I don't think Fluttershy can fight, actually.

And Pinkie can do anything as long as it's funny.

-_-

I was thinking more about Fluttershy vs. the Bear.

Then again, that only looked like a fight scene at first glance, so maybe she doesn't really have any combat skills at all.

And Ginger, I share your reaction.

I think she knows meditative martial arts and doubles using them for chiropractory

@ Ace

I like a lot of things.

And it's Element Of Lust...so yeah, what do you expect?

Anyway, I can picture Rarity doing martial arts mostly to remain in shape. Good figures are hard to maintain after all.

and I imagine AJ knowing more boxing and kickboxing and street fighting rather than the more fancy martial arts.

Twi in a fisticuffs stance in Dragon Quest was adorable!

And then there's this nugget.

@ ginger

Yeah it was.

Since ponies don't eat meat, what could they use in place of a side of meat for boxing?

@Applelight Maybe a hay bale?

Well they do have punching bags (as seen in SSCS6K)

Not sure why AB is riding it though (besides Rule of Cute of course )

She was doing push ups on it.

wut?

Hmmm...

I bet Rarity practices Yoga. So if she was a Street Fighter II character, she'd be Dhalsim (I wonder if she can stretch like he does).

I keep wanting to think Applejack would be Guile, but Guile has military training, Applejack doesn't (least, so far as I know).

Rainbow Dash is definitely Ken (I say Ken instead of Ryu because Ken has a boisterous, egotistical side and Ryu doesn't).

Twilight Sparkle...for some reason I want to say she's more like Chun Li.

and Pinkie Pie is, of course, Blanka.

If Fluttershy fought at all, she'd be Dan Hibiki (although, I think we can argue that Pinkie would also be Dan Hibiki. EDIT: And I effed up by saying "Street Fighter II characters and then went and mentioned Dan, who first appeared in the Alpha games).

... Incidentally, all the sudden I have a case of the shakes. Anyone got any theories? I don't think I ate anything bad, and I'm not cold...

@ Ginger: If you watch carefully, you'll see that while AJ is kicking it, Applebloom is doing push ups. Though I suppose it would be push sideways.

you saying Rarity can breath fire? (raises eyebrow)

btw, has anyone here seen Top Gun? Can anyone tell me why it's considered such a gay movie?

Oh, I see it. D'awwwwwwwwww!

"You can be my wingman any day" "No, you can be mine"

And they play volleyball together apparently.

And something about flying phallic vehicles.

I dunno I've never seen it.

Hello, everyone.

@Ginger There's a lot of Ho Yay in it. But if you want a really gay movie just watch Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. There's no gay subtext. Just gay text.

Bloom on the punching bag was cute.

I saw A Game Of Shadows.

... I guess I'm just no good at picking up on subtext

Since we're talking about Ho Yay, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost once wrote some slash fiction about themselves. It was called Hot Fuzz.

Rarity breathing fire would be interesting, but I just on a whim thought maybe her and Dhalsim have similar martial philosophies (which wouldn't be completely weird).

Hey Ging, since you're big on villains and we're on SFII, what do you think of M. Bison? Or Akuma?

Didn't they give the cut love interest's lines to Danny without changing most of them?

Yarp.

Sandor is best shop worker.

I don't know enough about Street Fighter

The only version of Bison I saw was the one played by Raul Julia (who was awesome)

@ginger The only reference I have for that is from the Bonds Beyong Time Abridged Movie:

YUSEI: How could a movie where the male protagonists call each other cute nicknames, and play volleyball, and ride their phallic vehicles at extremely high speeds be anything but straight?

@Bad The only Sandor I know by name is of the Clegane variety, so thanks for that mental image
