Post of the Day #214

One thing I just realized. Being an athlete is basically RD's talent. AJ's isn't, yet she's roughly on par with RD most of the time. That's kinda awesome in a roundabout sorta way

Now that's more like it!

I'd say Rainbow's CM represents a love of speed and flying. She really doesn't have any inborn talent at flying (in fact she still crashes all the time) she's just gotten good through lots and lots of training.

So her CM is more about passion than skill.

Eh, I think she probably does have some talent at flying; she only crashes when she's pushing the limits of her own abilities or otherwise distracted by something.

I doubt you'd find many olympic sprinters who regularly trip over their own feet just because someone yells at them while they're running. tongue

Whatever magic makes Pegasi fly, Dash is packing a lot of it to explain those speeds.

Oh, and ahoy hoy.

It's not really equivalent to olympic sprinting; she seems to be focusing on stunt-flying rather than straight-up racing. Or, at least, she seems to be practicing stunt-flying whenever we see her crashing.
I have a message from another time...

[up][up][up]You don't see Dash normally crash when she's flying really fast in a straight line; only when she's doing a trick of some sort. To use your analogy, you do sometimes see Olympic sprinters trip over hurdles, and you certainly see performance athletes like gymnasts screw up and fall off the balance beam or whatever.

I think doing complex arial stunts is probably a little bit harder to pull off than running in a straight line.

Not that she can't sprint. Sonic Rainboom Speeds and all.

This is way I'm looking forward to the Wonderbolts Academy episode. Let's see the standards of others.

One wonders how she can manage to shift back into a climb fast enough to avoid smashing into the ground after doing one of those.

Presumeably the same magic that allows her to breaak the laws of aerodynamics and generate lift with those wing allows her to break the other laws of aerodynamics.

Her native pegasus magic must be strong then. Also she probably trained her body up to serious athlete-tier.

She's probably just like Twilight in a way. Started off with a lot of potential, which becomes better realized through rigorous training (as opposed to intensive study).

Well excuuuse me, Mr. Wizard, but some of us don't have spell slots.

As if it is my fault that you chose a class not capable of doing everything

Fuck it, everyone knows bard is the best. Brainbending spells, buffs and debuffs, sonic magics... plus, nobody expects a lute to the head.

Or take Exotic Weapons and Concealed Weapons, and then reveal a Surprise Party Cannon and let them eat cake at cannonball speeds.

You guys got it easy. I don't think zombies like me can even get class levels.
