I know that you're only joking, but not even ponychan does that ... that I know of, last visit a month ago.

Anyway, it would probably help to know what sort of magic unicorn magic is. Twilight did say that magic is scientific and there's Celestia's school. I guess gifted unicorns just mean unicorns born with wider talents than others?

Edit: Derpy on zodiac. What is that supposed to mean, us Pisces are comparable to an ascended meme of an animation error?!

They do have the air superiority that the others lack.

And their base is literally in the clouds. That's kind of hard to invade for a non-flier.

When you think about it. The only cast members that aren't broken are Rare and Fluttershy

Oh dear.

I just imagined Rainbow Dash five or so years later as a Broken Bird.

All the ponies are broken, Ginger. Rarity is one serious social-fu adept with martial arts and Crafting skills, and Fluttershy is basically a... nice Beastmaster with a Paralysing Stare who can actually catch up to Dashie while towing a hot-air balloon.

I remember RD smashing through that barn wall...but I put that down to the momentum of flying at it rather than her strength.

Umm. . .why?

That last bit always made me wonder how solid RD's claim of "fastest flier in Equestria" really is.

I put most of RD's stunts down to her momentum speed rather than her strength. She's like The Flash in that regard.

Fluttershy catching up to RD ust made me go... what?

As RD gains speed, she approaches the Awesome Barrier, which can only be broken by those who are worthy. Succeeding in doing so creates an explosion of awesomeness, radicalness, and coolness.

If she wasn't strong, that would've broken her too. Newton's Third law and all that.

I dunno, random train-of-thought derail triggered by the word "broken" and the fact that RD has wings.

She just needs a Break the Haughty moment.

Ah, the way I see it,

Pegasi are the most agile thanks to their flight...this is what makes them good warriors...they can fly around their foes and use all four legs to fight...if they were 40k models they'd have good Weapon Skill...good Initative...and of course, would be Jump Infantry. They might even have Furious Charge too.

Magical cartoons.

Been there, done that, read the many many fics.

The power of comedy supersedes Newtonian mechanics.

Earth Ponies are probably the only ponies strong enough to take Terminator Armor.

Also a squad with a unicorn can deep strike.

Neuman. I don't think Newtonian Physics apply in this world the same way it does in ours.

Fluttershy has a tendency to go into Limit Break mode whenever her friends are in danger. Thing is, if her friends aren't in danger she can't access any of that power. So while she can temporary compare to RD's speed, it's not reliable.

Alternatively, you could also compare Pegasi either to Light 'Mechs or LA Ms.

Ponies are all superpowered because they are descendants of the original Dream Valley inhabitants who had a lot of monsters and invasions to deal with.

Also, there's a pretty big difference between strength and toughness. RD might be weak in the sense that she can't lift much, but at the same time she's resilient enough that she can smash into a barn at high speed without being too badly injured.

Still kinda makes that whole "training for years" thing seem kinda weird if anger is capable of improving one's performance THAT much.

Hey, Pegasi can create little tornados and create thunder right?

Good warrior skills...but would they work against a Buffalo...when E Ps K.O them with pie?

Just to clarify, I mean the Broken Bird trope, not "Rainbow Dash injures/loses her wings". I'd heard of plenty of the latter, but not so much of the former.

#65123 Sky Strike Thu, 5th Jan '12 5:44:24 PM from over the Rainboom

They could create tornadoes if they fly around fast enough, but the only one we've seen do so is RD. Also, I see it as when they kick the cloud, they discharge any excess lightning. They don't create it, only let it out.

She just needs a Break the Haughty moment.

Having her wing pinned by the boulder in MTBPW is the closest we've gotten to that, I think. It looked like only one feather was pinned, though. Wimp.
