for the people who are saying that they shouldn't use the color palettes for the Mane 6 because of legal reasons, you can't copyright color palettes. Plus you can clearly see that theyve used color palettes of various characters and products from so many other franchises so its fine.
I think they don't do it because they want to move away from MLP and have TFH have it's own identity. I think though once TFH has taken off they will add them in.
Fighting games always use color palettes even from other completely different franchises from different companies, anyway. I doubt the devs of Skullgirls or any other fighting game that features color palettes based on any other franchise by different devs had to ask permission for any of those, either.
I'm not. They really want to distance themselves from MLP to both avoid legal issues and also to push themselves away from just being known as "pony fighting game".
I think it would have been fine. I mean I think it would have been a clever idea to have each character have a color palette of the MLP character that they were meant to represent for example Arizona would have Applejacks colors velvet would have had Ratitys color palette and so on. To be fair you cant really copyright colors as long as they aren't using any characters or music that Hasbro owns. it would have been a neat reference plus they've used color palettes of official mlp characters so I do t see the big deal.
GregariousGregor True but you could say the same thing about all the other franchises that they referenced. And they referenced A LOT of characters from a A LOT of franchises. If they were truly worried about legal issues they wouldnt do that. Plus again, they’ve referenced characters from mlp already but only through colors and nothing more. Once again you cannot legally own a color palette. If they were to use the colors of the mane 6 as a reference Hasbro wouldn’t be able to do anything about that.
@@bearmation93 Yes, but most of those other references weren't DIRECT references to the game that got C&D'd. None of the MLP characters they referenced were featured in Fighting is Magic. Trust me, fair or not, it's very wise on their part not to make ANY reference to the game's original form. It already had some legal trouble once, so a fun reference isn't worth the risk.
Tianhuo got some great colors. Though, I'm kinda surprised that not all the girls got colors based on MLP characters. Each of them getting a color that referenced their Fighting is Magic counterpart would have been a nice touch. For example, Tianhuo getting the colors of her original template Rainbow Dash.
These are what I could find after re-watching the video. 1:01 Based on Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series 5:02 Is based on TFH character Stronghoof, Velvet's father 5:23 -Is more than likely based on Xerneas; both deer, more matching color pallet, and the name of Xerneas' ability is Fairy Aura- Is in fact referencing Xerneas. Edit: So after talking to one of the developers a while back (Cam), I've been told that any skin with the "Mane6 Original" artist means it's a skin they developed and is either completely unique or is based on their own creations.
i’d say the aura palette is leaning more towards lucario, with the pokemon’s whole gimmick being the use of “aura”, not just an ability ;-) the colour distribution is reminiscent of xerneas though!
In fact, I think the Palette at 9:23 actually refers to the character "Sha" from The Walten Files (ARG), for me it's identical so I don't believe it's an original palette or something like that type.
@@patyvedder Now that I look, it does look very similar. It could very well be, but i would like to note that these 2 franchises came out 2 years apart, Them's Fighting Herds came out in 2018, and the Walten Files are from 2020.
5:02 strong fluff palette is actually based of Stronghoof Hoofstrong who is Velvet's father. you can see him on Reine City stage background and 2nd story mode chapter.
The Tennis Shoe palettes are all based on Dewdrop Dazzle, a twilight sparkle recolor with that color palette. Her palette was in Fighting is Magic as one of Twilight's colors and it became a meme there that was carried to this game.
Oh my god I wasn't expecting a reference to such an important franchise to me in my childhood at 6:40 I don't play TianHuo so I didn't know that but I'm so happy to see it here.
I mained Tianhuo from the start and I always choose the Cynder pallet. I'm just that much of a sucker for dragons (and Cynder is basically my famourite character in anything for many MANY reasons). I feel like I play better with Arizona, but my mind hasn't changed.
6:05 Believe this palette is based on Mr. Freeze from Batman and Robin. Velvet's ai names have plenty of quotes from him, and Frosty was the name of one of his henchmen in the movie.
Not surprised by all the MLP ones but man there's everything from Mortal Kombat to Emperor's New Groove in here. edit: And BLUE'S CLUES?! Okay that one's amazing.
