I think Rainbow Dash actually has a lot of potential depth, the show just doesn't touch it because it's not something that easily translates into the show's format. Her self-esteem is all over the shop, she's an extremely gifted flier but was lazy enough to flunk flight school (this is actually a BIG problem with G&T kids), and she performs "coolness" all the time, indicating issues with being true to herself. Loads of material, just hard to write about tactfully and then get past S&P.
A fight between Spitfire and Lighting Dust? Spitfire would win without quesion as she has: * Years of experiance as a Wonderbolt and flier * Has likely been in more fights, my reason being the fact the Wonderbolt were called when Spike went on a rampage. * Spitfire is an all around more serious pony, where as Lightenibg Dust seems to do what she does for the thrill of it. Without question or hesitation I say Spitefire would win, unless Lighting Dust fought dirty or cheated that is.
Logically yeah. But I like the idea of new young daredevil beating seasoned pro.Lightning could surpass and beat Spitfire and then Rainbowdash would beat her in an even more epic battle.
The animation is great! However, keep in mind that the visuals are only 1 half of an entire movie. The music fit the visuals perfectly, but this could benefit greatly with some sound design. A "whoosh!" when the camera zooms in, a smack when they land punches, a feathery flap when they spread their wings, a crash of waves as they skim across the water, an airy atmospheric sound scape when they're in space. "The possibilities are like, endless!" - Scootaloo You have a crap-ton of potential :)
when they fly past the windows it would have been cool if the glass had cracked and the second pony goes by and the glass shatters. OR maybe it shatters as the first pony goes by and the second pony is forced to fly through it. at any rate this is a really great fan devoted creation. well done.
1:23 Rewatching all your videos and looking for HS references has proved to be quite enjoyable. It also explains why Homestuck felt so familiar to me when I finally read it.
I contemplated adding sound effects, but given that it was just me doing 90% of the work in the middle of my finals for a completely unrelated subject, I decided that I didn't want to spend another week on the same thing. It's that whole "creative works are never finished, just abandoned" thing.
2:59 wait does that mean that this pony (pretty sure it's spitfire) is the only other pony than rainbow dash that can perform a sonic rainboom and maybe even a double rainboom?
Really impressed. The art style didn't grab me at first, but as I got used to the Windows Paint I realized I really liked the look of it. Transitions between scenes are pretty much effortless considering the over the top nonsense that made the video really entertaining. Only real critique is the thought balloon at 2:45. We see exactly what happens in his thought process in the next few seconds, so just leave his puzzled expression turning to a grin of delight a point of suspense for the audience
Your mind yelled "Fight" when the K.O. was on the screen? ...I kinda fail to see your logic. You do know that "K.O." means "Knock Out" Right? As In... The fight is over.
Wow. It definitely is obvious that you've had much pleasure in making the animation - you can feel the soul in the video. Good luck on getting to the top 10, you've got my vote.
Following the link would tell you the name of the song, but if for some reason your internet provider charges you per hyperlink clicked, the name of the song is Atomic Bonsai.
1:23 That looks REALLY awesome. Nice originality with that part! I've seen such things before, but it's always really quick clashes in a small area or going between two walls or something, ever in flight around a freaking island!
About sound effects, they can really enhance the quality of your work, but they can just as easily brake the flow of the rhythm produced by the song in the background, so is good to be subtle with them when you are making a work like this. Thank you for making this epic video.
That is awesome. I loved every single second of that. Its a clear animation, with no "Hit or miss" parts of the animation. You are amazing. Completely-Amazing.
I really think that Lighting Dust need to have another episode because rainbow dash was with her doing that hurricane and she had nothing and lightning dust had fired there... i think it's not fare. things happen and she would be awesome wonderbolt. if lightning dust had fired there, dash should have been fired too. (sorry my bad english)
I loved your work. I am really impress by your ability. I would probably have being satisfied with half of this, but you went above and beyond, and it totally payed off. I am also glad that you eliminated the health bar idea because I think it would have being distracting from the main action. Although like any other artistic work there was 101 things you could have done to improve it, you polished every single detail you needed to obtain a smooth flow. you should praise yourself for that.
Tiarawhy, along with FluffyMixer, JanAnimations and the show itself, primarily work with puppets. This means they tween premade graphics around to quickly make very clean, very smooth animations that are almost all from the same camera angle. It's the flash age's talking heads syndrome. Fair point about some clunky animation here, but that's mostly because I was making a four minute animation in thirty days during my exam season without the use of glorified clipart. "Rush" is my default mode.
111.000 views, congratz xD Well, the part of the battle using guitars remembered me a little about Furi Kuri XD Ah, good animation and good references :33 Homestuck
"Now that i figured out how to make animations, what to do? hmmm, Oh I know. Ill take everything cool and put it in one video. yay" very cheese, but enjoyable to watch :D
Everything was Adobe Flash CS6, except for most of the backgrounds. The ones I made were in Adobe Photoshop CS6, and the ones other people made were mostly Paint Tool Sai I think? You'd have to ask them.
If I gave you a list of what was done in what order you can probably spot a trend of increasing "ah fuck it" as fatigue built up. As for the angles, there was going to be like health bars overlaid and the full fighting-game works, but again, I just ran out of time and energy.
Watches expecting mlp.
Gets homestuck music.
My kind of video
Dance of thorns is my fav homestuck song
+Artam Aleski (your waifu sucks)
It Is Fairly Intoxicating In Its Greatness
what I didn't suspect.
IT WAS AMAZING and also THIS WAS MADE IN 2013!?!?!?!
Snowboard Guitar Fight should be a Olympic sport.

