Them's Fightin' Herds - Oleander Spotlight
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- The second episode of my Them's Fightin' Herds character spotlight series features Oleander, my main! This video shows you the basics and is intended for intermediate players with some knowledge of fighting games.
ERRATA (as of EA patch #10, Dec 23rd 2018)
Study is AIR OK (has always been this way; forgot to add the graphic).
All teleport variations cost 1 magic except C, but only when you are on the ground.
Fred will stop attacking if Oleander gets hit.
While Fred is out, you no longer gain any meter except for meter-stealing attacks.
j.2C (Smite) does less damage and always ground bounces, even when your opponent is on the ground.

I joined Mane6 in December of 2018 and plan to re-release an updated version of this video on the Mane6 RUclips channel at a later date. This video will be removed when that occurs.
Looks like that will never occurr
I'd love to see these videos updated, as well as videos for the other characters! Are these going to be made somewhere in the future? That would be lovely
I don't think he will delete this video lol.
Guess that didn't happen? Either way, this game rocks. If you helped make it what it is, THANK YOU!
Huh...
"Oleander has made a pact with a demon that's trapped inside a magic spellbook."
Me: Okay. Cool.
"...his name is Fred."
Me: Im buying this game.
Where do you buy this? I can't install this ;-;
Fred talks too.
He's great.
I know this is an old post, but my father pointed out that Fred could be an acronym for “Friend Request: Evil Demon” and I just about choked on my drink as a result.
that my friend, is why i love this game so much
@@CurlyHairedRogue Amazing.
I love how her tail is more of the old unicorn style than a standard tail.
Same! You can tell some aspects of her design were inspired by The Last Unicorn and I LOVE IT!
Stand Name: Fred
Stand Master: Oleander
I really want to see someone make a JoJo-Herds crossover animation.
Aaron Stavely Give it some time, the community is awesome fanart wise (I think I saw a drawing of Arizona as Old Joseph Joestar using Hermit Purple a couple of days ago)

Yare Yare...
Muel Yes
Jojokes
This feels very professional. mane6 should adopt you.
@@mikepalmer1676 What?
@@mikepalmer1676 c'mon man tell us :(
He's president of the company now. That's what's what.
Posts that aged well
THEY DID
These videos are so high quality! Mane6 should officially endorse them!
WAIT. THESE WEREN'T OFFICIAL/COMMISSIONED!?!?!?
Looks like your wish has been granted lmao
From what i know, they WERE desighned my faust, but cant be endorsed because of the violence.
Okay this is cool as fuck. Good to see that this game has gotten so far, especially with the setbacks it originally faced.
Still going strong. The devs are made of iron.
I'm glad that they recovered, it sucks that they got set back but that ended up being the best thing to ever happen to them.
Basically there's an Oleander color pallete based on Raven from Teen Titans. A unicorn that references a character voiced by Tara Strong (and also, Tara Strong is in this game). Twilight Sparkle, anyone?
Muel She’s basically the Twilight Sparkle of this game.
AnthonyM the Gamer Artist! I know (That's what I like about the fighters, You can pretty much tell who is based on each Mane 6)
Muel True:
Oleander: Twilight
Velvet: Rarity
Arizona: Applejack
Pom: Fluttershy
Paprikas: Pinkie Pie
Tianhuo: Rainbow Dash
TheYoloSpino 2.0 I know that the character development was marked mainly because of "Figthing is Magic", but, I wonder if the DLC characters will reference other show's characters (who knows)
Tara Strong voices Arizona, I think.
Oleander: Twilight
Paprika: Pinkie Pie
Pom: Fluttershy
Arizona: Applejack
Tianhuo: Rainbow Dash
Velvet: Rarity
We get it
Sketchz a lot don't tbh
So is Fred = Spike then? :P
Alma Martinez ehhh maybe
They should add more characters. Like random characters cause I already made up two characters for the game
I just wanna say I'm loving these fighting herds videos! Keep em coming.
Holy crap I didn't even know you steal energy with her magic specials and that you gain a stock from grabbing. Thanks again for such an informative video! I look forward to each one you make
lol same and ive been labbing her since I bought the game.
it's been a year and i've only just learned about it, i WONDER if it's still true
I love this horse so much.
These videos should be uploaded to the game itself or something kind of like how vain glory has in game videos showing these spotlights for each character for easy access. Plus they’re really helpful since this game dosent have and sort of tutorial yet
Ik this is late but its not really a tutorial but the combo trials are still helpful :D
"This seems like a very complicated character. I guess I'll learn Arizona first."
