Little PonyBecause Friendshipof Isthis Magicit was hit with a Cease and Desist letter from Hasbro, and Mane6 completely abandoned the project, discarding the original premise, game engine, and art assets. They shifted their focus to a completely original game called ''[[Them's Fighting Herds]]'', an early access version of which was released through [[Humble Bundle]] in 2018, with the final "1.0" version scheduled for release some time in 2020. To show that there were no hard feelings, [[Lauren Faust]] created all-new characters for the game.

Line 18 ⟶ 14:
* [[The Beast Master]]: If the teaser pic for Fluttershy is to be believed, her fighting moves may entirely rely on her animal friends while she herself [[Actual Pacifist|will never actually fight]].
** A member of the Mane Six stated on the official Ponychan thread that this was not the case. Fluttershy is not so heartless as to allow her animal friends to put themselves at risk for her, at least without her facing even greater risk.
* [[Crazy Enough to Work]]: Well, it IS a fighting game featuring the cast of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''
* [[Disney Owns This Trope]]: Development of the game was abandoned and all code, assets and artwork deleted when Hasbro sent the development team a Cease and Desist letter.
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: [[Memetic Mutation|Bionic Farm]], Applejack's level 1 (and currently only) super, is this.
* [[Edible Ammunition]]: Pinkie Pie's level 1 super has her jump up and fling a barrage of cupcakes, [[Pie in the Face|followed by a pie]], at her opponent.
Line 44 ⟶ 41:
** [[Shoryuken]]: Her failed teleport (teleport & appear again in the same spot) move was described as the closest she has to one.
* [[Spell Book]]: Twilight uses one for most of her attacks.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: ''[[Them's Fighting Herds]]''
* [[Teleport Spam]]: Twilight is capable of this, as is Pinkie Pie, although Pinkie just runs off one end of the screen and wraps around to the other side. She's also somehow able to run off the side of the screen and deliver an elbow drop from above.
* [[Throw the Book At Them]]: Twilight Sparkle's weapon of choice for air combos is her [[Spell Book]].
