 FanFic/{{Cupcake|s}} [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Install]].

** Twilight Sparkle's teal, yellow and pink color scheme, [[FanNickname nicknamed Tennis Shoe Twilight]] is either the best palette for her or the worst.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The news that it'll become unrelated to ''Friendship Is Magic'' kinda deflated some hype for those who really wanted to duke it out with their favorite ponies, but the fact that Creator/LaurenFaust is joining the project has softened the blow. Somewhat.

** Along with that, people complained about certain inputs being inherently tricky, such as two half-circle motions for a few Level 3s, or a Quarter-circle-back followed by a half-circle-forward. The developers reason for doing this, though, isn't to make the game less accessible. [[MisBlamed It's because making it so the inputs would be a single motion with two buttons (Used in games like ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'') is barely allowed by the program which only allows similtaneous button presses that are precise to the millisecond.]]

* AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uYnBcwd4Os&feature=related Twilight's stage theme]].

** The title screen theme, as heard in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiwZvPKhsDo&feature=g-u-u this video.]]

* MemeticMutation: One guy on the EVO stream attempted to type #Swag as is a typical stream thing to do. Unfortunately for him, he made a typo, and it became #Swaf instead. Cue all the stream monsters spamming Swaf and the birth of an inside meme.

** As if that wasn't enough, the Canterlot Gardens build has the background change to the [[http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b68/burnfist23/gotcha.jpg infamous paint splatter background]] from ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne Party of One]]''

** The [[ScrewedByTheLawyers ultimate fate]] of the project. Many fans were quick to blame Hasbro for shutting it down out of malice, while others were quick to pin the blame on the fact that some genius [[NiceJobBreakingItHero thought it was a good idea]] to add the game into a massive event like EVO. If the game was just kept as an underground fan project, it [[WhatCouldHaveBeen would've survived and have been finished]] and played today (And with [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore the massive developments]] that occurred in the show since the project's death, who knows what could've been added). While another group believes the idea that Hasbro was aware of the project and its growing popularity, but [[YankTheDogsChain deliberately yanked the chain]] [[TrollingCreator for laughs]].

* BaseBreaker: Twilight Sparkle's teal, yellow and pink color scheme, [[FanNickname nicknamed Tennis Shoe Twilight]] is either the best palette for her or the worst.

** The current status of the SpiritualSuccessor. Either people are denouncing it, saying that it'll never be as good as the original with ponies, or they're optimistic that it'll be good regardless of what species the characters are.

** [[VideoGame/BionicCommando Bio]][[{{Marvel Vs Capcom 3}} nic]] Farm, which eventually [[AscendedMeme ascended]]

* GameBreaker: Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy during the second livestream. Fluttershy's OneHitKill Stare was a joke from the devs [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything who knew the viewers would want to see an unfinished Fluttershy]].

** There's a little something for everypony here! Twilight's theme is fast-paced, mostly orchestral (with a little light rock) number, Rarity's theme is a mellow dream-trance style song, Applejack's theme is a very catchy folk-metal/southern rock song, Pinkie's theme is a hyperactive progressive trance/dance song, and Rainbow's theme is pure rock.

* FanDumb: Some fans seem to be taking the sour grapes approach. They constantly complain that news for the new iteration doesn't deserve to be posted on EqD, despite the fact that the blog often posts stuff with virtually no content whatsoever. Or they're constantly wishing that someone will "Mod ponies back in" despite the fact that the new engine isn't mod friendly at all.

* TooGoodToLast: Hasbro's cease and desist order ended any hopes of having the ''Friendship Is Magic'' original cast in a fighting game.

** [[BionicCommando Bio]][[{{Marvel Vs Capcom 3}} nic]] Farm, which eventually [[AscendedMeme ascended]]

* TooCoolToLive: A meta-version for the game itself, after Hasbro's cease and desist order.

* ItsHardSoItSucks: Some people expected this game to have simple inputs, akin to the likes of SuperSmashBros because most of the target audience doesn't play [[FightingGame Fighting Games.]]. So of course, when the movelist was revealed to be traditional FightingGame inputs of old, cries of this were heard on the comments page.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: Well, Hasbro's lawyers won't budge, it looks like the project is well and truly de- wait, [[http://www.mane6.com/2013/03/m6v2.html LAUREN FAUST is designing all-new (albeit non-pony quadrupeds) characters for the game?!]]

* ScrappyMechanic: In the Pon-E3 stream, one of the developers mentioned that characters gain extra armor when their health is low, and that this feature may be this to some players.
