That day, footage of the leaked game was posted to YouTube, and on August 3 the torrented file was made available on the Pirate Bay. On August 2, 2012, Equestria Daily reported that a testing build of Fighting is Magic had been leaked after its use in a QA session. Though all of their official videos have been since removed, there are more than 17,000 search results for “Fighting is Magic” on YouTube, featuring the music from the game as well as recorded livestreams of beta playthroughs. A wiki about the game launched in August 2012 and there is also a TV Tropes entry chronicling details about the game.

In August 2011, an unofficial fan page for the game was established on Facebook, gaining more than 2,600 fans as of February 2013. The group continued to periodically update fans with their progress on their YouTube channel, however, as of February 2013, all of these videos have been removed. On August 13, 2011, a subreddit dedicated to the game was created at /r/FightingIsMagic. On June 19th, 2011, the first trailer for the game was released, earning nearly a million views before being taken offline in February 2012. Throughout the summer of 2011, various discussion threads surrounding the project appeared on a number of gaming and MLP fandom communities, including the Equestria Forums, Dustloop, Equestria Gaming, G4 and IT World. Each character also had a dedicated stage with unique music created specifically for the scene, such as Twilight Sparkle’s library and Fluttershy’s cottage. The game mechanics proposed for the title were similar to those used in Street Fighter, with each character featuring a unique move set based on their personality in the show for example, Twilight Sparkle’s attacks focused on books while Fluttershy’s attacks focused on animals. On May 31st, 2011, an official thread for the game was started on the Ponychan /collab/ (Collaborative Projects) board, which announced its goal to develop 17 total playable characters as well as online play. Development of the game began in the spring of 2011, in the time between the first and second seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, after one of the lead developers Anukan uploaded four mock screenshots for a Street Fighter-style fighting game featuring several MLP characters to the now-defunct image-sharing site Ponibooru.Īfter the screenshots made their way to the MLP-specific image board Ponychan, a user known as Nappy contacted Anukan about actualizing the project, and soon four other community members, Jay Wright, Lucas Ellinghaus, James Workman and Prominence, were on board.
