My Little Pony: Fighting Is Magic was a highly ambitious fan-made fighting game developed by Mane6, featuring the 'Mane Six' characters in a high-quality 2D fighter style. Despite immense popularity within the brony community and even earning a spot at major fighting game tournaments, the project was famously shut down by a cease and desist order from Hasbro in 2013. The meme culture surrounding the game typically highlights the professional-grade animations, the dramatic impact of the C&D, and the game's eventual rebirth as the original IP 'Them's Fightin' Herds.' Today, the template is used to depict unlikely matchups, corporate versus fan power struggles, or intense rivalries between niche internet subcultures.
