Right? On their website they had the official pre alpha video and a better image of the character select that Mane6 uses on their site. The article also had positive things to say about it. Did they start hating MLP sometime in between?
Oh um...there was a new update showing a revised version of the Applejack stage from the pre-alpha video.

Apparently FiM was shown in GamePro magazine. It doesn't seem very positive.

That Rainbow Dash fightstick doesn't look too bad. Depending on how the game turns out I wouldn't mind representing Luna on a fightstick.
They seem to be doing everything through DLC so I don't know why they would offer it as a disk release. Unless they start doing things like they did with Guilty Gear.
Yes Twilight uses books! That is amazing.
Mane6's new site is up. Plus a short update on the Twilight animation. Still can't reach the site form Google, but this link should work I think.

I didn't even consider Photofinish having a grab. That is kinda neat.
I'm sure Nightmare Moon will be in it and I will be happy. Long range pokes, lightning strikes from the sky, and teleporting mist. I don't know what Luna would be like. A toned down but faster Nightmare Moon with a mix of rush down and zoning?
I have a terrible habit of trying to attack Hakumen when lasers are going off and teleporting a 1/3 of the screen to him so he can throw me.
Ugh. I hate fighting Tager. If I have to fight Tager I pick Noel.
As funny as Photofinish is I don't know if I could see her in the game. She is one of the few ponies that isn't one of the main six with a personality that isn't fan made. Maybe she would have some kind of stun mechanic from her camera?
Hmm...its tough. Derpy is almost all fan made but it would be terrible not to include her in the game. And above all others I really want Luna but she only had ten seconds on screen.
I've heard the three rotating character idea for the CMCs. I think that would be interesting to see and it will free up two character slots.
Wouldn't Spike be too small? Everypony else will all be using the same color swapped pony palette, and Spike is kinda tiny compared to them. Wouldn't that mess things up? Gilda isn't a pony but she is around the same size as one. A bruiser with an air dash?
Its magic. They don't have to explain anything.
Most of my favorite characters are minor besides Fluttershy and Twilight. Nightmare Moon has to be in the game. I mean who else are they going to have as the boss character?
Oh no please don't do that.

But, uh...you know, um... Whatever you wanna do is fine.
