Re: My Little Pony LXIX: Only Slightly On Fire!
Lix, this might make you feel better; My daughter might have become the fandom's youngest shipper. She was playing with her ponies the other evening and had a wedding thing going on. Twilight was being married off to Pinkie Pie.
And somehow the CMC were behind this.
I was proud of that trainwreak.
Oggie Doggies, that's a lot of Blogies!

A question; If they can be granted immortality, couldn't they also take it away? It's a pretty common ability in fiction that a powerful being can give up that power so they can live a mortal life.
Just a curiosity thing. Not meaning to derail a topic. I just-

Empty hearts, empty meets
The sun goes down alone

You got your mane combed back and harmony on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

Said 'people' consist of my immediate family, half of whom don't know about my love of the pone for my own peace of mind's sake. And given that one of them is currently going through a nasty bout with a long-term illness, I rather think that belting out pony musical numbers aren't going to aid in her relaxation much.

Re: My Little Pony LXIX: Only Slightly On Fire!
Yeah, it's comic someone did for laughs, but still... It's much more realistic, IMHO, than wishful thinking that somehow everything will be okay, mostly through grasping at whatever spell can 'fix' stuff.
You know, I had some new thoughts on this matter in the light of Equestria Girls and Comic #9, but since these wouldn't interest anyone (talking about ponies? In this thread? What crazy idea was that? ) I'd only say well written story to me has one thing - consequence. If hero is making a choice, there should be repercussions to it, costs to be paid. They can be conquerable in the end, but if they are absent, the story is just not there.
"Twilight was upgraded by Celestia", mostly without consent or information? Well, in good story, that should make some splash in the pond. Making it just 'you're Twilight 2.0, totally awsum and radikal, and nothing unexpected/bad/problematic will ever come out of it' is not good story, it is writing the other Twilight with sparkly vampires that got Sueish upgrades thrown at them as the plot and author's whim demanded. With great power comes great struggle, remove that and you drop to a level of 12 year old making first ever fanfic, IMHO.
Which is also why I believe ending of S3 was horribly rushed, virtually any thing with consequence of note there was Twilight mindlessly casting dangerous spell, then what should have been two more episodes was pushed into 8 minute speed run.Come one, come all! GitP MLP Steam Group is open!

Re: My Little Pony LXIX: Only Slightly On Fire!
First, these two would be nice designs for pony Lancer and Archer, IMHO
Um... But the thing is, lance/mount are first requirement for these. Like casting spells for wizards is. And it can't be just any random stick or horse - in Fate/SN and Fate/Zero lancers wield most legendary spears in Irish history, while riders have the pegasus (first and original one) and most well known and legendary horse of antiquity, horse that was supposedly gift from gods, horse that also got burial fit of king and a whole city founded just to oversee it. Make it just a stick and it will be useless against heroic spirit.
I'd also want to note that F/SN assassin, Kojiro, and Fate/Extra Li Shuwen were both 'in your face' people wearing bright clothes, that never did any assassination in life but just had stealth skills and secret techniques. Just like Rainbow Dash
Eh, I don't mind nitpicks, but I'd expect them to make even a tiny amount of sense. Niticking something movie hammered ten times as impossible is just dumb, IMHO
Since you're familiar with the other games can you tell if the Archers are like Thanqol said? Highly equipment based champions in comparison to the other heroes?
...but it's because Archers have lower base stats and generally are useless in melee. They use that equipment to bridge the gap to Knight classes, but certainly don't discard it lightly+, don't engage in melee*, and all prefer highly skilled ranged combat. So, these parts were pretty much all wrong.
+They might have legendary ammunition, but none of them expend resources as liberally as Emiya so he is an outlier, not a base in class.
*Note - if you summon someone extremely strong like Hercules or mentioned before Indian archer they have to some extent capability to engage weak melee hero, but they are still better at just shooting him to death.
Also, when I thing about if, Emiya's bow / broken phantasm and Gilgamesh's Gate / Ea are four strongest weapons of the two, and none of them is melee in nature, sorry.
I think it's ambiguous on the speed part since the main character is able to keep up with him anyways. The point was that despite Saber completely outclassing him, he did manage to win a duel using surprise and an unusual technique that she struggled to understand.
Though, Nasu is very poor at imagining speeds - Spirits move at the above speed of sound, but somehow, none of how it should look like is in the game, instead speed is just slightly above human
To be fair I'm saying he'd be able to beat a spirit if that spirit was denied all of their equipment. That the nearly all of the heroes are equipment based and denying them that is a huge drop of power for most of them.
I can think of 3 examples of extremely deadly humans, Kuzuki, Kotomine, and Bazett, all experienced martial artists with magical weapons, and they all got their behinds handed to them by heroes not paying even full attention...
Actually Assassin makes for a pretty hilarious joke as well. She's supposed to be stealthy and using sneak attacks and instead she fights and acts more like Rider from Fate/Zero.Come one, come all! GitP MLP Steam Group is open!

