YMMV / Death Battle Equestria

• Arc Fatigue: Many readers are growing tired of the tournament, which has been going on for about a year now and the first round is still going on. Fortunately, it's been picking up pace recently.
  • It reached the point where the author was about to completely give it up before someone else took control of the tournament. And then it was finally dropped altogether.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Twilight Sparkle VS Pinkie Pie was, according to the author, supposed to be this since he didn't even properly research it and only did it for fun - not everyone realizes this.
• Memetic Mutation: "Earthquake math". ^Explanation The author mentioned how, in the tournament battle between Plymouth Valiant and Brand Fire, he had to use the strength of earthquakes to calculate and compare one of Brand Fire's abilities. He jokingly christened this "earthquake math" and the fans took to the term immediately.
  • Asking for Princess Celestia VS Princess Luna; a battle that the author has specifically called out several times as one he would not do.
