That certainly earns my vote for Most Bizarre Thing of the Day.
I've got two guns pointed west and a broken compass.No clue. The only characters they're messing around with are Twilight Sparkle and Applejack right now.
17 fighters total. We only know about the mane 6 right now.

One of my few regrets about being born female is the inability to grow a handlebar mustache. -LandstanderThe stream's over now. But damn, I'm excited for that game. And I don't usually like fighters.
One of my few regrets about being born female is the inability to grow a handlebar mustache. -LandstanderI tuned into the stream at just the right time to hear them say they where "leaving for real this time" and then BAM it was over.
Someone tell me what it was like so i can live vicariously through you.
You are not alone.Well, it was pretty much a bunch of people talking about the game while they playing as Applejack and Twilight Sparkle and they appeared to have more fighting game experience than I honestly expected.
And there were also a bunch of people asking questions about the game, some of which were interesting, others not so much.

It's more frustrating waiting for the asskicking than the asskicking itself.So will that mean Ghostrider will have Fluttershy as his alt? If so, U Mv C 3 will be a day one buy for me.

Huh.
"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarAny word on it? They were showing it off right there.
There's also a gameplay video on their youtube page.
It looks to be a fairly standard fighter, but so far, the animations
◊ are looking very fluid and lively.

It looks like it came right from the show, which is a good thing if you ask me.

You are not alone.Yeah, you did miss out on quite a bit. They were only showing off Applejack and Twilight Sparkle, though it was still amusing.
Here are the notes I kind of jotted down.
- Applejack is a damn strong physical fighter. Combos are nice, she's got an excellent ranged grab using the lasso, and her only super move has her charging across the screen like a rocket. Pretty boss.
- Twilight seems a little weak right now. According to the devs she's supposed to be a long range character, but she only has a basic hadoken and a screen wide book laser at the moment. Also has a really fun looking teleport. Her melee moves are weakish and not much to write home about.
Intewesting. Applejack really is a Glacier Waif isn't she? She was the first character unveiled, so it makes sense that she's better than Twilight Sparkle right now... She's farther along in the development cycle.
I'm guessing Rainbow Dash will be a Fragile Speedster and Rarity will have tricky moves and zoning? Wonder when we're going to see our first glimpses of Pinky and Flutter. Oh god, this is gonna be so awesome.

You are not alone.Yeah, she is pretty slow. But the ranged lasso grab helps out a ton, and her super is a very sudden dash across the entire arena. It's awesome, super fast, damaging, and it can hit your opponent out of her victory stance.

This is most relevant to my interests.