*accidentally picks Oleander by talking*
*wins for the first time ever*
Ok yeah not only do I like her, I can actually use her. This is my main now.
I'M a twi and flutters
Is it weird that I imagine her on the show as an "Eclipsa" like character? I imagine her with a questionable reputation between her and the Royal Sisters and Princess Twilight. I also imagine Spike befriending her similar to how Star met Eclipsa. Sometimes she would flatter him with compliments on his occupation as a hero and a ambassador and how helpful and loyal he is just to see him blush. She would be a dark magic-wielding unicorn but has a good heart who sometimes love to walk on the wild side...once you get to know her.
I'm loving these guides so far. So detailed but so fun and interesting to watch. Now just gotta wait for the Pom Spotlight but Oleander definitely looks like a strong contender.
Yesssss this looks like Twilight's equivalent from the old fighting is magic game, been waiting for this one. The things I could do with that twi were incredible and I'll definitely be picking this up when it launches!
Still can't believe you have only 1.3k subs. Video quality is so good! :3
I heard about what happened today and I just wanted to congratulate you on officially being a part of the Herd. Good luck and the best of success to you in your new job! :D
Thank you!
So this basically Fighting is Magic with the characters having different designs. They even fight exactly the same and have similar personalities.
Oleander:*summons demon
*teleports behind you*
"nothing personal Pom"
I never knew studying to be badass.
I unironically love studying, if it's for something I like.
These are awesome. Please keep it up! I really like the voice clips that you put in (that I have frankly never heard in game before). Production value boys!
Mane6 has provided me with access to assets, particularly voice lines, that aren't in the game yet. But they will be!
Great overview of one of my favorite characters to use! I really enjoy the production value, and your instructions were very informative. Can't wait for more spotlights!
She’s a bad girl who wants to save the world. I like her
Confirmed Oleander is Revan, change my mind
Didn't you mean Raven from Teen Titans?
She actually does have a Raven palette swap!
Nah, she's Arakune
Necronom Hezbarec MORTIX
U mean Darth Revan from Star Wars?
My old friend Twilight Sparkle... it's been a long time but i'm happy to see you again, even though you have changed.
These videos are awesome and very helpful for newcomers to the franchise! You deserve a lot more subs.
The team who develope this combat system are amazing
Thanks so much for doing these. These characters have hidden mechanics in this game that is nice to learn more about
Since day one, Oleander gave me Zato-1 vibes, now i know why...
i'm loving these videos....granted there's only two, but irregardless still well done sir. can't wait for Velvet's or Pom's
Slowly getting them out there... every two weeks is the current schedule.
I had my suspitions which were basically confirmed when I saw her super's name. It's a reference to Marisa Kirisame from Touhou, whose signature spell is a giant magical laser named "Master Spark".
Her character and backstory reminds me of Anakin Skywalker.
Thanks man this guide really helps out. Just saw the new update that fred cant attack anymore during oleander's block rip. Oh well
I'm absolutely not mad about that. Fred is oppressive and needed a nerf.
Okay so ranged poke, trap restands, air/ground mobility, and meter theft.
Nash. She's Nash and I love it.
Based purely on her design, animations, and nothing else, I think she could work as a villain or at least antagonist in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
And yes, I know that this started out as an FiM game.
"Dark Magic is not a toy."
~Proceeds to flail spellbook around wildly~
This is so cool I cant wait for the next video thank u buddy for your hard work
The game's Book of Lore has the roster's lore in this order:
Arizona, Velvet, Oleander, Paprika, Pom, and Tianhuo.
Oleander's full story is in Chapter 3. Here's
her backstory if anyone's interested...
www.mane6.com/?page_id=1142
TFH's world name is Foenum (pronounced as "foe-numb").
Here's a brief prologue about their world's past...

As someone who's not able to play this game, I didn't know if I liked Oleander. Now I think I do. It's nice how she's not just evil like I thought.
Thank you so much for this series!
Aaaaaaand now she has the nerf to her teleport.... *has a moment of silence*
There's so many moves... I may as well just mash and flick the controls like crazy.
Oleander=Twilight
Legit stumbled on this a week ago. Don't even care for the show its based on, and I'm invested.
Basically. She's a super meter vampire.
These are so friggin cool, you just earned yourself another sub. Keep ‘em coming! 😄👍
*Teleports Behind You*
Nothing personal, Cow
I love how her desing is similar to a traditional unicorn
Grest work! I look forward to seeing more videos!!!
Him: she uses dark magic and has a demon friend
Me:unicorn viren? Is that you?
I love this! I can’t wait for the next one! ^^
Looking forward to the next one!
