Just a disclaimer. I'm... sorta aware there are some people in the world who don't really support this kind of... um, stuff. To be precise, downloading (leaked) games in development online. If any of you guys seeing this share the same aspect... well, I can't say anything can I? But if you don't mind, at least read the rest of my journal;





Just out of curiosity of how this game really was as is before it hit a dead end, I downloaded MLP: Fighting is Magic in its last state during development.

First impressions; B*ckin' love it!! I'll admit, fighting games isn't exactly my expertise but I can call myself a quick learner from my past experiences (I played Tekken and Marvel vs Capcom on my cousin's PS3).

Overall, its a really sweet game. I had loads of fun in the first hour. Its a really big shame its unfinished, Rainbow Dash doesn't have her voice and her animations are choppy. Worst of all is Fluttershy. She has not only has no voice, but no animation whatsoever so watching her fight is really really weird.

Discounting the 2 pegasi as they're basically not complete, Twilight, AJ, Rarity and Pinkie Pie's fighting styles are just awesome. It really comes down to how the player can control these characters. Me being on a keyboard, Pinkie Pie is the easiest to execute combos and super moves. Rarity comes in second. Twilight and AJ are hard on the keyboard as their specials and supers require a complex combo which I can't execute fast enough on the keyboard.


In the end, this is awesome progress for a MLP fighting game WIP. Yes, I was upset like everyone else when Hasbro sent out those Cease & Desist orders to the devs. However, as the devs are still continuing the project replacing the copyrighted material with new characters, moves and backgrounds with the aid of Lauren Faust, if the completed game is going to be as badass as the original, than I might have another game that I'll be addicted to, even if the Mane 6 won't be in the final game anymore..

Yeah my friend has the leaked version also. I heard the makers might send out a patch to put the main six back in as a cut and past over the playable character models.
