YMMV / My Little Pony: Fighting Is Magic

• Awesome Music:
  • Twilight's stage theme.
  • Rainbow Dash's theme.
  • Applejack's stage theme, natch
  • Now Pinkie's theme.
  • Rarity's theme.
  • Fluttershy's theme
  • The title screen theme, as heard in this video.
  • All of the music they released so far.
• Broken Base:
  • Twilight Sparkle's teal, yellow and pink color scheme, nicknamed Tennis Shoe Twilight ^note It's actually made to resemble the toy-exclusive pony Dewdrop Dazzle is either the best palette for her or the worst.
  • The current status of the Spiritual Successor. 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.
  • The 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 thought it was a good idea to add the game into a massive public event (with monetary prizes no less) like EVO. If the game was just kept as an underground fan project, it would've survived and have been finished and played today (And with the massive developments that occurred in the show since the project's death, who knows who or what could've been added). While another group believes the idea that Hasbro was aware of the project and its growing popularity, but deliberately yanked the chain for laughs.
• Epileptic Trees: The final game was planned to have seventeen playable characters including the Mane Six; the rest were kept secret. With the project cancelled, fans can only wonder who those remaining eleven characters were. ^note Since the roster was finalized after season one of the show, that's all there is to go on.
• Fan Nickname: Tennis shoe Twilight during the Pon-E3 stream for Twilight Sparkle's teal, pink and yellow palette.
  • Many of the other characters pallets have gotten their own nicknames as well. Applemac/ Melonjack (For AJ with a red coat and green mane, based off of her G3 incarnation but also similar to her brother or a watermelon), Celerarity (for an all-green Rarity), Twimom (for a Twilight palette resembling her mother), and Surprise (A Pinkie palette based off the G1 pony Surprise). Just about every pallet has their own nickname.
  • Some have started calling Pinkie's Level 3 Cupcake Install.
  • "Hoof Dive" for Rainbow Dash's down-forward dash, since it's a dive kick and Rainbow's playstyle is pretty similar to Doctor Doom's as well.
  • Legion for Fluttershy's presently-revealed super.
• Game-Breaker: Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy during the second livestream. Fluttershy's One-Hit Kill Stare was a joke from the devs who knew the viewers would want to see an unfinished Fluttershy.
  • Rainbow Dash was considered this when she was revealed at Canterlot Gardens. Safe, hard-hitting normals, great pressure, a really fast dive kick, excellent mobility, and the only things she's lacking are health and supers. Granted, she's obviously incomplete, so it isn't that big of an issue.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Pinkie has a bright blue palette swap, which was made years before the show introduced another blue colored party pony (Party Favor) in the season 5 premiere.
• It's Hard, So It Sucks!: Some people expected this game to have simple inputs, akin to the likes of Super Smash Bros. because most of the target audience doesn't play Fighting Games.. So of course, when the movelist was revealed to be traditional Fighting Game inputs of old, cries of this were heard on the comments page.
  • 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.
• Memetic Badass: If some of the comments in one of the streams is to be believed, Gummy.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • 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.
  • Rainbow Dash's placeholder winpose at Canterlot Gardens◊.
  • Bionic Farm, which eventually ascended.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • This video of Pinkie Pie's level 3 super (Although she just stands there after using it). NO PARTY AND NO FRIENDS MAKE PINKIE A DULL PONI.
  • As if that wasn't enough, the Canterlot Gardens build has the background change to the infamous paint splatter background◊ from Party of One.
• Scrappy Mechanic: 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.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: 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 Lauren Faust is joining the project has softened the blow. Somewhat.
