I was walking around CEO and I happened to come across this game. I've never seen it before but it look pretty interesting I couldn't stay long to catch more matches. I never hear anyone talked about this game, can someone give me a quick run down about this game? I don't even know the name.

no

the soundtrack has one of the best ideas i have ever seen

the stage themes change depending on the character who's winning

It's never talked about, and rightly so, because it's a reskinned ponyfucker game.

Thems Fightin Herds is the title I think. All I know about it is that the game used to be that MLP fanmade fighting game before Hasbro shut it down. It also uses the Skullgirls engine, so I assume the people making this game know their shit.

i played a pirated version, it's pretty good

every character has a "magic" system, it basically translates to the EX bar, the differences are:

>every character fills it in a different way, and has a different amount of magic bars
>some attacks require a full magic bar, acting as pseudo-supers
>some characters use magic as an utility

>the stage themes change depending on the character who's winning
That's pretty neat I don't think any other fighting game has that feature.
Oh that's probably why.
How's the game overall?

The dynamic music thing and some of the supers seem interesting but ehh, I lost my will to get any more fighting games after getting Skullgirls because I realized I get frustrated easily and can't into frame-autism.

It's actually very good (though still very light on content). It's stuck without a place to be discussed on Yea Forums since there's that small horse rule that isn't even needed any more.

Game is legit as all fuck actually
It's basically 1v1 skullgirls but a bit simpler, with a focus on characters having unique playstyles and being very strong but held back by system mechanics letting you deal with them.
Very potent offense but they way the game's version of undizzy works limits repeated combos really hard, yeah you can eat a 60 hit 40% life combo but if you play it safe on wakeup and don't tech roll or hit a button your undizzy/juggle decay bar will stay full and the gravity scaling is cranked so even if you get hit by their oki they can only get 1/5th the reward from it. And it also has pushblock and instant block and dead angles to deal with pressure in an interesting way, which is necessary because some of the characters are absolute monsters.
Basic execution is pretty easy for everyone but the sheep puppet character, it manages to be really easy to pick up without oversimplifying and still lets characters have all the nutty stuff that makes anime games fun.
Fantastic netcode, solid balance, small cast but lots of playstyle variety with complex characters so it's not as bad as it seems. Really good online lobby system like a more developed version of arcsys lobbies.
Still in early access but at this point all the basic gameplay stuff is pretty much done, they're just polishing animations and things and finishing the singleplayer. The story mode isn't out yet but it looks really promising, they're doing an overworld pseudo rpg thing where you run around and explore and do plot shit like talk to npcs as the pixelated lobby sprites and the combat is the fighting game. It's definitely ambitious as fuck but we'll have to wait to see if they can handle it.
Honestly I've got almost nothing bad to say about it. At the start the development was pretty slow and scattered but they hired a manager/coordinator and cleaned their shit up hard.

Really the only flaw is that it's banned on Yea Forums because of the tenuous pony connection.

I'm waiting for the full game to be released honestly because it's in beta stage for a year or two. The little I played was actually legit.

Also agree, this game is going to be dead in Yea Forums because of the pon rule

the thing is, it used to be a MLP fangame, then hasbro shut it down, then the creator of MLP herself made some concept art for the game and gave the dev & writer team some ideas for the story, character personalities & world

Shhhh we can't discuss this kind of stuff here, not even say the P word

>autism

Sad to hear that a very well made game with people who know their shit is hated because of their past project that was almost a decade ago and the connections to it when it's clearly a completely different game.

Who are the characters and what makes them different?

It's actually a really neat origin story, pony autism aside
>Lauren Faust makes a show
>people fall in love with it
>Hasbro wants some changes, she disagrees, they replace her
>a team of fans has somehow hacked together an almost legit fighting game in fucking FighterMaker2K, actually the best use of that "engine" ever even in its unfinished state
>they try to stay somewhat quiet about it, but this was before Hasbro was really rolling out the C&Ds hard so people weren't as cautious in general
>but then Evo has it as one of the options for a charity side tournament vote, without the dev's knowledge and bronies autism it into the win by a landslide because of course they did
>the game getting publicity makes Hasbro take notice, lawyers throw out the C&D
>Faust notices, randomly offers to design some OCs for them on twitter
>someone leaks the last dev build, totally not one of the devs and they're totally mad about it seriously who would go against hasbros wishes like that
>in the meantime they work with Faust, and instead of just reskinning their janky FM2K fighter they decide to build a new game from the ground up, Faust actually joins the team as an official member and does the character designs, writes the lore, works on the script etc
>MikeZ gives them the Z Engine because of some crowdfund shit, which is one of the best technical engines in the genre
>several years later it's finally getting close to completion, and it actually puts AAA games to shame in a lot of ways
Real rags to riches underdog shit
It really doesn't deserve the ban.

I really want other games to do stuff like this, it's such a cool fucking idea.

And the worst part is, even though the game is a solid fighting game we're never ever gonna have another one like it.
Ever.

>Oleander: Unicorn turned to dark magic and made a friend with a demonic entity in a book
>Pom: Skiddish sheep that her dogs fight for or hides behind
>Paprika: Insane Llama that uses cartoon logic
>Arizona: Sassy muscle cow with a lasso
>Tianhou: Dragonhorse with fire wings, martial artist
>Velvet: Prissy stuck up deer with ice powers

its much easier to play than skull girls though

It's not talked about on Yea Forums because there's autists that sperg over it because it has a loose connection to ponies. It's been almost a decade and people still get upset by pastel colored equines with the essential reason only being "Everyone else does it". There's not even a real reason, just bandwagoners.