Subbed. You're a great authority on TFH. Can't wait to see more.
Thanks a lot. More is coming!
Twilight Sparkle looks pretty good ;)
you mean the great and powerful trixie or waifu bug or rarity?
Did you see the pure joy from studying?
CamTheKitty I do whenever I play her ^.^
Alright, who's next? This are quite amazing indeed.
Paprika is the next spotlight, but I'm going to do a tutorial series next.
Aaron Stavely alright I’ll be looking forward to it.
Riot taught you well
These are dope AF
They know how to make 'em.
Oh! Hello there! Yes, Oleander is my main and I’m happy with this video.
Very nice work on this one!
This game reminds me of skullgirls. Small but dedicated community and most likely not a ton of people will know or care when it dies, but god damn. This looks great and it looks like fun
HOLY CRAP THIS IS GREAT
Wow this game actually looks very interesting
I personally believe you _severely_ undersold her 6C command normal, because that attack is phenomenal. It's actually a super safe move that is +3 on block that could be really useful to bait your opponent out of blocking. I often use it for the ground bounce into either her c.B->c.C->c.3C launcher combo. When Oleander gets going, you _really_ don't have many options.
I wish I had gone into more detail about her command normals. In my aim to keep this a general overview I did omit some crucial info.
omg the unicorn is awesome and the video amaizing
This is really good information for me to try and better defend against this Shadow Fighter with my Dragon girl!
Fantastic work!
I want this game so bad
A demon named Fred
Oleander broke pls nerf (btw AMAZING video like always! Can't wait for a Pom and Paprika spotlights, they're my mains)
Stickykitkat I agree that Oleander’s specials are a little strong, but her normals are fairly weak in terms of power.
This is perfect! Thanks for the guide!
You're welcome! Glad I could help.
Really hope Paprika is up next, as someone who is new to fighting Games in general her ''Hold'' Mechanic kind of confuses me still.
Luv these Videos!
Paprika will be the next spotlight, but I'm going to do a two-part general tutorial before I work on hers. It is being asked for.
Paprika is what is generally called a 'charge character' which means most of her specials requires her to hold a certain direction for a short amount of time. ((maybe like a half a second or a second, depending on the fps)), then hit the opposite direction and an attack. They are more defensive in nature due to the fact they often hold back to store a charge, and cant really go ham with their specials as much as a character that only has to do a fireball motion. Their normals are usually above average to compensate. For reference, Guile from Streetfighter is a charge character, and Sonic Boom requires a charge motion.
This game looks sick! I would love to play it someday
dormammu returns! this is my character
This is so AWESOME!!!!
Fred is also like Shadow Lapras’ persona
I wonder what happened to get fred in the book in the first place it could be an great story
I know you're on the dev team now, but i would still love to see more of these character spotlights from you :(
God, I never knew she was so complex
this is amazing.
I really love these videos so far! Im not the best at fighting games, but, so far these are really great at teaching moves and combos. really looking forward to more! It would be cool to see one for Pom. Her moves are a bit confusing imo @_@
Pom is the hardest character in the game. Her spotlight will be last in the series.
* Teleport away + Lv1*
"Kamehameha!"
* Summon Fred *
"You're mine!"
Where is the video,where have you been?:(
NEVER PLAYED THIS BUT I LOVE
where is the other character spots light ?
I really curious a short story in the begining the video, for example Oleander want to use dark magic with good things.
Anyway theres no cameo the Thems Fightning Herds char apper in the My little Pony cartoon ?
I really want know more them, because i see a very pig potencial those character.
I alredy buy the game for the story and i like it so much and i cant wait for continues...
Kinda wish Fred operated in a similar way to Luma in Smash Ultimate. Even if the primary fighter, in this case, Oleander, is incapacitated, Fred can still attack, only with lowered attack power.
Good video on oleander
PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDS!!! I MISS YOU!!!
Watching this video proves that i am not that close to master Oleander and yet she is my main character to play >w> Dang it D:
I love her--
I can't tell if these videos are jokes or not... but they are still good
Huh, wasn't expecting to see Shadow Labrys again lol.
Why doesn't this game have more limelight? It's so high quality
Gr8 Videos man!
Keep up with the awesome work! o/
I love Oleander's accent. In fact, I love all british accents.
Sad that there aren't any videos like this one for the other characters
When are the new videos comming ? Will we have one video for each character ? Your work is amazing ! ;) is so concise and clear... really impressive
Here's hoping for a Velvet spotlight
Welcome to League of Legends champion spotlight fea-- Oh. Wait.
Hahaha yeah
Best Edgelord Twilight!
