[Mr F 1,522]

It's not about looking good. It's about being good.

 

Rarity probably gave her the gift.

Rarity is good too, now

 

Better than Twilight, given she IS best pony

 

[Frostgage 7,975]

This competition is tearing the community apart. I think I'm the only one who doesn't feel really strongly towards one side.

 

 

 

(...vote for twily though)

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

How could Rarity even compare with Twily?

 

(Also,Did I mention,I'm quite competitive? Yeah,it's probably best that I mention that.)

Why does this have to be so intense? My nerves are failing me!

 

Here is a short video of me that shows my emotional unrest...

 

 

 

[Noire Panzer 3,526]

Who generously does everypony's outfits for them without payment? Who generously takes her friends with her places when she is going places? Who took her friends to manehattan AND got them free seating at a fancy play? Generous pony loves everypony!

Fluttershy Corps, mail this one in and punch the tickets! She's the first one in the Final Four, and it's blowout city!

As you can see, Flutters is overjoyed. She's not the only one, though. I want to make this crystal clear: each and every one of you has simply been...

 

 

She couldn't have done it without all of you, being fantastic.   

 

 

Savor this rout, though... because it might just be the last one. For the whole tournament. For anypony. This has set up perfectly to be the best finish in the tournament's three year history. Much better than the first one (when the bracket was stacked and most of the best characters were already out at this point) and better than last year (when Rainbow Dash was just stupidly unbeatable). Six matches remain: Purplesmart vs. Whitebeauty. The Ashleigh Ball Showdown. Pinkie vs. Derpy. And then the survivors, along with Yellowquiet, face each other in three final contests for all the marbles. Maybe somepony will surprise me and get a blowout win in that group of matches, but I'd say there's a good chance that every single one of them is decided by fewer than ten votes.

 

Fans, get your popcorn ready. Participants, brace yourselves, because here's your competition.

 

Twilight Sparkle: Doesn't seem to have many outspoken boosters in the comments, yet she beat Scootaloo by 44 votes in the last round. Oh, also worth mentioning: she made it to the Final Four last year.

 

Rainbow Dash: Defending champ, and CRUSHED Twi and Pinkie to win it all. Seriously, there was no drama last year at all. Dashie might not have that kind of unstoppable wave of support this time, but she probably doesn't need it. (A 40 vote cushion gives you some margin for error. XD)

 

Pinkie Pie: Won it all two years ago and made it to the final match last year. What more needs to be said? She's always a solid bet to advance. She even managed to beat Sweetie Belle by a double digit margin, and this year that's saying something.

 

Fluttershy: Only assured Final Four participant at this point, and blew out Luna and Apple Bloom to get there. The heartbreaking losses of years past now seem like ancient history; the Fluttershy Corps is energized like never before. Oppose at your own risk.

 

Applejack: Knocked off Derpy last year and came within one vote of upsetting Twilight in the Elite Eight. Got a somewhat favorable draw to get to this point, but if anything she looks like an even tougher out this time around.

 

Rarity: Forget about Dashie knocking her out in the Sweet 16 last year. Rarity has AT LEAST the second most outspoken fans on this board, if not THE most. No surprise, then, that she's on a hot streak, beating the likes of Spike and Sombra by MORE THAN 50 VOTES EACH. Nothing more needs to be said; you REALLY don't want to be on her side of the bracket right now.

 

Derpy: Needs no introduction, though I'm sure @@Batbrony would be more than happy to give you one. And with him in her corner, Derpy is not to be taken lightly. AJ fans can tell you from experience, she won't go down without putting up an incredible fight first. And she might not go down at all this time.

 

These should be simply EPIC showdowns. I'm talking pulse-pounding, white-knuckle, lead-with-your-BFG-cuz-there's-no-tomorrow brawls. Anything less than your A-game, and you'll be out.

 

Us Fluttershy fans are fortunate to have a few days to rest and savor today's win. But come Saturday, we'd better be back and ready to be at our most awesome. Fortunately, with @, @@Sterling Crimson, @, and @@Wingnut (among others) on board, I go in knowing that I have some of the best teammates around. No worries here; we'll be ready.

 

Everypony else? Get your game faces on now.

Remember, a vote for Rarity is a vote for purity

 

Remember, a vote for Twilight Sparkle is a vote for unnecessary deus ex machinas and M.A. Larson alicornifications

My reaction to your meme:

Applejack and Rarity are best ponies anyway.

[Radiance64 7,053]

Geez, this thread is going some weird places with all the hype from both sides...

But of course, the place it should be going is getting a win for Rarity.

Fellow Rarity fans, if you're reading this and haven't voted yet, please do. For Rarity.

Y'all know what to do.

No, the main character is always the best. That's why she's main and Rarity isn't.

[Noire Panzer 3,526]

Our spirits will not be broken! The pony of the most generous proportions will light our wayward path!

 

[Guest90210 3,568]

Deleted my Twilight vote and switched to Rarity. You heard that right.

[Azureth 687]

Oh no, Rarity is now down! She is NOT a happy camper!

 

[Anilewe 2,178]

Deleted my Twilight vote and switched to Rarity. You heard that right.

 

Yeehaw! Please, there's a cider for you! *gives cider* You made a good decision!

[Shift 4,272]

Twilight is beating Rarity by one point

 

I could vote for Rarity and make her in the lead... but I don't want to.

 

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

To Rarity fans,from Jafar.

 

No, the main character is always the best. That's why she's main and Rarity isn't.

I couldn't agree more!
