26 episodes.

@ Ginger

This should cheer you up.

AJ was one second faster around the barrel race than RD (17 to 18), but was penalised 5 secs for clipping a barrel.

In the Running Of The Leaves, she could outpace RD easily (RD needed to exert effort to keep up).

Plus...her kick is massively more powerful than RD's.

Now, why RD won the hoof wrestling is debatable.

Are you resentful over Rainbow's superiority?

26 episodes.

My only solice (apart from those) is that even RD is impressed with AJ's skills.

I just wish we could SEE more of them

No, seriously. I'm about a second away from crying here. Why does no one care about my favourite characters?

sorry, I'm in snowball mode at the moment. Once little bit of depression gets me going, I start snowballing

Well, halfway there, I guess. Does this series have an overarching storyline?

Eh, it happens.

I like Applejack. She's my favourite Earth Pony. On a good day I'll think she's better than Rarity.

The Grand Galloping Gala is mentioned three times and the Cutie Mark Crusaders form a kind of storyline if you squint.

^^ Not really. The closest it comes to that is that Twilight's friendship reports make an appearance in the second season premier.

AJ can also lasso a speeding RD out of the air (which pretty much means she can lasso ANYTHING out of the air)

But Rainbow Dash was pulling Cloudsdale at the time.

I created rules for AJ in a 40k system (because I'm like that ).

Apart from superior weapon skill and initative, I give her the ability to lasso an enemy, preventing them from fighting back. She's pretty good against single targets and small units.

STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL WORSE!!

I'm trying to convince myself that the character I love isn't completely worthless!

Calm ginger, calm.

AJ will get her moment. And besides, she's by far the most level headed and depenable one.

She's the Lancer of the group!

Lancer?

I still think that AJ is the Boring, but Practical pony. Yeah, she doesn't have much flash (and I don't think big flashy moves fit her character very well anyway), but she's by far the most reliable pony. Yeah, she broke down a bit in Applebuck Season, but it took several straight days of hard work with no sleep to cause trouble. Pretty much all the other ponies have rather crippling issues:

• Twilight's social skills suck, and her magic backfires massively on several occasions
• Rainbow Dash's stunts fail almost as often as they work, and she tends breakdown immediately the second something goes wrong
• Pinkie Pie has no clue how to communicate well, and if the singing telegram thing is anything to go by, she has very little stamina
• Fluttershy is cripplingly shy in most circumstances, and she totally loses the ability to fly if she's too stressed
• Rarity isn't exactly the most empathetic pony; and saying that she's a drama queen is a massive understatement
• Applejack's main flaw is that she works too hard. As far as character flaws go, that's a pretty good one to have.

And as far as the hoof wrestling: it uses the forelegs. Applejack's hind legs get all the workout from bucking apples. They're probably several orders of a magnitude stronger than her forelegs.

@Ginger: Nobody is saying that she's completely useless. Calm down. Just because somebody prefers Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie doesn't mean they hate Applejack.

Yeah Applejack isn't useless. Now Pinkie Pie if one pony was going to be The Load it's her.

As I said. Snnowballing. In the state I'm in now, hearing that EVERY OTHER character is more competent than her is as good as calling her useless

(deep breaths)

AJ sure got sum fahn kick.

I have this feeling that if she kicked that dragon on the jaw like RD did...okay, it still wouldn't do anything, but it would work better than RD's.

Anyways, AJ is also Honesty, which means at some point she might step up to call out some scammer.

Oh ho HO! Wait until you watch "Party of One"! Pinkie/Dash fans love that episode!

one of my fav AJ moments

I actually think it would've knocked the dragon out. Look at the power difference between their kicks

The latest episode was pretty good for Flutterdash IMO.

I honestly think that AJ could be my favorate pony, mostly because she has no obvious abilitys over the others outside of stregth and stamina, yet is still equal with the rest, largly due to her main flaw being simply increadibly determined, which is useful most of the time anyway.

Well, its her or Pinkie pie. I like random.

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

She is also a douchebag all the time. I think AJ's main character flaw is pointed out in the slumber party episode: she tries to solve everything on her own, without thinking. She's also too high-brow to ask for help. You do understand this isn't Shounen? This isn't really about who's the strongest, because that would be Pinkie, or who's best, because that's Fluttershy.

AJ's flaw is that she is stubborn.
