In Them's Fightin' Herds, both of the original composers would start working on the dynamic music system, producing colossal amounts of new music for the game. Several universal systems, including juggle decay, anti-air attacks, pushblocking, and cross canters were added. The Z-Engine, provided to the team by Lab Zero, allowed for expansion of the game's system as well as supporting GGPO-a system which uses rollback netcode. The general gameplay would be later transferred to Them's Fightin' Herds.
Rainbow Dash became Tianhuo (aerial rushdown)ĭespite the new characters carrying the legacy of having similar fighting styles and personalities to their predecessors, they all stand out from each other enough to be considered their own characters. Pinkie Pie became Paprika (tricky all-rounder). Twilight Sparkle became Oleander (all-rounder). Applejack became Arizona (ground rushdown). The character themes were tied to their respective stages.Īfter the C&D, the team had to discard their project, but when starting new one, they transferred the character movesets from Fighting is Magic to the new roster, which was designed by Lauren Faust and adapted for each of the fighting archetypes: At that time, the main theme and six character themes were composed. The soundtrack for Fighting is Magic included original compositions by RC88 and WhitetailMusic. It is built around a server system-a player hosts a room for other players to join and use as a matchmaking.
The multiplayer would use MTSP (MT Special Edition) - a Japanese 3rd party netplay client for the FM2K engine, with integrated lobby and chat. All characters had universal launchers and throw commands, as well as super attacks which could be performed by filling up super bar. The magic button would allow for performing specials attacks, helping to extend combos. The game was built using the Fighter Maker 2D engine, and would feature a four-button fighting system: light, medium, heavy, and magic. It's not known which other 11 characters would make it into the original game. The final goal would be 17 in the long run.