I'm so happy Tianho has a mushu skin. XD Pom is my favorite character, and her selection of references is my favorite as well. Fitting. We gonna see Shanty?
Some of the information in the video is wrong, since it's taken from a wiki that hasn't been updated since years, just want to clarify if people are gonna take all of this as true
My favorites of each character: Arizona: Punk Funk Bunk and Dangerously Cheesy Oleander: Fifth Gen and Demon Child Paprika: Ten Ton Magical Paca and Cyrus Velvet: Fluffiest Pink and Aura Tianhuo: Wicked and Spyraler Pom: Good Morning Mayor and New Sheep
Seriously, there’s no pom pallet called “DORA!”That is basically a pallet setting of Josuke Higashikata 4? i mean come on, THAT POMPADOUR IS *BEGGING* for it
*See's Oleander's" Shades of Blue"* Welp as long as it's not grey we should be fine- *the NEXT pallete* And~ now I'm headed to the basement to laugh my lungs out!
3:41 considering the name "seasoning", I'm thinking the colour is based of Hindi spice powders, most likely tikka masala powder 4:44 might be based on Ice King from Adventure Time 6:29 might be based of Mane-iac from that Power Ponies episode from MLP G4
9:23 in fact, I think her palette references the character "Sha" from ARG The Walten Files. comparing with the character of the ARG this palette is almost identical, in fact, SHE IS identical. so I don't believe it can be an original palette.
@@dextiger7522 I forgot that detail of the years, sorry. But, I definitely can't deny how familiar they are But I also believe that this palette could have been added after The Walten files was released, but if I'm wrong again I'm sorry, I really don't know much about the game
If i had a nickel each time one of the least played champion n LoL was referenced in this game, i would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
Are these real? because some of them sound like they're trolling us Color palettes for Arizona based on Lactaid, Marshall Moo Montana and The Laughing Cow? Really?
for the people who are saying that they shouldn't use the color palettes for the Mane 6 because of legal reasons, you can't copyright color palettes. Plus you can clearly see that theyve used color palettes of various characters and products from so many other franchises so its fine.
Included some MLP characters too
I think they don't do it because they want to move away from MLP and have TFH have it's own identity. I think though once TFH has taken off they will add them in.
@@MrMarinus18 They do do it though, oleander literally has a trixie skin.
Fighting games always use color palettes even from other completely different franchises from different companies, anyway. I doubt the devs of Skullgirls or any other fighting game that features color palettes based on any other franchise by different devs had to ask permission for any of those, either.
Skullgirls did the exact same thing and as far as i know they didn't get into legal troubles
1:00 Snake from Metal Gear Solid
Yeah that's what I thought
Ikr! XD
Cow. COW! COOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!
I thought the same thing
Cow eater
Im supried that only Arizona and Oleander has My Little Pony based colors
I'm not. They really want to distance themselves from MLP to both avoid legal issues and also to push themselves away from just being known as "pony fighting game".

Or maybe even Spike.
These are what I could find after re-watching the video.
1:01 Based on Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series
5:02 Is based on TFH character Stronghoof, Velvet's father
5:23 -Is more than likely based on Xerneas; both deer, more matching color pallet, and the name of Xerneas' ability is Fairy Aura- Is in fact referencing Xerneas.
Edit: So after talking to one of the developers a while back (Cam), I've been told that any skin with the "Mane6 Original" artist means it's a skin they developed and is either completely unique or is based on their own creations.
I read 9:24 as a mix of Silver the Hedgehog (grey coat and yellow eyes) with Shiny Rockruff.

5:02

A reference to Milky Way, the milkmare of trottingham? They really got some balls.
Damn right I do. Totally worth it when I kickstarted at that tier and asked Flash if I could!
@@Kitsuneg Wait, you made the Milky Way's color palette?
@@ergastolo4281 Yep, that's my kickstart right there. Check Milky's tumblr, way back when, even confirmed on there XD
@@Kitsuneg Dude, you're a LEGEND
More like got udders.
"Titan" at 3:18 may actually be a Symbiotic Titan reference, a cartoon network show that only had a season or two.