>Llama
it's an Alpaca you pendejo

also, remember the goat is coming as a playable character

The characters are super sexy too.

Gameplay and mechanics are legit good, but sadly, it's a niche game within a niche genre catering to a small niche market within an already niche market. But, if they move on from the ponyshit and into the realm of real characters, they might give the big guys a run.

In a way it's almost amazing how the remade designs somehow manage to be even worse than the MLP designs it used initially.

BLEED TO DEATH JUSTPASSINGTHROUGH

>if they move on from the ponyshit and into the realm of real characters, they might give the big guys a run.
I was wondering if the developers kept the game what it is now but replaced the characters with big anime titties waifu, would the game be more popular or will it still be hated because of the game backstory?

>Arizona
Ground based rushdown cow. Stubby normals with good framedata, armor, counters, a shorthop, superjump, long range command grab lasso, good blender game and terrifying up close but has to commit to stuff in neutral. Landing a lasso gives her a magic stock that she can use for really strong specials.
>Oleander
Edgy neutral queen unicorn. Fantastic disjointed hitboxes, a double jump, fireballs, air fireballs she can double jump cancel, placeable traps, teleports, air teleports, an invincible reversal teleport, her level 2 super gives her the most broken puppet in the game for 20 seconds. She gains magic from reading with 5D, spends it on traps, teleports, and a massive high priority fast as fuck fireball. Also has a meter stealing gimmick.
>Velvet
Icicle zoner reindeer. Fantastic projectiles both in the ground and in the air. Long range low hitting ground eruptions that work like Zato's drills, fantastic defensive normals, a ridiculously good dp that's plus on block but costs magic. Gains magic passively over time, spends it on snowflakes which are projectiles that can fly in a variety of arcs, her DP, or a forward/backward wind that can pull/push the opponent around for combos or to make their approaches whiff. No low hitting normals so she has 0 real mixups but lots of chip damage and if she gets a good hit her combos can be massive.

>Paprika
Gimmicky mixup charge character alpaca. Throws fruit that sits on the ground and if you press A while standing on top of it you'll eat it, so she can effectively lock out your jab on oki, or a flowerpot that hits twice and is great for lockdown. Has great buttons on the ground and in the air, good consistent damage, weird teleports, a command grab, lots of 50/50 or reset situations that you have to know how to avoid. Uses magic for projectiles, starts with full magic and it doesn't regen.
>Pom
Puppet character sheep. Can call a variety of puppies that do different things and then command them. Easily the most complicated character in the game, but ridiculous as fuck when she gets going. Has overhead puppies that fly, following puppies that can do lows, a big puppy that has a command grab, a broken as fuck level 1 super that's plus ~100 on block and can loop on hit. Weak in neutral without setup though, long range attacks are all extremely slow and can only cancel off 5C into the weakest puppy on block without being punishable. Starts with 3 magic and uses different numbers of stocks for different puppies.
>Tianhuo
Chinese martial arts dragonhorse/longma. Magneto flight on command, that's kind of all you have to say. Great disjointed hitboxes, an air dash, ground dash low profiles, crosses up like nothing, 18 frame overheads in pressure, massive corner carry, an invincible escape flip, can cancel into flight on block and be plus, baits anti-airs easy and turns all that shit up to 11 with her level 2 super install. Only real weakness is limited damage, has to hit you a time or two more than most characters. This character is the reason pushblock exists.

>big anime tittie waifus
Of course it would. Sure, that's still a niche market, but a bigger niche than ponys.

>that isn't even needed any more
Wrong

Plays good but shitty rep for what it came from. Not bad netcode at all. Oleander players can suck my dick

Arizona or nothing
Oleanders are pussies

Paprika best floof

Velvet drool

How you holding up with this last season, bros?

No

I'm still catching up on aggretsuko no spoilers please.

I can't wait to see all you pieces of shit finally fucking hang yourselves.
111 days left, folks. Better make good use of that time.

Is this shit really still in development? Hasn't it been like 8 years

>Sassy muscle cow with a lasso
i see why this shit is banned here.

Most people don't even watch the show since season 3.

Shit at this point it might as well be.

>real characters
Why though? Quadrupedal is a pretty neat idea for a fighting game. Not groundbreaking or anything, but it's different. The designs and style are great. Why would you want just any other fighter?

I like Fausts designs when they aren't human. Her creature designs all look great and have personality. Her human designs look really bland and give me that BRATZ vibe which is just grotesque. Speaking of is there any TFH version of Gray Klutz? She is best horse.

and i cant wait until you kill yourself when you realize nothing will change

>QUADRUPEDS BAD

/) ^:)

Nope
Supposedly there's a bunch of unused concepts for characters they never got to make in FiM so she might turn up as a dlc later, but not necessarily with anything like the same personality.
First and only confirmed DLC is a goat who's gimmick is "master of balance" and can run on the walls, so probably not her.

t. "brony"

t. faggot

It plays like skullgirls so I really enjoy it but I do wish it had more characters. It's a fun if you like fighting games though it is a bit dead.

And that's a good thing!

Just wait until that day comes and we'll see who comes out on top, we know it won't be people still deluding themselves into believing they're a relevant fandom.

FUCKING BEST POST

lmaoing@your life

Fucking called it. Your autism isn't justified nor is it good.

How's the community/fighting game scene for this game? I'm guess around 10 people are online at a time.

looks more like youre the autistic one here

>ctrl+f "barney"
>no results.
I-is he alright guys? i'm worried about him.

...

Oh man, he has really devolved, glad to see he is alright though.
