Them's Fightin' Herds

It's Mane6. Don't expect updates for another month or so.
 
I just suggested live beta for steam or playstation network, but i think steam's much easier to work with.
 
Thank you for not suggesting X-box live. That service would hurt them more than it would help...
 
Yo Some Person, good shit at the online tournament yesterday. I've got a lot of watching to do...

I think Mane6 should have their IGG during EVO, but somehow there's a flaw with this idea.

Thanks, man! I might not have won that tournament, but at least my last match was super great and NO ONE GOT TO SEE IT and that makes me SUPER SAD.

Luckily the guy I went against plans on uploading it, so I'll post that vid here when the time comes.
 
And just like that, here's the match in its entirety

I'm going to guess that that is either the spellbook of the Twilight Sparkle replacement (who will be a goat), or the spellbook of the final boss, who will be a goat. Either way, I can't wait for that eventual Kickstarter.

That bookmark is so cute, I can't stand it.
 
Four-eyed evil demon goat/ram skulls? I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Also looks like there's a bull in the background as well as a goat/ram? And the name Steven. And some maybe cursive.
 
there's dave at the bottom too
 
I got to screw with FiM a little bit, it seemed pretty solid and fun. I'll tell myself that's the reason why I'll try this out, and not because I will literally play any fighting game.

So they went the polar opposite of MLP? We're now going to play Eternal Darkness Equestria's redemption and I'm ok with this.

I'm wondering if that picture means we're getting a sheep that will play sort of like Fluttershy. Only instead of calling animals to help, it'll be calling satanic goat creatures.

I would be so into that.
 
It's one of those really good feelings in life where you go to a message board you haven't been to in a really long time and just HAPPEN to stumble upon an interesting nugget of info.

If anybody is still interested, the art guy for Tribute Edition released a graphical update that improves upon low-res stage backgrounds and Rainbow Dash's animations. The addition of animations to Fluttershy's stage was a particularly notable improvement.

Some one, anyone, uh Drewski you know about this stuff right? Pls someone explain to me why would there be Horns on a Female Bovine. Like uh... what?
 
In some breeds of cows both sexes have horns.

Yup. Some cattle are naturally hornless. This is called being “polled” and is a genetic trait in cattle that can be passed down to their offspring. It’s also common for cattle on farms to have their horns removed as very young babies, so they never grow, and to have the horns on adult cattle cut or blunted so they don’t hurt each other or the people working with them.

As for the idle animation: very smooth and Flash-like. Some blinks would be nice...

She's pretty. I think it's safe to assume that she'll be the stand-in for Rarity. So far, she's the one I want to main. Especially if she ends up playing anything like Rarity did.

I'm gonna tell you something you will never be able to unsee:

It looks like she has a really, really nice beard.

So, to recap, what characters have been revealed/hinted at so far?

1) Cow (surely the Applejack of the game)
2) Reindeer (with her grace it has to be the Rarity)
3) Alpaca (which I'd assume is the Pinkie Pie, just look at that carefree party animal)

+) demon book with goat creature sketches
Twilight's stand-in because magical book?
Fluttershy's Double because controlling animals and beasts + bunny bookmark?
Steven the unplayable boss (plz no)?

Have I missed/forgot about anything?