Oh, I thought it was Terra :o
It looks more like a reference to Megalis-XLR imo,
In Oleander's Last Unicorn palette, the Unicornomicon seems to be based on the Red Bull.
I also caught that! It'd a very nice small detail :)
My reaction to that information: red bulls give you wings
the last unicorn slaps, all iterations of it.
Oh my god I wasn't expecting a reference to such an important franchise to me in my childhood at 6:40
I don't play TianHuo so I didn't know that but I'm so happy to see it here.
I mained Tianhuo from the start and I always choose the Cynder pallet. I'm just that much of a sucker for dragons (and Cynder is basically my famourite character in anything for many MANY reasons). I feel like I play better with Arizona, but my mind hasn't changed.

Seeing an Okami reference was such a surprise for a skin! I never expected that, a great way to reference such a gorgeous game!
Not surprised by all the MLP ones but man there's everything from Mortal Kombat to Emperor's New Groove in here.
edit: And BLUE'S CLUES?! Okay that one's amazing.
That Deadpool reference on Arizona made me wheeze, no joke
5:53 Get it? The Velvet Room attendants?
Yup, that was a clever reference
0:29 the cow behind the slaughter.
I'm so happy Tianho has a mushu skin. XD
Pom is my favorite character, and her selection of references is my favorite as well. Fitting. We gonna see Shanty?
Paprika: Don't tell me. We're about to fall over a huge waterfall?
(I know, different movies, I've just been holding that joke in for a while)
The fact they threw in a Cowboys of Moo Mesa reference made me smile.
I'd love to see an updated version of this list with Shanty's colors and some updated answers.
0:46 oh no, i remember her, so many nsfw...
7w7
Some of the information in the video is wrong, since it's taken from a wiki that hasn't been updated since years, just want to clarify if people are gonna take all of this as true
I do hope they'll include original colors to the inspirations. Especially Oleander would look good with a Twilight Sparkle color.
The Stealth Cow is beased on Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid, specifically one of the possible suits he can wear!
Longma could be a reference to Grim Matchstick from the Cuphead Series. 7:41
Botbots
My favorites of each character:
Arizona: Punk Funk Bunk and Dangerously Cheesy
Oleander: Fifth Gen and Demon Child
Paprika: Ten Ton Magical Paca and Cyrus
Velvet: Fluffiest Pink and Aura
Tianhuo: Wicked and Spyraler
Pom: Good Morning Mayor and New Sheep
0:48 they really made reference to busty fan-character?😳
Haven't played tfh in a while but I'm planning on getting back on it. And holy crap, I didn't expect to see more Pokemon inspired skins than MLP ones
1:00 dude this is so obvious this hurts..
7:42 that’s Yoshi.
Seriously, there’s no pom pallet called “DORA!”That is basically a pallet setting of Josuke Higashikata 4? i mean come on, THAT POMPADOUR IS *BEGGING* for it
4:54 that almost looks like a Discord palette
What, they didn't make a reference to the wandering trader llamas from Minecraft for Paprika? C'mon.
Probably because Wandering Traders are way too recent lmao
EDIT: Then again if they have Galarian Ponyta they must have added some in updates
Paprika had a disappointing number of skins in general, honestly. Was hoping for more :-/
Arizona 0:01
Oleader 1:41
Paprika 3:35
Velvet 4:38
Tianhuo 6:24
Pom 8:26
1:00 Stealth Cow is a reference to Solid Snake
7:33 Woohoo! I almost forgot I had submitted this palette xD
These are great to know! Thank you! :)
I just love how Fleece for some reasons gets the most ridiculous looking colour palettes I love it!
Georgette from Oliver and Company would make a great color swap for Velvet as well.
All these references are cool, even from things I don't know, but I'm really digging the pokemon ones. :03
The Aura skin for Velvet must be a reference to Xerneas, must likely it's ability (That being Fairy Aura)
*See's Oleander's" Shades of Blue"*
Welp as long as it's not grey we should be fine- *the NEXT pallete*
And~ now I'm headed to the basement to laugh my lungs out!
I'm pretty sure maniacal laughter for velvet is based on scar from the lion king
i love paprika she is adorable in her outfits
Speaking of palettes, what would it be like if the characters swapped their own palettes? (Example: Arizona with Tianhuo’s pallette).
