Oddly, RD has moved MUCH faster than she did in Sonic Rainboom on certain occasions and DIDN'T produce a Sonic Rainboom.

May the Best Pet Win, anyone?

A human falling to earth in a special suit can reach speeds of like...150mph. Even if Dash was only doing something like 300mph for the Rainboom...that's still pretty impressive.

wild mass guess Unless...the Rainboom only happens because a mystical force lets it happen...the mane six were born to weild the Eo H...a Rainboom was needed to get them a CM each...to save Rarity etc. (Btw, I'm not sure the rainnuke is the same thing).

But if reaching 300mph is the only criteria necessary for breaking the Magic Barrier (although, a Sonic Rainboom is defined as being when you make a rainbow and a Sonic boom at the same time. Implying that the two can be done seperately) then I highly doubt they'd be as rare as they are.

Pinkie said a Sonic Boom and Rainbow happens all at once didn't she?

Dam...I can't do it. I can't deminish Dash's awesomeness...stupid bitch.

See what I fucking mean?

Stupid favouritism (pouts)

Ah well, even RD can't do everything. (that's Twilight sad )

Yeah, Twilight is still the most powerful, with her as second. That puts AJ and FS joint third.

I dunno, I still don't think a fight between them would be as one sided as everyone seems to think it is. They got into a serious fight in Fall Weather Friends, remember, and they seemed pretty equal. (AJ actually TACKLED RD out of the fucking sky)

AJ and RD I mean

Favoritism? I'm not bitter that The Princess of the Night doesn't get nearly as much screentime as is befitting Her regal stature in Equestria, no, not at all bitter.

Naming convention:

Earth ponies are named after foods? Unicorns named after celestial things? Pegasi named after weather phenomena? Not a hard and fast rule, but it makes sense..

Guys I've just an idea for how the next big villian will appear...and it involves the Windigos and the Penguin Empire.

Penguin agents (traitor ponies probably) trigger some sort of race war...which gets the Windigos into action...they freeze the land, but that means nothing to the Penguins, who roll into the New Antarctic...and only the fire of friendsip can undo it.

Nah, Celestia would just hang the sun in the sky for a long time and turn up the thermostat.

Not like the opposite - that of keeping the sun down for a long time - is impossible. If one, than the other.

[up] Hear that?

That's the sound of my fanon and fic idea crashing like a Rainuke. sad

Edit: Unless the agents hit her with poison joke nerve gas bomb then capture and imprison her.

Celestia is EASILY one of the biggest obstacles facing any mlp fanfic writer. I don't write, but I like to come up with ideas, and she's ALWAYS a problem.

Or Celestia and Luna can only exist with racial unity...pony races start fighting...they fade away...pony races come together...they reappear.

[up][up] I think I've come up with a pretty believable way to de-power Celestia for my fic. After banishing NM and taking up control of both sun and moon, she hasn't gotten a single wink of sleep in a thousand years. Even for an immortal that's gotta be pretty taxing. It's also great for explaining any stupid decisions she makes.

For all of her great power at very least we know she is not omniscient. Conspiracies, espionage and other subtle plans would be the route to go for anyone wanting to put an Equestria-wide threat in their fics.

That is not to say invasions are impossible, but it necessitates either getting Celestia out of the picture or bringing up another godly figure.

@Applelight: Were you trying to diminish RD's achievements before? If so, why?

Thst's why one of my ideas has the Dragon Emperor being roughly on par with Celestia power-wise

And she gets imprisoned within her Castle right at the very beginning

@ Mio

Because I dislike her...because I'm petty. sad

@ Ginger

Oh yeah...in a straight up fight AJ and RD are equal...but thanks to her flying skills RD is probably the more powerful to the group overall.

I've always seen Windigo spelt "Wendigo." That's also how it's spelt in The Hub's captioning. I don't want to change the five-million-or-so references to "Windigo"s on the episode recap page unless I'm sure it's a misspelling.

Also, I'm lazy. tongue

You'd have to wake up really early in the morning to pull a fast one on Celestia. So early, in fact, that you then have to contend with Luna, as well.

I'd hate to be the guy who ticks both of them off.

[up][up][up][up]That could work I suppose.

I on the other hand have always been more fascinated by how mortals (even exceptionally powerful ones) might try to subvert their rule.

[up][up][up]That's not surprising. Compared to other places we are pretty anti-Rainbow Dash here. Though yes, you should try not to be petty in your. . .character bashing.

I was happy with that idea too...but nah, the two princesses have everything covered.

And I'll finish by saying.....RD is awesome...and a bit of a dick.

I'd have to say RD is my least-favorite of the Mane Six. My favorite changes all the time.

@Mio Personally, I don't like unbalanced groups. Realism be FUCKED, I just hate it when one person is consistantly superior to another. Especially when the gimmick is that their supposed to be a group.

That's why I tend to try and diminish Dash's achievments.

Yeah, that's why the pony tabletop I'm currently designing specifically says you can't choose "magic" as your cutie mark in the ruleset.
