My Little Pony: Fighting Is Magic Development and gameplay
Players who also own BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 or Skullgirls on Steam will unlock special lobby avatars inspired by characters from those games. The game supports both local and online multiplayer via a near-isometric pixel art lobby system. A seventh playable character, a yet-to-be-named goat, will also be available following the game's launch, due to the crowd funding campaign reaching its stretch goals. There are six playable characters-Arizona the cow (voiced by Tara Strong), Velvet the reindeer (Tia Ballard), Paprika the alpaca (Marieve Herington), Oleander the unicorn (Alexa Kahn) who can summon a demonic being known as 'Fred' (Keith Ferguson), Pom the sheep (Allie Moreno) and Tianhuo the longma (Kay Bess) -each with different fighting move sets and unique movement options such as flight, short hops, double jumps, or air dashes, and a seventh boss character.
The game uses a four-button fighting system: a button each for light, medium, heavy, and magic attacks, and includes staple fighting game maneuvers such as launchers, pushblocks, and cross-ups.
