Batbrony 15,953 January 31, 2014 Share January 31, 2014 I've resigned myself to Lightning Dust's inevitable defeat here, but I still think she's a much better antagonist and character than Chrysalis. And a cuter one. You all should vote for her. While I honestly can't say that LD is a better "antagonist" than Chrysalis (I mean they're not even the same kind, one's basically a super villain who almost conquered Canterlot with an army at her back (even if she did monologue too much), while the other was a minor antagonist who was indirectly responsible for endangering the Mane 6's lives due to her recklessness, apples and oranges here really), I did vote for LD because she certainly has more room to grow as a character than Chrysalis. LD could realistically get reformed some time down the road and learn from her mistakes, whereas, let's be honest, if she ever returns in the show Chrsyalis is NOT going to be reformed, she just won't, she's too evil. Sad that it looks like LD's gonna lose, but she gave it her best. Also, thank you so much for posting that adorable gif from the Incompetent LD Tumblr. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad that it looks like LD's gonna lose, but she gave it her best. Mostly meant personal preference. I just think Dust is much more nuanced and full of potential than Chrysalis who hasn't had much characterization beyond singing about how evil she is, even if the songs were dang good. Shrug. I think what you're referring to with "room to grow" is what makes her better to me, in part. Glad you voted for her Anyhoo, voted for AJ, Angel, Big Mac, Granny Smith, Mrs. Cake, Ms. Harshwhinny and Caballeron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubWolf 15,699 January 31, 2014 Share January 31, 2014 Looks like Winona is the only character I voted for that doesn't have the majority vote. Oh well, you're still strong and faithful . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, I just can't... stop... laughing!!! OK, maybe I'm being too mean, I mean, it could be a *snicker* close match for all I know. *votes and checks polls* Nope. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL, but seriously, I bucking hate Twist, so her Apple-thrashing brings me much joy. :okiedokielokie: What is up with that annoying lisp? I don't know. I'm just glad she got her cutie mark before we formed the CMC. Edited January 31, 2014 by Batbrony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anneal 2,193 January 31, 2014 Share January 31, 2014 To sum Group A up: Angel: Don't worry, you ain't going to get any trial. It down to the gallows! Flitter: I will live. The same can not be said for you. Mrs. Cake: *places Flitter on the noose* ...and this mare has plotted a plan so devious, it disturbs me to this day. She has planned to assassinate our leader, General Applejack. Why this mare had chosen this path is not up to me to reveal, but what else can we do, but this? We can only hope. *Pulls gallows rope upward* May Celestia have mercy on your soul. (If all else goes well, Cloudchaser cuts the rope, Flitter gets her hidden blades, and chases Angel before she kills General Applejack personally.) For Group B: Button Mash goes power mad and takes control of the testing facility, Winona is placed into a potato battery, and Sweetie Belle from the other group has to help the dog that had been forcing her to test in the first place, while she has to defeat the colt she once helped.

Anilewe 2,177 January 31, 2014 Share January 31, 2014 (edited) My poor, sweet, adorable Winona is on the verge of elimination. But I had to support Granny Smith on this one. Sorry Winona, you had a good run. You'll always be top dog. <3 Do you honestly want to kill me with cuteness? DX That crying little AJ almost gave me a heart-attack! And don't worry, I voted for Winona And for Angel, Mrs. Cake, Flitter, Big Mac and Ms. Harshwhinny. Edited January 31, 2014 by Anilewe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank will be ELIMINATED if he fails to win Matchday 6 OR if Dr. Whooves gets at least a draw. Soarin will be ELIMINATED if he fails to win AND Dr. Whooves gets at least a draw. Situations for Group D: Derpy Hooves will QUALIFY for the MLPF World Cup with a win. Roseluck and Pipsqueak, regardless of winning or not, will be ELIMINATED if Celestia wins. Either one MUST BE ELIMINATED for the other to still have a chance in entering the MLPF World Cup. Braeburn is unable to QUALITY FOR FIRST PLACE in his group if he draws or loses. He is ELIMINATED if Celestia wins the next matchday, assuming he does draw or lose. Choose wisely. Celestia is the wild card. If she wins, everyone else in the group is automatically eliminated except for Braeburn. EDIT: Okay, let's face it, everyone in Group D that's not Derpy or Celestia is royally f*cked.