Re: My Little Pony LXIX: Only Slightly On Fire!
We could give her LIXI instead.
Well I still maintain that Twilight was the one who upgraded herself to Alicorn and thus Princess. Celestia certainly enabled her to do so but Twilight became an Alicorn by doing what she loved, creating magic and being with her friends. I'd say it was more then likely that Twilight would have ended up following the same path even if Celestia had done nothing at all.
Regardless I'm perfectly fine with the idea of Twilight outliving her friends. I just don't think that'll be the WORST POSSIBLE THING! as so many other people seem determined to think. Sure outliving your friends sucks, but Spike has a very very long lifespan ahead of him, you've got 3 other ponies who will live just as long as you, and there's nothing stopping you from making new friends.
That is a really cool design.
Rainbow Dash is a legendary pegasus. I can see the magic getting confused and skipping over the Rider part. After all it's only supposed to summon humans in the first place. Still Assassin is also hilarious as an option. Pinkie Pie on the other hoof would be a terrifying Assassin.
Which nitpick was that? Plenty of the other ones seemed legit.
Good to know.
He did do that to Shiro, but I'm talking about his fight with Saber. He managed to land hits and even win that one duel due to his unconventional technique and being incredibly skilled. Even Shiro was able to deflect blows from Servants so it's not beyond human ability to land a blow or deflect one, just incredibly hard and it's hardly a winning ability to do so.
Sure, I'm not saying it would be easy or that they'd be weaker then a human. It just puts them at a point where a human can win with extreme difficulty rather then essentially having no chance at all.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: My Little Pony LXIX: Only Slightly On Fire!
If you're looking at a timeline where Dash gets the chance to become the right kind of legendary to end up as a Heroic Spirit, you are probably talking about something like the Fallout Equestria 'verse.
In which, amongst other things, Wingblades are totally a thing.
So if you're holding out for gear, problem solved. Rainbow Dash gets summoned as Falloutverse Rainbow-Dash Saber?

Re: My Little Pony LXIX: Only Slightly On Fire!
Eh, there was mentioned that hero age is determined by class. If someone was good with bow when young, then with sword when old, he will be different age based on Archer / Saber class. So, you have got a lot of leeway here, simply pick best / most dramatic fit for Rainbow Dash, and that's it...