goddammit you made me a brony.
Welcome to the herd. We have cookies.
They taste like chocolate and sprinkles
Bienvenue...
When I first saw this I had no idea what was going on. Now I know that this is in the Dream Realm, which explains a lot.
I WATCHED THIS WHEN I WAS LITTLE AND NOW YOURE TELLING ME IT WAS HOEMSTUCK THE WHOLE TIME????
Astronaut with gun: Always has been
"Did you feel that power level?"
Krillin: "I could TASTE that!"
Homestuck meets Nautro meets Street Fighter Meets My Little Pony. BAM!
Already happened. It's called the Season 4 finale.
101ultimategaming And there are also Star Wars and Rafiki in that episode :P
There was also dragon ballZ ))

"The possibilities are like, endless!" - Scootaloo
You have a crap-ton of potential :)
Ahh... T'is a rare moment. The war between two ponies that have old grudges.
Anti Furry Coallition with kick ass homestuck music in the background
SCOOTALOO.
IN.
SPAAACCCCCEEEEE!!!!!
(Dafaq did I just write?)
you wrote scootaloo in spaaaaaacccccccccccccceeeeeeeeee!!!
(Cue dramatic music)
when they fly past the windows it would have been cool if the glass had cracked and the second pony goes by and the glass shatters. OR maybe it shatters as the first pony goes by and the second pony is forced to fly through it. at any rate this is a really great fan devoted creation. well done.
Your animation style is impressive. I lol'd at 3:14.
Scattered around the whole video are references to friends on tumblr and the artists that helped out with the backgrounds.
That music brings found memories of Guilty Gear and that epic electric AXE Battle was EPIC!
Loved the tumblrhorse cameos, Pirate Dash and Terry I noticed for sure. Not well-versed enough in tumblr blogs to recognize any others, though.
1:23 Rewatching all your videos and looking for HS references has proved to be quite enjoyable.
It also explains why Homestuck felt so familiar to me when I finally read it.
I like soarin’s reaction,which is basically “c’mon I don’t have all day”
XD,nice job
Love how Spitfire's hair is actually made of fire.
I contemplated adding sound effects, but given that it was just me doing 90% of the work in the middle of my finals for a completely unrelated subject, I decided that I didn't want to spend another week on the same thing. It's that whole "creative works are never finished, just abandoned" thing.
Somehow, I think that herding cats would be easier than trying to get artists to collaborate on a project. :\
Even Krillin and Bulma? XD You're awesome
This video is still Awesome as always.
This video goes so hard. Glad to see you're still active on RUclips and Tumblr. Keep up the great work!!
Damn right Spitfire won! Keep on making these badass videos!
not as fast as stick fig animations. When it comes to 2D fights thats what you wanna shoot for. Dragon Dragon 2 is a good example
I lol'ed at the "You're Lost" meteor cameo.
One of the greatest "Anime Fight" in history.
Its over Lightning Dust I have the high ground!
Nostalgia
Ya I know right, feels so awesome🤩
Newbie Dash oh yeah yeah
I miss watching horsess
2:59 wait does that mean that this pony (pretty sure it's spitfire) is the only other pony than rainbow dash that can perform a sonic rainboom and maybe even a double rainboom?

Okay, who else yelled K.O.!
When it was on the screen?
My mind yelled FIGHT like in mortal kombat when it was onscreen.
Your mind yelled "Fight" when the K.O. was on the screen?
...I kinda fail to see your logic.
You do know that "K.O." means "Knock Out" Right?
As In... The fight is over.
kennedy the animatetronic I'm talking about the beginning! XD

Following the link would tell you the name of the song, but if for some reason your internet provider charges you per hyperlink clicked, the name of the song is Atomic Bonsai.
After finishing the video I'm going to say Lighting Dust last much longer then she should have... the creator was being far too generous.
1:23 That looks REALLY awesome. Nice originality with that part! I've seen such things before, but it's always really quick clashes in a small area or going between two walls or something, ever in flight around a freaking island!

