Characters / My Little Pony: Fighting Is Magic

Tropes specifically for My Little Pony: Fighting Is Magic. Please keep these tropes limited to anything regarding the game itself. For tropes involving the characters in the show, go to the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic character page.^note Being that they only went as far at the Mane Six, this page would get you closer. See also this character page for the characters from the game this one would become later.

Twilight Sparkle

• Ascended Meme: The devs have adopted the invokedFan Nickname for one of her palettes, Tennis Shoe Twilight.
• Calling Your Attacks: For some reason, Twilight was the only one to do this regularly. Though Rarity did it later, too.
• Deflector Shields: She uses one when blocking.
• Energy Ball: Her Magic Spark attack.
• Flying Books: Her book floats next to her, and unlike normally she isn't using her telekinesis.
• Home Stage: Golden Oak Library.
• Jack of All Stats: No surprise, since she's the main character and approximately a Shotoclone.
• Kamehamehadoken: Her Hadoken-like energy balls and one of her specials.
• Magic Knight: Attacks physically and by using magic.
• Shoryuken: Her failed teleport (teleport & appear again in the same spot) move was described as the closest she has to one.
• Shotoclone: If one were to classify Twilight, she'd be the closest to this.
• Spell Book: Twilight uses one for most of her attacks.
• Teleport Spam: Capable of Teleportation at will.
• Throw the Book at Them: Twilight Sparkle's weapon of choice for air combos is her Spell Book.
• Trap Master: Twilight Sparkle will make page copies from her book, in order to lay them down as traps.
• Wave-Motion Gun: Twilight Sparkle's level 1 super, Story Arc Climax.
• Whole Costume Reference: She has palette swaps referencing Twilight Velvet (her mother) Lyra Heartstrings, Dewdrop Dazzle ^note The "tennis shoe" colors, and that time she basically turned into a fiery Rapidash in "Feeling Pinkie Keen". The Tribute Edition adds Minuette and Twilight Twinkle, from the first My Little Pony generation.

Applejack

• Ascended Meme: 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.
• Badass Normal: Compared to the rest of the initial roster (even Pinkie, considering that they put Pinkie's cartoon logic in as teleport moves).
  • Exaggerated in her "magic" moves, which are basically just stronger versions of her normal moves, unlike the rest of the cast.
    • Taken even further with her level 2 super, which is just her doing another kick after her level 1 super.
• Close-Range Combatant: Most of her moves requires close range.
• Counter-Attack: She has one.
• Cute Bruiser: Applejack is tougher than she looks.
• Dynamic Entry: Applejack's "Summer Rambo" super move.
• Home Stage: Sweet Apple Acres.
• Knows the Ropes: She can use a lasso as a part of her moveset.
• Lightning Bruiser: Balanced out by a relative lack of range.
• Shockwave Stomp: Her Applequake, which shakes the ground close to the opponent.
• Stealth Pun: Applejack has a color scheme similar to her brother. (AKA, she's an Applemac)
• Tail Slap: One of her normal attacks.
• Whole Costume Reference: Some of her palettes have the color schemes of Granny Smith, Big Macintosh, Cheerilee, and Gen 3 Applejack's toy colors.
• You Will Not Evade Me: Lassorama makes Applejack pull opponents in closer with a lasso.

Pinkie Pie

• Abnormal Ammo: Pinkie's magic specials involve her party cannon, which can fire cakes, presents, fruits, and her pet alligator, Gummy.
  • The presents are part of Be Right Back; she's essentially shooting herself out of her cannon.
• Bear Hug: She delivers an exceptionally devastating one as her level 3 super; it can take out roughly 3/4ths of an opponent's health!
• Charge-Input Special: Some of Pinkie's specials, such as sending out Gummy, require this.
• Collision Damage: Gummy hurts the opponent, even though all he does is slowly walk forwards.
• Cute and Psycho: Her level 3 super is her becoming "Pinkamena".
• Edible Ammunition: Pinkie Pie's level 1 super has her jump up and fling a barrage of cupcakes, followed by a pie, at her opponent.
  • 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.
• Fighting Clown: Pinkie Pie's attacks include waving a giant foam finger, inflating her body, licking her opponent and raining cupcakes on her opponent for her level 1 super.
• Flower-Pot Drop: Her Party Cannon can shoot flower pots.
• Fourth-Wall Observer: Pinkie Pie uses her Fanon Medium Awareness as one of her win quotes:
  Pinkie Pie: Lookie, lookie! The screen says I won!
• Home Stage: Sugarcube Corner.
• Instant Costume Change: Pinkie Pie's launcher has her instantly put on her confetti-shooting saddle and hat from the Party of One episode.
• Offscreen Teleportation: 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.
• Random Effect Spell: Her Party Cannon can shoot a random item for 1 magic point or one of your choice for 2.
• Whole Costume Reference: She has palettes based on Limestone Pie ^note Known in the fandom at the time as "Blinky Pie"., Marble Pie ^note Nicknamed "Inky Pie" at the time. and Surprise. The Tribute Edition adds Cheese Sandwich, Minty, and Pinkie's generation 3 coloring.

Rainbow Dash

• Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag: 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.
• Flight: Can fly with her wings.
• Fragile Speedster: She's fast, but is lacking in health.
• Furry Reminder: 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).
• Glass Cannon: Rainbow Dash seems to be this, as she hits hard and fast, but is confirmed to have the lowest health of the Mane Six.
• Good Old Fisticuffs: The jabs mentioned in Hitbox Dissonance involve Dash adopting a boxing stance.
• Hitbox Dissonance: 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.
• Home Stage: Cloudsdale.
• Shock and Awe: One of Rainbow Dash's specials involves shocking her opponent with a thundercloud.
• Whole Costume Reference: She has palettes resembling Daring Do, Lightning Dust, Firefly, Feathermay, Spitfire, and even one for Spike.

Rarity

• Action Fashionista: Rarity, who even uses her accessories as weapons.
• Button Mashing: 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.
• Calling Your Attacks: "Amethyst!"
• Clothing Combat: Can use her scarf as a whip.
• Difficult, but Awesome: The developers described Rarity as a very technical character when she was introduced. Rarity's specials involve playing keepaway with the opponent and 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.
• Gemstone Assault: Rarity's special attacks and level 1 and 2 super are various gem-based attacks.
• Home Stage: Carousel Boutique.
• Lady of War: Glamorous and a fighter.
• Magic Knight: Uses physical attacks and magic.
• Macross Missile Massacre: 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.
• Of Corset Hurts: Her level 3 Super, in a similar way of what she did to Twilight during their first meeting in the show's pilot episode.
• Parasol of Pain: Uses one of these to attack.
• Parasol of Prettiness: Her parasol/umbrella.
• Whole Costume Reference: One of her palettes resembles Fleur de Lis, and the Tribute Edition having one with the colors of her sister, Sweetie Belle.

Fluttershy

• Attack Animal: Fluttershy's pet rabbit Angel, as well as every other animal in her arsenal.
• The Beastmaster: 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.
• Death Glare: 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.
• Flight: Can fly with her wings.
• Home Stage: Fluttershy's Cottage.
• Oh, Crap!: Her back-walking animation.
• Whole Costume Reference: She had planned palette swaps resembling Derpy Hooves, Nurse Redheart, Lotus Blossom, her "emo" look from "Green Isnt Your Color" and (possibly coincidentally) Psychoshy. The Tribute Edition adds Flitter.