Paprika 3:35
4:12
4:14
4:18
4:21
4:33
3:56 this skin is probably based on songs ARPK and Leave in summer, yet you're in my fluffoughts by baker
6:00 Velvet look a little bit like Lion from Steven Universe
6:29 might be Brachydios from Monster Hunter
Baihe is the name of a region in Chin
2:35 it's not based in sunset shimmer?
Maybe?
I thought she was more orange than red, but it's still possible.
seems almost certain, especially with the purple on the rear hooves
Forgot the Paprika skin that references the Blue Meanie from Yellow Submarine
3:41 considering the name "seasoning", I'm thinking the colour is based of Hindi spice powders, most likely tikka masala powder
4:44 might be based on Ice King from Adventure Time
6:29 might be based of Mane-iac from that Power Ponies episode from MLP G4
9:23 in fact, I think her palette references the character "Sha" from ARG The Walten Files. comparing with the character of the ARG this palette is almost identical, in fact, SHE IS identical. so I don't believe it can be an original palette.
@@dextiger7522 I forgot that detail of the years, sorry. But, I definitely can't deny how familiar they are
But I also believe that this palette could have been added after The Walten files was released, but if I'm wrong again I'm sorry, I really don't know much about the game
2:47 it's rarity
The Minnesota palette might also be based off of Babe the Blue Ox (since Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox are local legends in Minnesota)
Is Punk Funk Bunk not supposed to be Punk Funk Skunk? I wasnt sure at first but theres at least 1 other webcomic reference here
1:34
The book uses the color scheme of the red bull.
1:00 Solid Snake
UNDERTALE!!!!!!!
Stealth Cow seems to be a reference to Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series :)
1:00 Solid Snake of Metal Gear fame
4:45
This looks similar to Lotus Dragon Cookie from Cookie Run Ovenbreak a little? Any agree?
1:00 snake from metal gear?
arizona's stealth palette could possibly be based off of solid snake from mgs
2:14 or it could be Rarity idk
If i had a nickel each time one of the least played champion n LoL was referenced in this game, i would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
Imagine if Paprika got a Loot Llama palette lol
6:30 can we just admit that’s literially spike
Spike is a PURPLE dragon.
The only things that belong to Spike, are the green flames
Stealth Cow is based on Solid Snake. And I'm quite sure Ten-Ton Magical Paca is based on Appa from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
2:21 Queen Chrysalis
Hey i know this is 2 years too late, but Royal Gold is based off the Gold Ranger from Power Rangers Zeo (Chouriki Sentai Ohranger).
It is a crime than Tianhuo doesn't have an American dragon Jake Long skin
Stealth cow is clearly solid snake lol
They lost the perfect opportunity to add a shenlong or jake long skin to tianhuo
GUNDAM!!!!
Stealth cow is a solid snake reference
1:01 solid snake
Isn’t Paprika’s Seasoning palette based on Yona the Yak? Ten-Ton Magical Paca is definitely Appa from Avatar.
oleander really has all those alts from mlp and not one based on Twilight
Are these real?
because some of them sound like they're trolling us
Color palettes for Arizona based on Lactaid, Marshall Moo Montana and The Laughing Cow? Really?
Thank you! :D
7:44 made me He/she look liked... Hade from Hercules
3:59 Yo creí que era pinki pie XD
Isnt stealth cow supposed to be snake from metal gear?
6:29 it's a maneiac
4:54 The evil lion from The Lion king?
1:00 is ma brother snake
1:01 is metal gear solid snake
5:47 reminds me of ardyn izunia
Love the pokemon palettes
I'm pretty sure 'Stealth Cow' is based on Solid Snake
THE MIDNA PALLETE???!!!!
I think Velvet is crying out for an Autumn Blaze palette.
oleader 1:43
Paprika was the Kuzco llama dance
What’s GRL2D
Pom 9:35
0:09 Apple Jack
Her fire color references sunset shimmer from MLP equestria girls
Isn't there two ponies based on MagpiePony and Lost Narrator?
2:38 The Unicornomicon looks like Starlight Glimmer, isn't it ?