Thank you for making this epic video.
Yaks: We declare WAR!
...
all ponies start laughing
I still dont understand how this didnt get thenumber one spot for best videos for the month it was released. This is amazing.
well you got jhaller's personal #1 pick of the month, so congrats for that.
I'll be definitely be voting for this one when the year ends.
That is awesome. I loved every single second of that. Its a clear animation, with no "Hit or miss" parts of the animation. You are amazing. Completely-Amazing.
why can I not have fight scenes like this all the time?
It's been far too long since I saw a fight scene this good.
This is proof that Scootaloo will never fly. Just look at the edit.
I really think that Lighting Dust need to have another episode because rainbow dash was with her doing that hurricane and she had nothing and lightning dust had fired there... i think it's not fare. things happen and she would be awesome wonderbolt. if lightning dust had fired there, dash should have been fired too. (sorry my bad english)
I love when Soarin' looks at his watch. It's a nice touch!
Let's play count the references!
1:22 Homestuck
1:31 ...something, I'm sure.
2:13 Sonic
2:47 Scootaloo's Bacon Quest?
3:14 DBZ
Who wants in on this?
Really impressive. Only the 2:36 throwing animation was bad, everything else was pure gold. Thanks.
the meteor uppercut was far less effective than I...
THIS VIDEO IS TOO AWSOME TOO COMPLAIN ABOUT!
I like your art style, the best way I can describe is its "neatly unfinished"
I loved your work. I am really impress by your ability. I would probably have being satisfied with half of this, but you went above and beyond, and it totally payed off.

Man, I'd love to do a fight animation. Your stuff inspires me!
That Epic fight after 8 years it's still epic~!

I really liked the animation style in this. Great job
Loved the facial expressions with a minimal art style. Awesome.
Spitfire wins!!!!!!!!!!She has to she is the captain of the Wonderbolts!!!!How can she not win?
He's actually done several more before this on the ask firestarter spitfire tumblr blog, this is just the only one on youtube!
Scooty flying through space
Fight on guitars was just awesome!
Your art style is so awesomely unique and inspiring!
*lightning dust throws controller across room* BULLSHIT
Homestuck in my ponies? I never thought this day would come :'D such a lovely video too!
Homestuck music+ my two favorite ponies+ god damn perfect animation = all of my fricking yes
The guitars were a stroke of genius!
loved it! bye now!
This is way awesome!
2:48 pumping me up further than I could imagine something would since 2013
why do I get the feeling this is like a final boss. but more epic
Hell yeah! This was freaking awesome by the way.
well that was FUCKING AWESOME!!! also scoots in space was great XD
This is on my first spot of top 10 anime battles
I like how they only have eyes when dramatically appropriate.
Epic! I hope you do more of this!
they were fighting with guitars!!!!!! while snowboarding!!!! thats so FERKING EXTREEEEEEEMMMM
OMG I CANT BELIEVE U PUT A FLCL REFERENCE ON THE VIDEO! I LOVE FLCL IM LIKE THE BEST FAN EVER!
111.000 views, congratz xD
Well, the part of the battle using guitars remembered me a little about Furi Kuri XD
Ah, good animation and good references :33
Homestuck
so epic! totally lost me with the noir scene, and the ax battle was awesome!
amazing animation! and excellent use of this song, its my favorite from the album. :3
I was definitely aiming for that Wuxia atmosphere around the first part, if a little more hot-blooded. And then after that it just got out of hand,
Awesome animation ever!!
Having profuve experience of both, you would be surprised.
I'm still watching this until now
Anyone else notice jades island from homestuck
When???
1:24, is that a homestuck reference I see?
That's what I was thinking.
RainbowThe Dash im not sure if you follow the tumblr blog this is based on but the spitfire in it reads homestuck so there's alot of crossover
lol hell yea it is :D
Thank god someone else got the reference. (It’s jade’s island)
"Now that i figured out how to make animations, what to do?
hmmm, Oh I know. Ill take everything cool and put it in one video.
yay"
very cheese, but enjoyable to watch :D
Loved the Homestuck References!
Collaboration is, unless every contributor is creatively on the same page and crazy motivated, like herding cats.
And thus, Lightning Dust's bid to rejoin the Wonderbolts Academy was torn to shreds...
When the elements fight, all hell breaks loose. Just be glad this time it was just Fire & Lightning.
well that was cool, didnt expect the bar scene at all
Awesome animation. I really love your style.
Everything was Adobe Flash CS6, except for most of the backgrounds. The ones I made were in Adobe Photoshop CS6, and the ones other people made were mostly Paint Tool Sai I think? You'd have to ask them.
I frickin' love your animations.
great vid for some reason at 2:13 all i could think of was FLCL (fooly cooly) when they were fighting with the guitars
Very impressive!!! It was so exciting :D i can't wait to see more!!!
This was freaking awesome
If I gave you a list of what was done in what order you can probably spot a trend of increasing "ah fuck it" as fatigue built up. As for the angles, there was going to be like health bars overlaid and the full fighting-game works, but again, I just ran out of time and energy.
this needs WAY more views
Please, you have to make more of this!