Re: My Little Pony LXIX: Only Slightly On Fire!
Regarding the Fate/stay pony discussion, if people are still trying to match them up aside from Caster nopony makes a clear candidate and you have to invent lots of things to do it. That said here's my own take:
Saber: The class of all around best stats, wave motion swords of doom, and cute blond girls with the same face. This lends itself in my mind mostly to AJ who's the generally most competent of the ponies. Also the fartherst from over magic befitting a high MR class, while second best with animals thus fitting Riding.
Archer: The class of missile weapons and independence, but the two chief examples are also rule breaking and being awesomely OP'd. Because she has a party cannon (among other missile use) and no respect for the common rules of expectation, plus high senses... its Pinkie Pie. She can take Independent Action, from reality.
Lancer: The class of speed rather oddly but known for their mobility and not much else for whatever reason. I think this makes a natural fit for Dashie as by far the swiftness of our mane six. She also rather matches Lancer's own attitude.
Rider: Well its just a little silly to have ponies have mounts themselves so this class requires a bit of reintpretation. However if anyone is able to summon aid from a Phantasmal Species it would have to be Fluttershy. Who also as our other pegasus retains a certain element of mobility. And well this happened, makes far far far too much sense on many levels.
Caster: Duh!
Assasin: Both because of a bit of missing options and being the only other class with a call for much you know, subtlety and grace... Yeah its Rarity of course. Also fits an elegant (though BS) example like Kojiro and a crossover with magic like Semiramis.
Berserker: Oh no out of ponies right? Yeah but we do have a character that's actually gone on a rampage before with enhanced abilities related too that. So yeah its Spike.
Also special rule breaking extra that shouldn't be but shows up anyways.
Obviously you have to put in quite a bit to make this actually work as only Dashie has anything close to a decent Noble Phantasm. Consequently I think she could go in several classes, like Saber as she's arguably the strongest in a fight. However I think this balances everything fairly well.
There's any dispute about that? The final magical effect that did it clearly came right out of Twilight's chest in a purple color. That should be pretty obvious I would think given the whole episode that is clearly Twilight's own development not Celestia being able to just dispense Alicornation. That sort of thing has to be stated to be held as accurate.
Celestia did send the book so she's involved like that of course. But being half puppetmaster is any good mentor's natural vocation.

Re: My Little Pony LXIX: Only Slightly On Fire!
to be honest, my therory is that all the mane six have the potential to be Alicorns(And might actually become so in series, if acorns are immortal, it would help with the "Twiliht won't outlive her friends thing")
my head canon is that Starswirls spell works to facilitate ones destiny, and has nothing to do with Alicornification in general(Ergo, Twi was always going to sprout wings, the spell just made it happen sooner.)
I think it has something to do with the Elements(Hence them activating to send her to Celestias Spy room), as well as the Ponies Special talent.
Think, Twilights special talent is magic, and her comepleting the spell, thus Creating new Magic, required her to think about her friends.
Her special talent(Magic) and her Element(The Magic of Friendship) were both involved in the Events leading up to her accension.
If I'm right, then the other five will transform in similar circumstances, Dash in a Act of both Legendary speed and mythic loyalty, for example.
If I am right, I do not want them all to be princesses, because damn it four is enough(Noble titles are okay though) not all at once, but not individually as season enders either(Happening in stories spaced out between a season or two)
So, how likely do yall think that sounds?I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: My Little Pony LXIX: Only Slightly On Fire!
Honestly, I'm not sure what my headcanon is on Twilight's immortality status. All I really know is that I got tired of Sad Immortal Twilight before it ever really started.
As for thread title, my vote is for How Many Licks if voting is still open.

Re: My Little Pony LXIX: Only Slightly On Fire!
I'm not opposed to it. And it fits pretty well. I don't particularly like the idea as I'd much prefer her friends staying as normal ponies, or rather not all of them ascending. I could handle alicorn Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash and Applejack I don't think should ascend.
I meant I'm going for a comedic story. Having Rainbow Dash from FO:E would immediately make the story much darker and closer to the actual Fate/Stay series.
If I was going for a pure pony Grail War I'd agree. Oh and you forgot Lancer being the most awesome character in Fate/Stay. Sadly Lancer lost that title despite being pretty cool as Rider in Fate/Zero is the best thing in anime since Kamina.
Some people would argue that Celestia tricked Twilight into becoming an Alicorn against her will.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Those are just really good designs in general. It just feels closer to my vision of what Equestria's eastern lands should be like.