Batbrony 15,953 February 1, 2014 Share February 1, 2014 I hate, hate, HATE voting against Doctor Whooves, but I'm sorry, we're talking about Best Princess here! Sorry Doc, still love ya buddy. As for this day, it's a good day indeed; Derpy and Luna should both officially be qualified by the end of the day. Can you say AWESOME??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive01 5,294 February 1, 2014 Author Share February 1, 2014 (edited) I would also like to say this for Group C: It could very well be that Soarin and Dr. Whooves will be tied in points by the end of the qualifying rounds. To separate them, we need to use vote differential first. The final two matchdays will determine the fates of both characters. Choose wisely. Also, here are Group E situationals for today's matchups. Pinkie Pie will QUALIFY with a WIN against Babs Seed tonight. Flim will be ELIMINATED if he does not win.

Wingnut 6,640 February 1, 2014 Share February 1, 2014 Matilda has a lead? What kind of crazy parallel reality have I stumbled into? Oh, her opponent is Prince Blueblood. Never mind. I decided to use some strategy to vote. DQ raises a good point. At what point do we need to start voting carefully to help our favorites make it to the World Cup?

You guys should have started the strategic voting on Matchday 5, but today's the perfect time to start. was interested enough to work with situationals to show you all the possible outcomes of each group. I've decided to follow suit with this and place situationals of my own. Look at them, and vote carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Old Head 4,812 February 1, 2014 Share February 1, 2014 I'm mystified that Soarin' is only a small distance ahead of Tank. 'Specially with Rainbow Falls come and gone, where he was there to spread his appeal. At least he's ahead to begin with I voted for the top option on each one this time around, with the exception of Carrot Top, where I voted Blossomforth instead. Looks like most of my options are in the lead... apart from Blueblood. (Yeah, I dislike Blueblood, but I think he added to The Best Night Ever more as a character than Matilda did in A Friend In Deed. I feel as if most of the votes for Matilda are because nobody here likes Blueblood. :\) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeofCanterlot 157 February 1, 2014 Share February 1, 2014 Lyra and Bon-Bon fans, make sure to get out there and vote for them in Matchday 6 and Matchday 7! No matter which pony either one is up against... we know Fluttershy already has qualified and Rainbow Dash seems pretty set to qualify.It would be pure awesomeness if Lyra and Bon-Bon qualify, Best background ponies ever.. there is Derpy Hooves too, but I feel more confident that she's going to qualify. This time around, I voted for:Luna, Carrot Top, Soarin, Blueblood, Celestia, Pipsqueak, Derpy, Nurse Redheart. Win for the royalty and my sister is a nurse, so I put a vote in for Nurse Redheart.

Radiance64 7,046 February 2, 2014 Share February 2, 2014 Congrats to Derpy for qualifying! We all new she would. (Oh and to Luna too, I guess. :comeatus:) Anyway, this round is pretty usual, pulling for Pinkie, Tavi, and Dashie here. Peachbottom vs Mulia was kinda tough to choose here though... decided to go with the wild mustang from Mustangia though, hope she makes it for at least a little longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive01 5,294 February 3, 2014 Author Share February 3, 2014 (edited) Still a few hours left to vote! But for now... Situationals for Groups G and H... GROUP G: Twilight Sparkle will QUALIFY with a WIN against Mayor Mare. King Sombra will be ELIMINATED if he FAILS TO WIN against Castle. GROUP H: Lyra will QUALIFY with a WIN against Crackle the Dragon. Fluttershy will finish as GROUP WINNER if she WINS against Rumble AND Lyra FAILS TO WIN. If Lyra wins, Group H's Qualifers Will be decided. HOWEVER, Fluttershy and Lyra can still duke out for top spot in Machday 7.

Radiance64 7,046 February 3, 2014 Share February 3, 2014 Yay, go Twilight! We all know she'll qualify. Also voted for both Fluttershy and Lyra, if only for wanting to see some real competition between the two. :comeatus: Sapphire Shores vs Pound Cake seems close though, so far anyway. The rest seems like it'll be pretty one-sided this round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
