Also, everyone already knows what Rainbow Dash's hyper attack will be. ;)
And anyone who's seen the show knows what Derpy's will be. :P

Maybe they dislike the cutesy graphics or take offense with the hyper-aggressive fan base?

Look, it's a video game based on a television property. This game might very well be excellent, but the idea behind it alone is enough to set off red flags in many gamers minds, especially considering the stereotype regarding property-based games.

I could care less. If I hear good things about the game after it is completed I may look in to it but until then I will give mlp what I give it now and that is nothing.

Out of all the franchises to recieve fighting games, why this? Why a franchise where, to my knowledge(this knowledge consisting of waking up to it and being to tired to get out and the remote not having batteries and thus begrudgingly having to watch it), actually fight each other? Seems odd for a show about love and friendship and crap.

I've kept my eye on it. Hopefully it turns out to be a great game. :)

OPTIONS

Blood : no - mild - plenty

* plenty *

Fatalities : enabled / disabled

* enabled *

And replace MK II's toasty with Chuck Tesla to go to a secret pony battle...

I can already hear it. "Chuck Teslààà..."

Press down and start!...

Maybe fight Chuck Tesla himselfs as his alter ego 'The Pony Stuffer'...
